Website Improvements

Post by DarkValthonis »

I think some aditional content on the actual website could be very handy. Things like a screenshot library section? History of Atheria (cant spell it) section, Interactive map etc etc.

Would be very nice to have accessable from the website in my opinion



8) Feel free to shoot it down, just ideas

If there were a screenshot section wouldn't be able to use regular screenshots, tga format is huge and sucks bandwidth.
I'd say convert them to jpg, use 10 compression, and convert to 800x600 if this were to be done.
Unless someone wants to host and let hotlinks be used from the ns webpage.

Did a test:
Original fiel size was 3601Kb
converted to jpg and 800x600 with 1 compression was 306kb
converted to jpg and 800x600 with 10 compression was 112kb

You might try Irfanview, its a free program, to resize and change format.

I use it for my map site of my old ad&d campaign to make thumbnails.
