Yup, it worked. I added a section for info on the NR on tuesday ( http://www.freewebs.com/njomod/newrepublicinfo.htm ), and i'll probably do the one for the vong tomorrow (thursday). i have even less to do at school tomorrow than tues, lol.

btw, love the av NegativeSmiley, the expression on dooku's face is perfect :)

No you don't, you can make models with any 3D package, as long and you can export them into a format which XSI supports.

New domain name for website http://www.njomod.tk

Alpha is offering to work on peoples websites (like ours) to make them look better, I was just wondering what you guys thought about it and if the website is really that important or not.

and dreadlordnyax the website still works the same as far as editing it and stuff

Well for now thats good, but when we acctually get some media and start advertising the mod it would be better if we have a better website. Use to do websites but havent touch html or websites in a while. The major problem that i see right now is the backgrounds, tilling like that isnt not good, also some of backgrounds are way to bright. One suggestion would be to put them in photoship and make them on tone (Like a Blue) to match with the rest of the site.

If you want i can give a try at making a template for the site.

i could probably help with some of the art for the site as well if you need it, and, yeah, the tiling isn't good.

i say, if alpha's gonna do that for free, let him take a shot at it, if not, let raingod do it
if alpha's willing to do it for free, that'll let raingod have more time to work on models ;)

and do we really wanna go with a blue tone for the website, i mean, i like blue, its a pretty color, but it makes everything seem too peaceful, completely un-vonglike.

Of course I'm doing it for free, lol. :D What color scheme are you going to want? I'll map out some templates when I can to show you want possible concepts are as soon as I can.

It looks better now (place holder)

Anyway I can't get the current site to change to HTML so Alpha could you just start a new website (I don't care where) and just copy the info over?

I think some good colors would be blood red and black

btw I'll change the domain name over to the new site when it is working

Yeah, I was going to make a new one. I'll copy the info, and a red and black sounds good. I'll work on it as soon as possible, and what kind of layout would you like?

Banner Position:
Top or Side

Navigation:
Left, Right, Top

Font:
Any common one will do,
just for the sake of the
average user being able to
see it

Banner:
Basic Square
Other (I'll do something creative, :P )

Banner Position:
Top

Navigation:
Left

Font:
I'll let someone else call it

Banner:
Other

The overall appearence of the website should be a dark menacing feel, and look awesome :D

This is a square banner than I might tweak later:

I also reccomend .co.nr as your free domain host over tk. No ads.

Post by Trans »

Can you give me the sites to those hosts and what is that writing in the background, it looks awesome
Alpha

Post by Alpha »

It's Aurubesch (the widely spoken and written language of the star wars universe) in the background, it says some random stuff in it too. The last line is "guru is the best jawa avatared admin in the galaxy". http://www.freewebs.com/njoswbf2 this is the homepage now, the banner is a placeholder, because it's stretched so it's not amazing right now, but this is kind of the layout that it consists of right now. I condensed factions and maps into their own spearte pages to conserve space. http://www.yourdomain.co.nr is the co.nr hosting address.

That second link gave me this soultech.nechuroo.org

So it does... my bad: http://www.freedomain.co.nr/ and check the site again in a few minutes I finished a new banner.

No signups till January 15th and the new banner looks a lot better, it also says we could get a .com site for only $2.95 a year which I might look into...for later if the mod is popular enough.

Font: Verdana? Arial?

i like the red/black a whole lot better than the old colors.
but arent banners usually rectangles? or am i thinking of something else? and that one doesn't really look square anyways...

added vong classes to the old website, btw, still need to add vehicles and spacecraft, as well as a couple misc things.

o i just found where trans got those pics of the vong/nr armor from on star wars wiki. unfortunately it did not say where they were originally from :(

its also got a pic of :chew: dying :(, that pic u used on the website for the battle of dubrillon, and some other random space pic.

It also has a good pic of a space battle with skips and a warship in the background.

Also I think we need a page on the website that is dedicated to basic info on the Yuuzhan Vong for people who are interested in the mod but haven't read the series, which will probably be a lot of people.
