So I finally finished the framework for the downloads section. It's very similar to the news posts in that you can comment on individual download files. This is useful for if you have questions, or you see someone else have a question that you know the answer to. :D
I'm adding some finishing touches to the new download system, including comments for individual downloads so people can discuss issues about each download. I'm hoping to be completed by Monday because I'll be going on a two week business trip then, so if it isn't done by then, the downloads section has to wait an extra two weeks to be updated. D:
I haven't forgotten about this website, I promise. I have just had a lot going on in my life. Lot's of stress at work, computer problems at home, generic "life" stuff. This website is only a hobby project that I use to apply what I learn in my spare time. I'll think, "I wonder how to do this" then I'll research whatever "this" is, design, and impliment it on the site. Making it based off of something instead of just using generic "hello world" snippets makes it easer to keep it fresh with legit content.
That being said, I currently have leven generators in development. They used to be in the form of an excel spreadsheet, but I'm trying to convert them over to PHP as I'll have much more flexibility in what can be done, albeit with some limitations. So don't worry, I still haven't forgotten about this site.
The website has officially migrated to it's new home at GoDaddy. Just Host wasn't doing it for me and I already had a VPS so I said fuckit, let's move the Homeworld site to the server.
Anyway, everything should be as it was except for the downloads section. I took down all the generic downloads so I can organize them in a fashion that's easier for me to keep track of, and easier on your eyes. I also uploaded a shit ton of multiplayer maps, although I haven't uploaded any for Homeworld 2 as of yet.
But yeah, those are the major changes since the last update/server migration so enjoy!

Just giving everyone a heads up: updates are going to be on hold until I get the site up and running on the new server. I got the LightBox issue fixed, and a few other things added, but I'm not going to upload them on the old server when Just Host is going to delete the files in 4 days. I'll let you know when the new site is up! :D

Well, I rarely use my Internet Explorer, but when I do, it puts me into automatic rage mode. Today, I loaded up my website (backgrounds download page) to make sure my spacing was correct for displaying the thumbnails of the backgrounds. Everything was all fine and dandy until I went to click on one of the thumbnails to see a bigger picture. The Lightbox failed. I'm assuming this is also the case for the currently installed Lightbox for the tutorial pages, so I have no idea how long this has been going on. So, currently on the todo list:
Oops...
Well, it's that time in the life of a website where a decision must be made. And since I get regular traffic to this website, I'm going to continue it's life. However, I am not too fond of justhost's plans, and I want to transfer the domain name to godaddy. So, if the site goes down, it's in the process of being transferred.
