Title: Overhaul - Updates


Magically Chaotic - October 3, 2007 01:51 AM (GMT)
AML will be closing for a short time for an overhaul in a few weeks. The exact date as of now is unknown. Once things at work have sloweddown for the season and we start the winter duties, I will only be workinga few days a week and will have time to do what I want to do.

Until then, I wish to wrap up this current plot. I may be forced to make things happen IC to move things along. I really don't want to do this, so please help a girl out and start posting. :)

When I know when things will start to slow down, I will give people three days to finish posting and then AML will be set Offline. We will also experience another Time Jump to get the next plotline started.

So work has actually been more busy than I'd anticipated. I've still been wotking like mad trying to get the things I wanted done on the site. Here is a list of things that are complete, not complete, or started and so on, just to give everyone an idea of what has been done:

COMPLETE
  • Species List - There is a more completed form for each species on AML; Demons, Dragons, Dragon Riders, Demonriders, Elementals, Gods and Goddesses, Gypsies, Shadows, Vampires, Warlocks, Werewolves, and Witches are the current list. There is also a SPecies Guide since many of the new aspects need some explanation. If you would like to see another species on this list, please let me know and I will add it.
  • Site Summary - This gives the basic premise of AML including our basic plot, what the site is based on, references and and brief overview of the history of Sekhmet.
  • RP Dictionary - A thread of terms used during an RP. It was taken from another source, which has been cited in the thread. It will also be added to as necessary.
  • New Profile Template - Yes, I know, we've had a few. But I think this will be the final edition. I wanted the profiles to be more in depth so that we all can know the character better, including the player. They also look much more professional. If you would like to see a sample of this, take a look at any of the Major or Minor Characters. There have also been a few of the Original Characters who have updated their profiles, having seen the new format. IF you wish to do the same, I suggest it since you may have a lot of work to do. If yo uneed help with the graphics, pelase let me know and I will help you.
  • FAQ Section[/b] - Self explanitory. If you have any ideas to add to the list, let me know.
IN THE WORKS
  • Character Index[/b] - This will be a forum which contains the biographies (which will have a new name after the revamp). It will focus on the charcater's powers and will be updated on a regular basis for members to refer to when interacting with the character.

    Powers - By the time we hit the revamp date (Which is still unknown) all powers will have all their abilities up to level twelve. They will also have more detail about them including different classifications. There will be a guide to explain what certain terms mean. This is complete, I am only working on the different abilities at each level. This is also the hold up for the Index.

    Thread Graphics - I am working on banners for the first post of location threads. They will depict the general idea of what they look like and give yo usomething to work with when posting because there will also be a minimum sentence count for posts after the revamp.
TO DO
  • Graphics Mall[/b] - This section will be for members to create their own 'shops' to create graphics for members. It will also be a place to share graphics you have created, board related or not.
  • Guest Forum[/b] - Rather than only being able to post in the Help Desk or something, there will be a separate forum specifically designed for guests where they can post with questions and interact with members. The Member OOC forum will then be hidden to guests until they become members.

There are also a few other things that I am working on, but they will be a surprise for later. ;)

If you have any questions or ideas, please let me know!

UPDATE

I am more than happy to announce that the following things are all that is [currently] left on my To Do List. Yes, I actually have a To Do List in my own private little forum. ;)
  • New Skin
  • New buttons/graphics for skin
  • New Character graphics
  • Finish Dragon Riders info
  • Finish AML Library (Still going to take some time)
  • Finish the Power Level Abilities for each power in the list
  • Add a new feature which I will not divulge until it is time ;)
  • Create Pre-made characters/OC's for members to audition for
  • Finish individual pictures for locations threads
  • Impliment new elements
  • Add a few new forums and categories
  • Add a few new codes
  • Finish AML Timeline
  • Finish AML family tree

Considering my list used to be about ten times that long, this is a good thing. :lol: There are probably a few things that I forgot, and more that I will think of, but that's the basics.
