Ok guys! I set up this message board so we can talk about our new site. I was thinking that instead of making just games, I thought a couple of walkthrus and other stuff would be cool. Stuff like sprites, animations, a few comics, etc. I think we should actually work on the game thing as a group. BTW, I need the password for the site e-mailed to me, Yoshi6. You need to send it to everyone in Gamer's Haven Inc. I know a lot of HTML, so I'll be able to program most of the website for everyone (including a secret message board). Anyway, lets get started on our first thing. We should start by making everything with the website, then adding the files. Ok! Let's get started!
If I had a dime for every time someone called me forgetful, I''d... um... What were we talking about again?

I'm not very good with HTML, but I have TONS of images--sprites, renders, screenshots, you name it--that I can provide.
Here's Mario so far on our game...
Lemme see if this works...
Ack! It's broken.

Although I hope you'll read it eventually...
Any stuff I have, like images, etc., I'll email to you (or any other HTML expert working on our site), so you can put it up. Once Yoshi6 gives us the password, of course.

BTW, I read a funny article not to long ago. I live in Florida, and a little while ago we were electing somebody something. That somebody's name was Jeb Bush. Anyway, this lady who was from some other country came to Florida. To help the election along, we put up signs that said: "Jeb!" We'll, in this lady's language, Jeb meant the f-word... She was pretty insulted.

I also forgot to ask, Why exactly does everyone need to know the password? From what I understand, only those who will be editing and creating the Webpage need it, no? It would seem irrational to hand out the said password to "everyone," even everyone in the 'crew'.

Should it be "Gamer's Haven"--singular gamer
or "Gamers' Haven"--plural gamers?
We want this to be grammatically correct, right? That's why I'm asking. ;)

How does "Gamer's Haven" look cooler? They seem the same to me, just one with incorrect grammar. No offense, but is incorrect grammar uncool? Perhaps, but it makes you seem more intelligent. Seriously, I'm not referring to anyone in particlular, so please don't take offense to this. :)

If you use, Kazaa, you can find Photoshop 8 and Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 for sure. I wouldn't doubt you could find the others either. Just be sure to check for viruses and to get a crack/serial number if they aren't included.
Feh, it all depends on if you're against downloading such utilities.
Also, Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 is a great compiler.

Okay, votes, people! Gamer's Haven--gamer singular (and incorrect grammar) or Gamers' Haven--gamers plural (and correct)?
Gamer's: 2 (Mario Master and jon)
Gamers': 2 (Black Mage--I think--and me)

Or, if all you want is some background music: 'insert' > 'basic' > 'background music.
In both cases you will have to upload the sound files first. Or, use them off of another site, but most people don't like you stealing their bandwidth.

Heyyyy.....now that I just noticed it, this topic thingy here says "Gamer's Haven Inc."! That means that it's the apostrophe before the s! Oh, and both ways are grammatically correct: the way you say it is correct because it means more then one person and the way I say it is for one person.
Oh, and Luigison, the Geocities program it gives me doesn't allow me to upload ANY music! Only certain pictures/gifs and text documents. Maybe that's the way a free site goes...

It's ALWAYS best to name titles *AFTER* the whole thing--be it story, game, song, etc--is completed. Otherwise, you'll be restricted to the limitations of it fitting to the title. --and if not, the title would tend to not fit the key point of the work.

--Yes, but the "Club 86'" thread title is incorrect, too. That doesn't make it correct. We all know it's really "Club '86," but there's nothing we can do to fix the title of the thread.

lol. Actually, I think I *would* make a good editor, if I were interested in that area.
Heheheh...a couple weeks ago my dad even had me proof-read his résumé...just because it never hurts to have another person's eyes to catch any mistakes. He usually proof-reads my writing assignments for school.
Anyway, luckily I shall have my chance to put my editing skills (:D), artistic, organizing layout, and photographic skills to use--Yearbook, baby!! Yeah!! Woohoo!! (Besides, I'm ALWAYS disappointed with SOMETHING in the yearbooks each year, so now's my chance to do something about it!! Yay!! ;) )

Microsoft, the evil entity that they are, are always pushing their campaign to remove compatability with old, ineffecient, or non-Microsoft devices, programs, and file types; their hope is to crush everything non-Microsoft with their market prowess.
Anyway, so far in this campaign, newer Microsoft products no longer support 8-bit color, resolutions below 640x480, most DOS-based programs, all Netscape-based plugins, and, for some reason, bitmaps.
Suffice to say: if you want maximum viewability of your site, I'd suggest you use a file format other than bitmaps.

I can only convert stuff to PGN format, until I get Paint Shop Pro. When the site's up again, can you convert my comic--ep. 2 into Gif format for me? With PGN it takes up 56 KB--vs. 14 KB in gif form.
Marionut's comics, which are about 350 KB each, will be GREATLY reduced, probably like to 7 KB.

If you still need help with conversion, let me know.
If you've gotten it taken care of Mario Master, that's fine too. I don't want to seem out of line by just doing it, now that it seems MarioMaster can.
So, uhm, let me know if you need any help.

Besides, your site has nothing in it anyways-at least not as much as mine(I should be the one watching out).
Besides, I'm just mad because there's four of you people doing this and you hardly update anything!!! I sent in some stuff UNDER 30kb + asking you to link to my site and nothing! Are you guys taking a vacation or something?
Sorry for the rude comments, but your site is beginning to look like all those other junky Geocities sites out there.

But seriously, Mario Master, we need to make a navigation bar--preferably on the left-hand side. Definitely NOT frames; I hate frames. A Nav bar like TMK's and most other good websites.
A few pages back, I made a list of the stuff we can put in the nav bar. Our current layout seems inefficient and unprofessional.
Oh, and another thing, can we PLEASE take the music off all the pages? I like the music and all a LOT, but I absolutely HATE websites that play music--and then you have to turn it off. Seriously, why don't we set up a midi page, where people can listen to it there? Honestly, music playing in the background on any website seems unprofessional and is frankly a turn off.
I would do all this stuff myself, but I don't know how.
Oh, jon, yes, we have more people working on it, but with one person making a site, you can go a LOT faster 'cuz you don't have to consult the others and talk about it--you can just do what you want, when you want.

I'm glad someone said something. I didn't want to be the one to suggest that. But yes, the midis playing on every page is quite annoying, and even more unprofessional. But, seeing as it isn't my site, and my opinion wasn't asked, I figured it best not to say anything.
Having a Solid layout is the key to having a great website. While I generally agree, frames are a bad move, Sapphira’s suggestion is well worth looking into.
However, I do like the sort of "Friendly" look the site has currently. Sure, it does look a bit amateurish, but until you guys can get a solid layout, it will hold the fort. :)
Boy, after re-reading that, it sounds kinda self-righteous. Actually, I must sound that a lot. I digress, I don't mean it in such a manner.

Frames work well, in theory. However, they often are quite disrupting to the design and are an eye-sore. That's not to say they can't be well done, no sir, but more often then not, they're not so good to look at.
With the Navigation on a side, or where ever it is decided to be, it can easily look in place with the rest of the layout. Also, it's true, if your site does become large enough, you may have a lot of room on your hands. However, that's where a good layout comes into play. If you're ready for that, it's no hassle. It just takes some fancy Image mapping.

Anyways, Pagebuilder sucks for 2 things-you cant overlap stuff and it slows your computer like there's no tomorrow. Otherwise, it's GREAT for non-HTML people! Oh, and a bar on the left is better than what you were doing....
Plus, you should put in more sections in your site. The big deal 'bout your site is the fan stuff and that's it!
"Grrr, we have to add in jons! So frustrating!"
What's the matter? My site's cool! It's probably the best Geocities Mario site out there! I put in a new format on some parts. Check out the site-it might help you guys!

Oh, and another thing-you know that menu thing that Sapphira wants to make-well, how do you get it on everypage? I don't know how to make it on every page!
Oh, and working with 4 people is hard-that's why I chose only one person! ME!

To get a nav bar up on every page, simply copy-paste the HTML information into your other pages.
I *WANT* to put in more sections. See page 7 of this thread.

However, the color isn't all of it. A solid design is needed, I believe. Right now, it's just a little bar, out of nowhere. What you need is to base the whole layout on that bar. Such as, making it go to the bottom of the page.
As things currently stand, that last suggestion would make things look worse. Mainly because it's a long way down. You don't necessarily need to make the bar itself go all of the way down, but it may be better to not have the "News/Updates" go under it if, if you know what I mean.
Scrolling down to get to some of the sections isn't a bad thing, per say, but if you're going to do that, it's best to have an organized look. Another suggestion, may be to not keep every single update right on the main page. Make a limit, and then have the newer ones push the elder ones off of the page. You can easily create another section to keep track of past updates. In this way, it will make your design seem neater, and will allow your layout some room for your navigation bar, and such.
You're on the right track, but you just need to iron a few things out. ;)
Also, please note, when I say "you" and so on, I'm addressing the whole staff, and not a single person.

I'll try to get up a page entitled "updates archive" or something to that effect. We should probably leave it in intervals of 10 or 15 (right now it's 12), and then separate each section of the archive by month.
I'm trying to fix the nav bar--I realize it suddenly just stops, when I'd like it to go down to the whole page, no matter how long it gets. As I said, I'm new to HTML, so please bear with me.

Oh, and I changed the teal color to a better color. I kinda like the look of mine better than yours, no offense. Can you edit yours to look like mine--in the better format so it goes down the rest of the page? I can do it for you, if you'd like.

