Reordering the Akella Games Forums?

[Pieter Boelen]

On all the Akella Games forums (Pirates of the Caribbean, Age of Pirates, City of Abandoned Ships),
things are quite confusing and many threads are not posted where they should be.
How about we reorder the forums to something that makes a bit more sense?
Here's a suggestion of mine:


PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
- Unmodified Game [Gameplay and tips]
- Build 12.1 and prior [Downloads, gameplay and tips]
- Build 13 [Downloads, gameplay and tips, development of update]
- Build 14 [Downloads, development and testing]
- Sea Legend is Back [Downloads, translation effort developments, gameplay and tips]


AGE OF PIRATES
- Unmodified game [Gameplay and tips]
- SuperMod [Downloads, gameplay and tips]
- Secrets of Far Seas [Downloads, translation effort developments, gameplay and tips]



CITY OF ABANDONED SHIPS
- Unmodified game [Gameplay and tips]
- Modding [Downloads and development]



GENERAL MODDING
[A lot of the ship/character/location modeling is not strictly limited to either of these games, so could be grouped together for all games at once]
- Ship modeling
- Character modeling
- Location modeling
- Modders-only forum

I like the way you want to reorder the Game section, although I am not exactly sure about the Modelling section, I think it would be a bit too much if you devide that in those different sections too.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

We could make it a general modeling section. Indeed dividing too much doesn't help either.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

What about some input from our regular members and modders?

Yeah about time re-arrangeing the forum sections.. It HAS become a confusion mainly because some CoAS topics/threads are there where they shouldn't be and then there are other threads in wrong place. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> what a drivel. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Indeed. So if people agree with my proposal,
I'll have things reordered and then people can post here links of threads that should be moved to a different forum.
I'm fed up with everything being messy. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

And while we're at it, we ought to clean up the one million stickies at the top of all the forums!
However, I would very much be able to use some help with all this, because I can't do everything myself. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

 

[Old Salt]

That is a good idea, Pieter. The forum definitely needs to be put into some semblance of order. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

I really like the way you want to reorder the fora, especially the general modding section, maybe take this idea one step further?


Akella Games Mods

POTC - Build Mod 12&13, Sea Legend is Back

AoP - Super Mod, Secrets of Far Seas

CoAS - ?


GENERAL MOD Development

- Build Mod Alphas
- Modeling (Ships/Characters/Locations)
- Textures

- Modders-only forum

 

[Pieter Boelen]

The Build mod is PotC-specific though.
