New AGS site release

Quote from: RootBound on Sun 26/01/2025 16:19:05Just a small thing, but when you click on a "download" button from a game page, the text changes to "downloading" before sending you to the game's website. Given that no games are actually hosted on the AGS website, having the text say something like "connecting" or "redirecting" instead of "downloading" might eliminate that few seconds of misinformation where the button indicates that a download has started.

Fixed! It says "redirecting" now. If you don't see it immediately, please try a hard refresh.

Quote from: RootBound on Sun 26/01/2025 19:47:13Another thing--I'm almost certain that some of my games had gold-cup player ratings (Tunnel Vision did, I think--it has 5 comments), however this seems to have not carried over to the new site. Has the number of ratings to display a gold-cup rating increased? Curious if anyone else has noticed this with their own games.

The logic is still the same; you need a minimum of 5 votes (note: this is different to the number of comments).

It was a bug, that's fixed now. You should see your gold cups again.

Quote from: Laura Hunt on Sun 26/01/2025 20:31:02Another issue I've noticed: when I first registered on the website, my username was "notarobotyet", but I later changed it to the one I'm using now. The new site, however, is showing the old one both in the top right user menu and in the credits of my games (and games I've collaborated in). For example, here.

This also means I have two different profile URLs depending on where you are:

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/profile/Laura%20Hunt/ or https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/profile/Laura+Hunt/ on the forums.

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/profile/notarobotyet/ on the new site.

I changed my username because the first one was just meant to be a crappy placeholder, so I hope this can be fixed at some point.

It should be updated in both places now to your "Laura Hunt" username

Thanks for all the feedback so far, really appreciate it!

The new site is very impressive. I especially like the new games database.

Just one question: How do I edit a game's page in the database if I want to make some changes? I just uploaded my MAGS game and I can't see a way to edit the page now.

Thanks for putting all this work into the new site!

The Actions menu under the image gallery should give you an Edit Game link?

Doesn't save the changes though.

Doesn't really matter at the moment, since I just wanted to tweak the title a bit.

Very cool to login and see this! congrats to all involved.

nitpicky comments:

Spoiler

- I miss the word "Games" from the menu options, "Play" seems less clear imo. "Play Games"?
- "Search" might be clearer that it's the full database if it was "All Games (Search)."
- I zoom 150% on the forums, and it used to look fine on the main site.. but it's too much now. I don't know if I can separate these in firefox somehow. (maybe this is my problem.)

It works now, thanks!

Clicking on the orange "new" button always takes me to the first post on the first page of the thread and not to the one that is new to me.

Sorry, looks like I spoke too soon. My awards nomination page still shows the old username for some reason.

Quote from: Danvzare on Sun 26/01/2025 20:37:23I'm not sure if it's related to the new site, or if I just mis-clicked a bunch. But clicking the last post link on the forum, sometimes took me to the first post instead. It seemed to be completely random as well.

Just so you know, it's still happening, and now I'm certain it wasn't because I mis-clicked a bunch. This time I've recorded which threads it happened with as well.
🏆 AGS Awards 2024 - Nominate!
Fireflies - Objects And Best Way to Turn Them Off or On
AGS 4.0 - Alpha 18 for public test
ENGINE PLUGIN: Clipboard v0.4
I usually like to open up tabs for the latest replies of all of the threads, whenever I visit the forum. So it's very noticeable when I suddenly end up on the first page

Hopefully fixed now? Should be correct in the header, game credits, and Awards nominations?

What does not saving the changes entail? Do you get any error messages? Or does it give a success message but without actually saving?

AGA · Mon 27/01/2025 23:36:15

All the forums weirdness seems to due to the "pretty" URL rewrites not being quite correct. I'll fix them as soon as I can!

The "like" button seems to be broken.

Yes, thank you!

I suddenly can't access anything from the top menu anymore. Messages inbox, create new message, search, staff list,... all only show the index page. The wiki link leads to a white page.
The only thing that works is the alert list.
