-The table cells are allowed to move inside the table (horizontally of course). So if there is a long mapname it will move the other cells a bit.
-The screenshots are supposed to be displayed on the left side of the description.
-The download links are not working. The contribute.html is not done.
Shout if there is any information missing. Maybe I forgot about some thing people want.
If someone has a good color to suggest for links (because of too much pink maybe), I might consider it. =)
Same goes for the hearts. Maybe some small Quake-related symbol?
 Looks Fine Here

in GreenBrowser/IE5.5, pages load fast. I assume the current non-pageable listings are just examples?

So your new plan is to strictly focus on making a really good level database with screenshots, downloads, etc? But without the database?
Sounds cool; personally I would use a PHP and MySQL but if static HTML works better for you, it's your decision as the guy doing all the work.

get a theme worthy of quake! ;)
ok, at least get rid of the hearts. make them dots or q-runes or whatever. speedmapping does not deserve a category of its own (for i reckon only very few people actually play those maps) - maybe a subcategory at the appropriate position: s*.
being able to arrange the entries specifically by title/author/date/rating would be nice of course, but it probably can't be done easily in html..
#11813 posted by Spirit on 2007/03/16 09:01:46
I cannot code PHP&MySQL and do not want to rely on a cms again. Also with plain HTML it is easier to work with other people as they don't need to login anywhere but just take the page, modify it and mail it to me. (The decision is made and fixed.)
Plus it is easy to provide an offline version.
Sorting won't be available. It would be way too much work. But I will provide a csv file that can be imported in eg Excel, so you can sort yourself. ;)
I did not want to mix "normal" maps with speedmaps and there are about 10% speedmaps so I think an own category is ok.
About paging: It will be some extra work but I think I will have both an full listing and a paged version cut at 50 maps.

 Sci-fi Movie From Mid 90's Cnn Style
#11817 posted by nakasuhito on 2007/03/16 11:25:28
anyone ever saw a movie that was about these, well, i'd say asteroids or meteorites or whatever, as far as i can remember, none really knew what the things that crashed where? anyway, they *plop* in 3 mayor cities around the world, or maybe more than 3.
the movie was done in a way that was like watching a real news program. never broke out of that, and it ruled. so they showed that things got worse and worse and there where riots all around the world for some reason i cant remember.
anyway. the ending was that there where all these dots that appeared on a screen i think at nasa? and they where going to crash on earth! and everyone was freaking out and then the tv signal went fucked and the movie ended.
it was a tv movie, and it was on a cable movie channel (dont think its hbo) so yeah.
cant remember much about this movie, but i started remembering it the past few days and i cant get it out of my head. it was nicely done frmo what i remember (i was like 13 when i saw it, like in 1996? around the time independence day came out or so).
anyone ever heard of a movie like that?

As mwh already posted, there's a load of ready to use JavaScripts that do sorting of static HTML tables.

Personally I haven't taken a look at any of these so I can't recommend one but I guess it doesn't matter which one you use as long as it works.

Wait, is this the one where they land in the us, china, and like france, and form a triangle to guide aliens to land on the north pole?
If so I remember it too but have no idea what it is.
 Heh...
#11820 posted by metlslime on 2007/03/16 19:57:23
if you can design and build a spaceship, is it that hard to find the north pole?

#11821 posted by nakasuhito on 2007/03/16 20:46:47
yeah, i think thats the one. dont think i remember the triangle part, but i do remember asian students protesting like hell and people saying it was all going to end.
my description sucks tho'. i blame it on sleep :-)
agh, i'm going crazy about this. my dad remembers it too, but he has no idea about the name either.

 Wasn't It Some Made For TV Thing On ABC?
#11824 posted by Lunaran on 2007/03/17 06:34:15
That's what I'm remembering. I also remember weeks of them warning people in advance "DON'T PANIC IT'S FAKE WE HAVE TO SPOIL EVERY POSSIBLE OUNCE OF FUN SO WE'RE NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING"
 Dunno About Abc.
#11825 posted by nakasuhito on 2007/03/17 11:34:51
no, it wasnt on abc. i wasnt living on the us back then. it was on cable, a hbo channel, or a similar one. it was either an american film or british one, thats for sure.
i also remember that the "things" that crashed on the big cities i think had the recordings that the nasa dudes sent out on space. you know, the golden record with the recordings and information about the planet and stuff.
man, i talked to my dad about it and i remember freaking out like hell when i saw it. :-D
i better get an account over at imdb and ask in there. somebody must know the name of this damn movie.
 And The Movie Is...
