New design/features:
http://paradox.techquirks.net/map.php?id=3
Compared to:
http://tremrepo.techquirks.net/map.php?id=3

Both are using the same database, so both share the same info.

Just my new one looks much prettier.

All the same info is on both, but the new one has more added, and better style.


The description is short now, because it, well, is, but when this service is actually used i suspect that mapauthors will write a lot more (see the maps forum for examples...)

Looks good :).

Maybe make the error bar at the top slightly less transparent?  It'd hard to read over certain backgrounds.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

Very nice, but the minimap generator needs to exclude hint brushes (brushes with common/hint and/or skip and/or hintskip shader) and parts of map that entities can't access / which don't get compiled (behind structural brushes) (see arachnid2's minimap). Some indication of depth (and also a bar like on most real maps showing scale) would go a long way in making niveus minimap readable. Oh and someone needs to clean up tremor before 1.2 lmfao.
more edits: looking at nexus6 minimap, seems that patches are not included :( and karith, you should make terrain (shaders with q3map_nonplanar in them) only have fade in/out surfaces, but no lines between faces.

the minimaps are generated with q3map2 -minimap, there's not much that can be done about the output.

The error bar should only be visible if you don't have JS off. It is visible then because I am working on making it say Error: You appear to have JS off. You cannot vote without JS.

Unless this is a different problem. If it needs to be lightened, this shouldn't be too difficult. Few minutes in Kuler

Why not?

No real reason, easy enough to make work as it is, but we havn't.

Mainly because vote.php uses post requests, and a href links cannot send post requests.

We could change it to a $_GET, but i believe that leaves more room for abuse. You will have to talk to david and wired about this, they designed the backend.

Thats what i usually think. And as such, have no qualms in building the site to require it. Its not 100% Ajax, just a nice feature (voting) is. You don't have to use it, but if you want to vote you need javascript.

Many people disable Javascript on untrusted sites and requiring them to have it enabled is bad practice. It is 2009; you have a lot of control over the appearance of form fields (use onsubmit to do your AJAX magic).

Even gmail works without Javascript enabled, is there really any reason for this not to?

If you want to view this site properly, you need to enable javascipt
That is more or less what you will see if you disable javascript.
If you are an old person probably you just visit 5 or 6 sites a day, then I shouldn't be a problem for you.

Gmail is a webmail service so it should be accessible even with a slow connection.
IMHO, Map repository is an entertainment site.
Your business contact wouldn't want you to rate his/her tremulous map.

The vast majority of sites I go on work without javascript, as does the repo.  Some stuff doesn't, but core functionality does.
I disabled javascript knowing it would break lots of sites, and so I know it's my fault when it does break.
I then re-enable it for the odd bits of functionality I want/need.

The problem I have is not that some minor functionality is unavailable to a minority of users. The problem I have is that that minority of users is being actively discriminated against, when the simplest possible implementation of that minor functionality would not discriminate against anyone. Arguments about how minor the functionality is and how small of a minority is affected are missing the point entirely.

Anyone who disagrees is welcome to do so, but it is a known bug that should be fixed and further discussion about it is pointless.

I nearly cried when I read that...

That was pretty pointless. It is only your personal opinion/preference not a fact. You should look at the subject from different points of views to totally understand it. Declaring one point of view as superior and others as pointless is pure elitism IMHO.
If you think it is a bug feel free to fix it. After all It is your duty to help the minority as a citizen of The Internet Republic

Well, I did more work on the UI this afternoon.

No JS voting has been implemented.

Also, i did some work on the moderation stuff, but most people won't see that.
