Can u check my BF 1942 page?

At the moment i working on a Battlefield 1942 HQ website and i need some feedback.

Can you check it out: Battlefield 1942 HQ      http://bf.spcl.tk ?

I wonder how it is working for your browser (mobile/desktop).

It should give a fly-by sound of the zero planes and u should see animation behind the menu of flying zero planes which i took from the intro movie of the game.

Also after 20 seconds it should automatically redirect you to the forums page.

The links in the menu should work and high-light.

I am still looking for the most important links in the BF 1942 community. Anyone any more idea's what to add? You have a good site yourself and u want to be in the list? Of course i try to collect the most important things for the BF 1942 community.

(i do my best to make everything work on any browser and any device, mobile, tables, laptops and desktops it should even work on television browsers)

Is this site working for you? Sound/Animation/Menu/Auto Redirect in 20 seconds

  1. Sound of fly-by planes, background animation and the menu is ALL working
  2. No sound
  3. No animation in background
  4. Menu not working
  5. After 20 second redirect not working

Re: Can u check my BF 1942 page?

What has that to do with this Piper? I just try to add to the BF1942 community.

Most important i would like to make a "Battlefield News" edition: https://www.spcl.tk/category/bf1942/
but i try lay the basis first and mess around a bit with design and related "content".

(also i am implementing the same for two totally other online FPS games)

I have more plans that this
-maybe run a game server (but i think that market is atm satisfied, there are major issues on =aX= tho)
-maybe run a teamspeak channel (not sure if we need this at all, since SIMPLE ts is back)
-run a private server for recording BF movies (related to Vicar TV)
-add some mods and other new things in the scene

At the moment i just try to collect all the most important links for people who play this game.

Is your BF server still up Piper?

For example you sure missed the wedding last week Piper...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67q6fpq_c5g

Fatgirl and Graizer got married in Bocage Church... plenty showed up but nobody from Simple...

But i am not sure why Vicar decided to blow up the just married couple on the way out of church hmm

EDIT:  tried it from another Win10/FF machine, sound was synced.
Came back to this one, sound was synced here now also..

Thanks man! Great report...

Yes i know it not always sync... very hard to do actually.

I use a animated.gif and a .wav sound in html. Some systems load the wav before the gif then the sync is off.

This page will stay the same (intro page) only the menu will change. I am in the process of making a whole separate server for this site as i have new 50mb/s connection to host game server also. But that is still quite some work.

Again thanks so much for the report!

(i hope to get only few people who not see anim or not hear sound, then i know it is optimized enough for all browsers)

In the END this site will be mainly BF 1942 news, Downloads and links to most important community sites (like this forum is nr.1 in the scene)

Piper, please note i not try to scatter the BF1942 community... i asked Tuia already about the hotlinking... he said ok but "i wont link to you". Which is fair enough... in fact i like to talk to him again in this month, to ask if he mind if i "integrate" or "hotlink to his (this) forum.

As far as i know most updates, news AND decent players come here. So no real use for my forum except for "technical talk" about spcl.tk related things.

Bla bla bla.. dont worry Piper... i just want to put things together for all the BF fans... not separate!!!

A blog/news/rss reader is still missing in my view. And i seen some cool new projects (mods and hosts) lately that i think need more attention.

Re: Can u check my BF 1942 page?

ANOTHER THING WHY I MAKE THIS:

For a few years now i been thinking about making semi-clan matches. But then for people who are not into clans... sounds strange maybe but i know many pro players here who NOT in a clan but would LOVE to do pro matches sometimes. Even tho the simple public server is already quite high in skill level (i love playing SIMPLE public).

But what simple and AX are both missing is stats, top players, MVP's... and other medal and rank kind of things. If i can somewhow organize people here and at AX i think we could do really cool matches once every month or so.

Anyhow i have plenty of cool idea's and things i try to get off the ground. Again i am NOT try to compete with ANYONE in the community. I just try to consolidate a bit more.

