Status update...

Server Stats

Stats are rocking it like a baby at a concert. Been 'acquiring' more map images for the site 'cause ra3maps, hub3aeroq3 etc. screenshots are hard to find. TIP: In case you didn't know, a .pk3 is just a zip file. Open it in winzip to retrieve the map image. Just a little sumthin sumthin from my days as a high-profile map builder, HAHA *silence
Luckily I acquired most of the other map images from elsewhere, so less effort :)

Design

Mooore transparency and dynamic effects. Yes!

Widget

*RUsynaptic + javascript + pizza = yahoo widget.

In case you didn't know, the widget allows you to view live server stats right on your Windows desktop. It's looking ridiculously cool.

We added skinning capability to the widget so now you can customize the design yourself. Maybe we'll have a 'skins' section on the site so you can download other ppl's widget designs... *GOGOGadgetAddToFeatureListAgain*

From the creative side of things for the widget, maaaaybe we'll post a screenshot. I will have to get special 'permission' from our project manager. We are apparently getting some transparency and stuff as well.

Ladder

Been doing lots of planning around this. We're excited about this component because we feel that a simple, efficient, user-friendly ladder system that actually works, is something that our Q3 community is lacking. We're keen to hear what your thoughts are on this and what would make your lives easier when it comes to the ladder/ranking story.

Database

*RUplayerName has been missioning with this. The profile system and the ladder are currently our main focus from the database side of things.
