Xtreme-Jumps V3

By faker mapper·
Hey guys,

it's really hard to find the right words for this newspost, I must imagine it's the same situation the developers of Duke Nukem Forever were facing, when they actually (and finally!) released their baby after having more than half of the community think it would never happen.

First of all I want to thank everyone involved in making this happen, especially oO3ddYOo, m0ver, stuff_x, ndR, TinTin, sn00p and last but not least niki who did some awesome last minute changes to make the launch happen in early 2012 (and of course everyone else who ever laid hand on the new design and helped us)!

Furthermore I want to thank every single donator out there for your contribution! Without you, this would have been impossible!



Those of you who are following our community and the Kreedz scene on a regular basis might know it has been quite a while since this design was initially planned, finished and then finally made it on our website in today's shape. That is why I want to use this chance to thank everyone one out there for your patience.

Hand in hand with the new design, there are some other improvements on the site. You will most likely discover them whilst browsing the menus and the site, however I want to mention a few of them:

New site features:
- Updated demos.php script with a lot of additional information about the players and the maps
- Demo history with wayback feature
- New forum icons and new structure to come (forums will be reduced and simplified, to make posting and administrating easier - hopefully resulting in less spam)
- Two new subheader menus with dynamic content.
Note: We know it might take a few days to adjust to it, but they offer a great usability once you got used to them and they are implemented in their final design. Regarding that, we are welcoming every kind of feedback regarding these three meus, because the content is adjustable and will be changed according to what you guys would like to see in there. Feel free to drop your suggestions in the comments!

Furthermore we're trying to get the other XJ projects and the general activity on XJ back on track (releasing the design was our top priority for the last months). There will be a discrete recruitment news within the next days.

For the nostalgic guys amongst us:

Xtreme-Jumps v1 (Thanks to omilo!)
Xtreme-Jumps v2
Xtreme-Jumps v3 Draft 1
Xtreme-Jumps v3 Draft 2
Xtreme-Jumps v3

finally... gj to all who were involved. ITS OVER 9000! :D

02/01/2012 18:56:00

Current ideas for the [url=http://h9.abload.de/img/xj1pvy9q.jpg]subheader menus[/url] are: [b]Menu 1:[/b] - Empty - Link to important content (for now it's the tutorial) - Search box - Google ad (if it's posisble to make this menu a bit bigger and "stretch" it a bit) - Other content? (please elaborate) [b]Menu 2:[/b] - Headlines aka 5 most recent newsposts (as it is in the moment) - 5 Newsposts with most comments (will be like that for a long time, not dynamic) - 5 Newsposts with the most comments that are max. 3 months in the past - Other content? (please elaborate) [b]Menu 3:[/b] - 5 Threads with most replies (will be like that for a long time, not dynamic) - 5 Threads with most replies that are max. 3 months old - Cusom script to highlight important threads/arcticles/newsposts (needs administration and we need to manually add the links and titles) - Other content?

AWESOME.

02/01/2012 20:29:00

I see what u did there... Nice new desing :) GJ

02/01/2012 20:31:00

- God job for this ! ;)

02/01/2012 20:33:00

Awesome, saw this design on deviantart a couple of weeks ago. :D

02/01/2012 20:34:00

Awesome

02/01/2012 20:34:00

good job :)

02/01/2012 20:35:00

Cool change for 2012 ! A little thing that directly came to my mind and that will probably be agreed by a lot of people is the online users list... it is a finger sport to eventually reach the chatbox, which is probably more popular than the online users tool. The ammount of users online at the moment is kind of average, so if it is always like that it will get annoying in the end.

02/01/2012 20:37:00

GJ, let the fun begin!

02/01/2012 20:39:00

[size=20][color=#ff0000][b]INCREDIBLE JOB![/b][/color][/size] Congratulations to all involved, really! This will take the XJ activity to a new level indeed! I bet that! Really fitting design, a lot better than the previous one. :) Just beautiful!

02/01/2012 20:46:00

+1 koukouz.. that was the first thing i noticed actually, had to scroll to see the chatbox..

02/01/2012 20:48:00

great job guys. nice to see some more changes than the "beta" already had... =D koukouz is right, also dont wanna see my nickname in capital letters... ;D

02/01/2012 20:48:00

as memories said, i hope the cups will be back asap^^

02/01/2012 20:52:00

awesomenessss <3 happy 2012!

02/01/2012 21:03:00

Great job everyone involved! Look so nice now <3

02/01/2012 21:05:00

amazing really amazing! I can find everything what i want and what happed before 2 years !! amazing job guys congrat!

02/01/2012 21:07:00

Put the 'comments(*xxx)' in both, top and bottom column, imo. Used to it (I know I'd get used to this too) but it seems much more useful when its there after you've scrolled down and read the newspost. I like this new look, perfect timing too. ndR +1 :D

02/01/2012 21:09:00

Congratz ! :)

02/01/2012 21:09:00

Great job XJ ! The new look is AWESOME !:D

02/01/2012 21:10:00

Great to see the new design finally up! GJ to everyone involved, and I have to agree with some of you guys about the online/chatbox placing. Was better with online on top of chatbox imo. Other then that I love the way the menus and and features are layed out. Found a pretty old pic of XJ in a folder: http://tinnet.net/imghost/files/ooold_XJ.jpg :P

02/01/2012 21:14:00

Holy shit omilo that's oldschool. Really nice design, I can't really find anything bad with it.