A new BF1942 website is cool. As for hosting a new server, unless you plan on having frequent events on it, be ready to see it be empty most of the time.

Hehehe yeah me too Piper, dont worry. I setup that forum system just because i wanted to do it. Got the time, tools and skills so why not. I dun care if people use it, at the moment j got a few looser russians who use bot to fill it viagra adverts LMAO. Maybe next year it be filled with bick digs. (jk)

I also have too many forums in my list to attend to. No worries piper!

The topic is about the front page. Little script sound and animation test to see if it works on most devices. It is a hobby project, do not worry about it. Forums like phpbb are out of fasion anyways. Not that suitable for mobile devices.

I was considering doing the same with my WP site a while back, just didn't really have time to update it, sounds like a gr8 idea tbh.

Re: Can u check my BF 1942 page?

Thanks for the feedback, the site is down atm as i  change to a 60mb/s line. Also i am a bit inspired by an old Simple member here. I try to find a moment to talk to him because he shared one of the most amazing bf1942 idea's a month ago. I would love to host his plan (not sure.if he needs amything but i will find out).

hint: online streaming play bf without install or anything, just right out of the browser.

I be back in a day, take good care peeps!

Whoops i seen in twitchthe latest bf1942 match has been more than a year ago, correct?

Thanks sir! Note it is work in progress, alk the work Tuia and his mods and SSK already do, it hard for ke to find something to add. I do my best, keep posted and super thanks for the feedback.

P.s. any important links to BF1942 things please add.

P.s. Piper pointed out something important/interesting. Obviously, everybody knows, Simple forum is and will be the BEST place to talk about BF. And the simple game servers are the best moderated ones. I would NEVER think to compete with that. Very important for me is to consolidate and not seperate the community.

I do not wish to bother Tuia too much. I just ask him permission here and there where i think he should know what i do (link). I admire his work and also all the work and input from his admins and members.

I be back (gotto fly to russia moscow today, i be back in about 5 days)

Practice wars are usually played every Wednesday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Every 2nd Sundays there's an official clan war. Normally it's 8vs8, although the clans are getting smaller and fewer. I haven't been active myself lately, I can't be bothered to play the shitty troll custom maps some admins decided to add and barely even know anyway.

I've been streaming a shite-ton of other Battlefield content lately on Twitch, as well as just other games in general.

I always try to redirect people towards the simple forum whenever I don't know stuff. Some people setup a "Battlefield 1942 Get Together" on Discord, like the game is dead or something https://discord.gg/rk2d4D

The ''Downloads'' section of your website is basically a rip off of SiMPLE's, with a few added links. Just saying.

True, completely rip off... actually it is hotlink. I asked Tuia if he allowed me to, he said "yes but do not expect me to link to your site". Fair enough (i never asked him to, i didn't get it).

I am still working on it. I haven't put up my own downloads yet because i didn't have the time yet to find/create clean downloads. I also not have the time to fully check (debug/scan or otherwise) the current downloads. I wont host exe files that i am not sure of if they are really clean.

Anyway i will try to find time to create a real nice ready download from original ISO with the patches. Obviously such a thing takes time... god it will take me at least a day to dig into my boxes to find my original CD...

Anyway, the legality is another issue.

To be honest the main reason why i setup this website is for work that TheVicar does... it is not crystallized yet. And i am also waiting for a few attacks that are most likely coming my way, it is, yes a honey pot. The few "probes" i got from this year haven't been enough.

Yes it will never be perfect since i use GIF (graphics) and OGG (sound). Cannot ever 100% sync it... also i shrinked down the audio/video last week, it is below 400kb now (which is actually still a lot but who cares).

Things change over time THANKS for the feedback!!!

You can link to whatever you want iCQ, although I guess some of my content is a little old at this point. I always made it to show the game was still alive smile

The guys who said up that discord clearly thought the game was dead, which simply isn't the case.