No.
"Oh, and I saw earlier that you wante to use a Flash Navigation thingy-dont, they might be good looking for your site, but frames is better."
Flash's main problem is its loading time. While I'm unsure if you were addressing me, as I never said anything about flash, I'm much more on the side of a Frame-less Navagation bar. Their current one looked nice.
"Hey, does anyone have and ROMs? I need some. But they have to be MARIO ONLY! Computer games is what the jon needs ^_^."
Uhm, someone posted a site that had Mario Computer games. Not the Console ones, but like Mario Teaches Typing and such. Let me dig it up.

Here's my opinion about Gamer's Haven logo MY OPINION!!!!! I like it except for one thing........PEACH! I hate Peach! Ever since Mario Kart 64, I've hated her and DK!
They always were the hardest(and most cheatingest characters in the game)! I hated Peach for saying "Thank You" after passing me up (dang her) and i hate DK for being a monkey in a kart.
I know that that doesn't deal with Gamer's Haven, but whenever I see Peach, grrrrr!

ROMS are illegal in any scenario. It matters not. The old saying was "As long as you delete them after 24 hours," and another was "You can keep them only if you have the original cart." However, that's not true.
They're illegal no matter what. However, it's a rarely enforced law, and many pay no mind to it.
Post by: Sapphira on June 25, 2003, 07:48:43 PM
I just used the 4 most popular/famous Mario characters (in and out of the Mario universe). Besides, it needs a girl in it--makes it more diverse (besides, I'm a blonde-haired, blue-eyed chick whom has been given the title "princess", too. :P
And I stuck with Mario characters. She's the most popular. Besides, she's my second favorite Nintendo character (first being Yoshi). How could I leave her out? ;P

I may not be part of the site, but I'm still interested in the game. But, offering support to the site's construction is all we can do at this time.
When the site is finished, which I would assume to be reasonably soon, we can start talks of the game, again. However, processing both tasks simultaneously may prove to be an unwise move, where both tasks may be done half-heartedly, in an attempt to finish soon.
And so I believe it best to wait, however, my words carry very little authority, and so can easily hold false information. To get a concrete answer, one must wait for Mario Master to respond.

Hey jon, on an unrelated note, have you ever taken a personality test? There's a good one at thespark.com. I'd be anxious to know what you are. I'd guess you to be a DICF (Dominant Introverted Concrete Feeler). Sorry, I'm anaylitical; I guess it's part of being a Thinker vs. feeler.
Oh yeah, and I'm almost ready to put up my Mario Personality test. ;P
Let's see...I've just said I'm a D__T. Can you figure out the rest? Intoverted or Extroverted; Concrete or Abstract? ...Is this confusing? It was to me at first.

Thanks for converting our logo, but the image is distorted. Unless you have the right software, the image will turn out distorted like that, as I said.
--------
"Ok, I dont know what DICF whatever means(or the words they stand for), but I know how I am."
--I already told you: DICF (Dominant Introverted Concrete Feeler). It's an acronym--look at the first letters of those words.
"My nickname at school (around my friends) is Clown.....but I think I'm sort of like you."
--No. I'm not a clown. I can act silly and be funny sometimes, but I'm generally pretty quiet unless I feel comfortable. And even then I'm still more reserved. (That's what introverted means--more reserved, quiet, shy, to yourself, etc.) Okay, I'm an experimenter (DIAT--Dominant Introverted Abstact Thinker.)
You may be an artist (DIAF) or a dreamer (SIAF). But for some reason you stike me to be a prober (DICF). I'll explain all this junk when I get my Mario Personality test up. ;)
Oh and I asked you 'cuz this stuff is fascinating to me how it all fits together. (I've discovered an interesting pattern...)

--You'll see that also. The pattern is which personalities clash most w/ each other and which ones get along best w/ each other. It's not obvious, but I've been researching this for a while and discovered the pattern.
I have a Dell. Do *YOU* have Paint Shop Pro? It's different from the normal Paint program. Normal Paint won't let you convert images. If you do have PS Pro, I might be able to help you.

Anyways, maybe if you go to dell.com, search around for their downloads/updates and you might be able to get another demo.
Guess what, even though I only have the trial version of it, I still have it on my pc! It has just about everything the original has! I can draw on it with all the tools, I can turn images in to any format....I just don't like it. I know I'm crazy, but that's because I have another program I'm drawing on.....Flash 5. You see, my main concern is not just making one picture, I need to make multiple images so I can make a Flash movie....the program's too confusing though! Waaaa!
Hey, how do you draw? With the mouse? I do and my mouse is screwed up! I'm waiting for Windows to come out with the latest drawing tablet.
Oh, and I have a DELL too.