02/01/2012 21:17:00

Oh a question I had - is there ever going to be an automated thing to give out the icons/remove them (like when you get a WR/have none)

02/01/2012 21:21:00

Love the new header!

02/01/2012 21:35:00

Yeah that's on the list of improvments to come pizza (for movie makers and mappers as well).

02/01/2012 21:42:00

Just amazing work people lol I'm in shock. Perfect work all seems really fresh and natural I love it. Congratulations for all coders. Now I can to say Xtreme-Jumps is a life :D

02/01/2012 21:50:00

Even though I am member of this community for about six years, I haven't mentioned any signs about making new design before (meaning years before). Doesn't matter, the design is looking great, really that old template was simply too old for a modern website. Great job everyone involved!

02/01/2012 22:33:00

kz history, best thing ever. Thx all esp m0ver !

02/01/2012 22:34:00

Wow great guys! One thing that came to my mind was that instead of putting most active threads in the forum highlighter, put "most recent ones etc" ?

02/01/2012 23:26:00

Forums looks like kz serbia forum :) it is obvious that niki did something nice!

03/01/2012 00:09:00

Mistake in my comment. Noticed instead of mentioned.

03/01/2012 00:41:00

very nice job!

03/01/2012 00:54:00

OMFG, Its aweasome!!!!

03/01/2012 01:07:00

Great New Vision Great Job to everyone involved :)

03/01/2012 01:08:00

Good job everybody involved

03/01/2012 01:44:00

aweesome !

03/01/2012 04:26:00

good job! but this UI looked on NDR movie :)

03/01/2012 04:28:00

Lovely! So glad to this! Fantastic work, everyone... Didn't look through everything yet, but the "beaten" and "date" columns in the demo list are especially nice :D I was like "ah yeah, that map hasn't been beaten for ages, i forgot it even existed" Happy New Year, XJ!

03/01/2012 05:35:00

Oh very good

03/01/2012 05:52:00

OMG! really convenience :O nice design !

03/01/2012 06:59:00

good design ;)

03/01/2012 07:59:00

Splendid work coders..and that's how we evolved :) been waiting for it since the last year. Great interface, demo information and history are cool, forums look easy reachable, some spots/spaces could might have been better used, but whatever, its finally here ;]

03/01/2012 08:49:00

Yay! Great job! http://xtreme-jumps.eu/img/xj_v3_draft2.jpg -> flags in here look way better, use them.

03/01/2012 09:59:00

just wow :)

03/01/2012 10:23:00

beatiful design! amazing job guys

03/01/2012 10:57:00

03/01/2012 11:16:00

03/01/2012 16:49:00

SIIICKK!! Great job, looks pretty damn good! XJ FTW!! :D

03/01/2012 19:04:00

finaly, good job

04/01/2012 15:24:00

Looks nice, but a little bit laggy.

04/01/2012 16:05:00

wow

04/01/2012 16:18:00

I'm really amazed that these news haven't got more comments than a reagular demo release ^^

04/01/2012 18:12:00

Maybe at this point you see now, what are the really importent things.... Cups, PUB-Servers, Tournaments, maps etc... Normally i am not friend from such offensive posts, but it´s a fact. Anyway, gj for coding.

04/01/2012 19:47:00

When I entered, I was just "Wow, where did I go?". Pure epicness.

04/01/2012 22:30:00

new designe rocks!

05/01/2012 02:53:00

XJ 2 was better

05/01/2012 10:40:00

Looks awesome, though v2 was slightly more professional >_> Only thing I can see is the text alignment in the drop down menu's along the header should be centered - because I'm picky like that <_<

05/01/2012 18:19:00

nice design! :D

05/01/2012 20:44:00

try to get your hands on the plugin structure of e107 with the commentary code and add them to your new custom pages like: http://xtreme-jumps.eu/demos_history/map_info.php?map= or http://xtreme-jumps.eu/demos_history/player.php?name= To have a nice talk about a jumper or a maprecord in diff

06/01/2012 05:47:00

The colors are brilliant! GJ XJ staff!

06/01/2012 14:17:00

[URL=http://www.directupload.net][IMG]http://s14.directupload.net/images/120106/cxy99t6s.jpg[/IMG][/URL] imo that doesnt really fit. Looks ugly.

06/01/2012 14:37:00

We tried it with some orange there, didn't look good either (worse imo)

10/01/2012 00:42:00

looks pretty nice, gj to everyone ivolved

24/01/2012 09:26:00

The old design was much simpler and better. I agree that it wasn't the best and that a new design was needed but the new one is just simply even more unprofessional. :(
