Shadow - so edgy it hurts

So!

I posted about this a while ago while it was in its very infancy, showing off some screenshots and the likes. It has now evolved a bit and I've been able to recruit a small team, so we'll be expanding it a bit in the future (more on that will be presented later).

The biggest change is not to the software itself, but the fact that it's now being developed by "Shady Ventures", hence my avatar. The team so far involves myself, Atebite and Duck. Atebite and Duck will be working on some neat in-game features (sending logs to Shadow to begin with), but we have more plans for the future.

Every piece of code will be open source (except a possible future easter egg, but you will be able to remove the encrypted code without anything breaking). The code for both in-game and web can be seen at https://github.com/ShadyVentures/shadow-web and https://github.com/ShadyVentures/shadow-game. Anyway - enough about the background. Time to show off progress so far!

Thus far I've focused on perfecting the view as much as I can, and I think I've done alright. It is not mobile friendly yet (or what I would call mobile friendly, anyway), but it may be in the future. If anyone here knows how to write CSS (preferably using LESS), please let me know. Here are some screenies!

The primary screen / index


Example of a character page


Player page


Search [results]


The search function is extremely basic right now and you can search by character names, player names and Steam Names and the likes. Make note that you see some characters being repeated, that's because it checks _SteamID in both the characters and players tables. The queries are as follows:

$sql_c = "SELECT _Key, _Name, _SteamID, _SteamName FROM characters WHERE _Name LIKE ? OR _SteamName LIKE ? OR _SteamID LIKE ?";
$sql_p = "SELECT _Key, _SteamID, _SteamName FROM players WHERE _SteamName LIKE ? OR _SteamID LIKE ?";

Anyway - I hope this will turn out to be useful for some people in the future. Here's a broken staging copy (the database is all kinds of fucked) http://shadow.stg.shady.software/#/app - but you can click around at least.

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, throw them at me.

Character/player management. Just haven't put in the write/edit features yet.

I agree

 

New feature added



You can now search for specific items, and even by usergroup. That's just the beginning, hopefully. Other than that you can do freetext search (sort of). More to come!

 

Mmmmmmm, all of those breadcrumbs.

 

I'm actually pretty interested in this. Keep it going!

Also hi Corb

 

I posted this in the wrong thread originally so heres a login page

 

When I try to log in with steam I get an error and it won't log in.

Bumping! I'm working on this every now and then again. I've had to upgrade the framework I used since the old one broke, but it's working again in its old state. Given the fact I had to rewrite most of it I also took the liberty of messing around with a design framework, so this is what it looks like currently


It'll still be open source but may be slightly difficult for people who aren't experienced to install. I was thinking of maybe providing hosting for communities that needed it (not server or website hosting -- Shadow exclusively). Gonna take a look at that later, though.

Also working for support for the framework which we do not mention here (https://github.com/author of a different framework/N**Script/issues/527) so this should hopefully be fun.

Let me know what you guys think about the hosting idea. If I'm gonna charge for it, it'll be $5 or something each quarter or yearly.

 

thats another nightangel i swear! :x

 

This is looking really awesome! Looking forward to it.

 

So it's basically that thingy the old forums had where you could see each character get loaded up on each server, but enhanced.
kool

 

"shady people"
I wonder if atebite is involved in this

Also Khub works on this? Nice.

 

i'd imagine atebite, alexanderk, and duck

i don't know, and cannot confirm, however.

 

No one else is working on it but me anymore

 

-snip-

 

I guess abandoned/discontinued until further notice.

edit: i guess not

 

@RuBiX https://github.com/skarphet/shadow try that.
