- New web design for our ModDB Page customized at least like this one. The graphics is on us: preferably, we will use Ashirox's Tavern and make the buttons on signs: Forums, Twitter, etc.

I will make some tries. Smile

So, first I copy the "starwars conquest page" 's css, and I make it more readable;
Code:

It's more "fast" to first copy the css of someone else on this kind of site; in order to know the names on what we can work.. Searching theses names 1 by 1 is really long. ^^ (but maybe the moddb site provide an empity css to fill??.. :p)

Design of H3SW page on www.moddb.com Empty

I think you should register there to check ModDB engine capabilities. I will then add you to H3SW team there so you will be able to experiment. From what I was able to figure out, their engine has some limitations and some CSS solutions didn't work for me; I gave up and did simple HTML, and with the latest update of ModDB things became broken.

In fact, yes, I would like to be able to change the interface there completely to a more H2-styled design, and also make some buttons active on the building signs of the Tavern I showed you. That would be fresh.

For the buttons on the ashirox tavern image; you mean theses 4:
- Official website
- facebook
- twitter
- vk
? Very Happy


I am register on it. Smile i jst "tracked" H3:SW..


edit:
I did some tries on local; seems we have to find tricks to modify the look. Smile

For the moment, I didn't find any "edit" button, or any "modifications" page where I can add some css code or so. Smile
But mah, I will be offline for some hours, but I hope to work on it when I come back!! Smile

+ I am register on it. Smile i jsut tracked H3:SW.. http://www.moddb.com/members/GodRage

I sent you an invitation to H3SW Team. Check the upper part of the website for an icon of a letter. It should appear there.

The buttons I think of should feature the most actual mod resources. So, perhaps, this kind of idea can work:
Design of H3SW page on www.moddb.com PJvwVZq

This is for maximum variant. The minimum variant (since we don't have a reliable support from AshiRox) should feature only 4 sign buttons: Official Forums, Facebook, VK and YouTube.
All objects/buttons must change their look when pointed by mouse cursor. Of course, all graphics are on us.
The text on the bottom will be a part of the image, I suppose. ModDB doesn't allow to use custom fonts, only standard family.

What I need from  you is to:

Gems Check if you are able to make buttons changing their look if pointed on by the mouse cursor
Gems Check if you are capable to change the classic ModDB interface (all panels like SW Conquest mod for Mount&Blade does)
Gems Check if this image size fits to the ModDB width limitation fine, and if not, reveal the maximum width so I will be able to adjust the image and buttons accordingly.
Gems Check if your buttons redirect to proper info sources. Well, that's not needed because even I was successful in making such buttons.

You can do what you want with the current H3SW ModDB page design. There is no trouble if it is scrapped because it got too old anyway.

edit: just putting into spoiler outdated parts.

hahaahaha!! Does JVC really said that about H3:SW!?? Very Happy It would be funny and awesome to add a sentence of him in this page. Smile

I never did it before, but I wanted to do it! Smile
The key is in html: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_area_href.asp
outdated:
So.. I will have to force the site to accept some css programmation... So I must save first what was here in place ;
Code:
<p><img src="http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/24/23726/auto/1384678516bczx.png" alt="" width="1024" height="768" style="z-index: -8; left: 0px; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; background-repeat: repeat-y; position: fixed; top: 0px; height: 100%; border: 0px none; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/24/23726/auto/y7e3.png" alt="" width="904" height="650" style="margin-top: 17px;" /></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">The Succession Wars Mod is a total conversion for Heroes of Might and Magic III, replacing the game graphics with warm pixelated standards of its prequel, HMMII, also adding many new unique developments.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Meet new units in every castle. Every unit now can be upgraded, like in classic HMMIII, and </span><br /> <em><span style="color: #ff99cc;">even PEASANTS now have a chance to build a career!</span></em></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Get yourself prepared to meet the quintessence of many magnificent features specific to both of the games. But don't forget to leave the place for something new in your heart, as plenty of things will be attaining this category. Also, don't expect you will get away so easily from the old friends from the very past. The earlier parts of the series will not be forgotten by us as well in sorts of ways.</span></li>
</ul>
<center><span style="font-size: 24px;"><span style="color: #000000;">VISIT OUR OTHER INFO SOURCES!</span></span></center><center><a href="http://heroes3mod.webs.com" target="_blank" title="Visit our Official Website and Forums!"><img src="http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/24/23726/auto/kvpx.png" alt="The Succession Wars Mod Official Website" width="180" height="60" /></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesuccessionwarsmod" target="_blank" title="Like us on Facebook!"><img src="http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/24/23726/auto/yg4o.png" alt="The Succession Wars Mod Facebook Page" width="180" height="60" /></a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSuccessionWarsMod/videos" target="_blank" title="Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!"><img src="http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/24/23726/auto/oj2c.png" alt="The Succession Wars Mod YouTube Channel" width="180" height="60" /></a> <a href="http://vk.com/thesuccessionwarsmod" target="_blank" title="Join Russian SW Mod Community!"><img src="http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/24/23726/auto/pf98.png" alt="The Succession Wars Mod VK Page" width="180" height="60" /></a></center>
<p></p>
Then even if I do an irreversible mistake, we still can paste that. Smile


So, right now:
1/ I will try to make css working.
2/ Checking about image size.
(it kind of come together.. :p)

Hah, if he really said it word-by-word, I would run naked on the street for an hour. I will try to make H3SW shown to him sometime though.
Anyways, I'm waiting for good news!

