Forum Refresh Error Fixed

After a couple of hours of forum tests, SW Chris determined that the mods he installed were not causing the problem (originally we thought it was SuperMod). It turns out it was something with our host; Hasweb. The bug has since been resolved and the forums are back to their regular glory.

You can all finally give your poor F5 buttons a well deserved rest. 😛

New News Script! Yay!

I was sitting here in my dorm room very bored. I thought about SW City and the website. Then I thought of how long ago I installed Newspro onto the webspace and I KNEW that there was something better out there.

After about 5 minutes of searching I came upon a script called PHPNews and had a hell of a time trying to install it. After about 3 hours of failed attempts and even having conversation with the creator, I gave up and went with this script: CuteNews!

It allows so many different things so if you’re interested, browse on over to the CuteNews website and check it out. Probably the most notable difference is comments. O,O Anyway, have fun with it. Its 10x less clunky than Newspro.

Additions to Downloads Page

Added the Universal Teleports List (UTL) and a newer version of RGB Picker because the old seems to be screwed or something.. O_o It also has a neat feature that the other does not. Enjoy…or else! O_O

Masking Galore

I’ve added a list of many new masks to the SW City Builders Academy masking section and got rid of that annoying, stupid drop-down menu with the masks in it. Now you can just view any mask you like as they are all sitting there in a bunch. O_O

If you’d like a visual representation of what some of these masks look like, Ryan has put together quite an impressive collection of pictures of different masks for the AWNewbie website. You can view either list of masks by clicking here for list #1 or clicking here for list #2. They were made for boonies but can sure come in handy for any expert.

I know I promised a new Academy website, but I can’t decide whether to design a whole new website for it or just plop it into one of the SW City Website templates and just change the colours. 😛
