Big News!

 Image

I've made a lot of progress tonight with the blog here! What you are looking at is the new default layout! Why is that so great? Well, now my blog can support themes or layouts! I'm still working on the default layout (header image it has is just me having fun, bonus points if you know the character) but as you can see I've gotten a lot done!

I can't wait to get this version done and released. Since I've gotten so much done I figure I might as well put 0.4 (paragon) up for download once I'm done. I was planning on keeping this blog to myself until at least version 0.5, but I think I've pushed a lot of stuff into the next version (such as an install.php file) that would be a waste if I didn't release it!

I don't know how much longer it will be before I'm done with this version, but I'm hoping to have it done before I head back to school!

Hmm, now I'm wondering how easy will this be to upgrade? I didn't do too much DB work, and passwords haven't been touched (main reason for the fresh start last time)...
eh, we'll see. Not that much would be lost otherwise I guess...

I'm also wondering how important it is to have an option that allows for guest commenting. Currently I have that planned to include in 0.5 but if people really want it I could push it into the next version. I'll update that last post with the wishlist. Here it is.

I also updated the post about that tf2 map I was working on. I added a few more screens, so check that out!

Update (7/29): I just updated the blog to allow HTML to be posted in post bodies (not sure why I was stripping tags to begin with, admins won't abuse anything right?). This new way of doing it will now do nl2br when pages are created, the br's won't be stored in the DB anymore. What this mean for old posts is that they will have dual br's! All old posts will be double spaced out. I could probably make something that will search the old posts and take them out (shit I could just keep the strip_tags in the post edit, and just edit every post) but fuck that. I don't think it's a huge deal so I'm going to just let it go.

New version under way!

Still don't have a name for it but the next version is looking decent.

I just finished up the install file. Now getting this blog up and running will be easy as crap! You won't have to touch phpmyadmin to install anymore!
A side from that, nothing else huge to report on just yet. I did add a few more options to the BBC, an option to disable comments based on posts, hit counters, and a few other things.

I still need to fix a few problems, and still have a lot to add (check the previous post), but it's progress!

Update: Man time sure does fly when I'm doing this shit! Anyway progress is still going well. I've fixed just about all the problems with logging in (gave bad info? now you'll know you did!, no redirct? now you are!) so that's good. Added a few more options and whatnots as well. I can't wait to get this version (still needs name...) out! I'm already sick of using it here!

update: Finally have enough updates, fixes, and new features that I decided to give the next version a name! Version 0.4 "paragon"! I'm getting a lot done now, still going at a good pace. Hopefully 0.4 "paragon" will be live soon! I'm looking at some time early next month!

Update (7/20): Good news! Looks like I'll be able to get themes built into this next version! Might take a while to build a solid default layout but at least I'll be able to get it into the next version!

Oh god I'm doing it again!

I seriously need to post something or I might not be able to fall asleep...

I'm working on yet another TF2 map... FUCK

This one hasn't been in development nearly long enough, but I still feel the need to post something...

 Image
Shot of the blu spawn. I'm thinking about going for a multi stage map here but all i have started is the last stage!

 Image
Probably where the first point will be

 Image
Entrance to the final point, nothing past here started.


This map will never see the light of day. I am willing to bet on this!
I have no plan, no method of doing anything, nothing! The only way I've gotten this far is by acting on any random idea that pops into my head! Shit, I started this map weeks ago at like 5 AM just because I had an idea of how something should look.

It's almost a shame, I can see it being done sometimes as I'm flying around it...

updated screens:
