Status to official release
- Week 1
- Jun 3: Announced intentions on SEN.
- Jun 4: Received positive feedback from the community. Registered domain.
- Jun 5: Made logo.
- Jun 6: Set up forum and skin.
- Jun 7: Updated forum to latest version. Continuing work on forum layout. Researching shoutbox options and other potential forum mods, though will likely wait on implementation until community needs can be better established.
- Jun 8: Further forum and module research.
- Jun 9: Implementation of many new BBcodes.
Week 2 - Jun 10: Attempt to update wiki thwarted. Mod Trailer thread started.
- Jun 11: Embarked on a search for replacement smileys. First set established, but later removed due to size.
- Jun 12: New smiley set found, and partially added for feedback.
- Jun 13: Wiki updated, but was broken somehow by the process. Reinstalled fresh with the new release. Wiki finally working at latest version. Extension installed allowing Wiki to use the user database of the forum. Starcraft: Unravelled transferred to the Modcrafter wiki, with permission from Broodkiller and DiscipleofAdun.
- Jun 14: Wiki logo made. Researching wiki extensions to add.
- Jun 15: Many new wiki extensions added, such as a WYSIWYG editor, syntax highlighter, tree menus, internal page tabs, and breadcrumbs. New forum logo made (not pixellated, a bit shinier). Poiuy_Qwert has coded a new syntax highligher script for Iscript.
- Jun 16: Front page now has buttons, demonstrating the site's intended categories. AI syntax highlighting script made for the wiki, supporting both PyAI and SCAIEdit code.
Week 3 - Jun 17: New forum icons made!
- Jun 18: Internet has been down for 28 hours. Front page buttons resized for better balance, and CREATE renamed to CRAFT for further visual balance and a tie-in to our namesake. Wiki's Iscript, PyAI, and SCAIEdit syntax highlighting has been updated, adding missing things and fixing duplicates. A new highlighter script has also been made for triggers (PyTRG).
- Jun 19: Design and coding for the real front page has started. New Glossary wiki extension added. Acronyms added to the Glossary page will function like an automated tip BBcode on all wiki pages. This handy tool allows us the convenience of technical terms without losing the unfamiliar, without needing to hyperlink everything to new pages. Because it's automated, you don't even have to think about it while writing your articles or fumble with clumsy code.
- Jun 20: Web development continues. New Gallery extension added to the wiki. This lets you create a slideshow of multiple images, smoothly transitioning to the next image either by user interaction or timed automation. There is currently a bug where anything after a gallery is not displayed, so right now it can only be used at the bottom of a page. Looking into fixing this problem.
- Jun 21: Web development continues.
- Jun 22: Layout finalized. Code cleanup and PHP backend programming started.
- Jun 23: Website news system is up!
