Now that my coursework is over, and I'm almost free from uni, I'll be getting my arse back in gear and getting on with doing stuff that needs doing.
So, being a logical and well-organised person ([insert photos of anarchic room]), I'm going to type out a list of the things that need doing, to help remember what they are and also to act as a checklist.
However, being a wonderful, yet sometimes forgetful, genius I came up with the idea of putting the list on here, so that if I forget to add anything then y'all can prompt me, and if I start slacking, I'll get poked with a thousand tiny fingers. Well... maybe ten, at most, but it'll feel like a thousand.
So, in a vague order of precedence, here we go:


1. HC FTP app - improve ui, redo directory functions, add file functions, check for bugs. (Target: ASAP.) Done. :alien:
2. The Royal Chestnut - continue the story (Target: Before 8th May.) Done. :cool:
3. Fate of Nations - finalise story/histories, complete website & forums, implement game mechanics, improve game interface, etc. (Target: ASAP.)
4. BPSITE - rewrite in XML so skins/styles can be used, port current design to skin/style, write a non-pitch black skin/style. (Target: 4th June.) (All Done). :ph34r:
5. Mindteam - fix bugs, prepare questions, restart. Some stuff done so far... on target for 30th July. (Target: Before 30th July, pref. by 1st July)
6. LAUNCHpad2 - finalise design, create application, update website. (Target: Undefined*)
7. The Dune Mod - textures, character models, item models, game levels, put it all together, etc. (Target: Undefined*)
8. EmoteWars - complete site, add content. (Target: Undefined*)
9. Ri'than Lian - make it more than just a text editor (ie: add the advanced search & replace functionality). (Target: Undefined*)
10. The Royal Library of Cairhien - fix layout problems, imrove CMS, add content. (Target: Undefined*)
11. ColdFusion Forum - re-plan features, database layout, interface, code backend, code frontend, add features, etc. (Target: Undefined*)

*Undefined targets are those which will be set once Fate of Nations is either complete, or close enough that I feel able to give an accurate predictions for the other projects.


Feel free to ask questions about those projects here, except for Fate of Nations, which has it's own thread (http://www.bpsite.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=1418), or The Dune Mod, which has it's own forums (http://www.bpsite.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=SF&f=7). Oh and LAUNCHpad has it's own forum too (http://www.bpsite.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=SF&f=35). Oh, crap, and The Royal Chestnut or Ri'than Lian questions can go in the RP forum (http://www.bpsite.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=SF&f=14). Blast it! Mindteam also has it's own forum (http://www.bpsite.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=SF&f=9). Oh well, that still leaves five things. Except don't ask about the CF forum; I don't know much about it yet. :P
Oh and to save you asking, because it's inevitable, HC FTP app is an FTP application for Hybridchill. Doesn't concern anyone here, other than being the reason for not immediately starting FoN.
So, three projects you can ask about, if you really want to. Unless I've forgotten anything - which is something else you can post here for.

Any questions?

what, you couldn't find any ftp clients that you liked out there? You hate every single one so much you got inspired to write one?  :blink:  

Nah, this isn't a real FTP client, it does magical extra stuff and emulates additional FTP accounts for other people.
(Namely Drek from the Marine Bot Team, who will be able to do stuff to the MB forums without going through me.)

building in your garden again?

:hehe:

I wish.

mmm i wish i had a garden that big

I don't even have a garden here. At home the back garden is about six-by-eight metres, I'd guess.

mnes not much off that, it got seriously shortened 2 years ago when we extendeed our house too

Much better now..... :)

you want SS to "do" you  :blink:  

:blink:  :unsure:  :paranoid:  :o  

*shoves ripper back in the closet*

i thought i told you to stay there! :hmmm:

*dump tackles imagination* no!

Il do SS after Ive finished with Mole......  :hehe:  

i hope thats a nice kinda finished  :paranoid:  

*hides from ripper so he isn't next* :paranoid:

Woo! Two projects involving me, though to whatever degree, are on there! Aha.

4 with me i count, screw building the library that will take decades

Yay, completed an item from the list!

Not the first item though... the ftp thing is being annoying, but hopefully I'll get it done soon, and then I'll give FoN a big kick up the arse.

But anyhow, anyone involved with the RP, get your bum down to TRC. :P

Oh and if anyone would like to join, it isn't too late - read the first post (http://www.bpsite.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=14&t=1566) and PM me.

:)

pop some pics to me and id be happy to devote some time to modeling for you

how is the progression on FoN?

Currently it's at the stage of "I'll kick everyone up the arse, soon."
Soon was supposed to be at the weekend, but I think it'll end up as tomorrow now.
Although I think progression with it is down to me, at the moment... I'll have to check.

Whenever you actually get a running alpha/beta/thingey up, you'll tell me, right?  :)  

Sure. This forum will probably be where the beta players come from. :P

With a little bit of luck I'll have some FoN work for you to do soon.

*looks at code; cringes*
Okay, more than just a little bit of luck.
(possibly going to have to re-write alot of the FoN stuff I'd done)
Why oh why did I have to choose such a convoluted coding method. :(

Because it's just your nature.  :P  

Twaaaaat. :P

Blah, I've already practically fixed it (wasn't as bad as I originally thought; not much re-writing needed) and am getting on with the important stuff.

ps: *points mole (& everyone else working on FoN) to the appropriate forum*

seriously can you find SOMTHING that needs modeling? i have ahankering and i have quite a wile to satisfy it. i may just go find some random dune things and see how theh turn out but even if the project isnt getting started up asap id still like to get somthing done.

Ok, well make a sandworm then? Or a gob-jabar?

gom-jabbar, surely ?

i found this cheesy dune pistol in my models folder (probably a film one) so ive begun that finish it tomorow then ill find out what in the name of wallpaper one of those /\ is

Yup. My brain was (still is) a bit screwed.

is that the poisened ring?

EDIT

ok the thimble like piece i see

well i did the gun and 3 minutes of the thing and that about finished them both, juts moddeling texturing will put my stress levels over.

:notify:

I wanna see a gom-jabbar!!!

i did a simple sand worm too, managed to accidently make cool appature teeth that rotate and seal up the mouth. has 96 teeth or somthing and i can change how they look for you

*Makes addition at top of SS' list*

[li] Finish WoT RP character and post.

EmoteWars? sounds fun.....  :)  

It will be. :)

Don't expect it soon though - I wont be releasing it until I've got plenty of emotes done, and I wont even be starting on them until I've got several other things done first.

-

Argh, I've got him done, I just need a good name. :(

Its obvious you still didnt have one, but at least you posted :P.

Yeah; I figured I can always change it later, if I can think of something better before we start, so I might as well just post it.

I wanna see some more new emotes!  :P  

See item eight on the list? :P

Im still waiting. :(
