HUGE HOMEWORLD PAPER MODELS ARCHIVE

[gremdek]

that's freakin ok!

[conand81]

I'll have it ready for you tomorrow(or later tonight if I decide to stay up), I've run into some problems with displaying the file size and my friend that knows more about php than I do seems to have gone to bed. *curses*

::Edit::
Heh, he was on a multi-hour phone call, so problem resolved... check progress at my homepage: www.connyandersson.com/images/index2.php
I need to do a decent logo and change all the fonts, then I'm all done.

[conand81]

Made a little package fer ya, should make it look a little bit nicer.
hw-moded file indexer
... now I frikkin' go to bed, ugh! =_=

[conand81]

Goddamn it, I wanna see my puppy in action... tho, feel free to remake that lousy title-image, not really pleased with it.

btw, if anyone out there have the "HW2FontEditor", please mail it to me! It's impossible to get a hold of it through google at least. :/

[gremdek]

I'd say it's just great!

If you make another version, don't forget to put your credits somewhere.

Is it possible to make some folder names in different colors?

[conand81]

Yeah, I've thought of that, it looked cool in my folder because I just had one sub-folder in it... but it's very much possible to color the folder entries differently depending on sub-level, so I'll work something out so it does looks 'Even' better.

[gremdek]

If someone has any details about a model, please make sth like that:


exactfilename|description

for instance:
hw.kushan.fighter.lightinterceptor(jpg).rar|made by gremdek, blue&white

[conand81]

Darn it, I'm putting down way too much time in this, and love doing so... weird really.
New features in the next indexer:

• New logo. This took me quite some time to do and I think you'll find the result quite eye-catching. Did a vector-outline of the original homeworld2-logo, and from that vector-data I put together the missing letters (a, c, i, p, s and v) to form the new logo, rendered it to raster, open it in a raster-editor, added glow, voilá! *phew*
  
• Different sub-folder colors. This way it will, hopefully, be easier to find what you're looking for.
  

Features I'm looking into:

• Collapsible description. A Little tricky to describe, but I aim for something like the descriptions at YouTube, were you have those more/less-links showing the whole or the truncated description.
  
• Indented table-cells. ...depending on sub-level, instead of as it is now, with just simple spaces indicating what sub-level something is part of. Basically, it would make spotting what you're looking for even easier, not sure if it's possible tho'.
  
• Collapsible folders. Now, this I cannot promise at all, a loose claim my php/js-knowing friend said he could do for me. But he is a little bit like me, he's already involved and cannot let something go until it's perfect. ;D
  

Also, I think it would be wise to PM the file-descriptions to gremdek, otherwise it would clutter the thread beyond what's readable... but then again, that would require some more activity in this forum, so do as you wish.
If you did not quite get what gremdek meant, this part of the readme for the indexer might help a little:

To add descriptions, you want to edit the _description.txt file.
Here is the syntax:
filename|description
For example:
tyra_banks.jpg|Hot chick.
oprah.jpg|A modern day anti-christ.
The case of the filename must be the *exact* same as the case of the file on the server. In other words Oprah.jpg wouldn't work if the file itself is oprah.jpg. Each description should be seperated by a new line (an enter). Make sure you use unix line breaks, windows may or may not work. Do NOT use any special characters in your descriptions. NO " ' : ; | { } < > @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) etc.

::Edit::
"Collapsible description" is now implemented, and after some analyzing so should the "Indented table-cells" be no problem as well. ;D

[gremdek]

I do apologize for not being too quick in reacting to your great .. let's call it inventions

but for your work the site wouldn'y propably have anything pretty, maybe logo...

I look forward to these colorized directories.

and I think about putting some news at the relicforums when this is finally done.

[conand81]

np, was quite some time ago I got use my programming skills, it's great for them to breath some fresh air again.

And with the 'collapsable descriptions' you can write them how large you want, it'll always fit on one row, at least initially.
I'll probably be ready with the "indented table-cells" in a few hours(maybe 3-5h) unless I run into unforeseen problems, so keep you eyes peeled... the collapsable folders will have to wait, at least until tomorrow.

::Edit::
Here it is: www.connyandersson.com/files/hw-file_index.zip
all functions besides the "collapsable folders", but it was as I suspected, my friend just must follow-through so he might even have it done later today, lol!
also, try making some long descriptions, it's really neat.

[conand81]

If you read this you might as well wait another hour, we'll have the collapsible folders ready in notime... I'll edit this message when we're done...


::Edit::
Well, we're pretty much done now, the file is back up again at least(same url as before). I'll PM you if I find out something is wrong with it or if we make more gadgets for it.

[gremdek]

I see I'll have to wait because the link is 404.

say big thanks to the friend of yours.

[conand81]

Hotdamn you're slow... I'm all fired up over here and you're all mellow and easy going, c'mon c'mon.

[conand81]

I'm sorry if you happen to find that the file is 404 again, it has been up for the past 20h but I took it away a while ago... again... so you've had a nice window of opportunity to DL the previous version.
But my pal has constantly been adding new features and little trinkets, and it's actually getting on my nerves, but with a little luck he'll soon be done.

... but I'll upload the latest working version for you, then I'll PM you know when we're done with the "final-beta"(or whatever it should be called), I think our posting here is quite the travesty for the other forum members. ^_^;

::Edit::
There: www.connyandersson.com/files/hw-file_index_v09b.zip *deleted*

... found an error, and I know what it is, so it'll be sorted out in no time... I'll just frikkin PM you the link when I'm done... end of transmission. -_-

[gremdek]

don't feel sorry for that 404.

applying the 75b version.. in progress... done... you can now safely view the list...goodbye.


edit

I've just opened the site, and THAT'S SO GREAT! ?I love the marked folders and the more/less thing.
