I need the following:

1. Comments for the chart

After it's finalized, I need:

2. A coder.

I want the avatar pictures to be coded so that when somebody clicks on them a seperate internet browser of the matching character description comes up. Descriptions can be found here:

That shouldn't be a problem to do.

Where and how is this going to be published?

I was thinking on the main site, under government. It's up to the webmaster.

Before anything is done though I want to edit/revise it if revision is needed. I'll be creating the description pages over time, and they can be added as so.

[Dafur Gewissae]

Maybe do it in flash with rollover descriptions?

[Fenris]

I like it, I like it alot! If we can find somebody good with flash, then Dafurs idea would really improve a good thing even further. It'd be less annoying than reading the key to figure out every icon.

[Komako the Hawk]

Made changes for a grid.

If there are any *cough*Your Grace*cough* corrections that need to be made, I need to know. Otherwise, this is the final copy.

[Dafur Gewissae]

Going to install flash and have a try at it I guess.

[Manus Dei]

Only the changes to the commander medal.

[Nira Nathair]

The only problem I see is the size. The main portal site's frame is less than 400 pixels wide, which means a lot of horizontal scrolling, which just never works. So it would have to open up in a new tab/window or something.

[Protonix]

maybe a new main portal is in order!

also, I would consider moving everything down a bit so that duchy of wessex isn't interrupted by the Duke's avatar.

[Nira Nathair]

Well to be fair, it's also wider than I generally keep my browser window at (around 900 pixels on a 1280x1024 screen - our forums default to 800 pixels).

Anyway, even if you assume everyone has at least 1024 resolution and the window maximized, you still have the width of the vertical scrollbar to account for, so at least make it around 1000 px wide maximum if not narrower. If it could be cropped and shrunk down to about 760 that would be best.

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

enlarge it and make it a desktop wallpaper for 1280x1024!

And yeah, if you want this built into the main site you're going to have to squish it down to at most 647px wide. 'cause I ain't redesigning the whole website for it. If you want to redesign the website around it, then be my guest. If it's any good, we'll use it! it can be as tall as you'd like, though. if you crunch it down to that (by either shrinking it, or redesigning it so it's longer than wide... possibly by dropping the Freeman positions off completely) i'll code it on the site!

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

actually, don't cut the specialty forces off, i like it! we need to illustrate the possibilities for burgesses somehow. uh...

hmm


well, be creative. but in any case, get rid of that Duchy of Wessex text at the top. it sucks. either put it all on the right side or leave it out completely.

Well, I ain't got the PDF so i can't make it purdy. but you get the idea. SQUISH IT IN THERE!

[Komako the Hawk]

Squished.

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

I hate to be picky...

647 width doesn't leave room for a scroll bar. Please make it 600 (ideally) to 625 or less ;) I didn't expect you to actually use the 647, even though I stated it quite clearly. It's my fault you've had to resize it so many times, but could you please do it once more? i'd just resize the jpeg, but if you do it it'll be fuber, because you're fuber, Komako!

[Komako the Hawk]

FFS.

550 anyone?

[Fenris]

Make a 1024x768 version and i'll love you long time :P

[Nira Nathair]

'Tis done. I put a temporary link to the ranks chart at the bottom of the Muster page.

I used ImageReady to create an html imagemap. This is quite easy to do and to update as necessary.

The description pages are also there, sized up to 600px.

All the files for these pages are in the /ranks directory, and they include a relative reference to ../government/muster.css .

[Komako the Hawk]

Thank you, Nira.

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

we gotta showcase it a little better than that

i think i'll add a new section to the flash menu

[Dafur Gewissae]

Well, I was working on it but I never got around to finishing it. It was roll over style buttons where the page would pop up. Should I keep working on it? Had a small problem that stalled me and im working on fixing it.

[Nira Nathair]

I'm not really a fan of flash interfaces to be honest. If you'd like to keep working on your version by all means do, if Fish likes it better he'll use it. My way was just easy. :)

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

are you telling me the medal boxes suck?

[Nira Nathair]

No, the medal boxes are totally pwn!

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

good 'cause i'm about to integrate them into the forum theme on everyone's profile page!

[Nira Nathair]

Hey, that's an awesome idea!

[Fenris]

ZOMG, someday when I grow up I wanna be just like Fishbarrel!

[Tagrun Urit]

*cough cough* Yea..way to set goals! :) Good Job Komako!:)

[Komako the Hawk]

All of the pages are done.

http://www.duchyofwessex.org/pdfs/military.pdf

Whether it be by flash or other means I would like the descriptions to be linked to the chart in a fashionable manner.

[Nira Nathair]

They can be found in a more webby format in a link at the very bottom of the Muster, which will be put in the flash menus soon.

http://www.duchyofwessex.org/ranks/ranks.html

The pdf will also be made available for download, and will be sent to all new members in their welcome packet.

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

Oh I'll get right on that.
