1. I have PHP templates to use for banners, similiar to what's here. Where do you want them loaded?
2. We have permission to use rigs from Pirate. I'd prefer to keep them to the famouser ones... Tiny, JR's Fat City Bronco, White Knight, etc... there are some great ideas on that thread I linked:http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=622712
3. We also have permission to use our vendors. I'd like to see BlueTorch Fab, Trent Fab, RuffStuff, AtoZ and any others.

As far as advertisers go, I'd like to use Interco Tires, Maxxis tires, Alloy USA, Precision Gear, Blue Torch, Polyperformance, Shaffer's Offroad, Marlin Crawler, Poison Spyder, Twisted Customs, Drivetrain Outlet, Roundeyes.com, PRP, Powertank, Warn, Tom Wood's Custom Driveshafts, and Staun. You can use the Fabschool as a fab training school...

Edit - Spidertrax too. I will probably add more later if there's room.

Ok, the vendors will make it easier to make the mods, parts/weapons and sliders,etc/armor for the rigs. Adding the vendor/manufacturer should add a nice touch. John will be making most of those when we get the admin panel up. This is rather easy for me, there are so many quotes from members from over the years. I'm sure once the game is in testing there will be a lot more ideas. I'm actually having fun at this for once. Lance, always adding more schools and stuff will keep the game interesting. I talked to John about not trying to put everything up right away so it is not too confusing to start out. If the game is too involved right away it may turn some people off. With us making the code from scratch the possibilities are endless.

As far as the ads? I take it will they all be 468x60 and in the same spot?

Yep.

 

[papee]

Yep.

Do you want the one at the bottom also?

 

[Grendel]

Yep

Hey i dont know how the ads will wokr you want me to just leave you a page thats included in the header for the ads? or how do you want to work this?

I can build it into the db for the game or u can add it when we hand the code over to you?

 

[Lance]

Guys, there are templates that you can simply call with a PHP call, if you'd like (I'd PREFER that, actually to keep the site continuity).

Top template:

<?php 
include("/home/lance/pirate4x4.com/templates/revised_top.php");
?>

Bottom Template:

<?php 
include("/home/lance/pirate4x4.com/templates/revised_bottom.php");
?>

Thanks Lance, I was kinda leading John to see what you wanted there. I didn't want to "ask" for the code. Site sure is acting strange, can't add a smiley thing. Maybe it's just the last update from Firefox, :shrug:

I went through the thread and got the best pics. We're ok for the comp rigs but we need some mild rigs and a few daily driver/wheelers. I've spent so long in chit chat I'm not up on what the guys are running LOL. I'd like to have 8-10 of each so everyone isn't running the same rig. What do you think about players using their own rig(upload a pic) for the lower two classes, then choose from the comp rigs for the upper class. I guess we may do a Ftoy class as well?

You could get some stock Jeep JKs from JKOwners.com to post their pictures. That would be sweet, actually. do you want me to make a post over there (it's our sister site for newbie JK Owners)

 

[Grendel]

Lance, sounds like a good idea...

I'd do it but I am not an Admin there.

 

[papee]

Yea, it's best if one of you guys do it so I don't have to post something and get PM'd . It's hard because sometimes I would like to get some info. Another thing you could do is start a favorite pirate quotes thread. We can use some of them for error messages and other things in the code.

You can start adding items

ill add a few classes for items to go into itll be

class 1
class 2
class 3
class 4
universal

and u can customize the text later since i dont know what dave has invisioned for this yet .. for universal universal is for parts, meds that work for any class of the rigs

btw if u can gets some items up so i can get an idea of what all there will be (item types for example) and so on so i can start programing the pages

BTW Admin panel will be done before any other pages are done... Since the pages are normaly very simple for the most part and dont require you to be able to delete, edit and create stuff...

anyways just giving you a heads up

store stock will also be added shortly so u can start adding stuff to the stores...
