Title: PlaneShift Newbie Center
Post by: Kiva on December 13, 2003, 03:08:12 pm: Yeah, well, it\'s as the topic says. I\'m doing this new information dedicated to helping newbies of all ages on how to do stuff in PlaneShift. :) So feel free to contribute anything you want, as it\'ll take very little time to set up due to the php stuff I\'ve made myself. *Feels proud*... Just mail a link (or the whole thing) to me at gronomist@hotmail.com, or wait for the forum section to get up, and you can post it there.

For people who might be curious as to why I\'m doing this, it\'s because I know a pretty decent amount of people who are tired of telling people where to go, and what to do. Now it can all be gathered in one place. :)

It\'s quite empty at the moment, but that\'s why I need everyone\'s help to fill it up with stuff that can help anyone, so go ahead and do your part in helping the newbies of this community. :D

Here are the links:
http://psnc.no-ip.com/ (http://psnc.no-ip.com)
http://psnc.no-ip.org/ (http://psnc.no-ip.org)
http://psnc.no-ip.info/ (http://psnc.no-ip.info)

The .info one works for sure, but the other ones might be down a little, as they\'ve just been registered, and it may take some time to set up.

Btw: Moogie, I wasn\'t sure whether to post this in the Newbie forum or here, so just move it around according to what you think is the best. :P I just knew that more people would see it, if it got posted here... Oh well.

Edit: The site is optimized for 1024x768 with Internet Explorer, but please tell me if it\'s bugged with other browsers and such, and I\'ll see what I can do.

Post by: Xordan on December 13, 2003, 03:10:33 pm: hmm, good idea.
The .com and .org work fine. :D

Post by: Commando on December 13, 2003, 03:11:33 pm: It\'s pretty slow...

Post by: elscouta on December 13, 2003, 03:14:45 pm: Wow, The Talad story is great :D

Post by: Axsyrus on December 13, 2003, 03:21:29 pm: Nice, I\'m sure the newbies will like this :)
Title:
Post by: lynx_lupo on December 13, 2003, 03:52:20 pm: All 3 links work fine with my Opera. I\'d say it would be good to add the technical stuff like: linux how-to, faq of the probs, about linkdead, and the database error threads.

:tup:

Post by: Caldazar on December 13, 2003, 03:54:31 pm: Works fine with Mozilla, in 800*600.
Good job Grono :)
Title:
Post by: Moogie on December 13, 2003, 04:42:20 pm: Great work Grono! :) Are you going to have a kind of technical help section also? You could put links to deleting an account, updating the game, updating video card drivers, etc.

*signs up to the forums*

Oh, and if you want to make a thread with a link to the site in Newbie Help, I\'ll stick it for you.

[Edit: Didn\'t see Lynx already suggest the tech help stuff. :P]
Title:
Post by: Kiva on December 13, 2003, 04:59:37 pm: Sure, I\'ll probably add some of that stuff tomorrow as I\'ve got some other work I need to do first, but it\'ll come. :D
Title:
Post by: Boldstorm on December 13, 2003, 06:39:30 pm: Great job. :tup: All three came up fine in IE and Netscape for me.
Don\'t know if you want to add the Guild List links in there for people with those questions.

Post by: hook on December 14, 2003, 10:14:39 am: a bit slow (an a tad ugly), but great work :D
this should come in really handy for the noobies
Title:
Post by: Kiva on December 14, 2003, 02:45:50 pm: It\'s not at all ugly, hook. No it\'s not. :P I actually made everything myself, so I think it looks just fine, and if you think you can make something that\'s better, then go ahead. :)
Title:
Post by: Crj on December 14, 2003, 03:04:25 pm: Woo! Great idea! But you should work on the design. Maybe you can register an adress in http://www.dot.tk something like http://www.psnoob.tk its hard to remember the no-ip thingy, especialy for n00berts. Wonder how theyll find your site. This is realy a good idea.
Title:
Post by: Kiva on December 14, 2003, 03:50:49 pm: Okay, I\'ve just put some new graphics on the site, and I hope it looks better than the last one. :P However, it doesn\'t like 800x600, 1280x1024 or 1600x1200... So you\'ll have to stick with 1024x768 until I figure a way that I can let people choose between diffrent modes. :)
Title:
Post by: Moogie on December 14, 2003, 07:38:11 pm: I definitely like the new scheme, Grono. :)

I think there\'s a bug with the menu though...? Only the first links in both sections of the navigation bar change colour when you hover the mouse over them.
Title:
Post by: Axsyrus on December 14, 2003, 07:45:19 pm: yay, i helped :)
i think all the links need another color anyways, red and blue don\'t go together that well.
Title:
Post by: Caldazar on December 15, 2003, 04:34:42 pm: What am I missing?
I have no problem when viewing it in 800x600.
Title:
Post by: Axsyrus on December 15, 2003, 04:37:59 pm: that\'s because i helped with that :D

Post by: Juzz on March 03, 2005, 04:40:59 am: None of the links works anymore - what has happened?

Do you need help getting it up again?
Title:
Post by: buddha on March 03, 2005, 06:41:52 am: Watch your language there, Juzz.

What? ?(

I asked if there was need of help getting the website up again - what\'s offensive about that?
Title:
Post by: sekhmet on March 03, 2005, 12:34:32 pm: no-ip.com is a dynamic dns adress so I\'m guessing the webserver is on his home pc. So his pc is proberly not on atm. Also that\'s why it is so slow, ADSL has very poor upload.

Uhh this tread is so old, why did you guys dig this up again?
Title:
Post by: buddha on March 03, 2005, 04:07:46 pm: I was making a bad joke, Juzz. Don\'t worry. It\'s me that has the poor taste!

Post by: Kixie on March 03, 2005, 04:46:46 pm: Dirty necromancers... :rolleyes:

Anyways, the page was VERY outdated. I doubt it needs to be put back up. But, if someone feels like creating a PS newbie page that includes all the current issues on CB then I do not see a problem in it. Then again, the devs, moogie and countless others have already made faq pages that are very accessable to the newb community. :O
Title:
Post by: Juzz on March 03, 2005, 08:44:27 pm: OK, it was just me wondering about the thread marked important in the newbie start forum, so then I searched for pnsc - since that was an abbrevation used.

But as you said Moogie has made some good posts for newcomers ;)
