FL Dev - Program Expert's Talents

Well. its been along while since the last update, or news post hehe, but alot of stuff has been getting done, in that time, Program Expert was working on a new tool, at first exclusively for the MOD's Development, but then decided that it should be released to the public to use. The tool is called Freelancer Developer, or, FLDev for short. This tool can convert a Excel spreadsheet into a ini file for use with freelancer ^^, for example, we needed a fast way to code in 200+ guns into the MOD quickly.. using this tool, we was able to code them in, in 2 seconds. Aswell as this, it can do a host of other things, and its XML Editor is the best availbile. info cards, adding newstrings, search function, its got alot of stuff, plsu little things like a calculator, colour converter, the feature list is quite impressive for such a new utility. if you would like to find out more about FLDev you can visit it here - The-starport.net

Website News

Alot of things have been up-in-arms as of late with regards to the site, i know people have been posting on the site, tho the general activity there is.. zero hehe :D. this is a failure on our part as * I * feel that our involvemnt and interaction with the community we have has been very little, a high percentage of our users that are registered havent posted and the ones that do, are very loyal and i do congratualte you on your patience with us :) *claps*

Registration Woes

It come to my attention that some people may not have been able to register with the site due to the iamge verification being broken. we apologise MASSIVELY for not realising this (more to the point we didnt even know!) and i throw out a thanks to russo for pointing this out ^^. So, now, you can now register without being horrified by the image verification as it has now been fixed WOOP!. this might be why so little have posted, who knows eh? :D

Theme changes and mutilation of pictures

If you have visted the site recently youll find the theme has changed.. ALOT, the old theme was becomming an eye-sore so i went in search of greater things and discovered this neat theme from tinrportal.com and went about installing it, spent all morning and most of the afternoon modifying various CSS files and bits of code to get it working right, but got there in the end ^^, modified some of the pictures so the colour scheme fitted with the FL:WT colour theme and now it looks like a proper freelancer website. Most people might not be aware of the little picture in the top right of the website, this picture is user specified from a list of pictures which have been placed there by myself. you can choose which picture you would liek to see in the top right by clicking the drop down menu in that corner and selecting the picture, ALL of them are a cut up form of a screenshot from in the War-Torn MOD and can provide a slight hint as to what you can expect ^^, if you would like to see your own freelancer picture up there, send me a e-mail at cheeseontoast123@gmail.com ill send you the details on size and if i need edit your picture at all (you may provide a full screenshot so tell me what part you want visible :))

Thats about it for now, in summary, the mod is in development, it WILL be completed, The site has been updated (www.fl-wt.com) oh almost forgot! just paid for the domain to be re-newed so we dont dissappear off the interwebs :D, FLDev is goign to be awesome (credit goes out to those that have helped PE) and im still cheesy and like to post big things at 5:35am ;)

Cheers!