Ok, first news for you! Smile

Here is a list of what you need to know about how customization works:

  • Customizations won't replace the main CSS of ModDB. Your modifications will be added into another one, which will be implemented into all of your pages.
  • Your modifications need to be staff approved, that means you will need to give your customized CSS to the staff, by sending a private message to Erayser (website editor). Modifications are generally approved and applied within 2 business days.
  • If you want to use a customized design created by someone else on the site, you will need to get the express authorization from the author.
  • If your modifications break the site in a sense of conflictual CSS and/or HTML elements, your modifications won't be approved until you solve them.
  • The ModDB logo and the user bar can't be removed. However, you can edit them, visually speaking.
  • Your modifications can be applied on both ModDB and IndieDB.

So... Just making the stuff offline, and then sending everything by email... Smile

940px for the body
940px for a div
920px when it's a

paragraph



So, the image we need must be 940px width. Smile
And... Also with "Youtube" & "VK" & etc wroten on it. + image to display when the mouse is hover.
(so you can just make a kind of yellow light with transparency, in png, then we may use only 1 image for all the overs... anyway, I didn't really succeeded make to load an image when it's hover. :p)

It took time but it's working fine on my computer, with only 2 lines of css:
.nonono,.nonono table,.nonono td{top:0px;left:0px;border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;border-spacing:0px;}
div.normalbox div.body table{margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;}


and some html lines:* They want to rally your army. Do you accept? *
<table background="main-screen940.bmp" class="nonono m10" width="940"><tbody class="nonono"><tr><td>
<img name="h2street" src="blank940.png" width="940" height="585" alt="H3 Succession Wars" usemap="#h3sw2">
<map name="h3sw2" id="h3id" class="h3boutons" onmouseover=style='border:1px;'>

<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,200,100" onmouseover="document.images['h2street'].src='top-right.png';" onmouseout="document.images['h2street'].src='blank-640-398.png';" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSuccessionWarsMod/videos" alt="Youtube">
<area shape="poly" coords="234,7,283,12,325,26,297,91,264,80,235,77,234,7,235,8" onmouseover="document.images['h2street'].src='facebook.png';" onmouseout="document.images['h2street'].src='blank-640-398.png';" href="https://www.facebook.com/thesuccessionwarsmod" alt="Facebook">
<area shape="circle" coords="500,100,20" onmouseover="document.images['h2street'].src='vk.png';" onmouseout="document.images['h2street'].src='blank-640-398.png';" href="http://vk.com/thesuccessionwarsmod" alt="VK">

</map>
</td></tr></tbody></table>
(half credit to this page)
For each link, we'll need to make the click-area shape ; there is 3 kind of shape:
rect = rectangular. first angle x,y + opposite angle x,y.
circle = x,y +radius (in pixel)
poly = polygone, each point have an x,y (can be so long to do...)

And so, this is what images we need; (all png)
"h2tavern" image with 940px width (585px height?). (it will touch right and left borders)
and then 1 image (940*585) for each "hover". (10 links=10 images), background must be transparent. (i mean, don't keep any useless part or the file is too heavy :p)


For putting text(blabla?bla!) over the h2tavern-image, it will just need one line of css (padding-top:-300px;)... But, i think it's better to write blabla things directly in the image (HommII fonts!! Very Happy)


And... I'm sure I'm forgetting something important...

For the other stuff (tables design), I will see tomorrow. Smile

So, did you manage to find a way to create buttons which change when you hover your mouse cursor on it? Fantastic!

Now the only thing to do is to replace standard ModDB interface with our own panels, like MISERY mod for Stalker or Fall of Kobol for Sins of the Solar Empire.

I must admit, however, that changing the classic ModDB interface is not 100% necessary for the mod to be popular. In fact, there are mods like Brutal Doom which don't need it. But they got awesome support because they were already popular all over the world thanks to Doom fans and manifold communities.

As for us, we have just created such a community. Very Happy

I still have to make the background image, all the images for the "hover"... Smile (or you may do the background image?..)

And anyway, don't worry, I will try to do something great. (like I did for the Forums of Enroth. Wink).
And after I did it, we still make adjustments as H3SW team wish. Smile

The very background image (which is painted with Dirt terrain here on Forums of Enroth) should be made of Terra Incognita. It feels great to see those stars in the deepest dark.

If you mean the image I sent you (the tavern), it is already made. I can re-size it for 940px width and send to you if needed. The buttons are on us - I will try to persuade Ashirox to make the beautiful text first.

By Terra Incognita, you mean the fog covering the non-revealed parts of the map?

