<div class="IPBDescription">stats for ya :></div>The site has been under construction for a week or so, made by Zeikko, Synomi and rantology(graphics), and the lua-mod has been under construction for one month or so and it's finally in beta stage. The site is still in develop as you may notice so it's no-where near done(probably 5% done, not even kidding), and probably won't ever be because new ideas pop up all the time and new stuff will be added almost daily.
Lua mod is 80% done I'd say and you can put it up and running into your server(it's completely server-side so no client downloads needed) and feel free to do so but be aware that we are working on it all the time so newer versions will be released I bet almost weekly until the last 20% are done and also that once a patch pop ups we might need to update it.
If you are a server owner feel free to add me as your steam friend so I can help you with conflicts and also so I can notify you if newer version of our lua mod is available: <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197961466749/" target="_blank">http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197961466749/</a>

Cheers, hope you enjoy it, and feedback and ideas are always welcome :>

I have one question though. Usually when I play, I don´t get that much kills. This is of course severely hurting my ego. And when I shoot the skulks, they tend not do die (bad hitreg is ofc the explanation). Is there anyway to "raise" your KD if one happen to know the maker of this awesome mod?
Thanks for the feedback! The construction of the site began a week ago and the graphics design was started only couple of days ago so it is very much work in progress but it seems to be working ok with my Chrome. Is it just awful or totally broken for you?
1) Is the menu text (white color, with a blue'ish color offset) meant to be there? I could imagine it's some sort of sci-fi effect, but it doesn't work for me.
2) In a site which have heavy graphics, the graphics needs to be crisp, and unfortunately the background/side-graphics seem very GIF like (although they are pngs). I don't know if it's because they are drawn, but I don't like them very much. That's obviously personal preference though.
3) The page is a mess in terms of how it's coded. Look into display: table; display: table-row; display: table-cell; in order to produce tables in a better manner, this will also ensure that it will have great version compability, without even trying much. Generally <table> is a no-go in these days.
4) Don't have the changelog as a plain-text document, or at least if you do, make an effort to extract the data and style it so it matches the site.
Nr. 3 you can obviously also just tell me to gtfo with, it works regardless :)
Are you using a self-built framework, or an open source one? It 'could' look like you're using CodeIgniter, if you do, thumbs up. Also look into javascript/jQuery. Stuff like ajax and subtle animation adds tons to a framework. You could also look into jQuery UI which is great.
Much of this is obviously personal preference, but hey :)
All the menu headings (the blue background andwhite text) are placeholders.
The table element is a default widget offered by the framework. I will hopefully replace it soon with some self made code.
The changelog and progress are for project management for now. We will focus on more important stuff than fixing them right now.
We're using Yii framework, jQuery and jQuery UI. We're not using the jQuery a lot yet apart from some tabs and Ajax functionality.
As said earlier the work on the website has just been started, so bear with us and check it out after a week or two and hopefully you'll like what you see then.
I use it all the time and it's great!
Edit: But in all seriousness, god damn this is awesome. Good job!
For now it's only for server admins to add their servers to the ns2stats network. You can do this by clicking the "Add Server" link after logging in. You can also find your own profile easily by logging in and then clicking "My Stats" link. We might add some more functionality for logged in users only later.
With your current steam name
Anyways, I finally got this working. I should probably refrain from this stuff at 4am.

Just LOL.
Ah, cool. Design feedback then: Have a "My Stats" link with "(requires steam login)", and a separate link/section for "Server Admins" with instructions. You should also post about this in the <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showforum=118" target="_blank">server discussion</a> section since thats where a lot of the server peeps hang out.

Prepare yourself for stats grinding servers, coming to a Naturally Selected server near you this summer :P
EDIT - OH WAIT! Also - Guys could you get in contact with me? hugh@unknownworlds.com ? I have an idea about how to promote your work and do something really really cool besides...
Squad 5 nominations are in order people!
I think you got that backwards.
:D
