Oddworld: The Archives

[Xavier]

This is going to be my next site, I can start to work a lot on it from now (I've passed my exams with 81%!). I'm not totally sure about the name yet.

It will contain most of the things you expect to find in the archives and perhaps even more. There are tons of things I want to include in it and all propositions are welcome.

In fact I've decided to let those who want help do some sections.
But I'm not quite sure how it will work out.

Anyway, my main problem is that I'm not that good for making desings (look at TOGG, I made it simple because I couldn't do much better), and I don't want another TOGG like desing.

So I was wondering if someone around here could make a nice, oddworld based, and archives taste desing in easy Html (so I can modify it if I have to)

Of cource he will have his name in big in the team list and my eternal gratitude

Hmm... Well, last year I was totally in HTML stuff.
I'll take a look at my old(-dead) files and see if I can do something for you.

I think I can get this little Oddworld like Explorer (like windows Explorer) done.
Plus: I've got nothin' to do in my vacation, yet...

[Oddish]

Well I'll like do a website design, but I don't know HTML.

[Xavier]

perhaps you could do a nice logo
it has to have a dusty, archives feel
the final title will be "The Oddworld Archives"

[big bro boogie]

Like old 'n dusty with some paramite and bolamite webs covering some oddworldian folders?
Sounds coolie.

[Godlesswanderer]

If I can get my own site sorted, I might be able to design some stuff for you.

[Xavier]

I have some serious content allready done...
This site is going to have a huge amount of content

I need a CREW!

[big bro boogie]

Oh My God, Xav! Yer back!
Err... yea, I'm still busy with that template and all, and I'd love to be a crew member.
So ehm, I've got a thought about how that site is going to look like, but I'm not sure with yo preferences.
I'm thinking about a two-framed like template. The left frame has like, ehm, little folders to click on (non-skinned yet), while the right frame shows the content of that folder. Get wha I mean? It only would need some oddworldian looks and such.

Also, you wanted it to be easy editable. Hmm...
I can type all you need to know right here, the only fact is, it's a bunch to type.
So, you just answer if you like or don't like the way I think of how the Oddworld Archives is gonna be like.

[Havoc]

I would like to help ya run the site, be a crew member and whatnot. If you can use me. I might be able to design the template. Been wanting to do that for a while now.

the site doesn't need more I think... perhaps you can send me a zipped template via mail

I'm thinking to update what I've allready done so you can experiment with it.


Havoc, thanks for the help but I think big bro boogie is allready doing it.

[Havoc]

Alright. If there is anything els you need help with just ask .

[Xavier]

bbb, I'd like to see what you have allready done.
I'm still waiting for Alcar to create my domain.
I'm still archiving things, lots of them

[Esus]

I could supply you with a nice clean template I made not long ago that should be easy to edit.

Thinking about it... the style is actually pretty similar to Oddblog's layout, so maybe you wouldn't want it. :/

It will contain most of the things you expect to find in the archives and perhaps even more. There are tons of things I want to include in it and all propositions are welcome.

What exactly will it include, content wise?
I have no idea what to expect... :s

[Xavier]

your visuals are often good, but I'm waiting for BBB to see what needs to be done or not

for the contents it will be the archives of Oddworld.com; interviews; features; desinger diaries, and other stuff

[Esus]

Ah right, of course! Oddworld.com.
I'm looking forward to it.

[big bro boogie]

WEE! I did it! At least... I did the err... the preview version of TOA.(the graphic- and contentless version)
Ehm, I've zipped it and that might have screwed the linking completely, but I don't think so. If so I'll try to work on that... If needed.

Those Brinkster Bastards don't allow remote linking. Those annoying Fags.
So you'll just have to put this text into your browser. (so don't click it)

If that doesn't work it's over. But it does work for me. So I think it'll work.

[Xavier]

pretty good, but the left bar shouldn't change cause there are way too much files to put them all in the bar.

you see I allready have 29 interviews and I still have to do the "stranger era"

but I like it very much


Can someone do some nice desings?

Thankies.
But,
"but the left bar shouldn't change cause there are way too much files to put them all in the bar."
Err... I don't actually get that. Shouldn't change?

[Xavier]

the left bar changes when you click on interviews... or anything else
it should stay the same all the time

I got the:

Interviews

Interview... 1
Back

in the left bar

[big bro boogie]

Oh, well, Oh! Now I get what you mean. Yeah, indeed, that'd be usefull.
So actually the center screen would be styled a bit Togg-like?
That'd look cool.

[Xavier]

I've send you a mail with a part of what I've allready done.

All I need for the release then is some nice graphics
