Here's a preview of the layout of an FFA from the Live Match Coverage. The game in progress was actually a CA game, but it's just test data...



(Apologies for the crappy image quality. Photoshop died on me, so I had to use a diff app.)

Hi guys,

Here's a preview of the Live Match Coverage from the site. Clicking on one of the servers shows more detail in a slideout. Just wanted to show you something :P



This is the Live Match Coverage slideout...

Update time...

Articles

We've finally completed our content management system for the articles. We're extending it to allow you guys to also submit news/stories/articles to the site.

Server Stats

I showed playerName the latest updates to the Live Match Coverage, and he was so impressed he said that I should upload some screens here in the forum. We'll see...

aFm RSS Feed?

I thought it would be cool if we could get hold of an aFm RSS feed - that way we could show the latest forum threads or something on our homepage. gogogogo n30n :P



Hopefully we'll be able to get a beta out soon.

Another update (about time!)

Live Match Coverage

As mentioned in last month's update, the official name for our server stats offering is Live Match Coverage. It's definitely one of the most useful features of the site, allowing you to see the current matches in progress on all the servers at once and in realtime. Yes, in realtime. In your browser. It's kind of like server stats on steriods.

Something else we're working on is our Live Match Commentary feature, which is very hush-hush at the moment, but I'm sure the name gives something* away. This may not make it into the initial release, but we'll try.

Articles

We are accepting article submissions at quake3 (at) webafrica.org.za, so if you're feeling inspired, write us a couple of words about the S.A. Q3 scene and we'll include it on the site for free. You don't even have to pay us! Tongue

We are thinking of allowing the players to also contribute articles and news to the site via some kind of login/edit/approval process. What you think?

News Feed

We've got our news feeds running, so you will be able to keep up to date with your esreality & gotfrag happenings directly on the site.
