I just applied for an apartment yesterday, so providing I get approved, I'll finally be living on my own...yay! Anyways, there was some question on whether or not I'd be able to continue paying for the MS servers since I'd be paying nearly twice as much as I'm used to for rent. The answer is yes. I've calculated all my expenses through 2004, and providing everything goes as planned, I'll have more than enough money. Just thought I'd ease anyone's fears...if you had them  Razz . Just to let everyone know, especially those that have sites hosted on MS, there will be some server additions/moves in the near future. We're increasing space while cutting costs, so it's something that should be done. The way I have things planned, we'll still be continuing hosting, but it is possible that MS and/or it's hosted sites may go down for a day or two. It's just as possible that everything will go smoothly and you won't even notice the interuption. This is going to increase our space by about 1300MBs, as well as increase our bandwidth by 80 or so GB's per month, for a mere $5 more than it's costing me now...so you can see why I'm making the switch  Very Happy . A lot of you wanted to know if there was anything you could do to help out the site. Right now I'm not looking for any permanent staff, though this could change in the future. Right now we need you to think of suggestions that will make this site unique, as well as scour the net and your hard drives for resources we can use. If you like reviewing TK games like Haraldur does, then this can be very helpful as well. Although they're not all up at the moment, we have the only archive of reviews available, and its something we should definately expand on. Again, thanks for all your support. Hopefually we'll all see some good things come out of this site this year.

Good news just keeps on coming! Could there be a huge TK revival this year?

Hey DarkElite, I checked out your site. Front page is looking good, but none of the links work =/. Your logo's look awesome! I'd add a little more to the design of the page though. You've got no borders anywhere or anything. Oh, and make the midi optional. Although it sounds fairly good, not many people like hearing music on webpages...especially dial-up users, who have to wait for it to download.

Look at the Toolkit Game Reviews forum on these forums.

No, sorry I don't. Matt72186 may though. Or Mike Hill...or even maybe Xorlak... I haven't messed around with that much. I just linked to the midi's on my godivaalpha.com site as if they were pages, so if someone clicks on them, they'll play in Media Player (or whatever player they're linked to on that persons comp).

I think it will be a good idea if you can somehow tie in all these great sites such as the rpg code shack/tk game reviews within the MS main site.... right now they are like separate sites that kind of look like they have nothing to do with MS. Just a small logo exchanged on top of each site will makes a big difference...

As for new resources and such... well, Spyder...  there's not much I can do in return for your great/free hosting, but maybe I can attempt to do some exclusive graphic related tutorials for MS on perhaps a monthly basics...

use this darkelite

Code: [Select]
<embed src="http://www.sitename.com/d1/d2/music.wav" loop=true autoplay=false width=145 height=60></embed>
heres wqhat everything means...

www.sitename.com - your site name

d1 & d2 - your directories (i.e. the page its located on and where its located)

music.wav - the midi you want to play

there that should work...

EXAMPLE!

<embed src="http://blahblah.mysticsoftware.net/index.html/MUSIC.wav" loop=true autoplay=false width=145 height=60></embed>

Yep. That should do it. Sadly, it takes up a small portion of DarkElite's page. If anything, he should add it to the bottom on it's very own DivLayer.