Send me it both, the full size and the 940px one.
The design of the buttons must be drawn directly on the image of the tavern. ^^
Only the "hover" design must be in another image. Wink
But wait, I will put a sample online soon, it will be more easy to understand how I managed it to work. Wink

Stop stop stop, I've told you that the graphics is on us. This means that we are responsible for graphics. You don't have to do the graphic design for buttons, man.

What we want is a new HD font replicating Heroes 2 buttons. Here is the example Ashirox did:

Design of H3SW page on www.moddb.com Image

What we need from you is the HTML/CSS code for making the image shine. When we will get the new HD font from Ashirox, we will use your code and the design will be finished.

However, aside from the buttons, your graphic help with classic ModDB interface will be very much appreciated. I thought about this kind of texture for text backgrounds and frames:

Don't worry. I just made some design just as idea (design didn't took that much time..Very Happy), because I had to make an image for each one to check if the hover works well, and to show you how the images must be done.
This is the stuff I made : https://heroes2.forumactif.com/h2-try1-menu-of-heroes-of-might-and-magic-iii-the-succession-wars

So, you can see that the "buttons" must be done in the main image.
And the, 1 image for each "hover" effect desired. Smile theses images must all be in 940*585.



For ModDB interface, I will try stuff tomorrow. Smile

edit: by the way there is some url that I don't know (twitter, check for translate, OF2 community)

For the big whole inside, no problem; it's far from the border so I can manage it. Smile

Do you have a wide "terra incognita"png? from h3sw? (Or does the look is totally same as H3 one? H3 one? :p..)

And.. can you tell me what images you want I keep in the actual page. Smile

Ok, I kind of finished my work for the moment; you can see how it looks on this image:

Design of H3SW page on www.moddb.com H3sw_moddb_2015_07_25_short1
https://2img.net/h/s28.postimg.cc/9wyib8wsd/h3sw_moddb_2015_07_25_short1.png
it's png image, 5 Mo. Smile

So, outside the 2 wrong design that my "web screenshot taking" plugin did, it's quite fancy. Smile
Right arrow We need a better Heroes III The Succession Wars logo for the top,
Right arrow shadow I did a good job on the border, we don't really notice where I joined/cuted them. ^^
Right arrow We need also a bar for putting under the menu (summary, news, features,..). I took a bar from the game, but I had to make it more big to fit the menu size. (because transforming the links into buttons wasn't working. :s)
Right arrow shadow and then I will have to make the colors of them matching the menu-bar.png. Smile
Right arrow a modDB logo redesigned by us. Because I took Design of H3SW page on www.moddb.com Mlogo_mini on another mod's page. :p


Right arrow shadow The H3:TSW menu will be added later (that's why it's not on this screenshot).

On the H3:TSW menu page, did you enjoy the hover on the Potion??? Very Happy
I would like to add a lot of stuff like that! Smile ... Can I? Very Happy

Very nice job! You have managed to make almost everything I wanted! The hover effect is done just right and the outline looks like something we will add (but I think the outline for buttons will be yellow like it was in the original menu); we will create our own buttons with the proper lighting later. Concerning the potion... I guess not now, because it will also require proper graphic style, and I would like to have a special effect devised for that button (otherwise people will think that it's something wrong with the bottle). Smile

Crystal Concerning the native ModDB interface, you have shown a decent progress. The frames for message windows look okay and we even can leave them like that I suppose; the background for them is a little bit noticeable as it stands out. I guess we can fix it. I am also thinking about darkening the whole interface because currently it's hard to read the fonts. The font color should be grey, and it is too bad that we cannot customize it... but there is nothing we can do I think.

Crystal Finally, I would like to propose this kind of filler for the "grid" you mentioned. Since it's grey, maybe we can use Heroes 2 Border on the adventure map? The only problem for it will be only to link it properly.

Crystal Ah, and one more thing. I guess we should use the same brownish interface you used everywhere for the Tavern screen (yes, everything that it is currently in the beige thin border will be deleted, with the Tavern put inside). All fonts on the page must be milk white, otherwise they will not be noticeable. Also, about the ModDB menu (news, downloads, etc.): we will need to think what kind of a menu bar should be there to satisfy the white font color. The beige bar doesn't seem to get on with it perfectly.

Anyways, I'm really happy after the demonstration you show me. This is the kind of thing I would never have done myself because I don't know CSS and don't have time to learn it. You will have my eternal gratitude for this development.

I can, I just didn't worked on that, because we don't have the "final" images yet. (so, if I design the font color right now, I will probably must re-design it after putting another background image..)

For the "everything in milk white color!" ... Nahhh... Titles in H2yellow! it's a "graphic rule" in H2. Smile
and after, there is more than 1color on brownish tables: theyre is white-ish, greyish, redish(links). Smile
the white-ish one is E2E2E2 (it's also H2 game "white" color if I remember well).

The titles can be in H2 yellow I think, but I would at least vote for making them bold if it's possible. Let's hope they will be displayed just right.

And the headline letters still don't fit very good to the background. I think we should create special backgrounds for headlines like this mod has.

An ultimate variant would be to make H2 golden buttons for the headlines (as images), but I don't know if this is possible.
