[quote="The 4th Class":54xng7vi]Tell you what, RambOrc, I'll mail him and ask how it's going. If it's taking too long, I recommend you Rambo[size=59:54xng7vi]TM[/size:54xng7vi] him good-old Kingdom of Fuck style and Firebrand put his coding commitments for KA aside and focus instead on Kmod. Crimson Wizard can then be the KA coder in the meantime, Firebrand the Kmod coder. Am I so evil or what? <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt=":twisted:" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: --> KMOD 3 is at the very bottom of our priority order, whereas KA is at the top. Releasing KMOD 3 is not worth even a single minute wasted by KA coders. Indeed the only reason we are releasing it at all is as to not to let the past work put in by Janis and Moose go to waste. But it's absolutely out of the question to waste present active resources on it. Also, I'd like to ask all developers once again NOT to discuss any internal stuff in the public forums. Thank you.

There is one plus side to me being sick this last 2 weeks, there isn't a great deal you can do in bed apart from sleep and think. And thinking may have solved one of my KMod3 bugs. I remembered that I've never been able to add particular things to wad files, so Rambo, I have a job for you. Could you add these 4 images to a wad file for me, you've always been able to do it for me before, and even Firebrand is having the same problem as I am with these.

Sorry, after all these years I have no idea how to do it any more. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

[quote="Moose":1a9usvxv]Could you add these 4 images to a wad file for me, you've always been able to do it for me before, and even Firebrand is having the same problem as I am with these. Can't you just import them through Wintex? <!-- s:idea: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_idea.gif" alt=":idea:" title="Idea" /><!-- s:idea: -->

Whenever I do it, they don't display correctly, not sure why. But in the past I've just gotten Rambo to do it for me, and whenever he does differently makes it work. So no, I can't just add them using wintex. Although 4th, your welcome to give it a go yourself, maybe you'll have more luck than me.

The problem with these images apparently has something to do with the format they have, I've tried inserting them with different tools, the images display well in the editors, but once I try to display them in the game, they just look like garbage or upside down. I was thinking that maybe the game expects a certain format for the help screens (or a certain file size, not sure), could it be possible that Janis could have an idea of this?

Then again my success depends on which resources the bitmaps replace. I mean, 320x200 is just the right aspect ratio for a full-screen image, but the picture is ALWAYS corrupted when I try to replace one of the F1 images. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

BTW <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.korax-heritage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19486#19486">http://www.korax-heritage.com/forum/vie ... 9486#19486</a><!-- m --> this is why I don't like if dev team members talk about internal issues in public.

I promise never to speak to a fan again. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: --> Anyway, regarding SolidSnake's dev history complaint, I would be more than happy to summarize the past 4 years in prose, I already came up with a brief timeline of events happening since then and it's buried somewhere in forum. If I find it again, I can write a small paper and FB can post it on the main page when it's done. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> Or an easier idea is to delete the Dev history pages altogether. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

Actually what the website would need is a rework, as there should be lots of info about KA, the SE and TSP sections should be removed etc.

Tell you what, I might be able to lay a blueprint for a revamped website, basically I can design a flowchart, or rather a family tree, of new HTML pages and how they'd link together on the website. Better yet, I could design these pages myself. Everybody else seems swamped with other commitments, so if everyone else approves of this idea, I'll give it a shot! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I think the site needs a revamp on the whole design, maybe we can just start adding new content with the ideas 4th Class is kindly providing here <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->, then after some more time, we can come up with a new design for the site, if you need some help with HTML or something else, once I'm a bit more free from development commitments I can give it a shot, once you have something complete, you can upload it to KDev and Janis, Ramborc or I can do the rest for publishing it on the website <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->.

Well I wanted to design the HTML <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> but you most likely have more experience with web designing than I do, so I will lay a blueprint first. Also, if somebody could specify which information on the site needs to be updated or deleted, that'd be appreciated. BTW Rambo did you compose Tyukodi or where did you get it?

I think Ramborc should know what needs to be changed, so you can discuss it with him, I frankly don't know where to start <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->.