Post by: Sapphira on June 27, 2003, 02:26:57 PM
--Yes.
I can't draw freehandedly on the comp--it insults my artistic talent. But I draw all the time on paper. I wish I had a scanner so I could show off some of my artwork. I have a whole binder full of Nintendo drawings.
If this tells you anything about my art skills, I made the cover of my school's art calendar this year (and last year I got *in* it.--all my years of going to that school) and every one of my artworks I've submitted to the *state* fair in *California* (I used to live there) has won first place. ^_^
...I'm bragging. Sorry... ;)

I, too, have a billion pictures. I even make pictures that are 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide-sort of like posters. I love to draw hige pictures on paper!!! My favorite one is of Mario hovering or something like that with an awesome background!!! I cant even see my walls-there's so many posters^_^. I'm bragging too.
Someday, I want to work for someone like Pixar or Disney. I want to make animations/cartoons when I'm older.

There's really nothing to be sorry for, if you're a bit depressed. It's not something that you can help, really, nor something you should seek forgiveness for.
But, maybe it's because Mario Nut is gone. ;)
Post by: jon on June 27, 2003, 07:27:06 PM
There was only one thing, though. I think it would be best if you can bold the letters. It might be a little hard to see the letters from all other sites out there with busy scenery, you know. But I love it ^_^.
I'm feeling sort of depressed too.....I hardly know how to do it!!!! Flash is very hard to learn, but somday, I'll master it and that's probably when Mariotendo will be www.mariotendo.com instead of geocities.com/mariotendo. (Geocities allows you to use MP3s and Flash when it's www.your-domain.com.
So, that's what I want to do....but it takes time.....and I only have 28 days left before it ends! Soon I'll be feeling like Sapphira and Paint Shop Pro....Waaaaa!

Oh, did you know that with your Kong Wars comic, it's hard to see the letters without pusing that arrow button that makes it bigger. You should probably make the text bigger or tell people to makeit bigger.

It looked better then what I could do! But that was pretty funny^_^

Sorry the text isn't bigger, but it's hard fitting a whole bunch of words into one frame. The words appear fine to me on my comp at 800x600 pixels. Oh well. Anyway, I'm glad you like it. :)
As for the links... Do what Black Mage said on the previous page. What I did was click on the link, highlight the URL and copy-paste it back in, then click enter. It should work then.

I went through it once, and a couple of sections twice, before, and that gave me a basic understanding of how it works. If you take the time to go through it, I'm sure you'd have a better understanding of the program itself.
Also, if you need more, I do believe there are tutorials online, which could easily be found with a little searching.

However, I went out and found this for you:
Lesson II: Section 3
That whole lesson may be of help to you, but I think that particular section may have what information you need.
It's concerning Placing the Button in between frames, to allow the button to move on the the next frame, istead of only displaying your button.
If you can figure that out, putting a button at the start of your movie is just a matter of relocating the frame.

I haven't actually divided the chapters up yet, except for the ones I've already posted, so I don't know exactly.
It's a four part story, each being around the same length... Part 1 was 12 chapters long... So I'm gonna say somewhere around 48 chapters. Told ya it was a lot. XD

Plus, I dont think I want to even continue with finishing up my story.
I only wrote it when I was in school and was really bored.
I really want to make Flash cartoons of Nintendo characters and put them on Mariotendo(so I can get it popular).
Besides, even though Im a good writer, I dont like writing(gives me writers cramp) and I'd rather make movies anyways. That's me.

I have about 41 panels of a Mario comic. Check 'em out, and see if you want them on your site... BTW.. I can put 10 of them as one page, if thats needed.
Rest assured. There is no signature. There never has been, and never will be.

And the story's revisions are now 0.1% complete! I copy-pasted it into Word and fixed a single typo in CH 2. Yay!
And as for me, since I have no real artistic talent, and my writing style is hampered too much in my mind by my overly-logical mind (less sense of fictional ... things - and thus less mystique) - so I'll strive to be the next Carl Fredrick Gauss. (sic?)
I'll let you do a bit of research as to what he did.
If you have any questions on any Mario game for the GameCube, any at all, please keep them AS FAR AWAY from me as possible. I don`t want to look like a total idiot in front of the whole forum. Thanks in advance.

Re: Fan Fiction (Yet again)
I'm sorry I haven't revised it in like... 2 months (Bah) - too much other stuff. I might have it sometime soon though, if you care anymore. Although I lost that Word document, so that .1% revision is not there anymore.
Although when I get to it, I'll probably be adding a couple of things in there somewhere.

Seems like I've been the only one working on it lately. *Sigh* Oh well... I'm still trying to get everything all in place...

Re: Re: Fan Fiction
Being that I haven't gotten ANY further on MY story, I have no means to give you flack. As I said, just send it in when you can, in your own time, however long it may take. I'm patient. ;)
