Thinking Particles and XPresso

Yeah, I know, explosions are pretty fucking lame.

Anyway, this one was just a quick experiment using the output from a sound effector to control the strength of the explosion.

Bans, what bans?

Who needs a ban option when you’ve got the Miserable Users mod for you forum?

When classed as miserable, a member suffers ;

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the “server busy” message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

I can’t wait to actually use it on someone.

Site Graphics

Just worked on a few new buttons and a header for my site. Spent ages cutting ouch each individual letter, as I don’t have the font file.

It looks a hell of a lot better now.

Music for solo project

Here’s the music I’m thinking of using for the solo project as part of the Experimental 3D module.

Changes to forum site

I thought it might be worth listing all the changes I’ve made to my site from the standard forum and wiki installs.

Forums:

  • Changed style from default blue to custom grey style.
  • Added new forms to user profiles, then edited postbit php template to show those new forms under users names when they post.
  • Removed navbar and made new one using horizontal list, editted stylesheet and header php template to include the new navbar.
  • Added some new icons, with more to come.
  • Changed image library from GD to Imagemagick.
  • Added custom BB code (Youtube integration)
  • Created custom VBA frontpage modules.

Wiki:

  • Enabled short URL’s hack by changing some php and .htaccess file.
  • Changed front page from “main page” to “love wiki” for the sake of SEO.
  • Disabled anonymous editing.

There are, of course, more changes to come.

More tracers

Apparently I like tracers. 16 hours to render this monster, how the hell does that work?

Another tracer experiment

This time, still playing with tracers, but just using the rotator to make things interesting.
