ToJ TF2 Site

Have at it Bakey. All I can think of really needing is a place to post announcements/events and the server monitor. Maybe a link to the forums or info about our IRC. Don't really have any other links or other info to place on it. Chat boxes are useless spam collectors that will only draw away from IRC and the forums too.

Anyone have any SIMPLE ideas for things that should be on our site? I'm talking links and information not interactive flash :p.
 
Uhhh:

Rules for the server (and current map rotation)
Official blog link
TF2 wiki (for newbies?)
Official forum link (or not? :p)
The tips we all posted in order under each class
Info about Tuesday nights
Scrim info (an e-mail address for Scrim requests)
Free ice-cream bars every Saturday night for those that show up :rolleyes:
Favorite clan death screenies? :p
 
I do like the death screenies... WE SHOULD HAVE A CONTEST!!!! Who can get the most intersting shot of clan mates dying.
 
Tek gave me access to the web site and the server info is now correct on the web page.

Screen shots are always fun I just never get around to uploading them or figuring out the thumbnail tag (is it just thumbnail with brackets or what?).

I use ImageShack when posting screenshots because IS displays forum code for clickable thumbnails after every upload.

Rules for the server (and current map rotation) - where can I find this?
Official blog link - even better, current blog posts updating via RSS feed
TF2 wiki (for newbies?) - ToJ created or link to the "official" wiki (http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Main_Page) ?
Official forum link (or not? :p) - latest forum posts feed via RSS done
The tips we all posted in order under each class - this will require some compilation. Need a volunteer.
Info about Tuesday nights - This can be a standing notice on the index page
Scrim info (an e-mail address for Scrim requests) - scrim request form that emails The Mighty Gerbil?
Favorite clan death screenies? - looking at a gallery for this so you guys can easily upload your own.

Tribe of Judah has a working gallery script on-site, but there's a good chance we'll be moving from custom code to a CMS (content management system) before fall or winter this year.
 
I hate to be critical of your mock up T_T but I'm pretty sure just putting link the would go directly to the teamfortress site would serve us better. I mean it would be easier to read full screen and there is a certain word we've already had a discussion about not using on the forums. It's great you put a disclaimer but putting an off site link would distance us more from being associated with Valve and give a option to go back without it just popping up on the screen. A news category could probably cover Toj events but then simply putting those on the front page may be better. Maybe a category called information could have a link to teamfortress.com along with a link to the wiki and any other off site information sources. Then a group disclaimer could be put above them all. I have many good links dedicated to server administering, demo recording, and map making that could all be relevant to an information category.

I do like having the more complete server info on there in addition to teamspeak. Linking to the latest forum posts is good too.

As for rules I have the motd but not the more elaborate explanation version as yet (I've actually got one half typed but haven't got time to finish it). Here is a copy of the motd rules with and without code if you want it. It was created for brevity so it only hits the largest problems we have, some things are not included. Our rotation will probably be changing after our next custom map night which I should have going fairly soon.

Server rules page created, TF2 blog rss feed removed, I'll add another page tomorrow with links to the official blog, the wiki, and those other links you have would be good, TMG.
 
Here are some links for you Bakey. I've got more but I think this should be more than enough to start with. I'm not going to include a direct link to the map site though as I've had problems with it in the past, one of sites I've linked to lists it on it anyway.

I think what we should do is get a map pack uploaded onto our server in compressed form so we can give people a safe place to download the custom maps needed to play in the ToJ server.

*edit*

I have an idea for some of the graphics to go on the menu, but I need a good picture of a red stickybomb. Can someone provide me one or track one down for me?

I is working on it. It took a looooong time to go through new maps but I am uploading some now. Once I get that done I can see about making a map pack.

I'll see what I can do about artwork but promise nothing as I'm pretty busy right now.
 
Gerbil, if you can get me the list, I can do the actual upload. I've got some pretty decent bandwidth at home. Also, I don't really need graphics, I just need a red sticky bomb. I may just get in game and take a screenshot.
 
Braveheart, i'd certainly take any help you're willing to give. I've got a skeleton up, I just gotta buckle down on some graphics so we can roll it from testing to live.

I'm halfway on the graphics end Bakey so you need not create some. If you already have it done though I'll leave off working on it just tell me. I am kind of stalled out working on it at the moment because I'm working on getting custom map night and our map pack going. (I am an artist not a coder so I have to kind of hack together the code parts :p).

I'll send you a link to a rough .jpg mock up so you can take a look at it.

That's perfect as I'm a coder not an artist. :p

Between the 2 of us we ought to be able to make the new site look like your mockup. Basically I need all those elements separated out into individual files so I can place them on the site.
