I have to agree with momo, even though this forum looks waaaaaaaay much better, the style (look) and functions of the old forum made it look more like a developer forum. 8)

Which functions do you miss?

Actually if you havent noticed this forum has a way better code highlight system.

Code: Select all

Even SQL highlight

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE items ADD  `time_left` decimal(4,00) NOT NULL DEFAULT -1 after `mana_left`;ALTER TABLE custom_etcitem ADD  `time` int(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '-1'  after `duration`, CHANGE `duration` `duration` int(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';ALTER TABLE custom_armor ADD  `time` int(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '-1'  after `duration`, CHANGE `duration` `duration` int(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';ALTER TABLE custom_weapon ADD  `time` int(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '-1'  after `duration`, CHANGE `duration` `duration` int(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';

I dont really care about the functions, but this one is too rounded corners and the color scheme of old one was much better.

imo, make your own theme. the current L2j Pro style is basically just proSilver with a modified width, background color and header/footer image. other than that, you didn't really change anything.

i've been using, hosting, customizing phpBB for years and before migrating to vBulletin, had a pretty decent style even though i'm not a graphic design crack. but there are many people around here that are, so why not ask them to make something cool for you? replacing images and slightly altering the htm files doesn't seem hard to me, but will benefit the whole project.

a design that combines both lineage 2 and coding would be best, imo... so, you like have lineage 2 images and then some java code semi-transparent "above" the images - that's for the header. also a short description of l2j in the header, so people that stumble accross this site immediately know, what this is.

well, that's just my two cents... and just some of the ideas that struck me right now. :mrgreen:

Usage of Lineage related images: Forbbiden
Why? because 99% of the "cool" images that you can find on internet are already licensed by someone else, all the official Artwork is NC licensed, most of the fan-artwork that you can find on internet you cant contact the author of it to ask for permission to use it (YES, WE DO ASK FOR PERMISSION) so in order to prevent any copyright complain we (inner circle) agreed to dont use any l2 related images.

In this way we dont bind l2j to only l2 related engines and give a more wide ambient for its development.

Even if they are for non-commercial web sites, we dont want to use any copyrighted content from NCZ0ft. They still have rights under it and it can be a pain in the a$$ to have them behind our backs if they dont like the usage of "their" images in a website of the emulator of "their" game :P
