    That Link doesnt work.

    Btw Guys, and models or anything just submit them to files@nsarmslab.com

    (if you didnt know..you can spin the navigation around)

    I love the organziation and the sweet nav of the site. The Nav is so cool how u can make it turn to get the other links =)

    Oh, there's a spelling error after you click 'Enter' and go to the main page.
    'Receive' is spelt incorrectly near the bottom right.

    While it's still pretty good looking, the interface is stupid. It's not user friendly in the least. It took me way too long to realise that spinny thing was the interface, and it's "random" style doesn't fit at all with all the clean lines and orderly design used throughout the page.

    You need to actually sit down and focus on one design to use throughout the site, every page (That is actually there.... *cough*) is different and has a different interface, which is a horrendously bad idea.

    Whoever designed this needs to realise that it is <b>not</b> an art site or a portfolio site. It is intended as a website, not a piece of art, and you just haven't grasped that. You sacrified useability for looks, which if you want high traffic, will put off a lot of people.

    Not that smart to use .bmp ;P

    It took me a while to understand that i was supposed to spin the little bugger.
    The the things (don't remember the name) that you ue too scroll down the page looks out of place, doesen't fit in.
    And the font on the Custom Detail page is.... ugleh :/.

    But there is at least more Custom Models, that main part <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have to agree with esuna. Functionality should come first and foremost, with design 'coolness' falling in at a distant second. The spinny navigation is a neat toy but it needs to go. Get something more traditional that people can immediately pick up on.



    Even those ultra-snazzy Flash "portfolio" sites are annoying. I'm there to see someone's art, not get confused by the navigation or ultra-slimline thumbnails... I don't care how 'cool' it looks! I swear, Macromedia Flash is a wonderful and terrible tool for webdesigners...

    I've never been so confused in my life. I totally agree with Esuna, you need to fix that site up to be more user friendly.
    Also, about the M5 Gator, I dont see any credit for my skin on the site, nor in what seems to be the readme..?
    I am pretty puzzled by this "[NSA]Sixsixone" fellow, first he says, "The texture is nice, also with the famous stripes!" and then goes to "Also, the texture is very plain and boring, its needs more detail in it, something to make it stand out."...?
    Anyway, I would like credit for my hard work on the texure.

    i think the creator bit beside dl link is like the credit tho it would confuse ppl to who made the skin/model/animation

    and the <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> "The texture is nice, also with the famous stripes!" and then goes to "Also, the texture is very plain and boring, its needs more detail in it, something to make it stand out."...?

    is sorta confusing
  • BigBullBigBull Join Date: 2003-04-02 Member: 15123Members
    This is the thing about flash. People think and assume its hard to update and hard to use. Thats because the n00bies take that file of the whole site, jam into one, and call it done. And have to update like a ****. If you ask any real designer they know that you just cut the swf.s into pieces and update it from there, throw it in an ftp folder and presto.

    People mainly dont like the design because they are use to the garbage thats on the net right now for NS. Every site looks the same except ours. Originality is cool, and a good tool to use in life. ANd the navigation is good, people with 0 IQ can figure out that when you load the page the thing spins, *so you spin it duh*


    We are trying to stand out. Sorry if our website isn't old fashioned or looks like every other site out there. Whats so hard to navigate. You rotate and click. Takes 2 Secs. If your having troublewith that, theres something seriously wrong with you. Also the whole site isnt in flash anyway.

    Seriously, wake up to the nsarmslab world. We aren't gonna be like everyone other NS site out there:

    Boring
    Same Colors
    Same Layout

    same everything.

    Just because something is different from the same **** your used to, doesn't mean its bad, or even any better. You still get the models dont you, and something pretty to look at.

    You guys are so institutionalized to the same boring red and black NS website.

    Yeh the enter page is going

    Some of the stuff is kinda of buggy or persay not completed to its best ability because we are getting our new ns server today and setting that up.

    It will improve guys.

    And i think i have a html alternative in the works.

    See we design our flash easier and faster to load. Divide the flash files up on each page, more efficient and faster <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Tiny Little bugs i need to change also.

    i'm sure it looks nice, i'm glad you've proclaimed it "done" but <WHINE> WHERE'S MY NSA BANNER??? (so i can link to you...)</WHINE>
  • EpidemicEpidemic Dark Force Gorge Join Date: 2003-06-29 Member: 17781Members
    Just some feedback:)
    Server info, get hosted and web design's hyperlink doesnt work (Just in case if it wasnt intended)
    Custom detail section is REALLY user unfriendly. the first thing you see are those 5 NSA picks of the month, and by clicking on them you get trown to download manager, I think there should some sort of confirmation where you can read a few words about, some of the pics I have no idea what I'm downloading (#2 and #3) or what #4 or #5 is going to replace.
    Next thing is to right where a box tell you how can get a model hosted at NSarmslab. I would like some sort of information what the box is for, but it just start out; NSA file requirement, it also have some capatalizion errors in the text.
    Alittle longer down the side custom files is placed, but it's just smacked on there, 1-31, titles of the creation; Mortia Compact Carabine and Ammo Stand, rather small and uninformative picture pops up and now decide whether you want to download this or not. You cant select the files using the categories, but would have been great other wise with animated menus.

    Well I think normal **** is boring and the site looks new and fresh, and looks professionally done, though there are bugs their not done yet so im expecting the finish product to be great. They got some wicked models too which i think are the best ones for ns. At least they put effort into it, respect it.
