added a lobby development wiki page

Post by Satirik »

just added a lobby development wiki page to redirect people who want to help the different lobby projects

feel free to improve/edit/add it http://springrts.com/wiki/Lobby_Development

also edited the about page to tell people how awesome are the spring lobbies

edit: btw it would be fuckin GREAT to change the fuckin css link style so we can see it's a FUCKIN link and not just normal text ... like changing the color ... same for titles, it would be really cool to put the numbering before the title and add spaces before according to the number

edit2: it needs MORE caps and MORE 'FUCKIN'

the links do show up against the text... you need better monitor contrast.

aegis remind me to not ask you to make a websitebecause you don't understand contrast !

as you can see there is two different colors but they are not contrasted enough to really see the difference

Description download link
Description download link -- current one (inverted colors because of lighter background)

inverting was a bad example because the background is too far away for their contrast to do anything, and 1px-wide dark lines get antialiased to pretty much black

I wouldn't advise you to make websites because you'll use ugly colors in the interest of contrast...

yes, the wiki links aren't as visible as they could be, but they *are* visible if your monitor is decent and is properly configured.

I'm sorry aegis, but the fact is the links are nigh on invisible....

Even if under some circumstances some people can see them - I think the better solution than getting everybody to change their monitor contrast, etc. is to just change the links colors, to be honest.

Nice Page by the way, Satirik - think it does a good job of showing what's out there :).

Also, try to stay sensible you two - nothing to argue about!

Im sure such a page already existing. I remember creating the link to AFLobby and arranging the layout like when I layed out the AI section.

The links ARE visible BUT they are not visible enough, very little contrast if any. You can see them, but they should jump out at you, they shouldnt require you to look for them like they do now

Page width needs increasing by about 100px, the forum theme doesnt fit, especially the control panel.

There are a few other things broken, for example the background image and colour css is broken in every major browser except internet explorer.

Feel free to tweak the CSS and submit it. There's already a bug report about it here: http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=1354
