The long awaited Team system is now online.

The features in short:

  • Team Profiles, with players & contact information.
  • Publish a team blog - managers can post updates or press releases.
  • Create 'Squads' to divide your Team into smaller groups
  • Associate Squads to Games (e.g. QL, CSS)
  • Assign Team Managers & Squad Leaders
  • Full Player & Squad History, to track your team's movements.
  • All data can be exported using RSS/XML

Demo Team & Website: Frag My Nuts

To show off what the Teams section can do, I've created a dummy team & website.

The website & its code is available here.

Where?

You can find the teams section here, or alternatively, under 'Games' on the navigation panel.

Once we have a few team blogs in the database, I'll be linking them on the front page (like New Threads & Demos).

If you have any suggestions, feel free to reply to this with your ideas.

Note: Your vent password is only viewable by team members.

Here is part two of the q3fuel series.

If you missed the first part, click here!

Fuel is back, this time with a solid frag selection from the ESWC 2005 tournament. It's a pure frag video with minimalist editing. All the efforts goes on viewing demos and tweaking the quality to give you the best visual experience. It take me 3 months to capture the movie material with a full blend (1000fps).

Featured players:
cooller, czm, fox, socrates, toxic, jibo, enemy, keeper, st_germain, chance, cherya, fazz

Bonus: you will find a tutorial to achieve same quality as q3fuel2.

I highly recommend the tutorial if you intend to make a Frag Movie. This will create insane quality vids.

The long weekend has been very productive. Users now have the ability to upload demos for all to see.

The sales pitch:

  • Easy sharing - anyone can download.
  • Organised - upload and see for yourself.
  • High Speeds - all files are hosted on the PG webserver.
  • Demo Results are available, but hidden for people that don't want to know who win.

You can find the demos section here, or alternatively, under 'Games' on the navigation panel.

Once we have a few demos in the database, I'll be linking the Demo section on the front page (like Discussion & New Threads).

If you have any suggestions, feel free to reply to this with your ideas. This whole module was suggested last week by wch.
