Future Site Content
I'd just like to throw a quick rundown of stuff we're working on for the site's page content. As you've probably noticed it's woefully empty right now, aside from a couple of FAQ entries and the couple of game servers listed on the still unfinished servers page. Spagett is doing almost all of the backend work for overhauling the navigation bar and putting in things I throw at him. He's a real champ.
Before I ramble on about the future, I'd like to point out the existing FAQ entries that explain what a redirect is and provide a tutorial on L4D search key usage.
The real attraction is going to be the revised, categorized and revamped cvarlist for L4D, with possibly an equivalent for TF2. I'm going to be breaking out the fine-tooth comb to untangle the current plain-text list, and using a tag system to categorize all of the cvars for easy navigation. For example, a cvar that adjusts the percent chance of a witch spawning in L4D versus mode will be tagged "witch", "director", "spawning" or other relevant terms that users can easily search for. We might have either a tag list or swarm (like many social media sites have), but at the least we'll throw in a search engine.
Fixing the media player is a priority, but a somewhat low one. Server resources are a big part of what I do here, so I'd like to have the cvarlist sorted and posted ASAP. I do need ideas on what could be useful in that section aside from that, though. There will definitely be a page for server owners that would like to set up a content mirror on Apex-Games, but any ideas would be welcome. Slide me an email (see sidebar banner) or post in the comment thread.
Keep checking in, hopefully we'll get some more site features and content up. Preferably without breaking things.
