Blog - Peter - 02-07-2008
Yo.
Tomorrow afternoon the brand new Development Blog will open her doors. I'll explain a bit what the exact idea behind this forum is.
Let's say development starts, you assign yourself a ticket, spent a couple of days creating this awesome feature, finally it's finished and tested, and then? Well, you create a blogpost about it! It isn't obligated to do so, however, it's a nice way to get some credit for the work you've done, considering your name will be tagged on the post.
You can include pictures of your feature, create a small video, whatever you like. In the near feature the betateam can be invited to help you create those pictures. Well, that's about all there is to say on the subject. However, please do know that before you post anything at all, you must have access from a lead developer to post the message!

Yeah.
I think it'd be cool if we refrained from posting as much as possible, so we can build hype.
One or two a week should be fine, like say if we finish the entire gangs system, or are close to we could post one or two pics of different modes or such we can come up with so we're not giving too much away in order to build tension and hype, however we're giving something so they know we're progressing.
But yea, whatever.

Another thing: do not use any references to MTA, disable your chatbox in screenshots and simply don't name it
Re: Blog - tomozj - 02-08-2008
Alright.
Oh, but what about GUI elements?
But erm, it seems comments are 'bumping' blog posts to the top.. can this be avoided? It's kinda un-blog-like.
Re: Blog - Sander - 02-08-2008
Good suggestion.
It should be sorted on id, highest ID on top.
But ehm, talking about the MTA part, I'm sure some people recognize some MTA-a-like things, and the Developers wanted topic asks for LUA.. = MTA, if you talk about GTA SA that is.
So, why keep this secret?

Indeed. It'll be kind of hard to keep that its on MTA a secret. There probably people who have never seen MTA and would never know. But for the people who have, they'll probably recognize it right away, especially if we use things unique to MTA.
Re: Blog - tomozj - 02-08-2008
I guess it's more professional to not have GTA & MTA (chatbox) elements, but game-mode only.
So in these pre-release builds we could simply make a key to toggle this?

There's a little bug in the comments-section, it says 'Edit - Remove' next to every comment after the one I posted. When I click it, it says I can't edit the post.

Another thing: it'd be nice if the big LVP logo took you to the blog homepage -- it's annoying finding the all categories link for someone who's arriving for the first time.
