Linguica Posted January 21, 2002 http://www.doomworld.com/classicdoom/ The Doomworld redesign as of another weekend's worth of work. Take a look. Before bitching about something, make sure and check the options page to make sure it's not settable. One or two people have already complained about stuff which is changeable. Not all the databases have been filled, which is why the source ports section has a lot of empty pages and the music section only lists E1. A lot of the work I've been doing has been with backend databases, which isn't apparent to people viewing the site, but makes it approximately 1000 times easier for me to maintain and update. Yes, I know that the intermediary pages are horribly spartan, so don't bother mentioning it because yes I know. Obviously I have not done the levels page yet. Things that I notice but you may not: - The superthin bar directly about the titles on pages which shows a little path listing with the ability to back up, I added that in because blocking the adserver makes trying to go back using the "back" button a pain. * You can sort tables by the different fields, so if you want to see all the Windows source ports listed by filesize, be my guest. iii) After looking at the Options page, if you know of any Doom monsters with highres pictures that I am not using, let me know. 4) It's /classicdoom because there's going to be a /doom3 as well + The sidebar links don't point to the redesigned pages so don't freak out F) Suggestions are welcome 0 Share this post Link to post
deathz0r Posted January 21, 2002 you have skulltag 0.92 twice in the multiplayer section. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted January 21, 2002 I'd really like the top flat to be random or at least changeable. Floor4_8 would be cool for example. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted January 21, 2002 OH JOY. Pretty cool, I love the random stuff going on at the top. You might want to tabulate the "editor and utilities" section. The pic looks pretty weird when placed under the navbar. I agree with Fredrik, it needs another background. I'm not sure if a flat would do the trick, though...

Fredrik Posted January 21, 2002 I've actually been bugging Ling to change the water flat for something different (preferably something in the same style as the menu table), but he just ignores me =P 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted January 21, 2002 The ad banner is getting on my nerves. POETRY CONTEST WIN! $10,000 stupid flower-weilding beatnik gif...anyway, I don't like how the ad banner looks in that corner. Perhaps you should move it below the dw logo, between that and the top story or something. 0 Share this post Link to post
Julian Posted January 21, 2002 I know it wouldn't be viewable in all browsers, but it could be nice to use 'justify' alignment instead of 'left'. Nice nice nice nice work so far :) 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted January 21, 2002 Looks damn nice Ling. Nothing wrong here :) 0 Share this post Link to post
kain Posted January 21, 2002 well i have to ask this one question, are we redisigning doomworld or just re building it completely??? new everything?? because these popups make my fingers bleed from trying to kill them on everypage i load. 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted January 21, 2002 We're paying good money for this?...No...wait...it's free! Wow cool stuff Ling, way to go 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted January 21, 2002 Cool stuff, though the bar on the right looks a bit... square. Maybe I'm just spoiled by WinXP's play-dough look though. 0 Share this post Link to post
elbryan42 Posted January 21, 2002 Groovy.... Impossibly cool! Keep up the good work, Ling. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted January 21, 2002 That is very nice indeed. There are no colors stealing the eyes attention. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted January 21, 2002 Great job Ling! Can't wait to see the redesign done! 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted January 21, 2002 That's sweet...does this have anything to do with me not being able to access the forums? 0 Share this post Link to post

Linguica Posted January 21, 2002 Abandoned - Doom Resurrection I may be far off. but wasn't this released? Maybe Fatal released something under that name, but the Mike Tawney led project that that webpage is about was abandoned long ago. 0 Share this post Link to post
999cop Posted January 21, 2002 everything is great except for the doomer-penis logo, which makes the site look gross. The demon images are awesomely sweet =] 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted January 21, 2002 the design itself is cool. I'd change the colors though, something like dark gray/white. The navy blue or whatever the hell it actually is got boring. A white background, grayish/black menu, and something redone to the top so it fit in and I think it would look a lot better, but whatever. EDIT: I'm bored, I'll actually play around with the colors, if it comes out cool I'll post a link to it here for all to see. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted January 21, 2002 I plan on eventually migrating all the fonts/colors to a CSS document so theoretically I could offer several color schemes. 0 Share this post Link to post
