Title: February Update 1/2
Post by: Redlinelies on February 01, 2012, 10:52:25 am
Updates for February

Time to say goodbye to January and move into a new month here at FeralHeart. I'm sure everyone is back and playing on the server again after the what I believe was a very long week of Offline time for some here in the community. The server is now back online though and everyone can get back to their old FeralHeart schedule. If you by ANY chance missed why the server was down, or need to re-read, the notice can still be found here! (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=17070.0)

As always we have some changes we like to point out to you guys what has been made during the last month here on the site and forum. Hopefully you all will be pleased with the changes done, it's for you most of them is made in the first place, so time for some new stuffz!

Site/Board changes
After close to a year with the same home page to FeralHeart, we have now done some changes to make it a lot easier for both new and old members to get directed to locations/information they are looking for right of the site home page. The links contain things such as rules for the game and forum, links to the FH manual and help section, or just fun links to our DeviantArt or Radio Station. Feel free to take a look if you haven't.
//Edited Home page (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=1)//

Not only has the front page gotten some well needed attention, but the old "Documentation" part of the site has now been renamed to Manuals (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=33) and has been worked on and is still going to get updated and changed further into this upcoming month. One great addition is that we do now have a proper tutorial on how to make simple Terrainmasks (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7&Itemid=10) on the site. Users has been pointing this out to us for a while, but it has always been postponed for various reasons, now it's there though thanks to Delay that took their time writing it. We have also sorted out a new main manual page, and finally updated the controls manual (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=27). This will make it more friendly for those new users actually visiting that section and more welcoming to re-direct these members to, but also give the site a more professional look. As mentioned though there will be more changes and updates to come for that section soon enough!

Quite some updates and edits are done over at the FH site lately, and another one is that we have rewritten and polished the old Forum rules (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=16560.0). This thread should now be more easier to read in general and feel more up to date. Feel free to read them once again now when the thread has been changed.

Since there has been talk about making the forum more friendly when surfing on phones and other devices we now have a WAP version of the forum, this is a really simple way if you just want to check up on the posts itself and stay updated on the go.
http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&wap2 (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&wap2)

Events & kewl sturf
During this month we threw up a quick signature contest, the idea of this was to let the users choose their favorite already existing signature on the whole forum. The voting and nomination were all in your paws, and the most liked signature was by noone other than our Ramine (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&action=profile&u=70181)! Seems like kittens is still the "hot stuff".

For you others that missed out on this lil contest, a new is hosted right now for those who feel at home when it comes to literature and writing stories, check out the Writing Contest (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=17450.0) and share your stories with the forum.

Another thing worth mentioning is that our DA group(That can be found easily on the front page or under the banner), has also received a little treat this month. If you aren't that active or just have missed up on the changes, the Feralheart-Art (http://feral-heart-art.deviantart.com/) is now a DA Supergroup. It should be more enjoyable for anyone to browse around in the group and see our community's purdy art. Why not take a look?

Also being introduced is a prize system to our Monthly Preset Contest. You can read more about it here (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=17497.0).
Lets take this time to mention that the contest has three new judges contributing to the grading of each preset: Ramine, Sameth, and Zaephyr.

Side note
We have a few things to mention here on the side this month, but if you are online fairly often here on the forums you might already knew that Delay were promoted earlier in January, and is now an Administrator here on the forum, they have always been a helping hand here around the community and will no doubt keep being one. They will be here to answer your as much as ever and help to take care of the boards and keep things up to date.

Admin promotion aside, I should also put out that the staff has been pleased with Sameth as MIT, and now they have been promoted to a Moderator here on the Forum. We are most certain they will do their best around here, and will be a great addition to the staff.

And if you missed out we also have yet another MIT Ramine, which has been helping on the forum for quite a while already and should be active and easily in reach for you guys if help would be needed.

We hope February will be a nice month here on the forum and wish that everyone will do their best to keep that thought in mind. Thanks for reading, and be sure to read the next month update as well.

If you guys got any questions feel free to PM the Mods here on the forum.

Thanks~ Redrawr outz

Ramine will make a great addition to the staff/volunteers on this site and game. ;) You guys chose well with her! And Huzzah to the new month, may things go more smoothly than the last lol.

EDIT: Feel a bit like an OCD stinker for adding this, but there are some words spelled incorrectly on the home page, and grammatical issues as well. ;_; Not like it really matters, but it kinda just makes the official page...look less official? That or I'm just weird, which is still probably true LOL. Can they be fixed at a later date yus plz?

Sure thing windance, since the old text is mostly accurate of what FH is it got left as it were, just updated the main look. We will look into the spelling/grammatical errors close to instantly, feel free to point them out in a PM of what you believe should be corrected and we will gladly sort that.

Congrats to the new selected people. Have a fun,safe, and venterous journey on the forum.

I wish you the bestest luck Sameth, for you are a mod that one day I can see will become a global mod. Just be yourself, don't try to be someone you wanna be because that can lead you astray. If you need guidance i am here. I will always be at your side if you fall even with your mighty strenght. One day nothing will be able to make you topple for you will be like the tallest skyscraper.

Going to mention this in this news thread again, news threads are not help threads, there's a help section here on the forum.

Though I do believe many of these "pray" meshes people use are directly taken from the game Impressive title.

I love the new things going on with feral heart. However just today when I have tried to get on the game itself, it continuously says that it isn't working. I am re-downloading the game as we speak to see if that my be the problem. Having already uninstalled feral heart I am praying this works.

You can always make that X3 then go to that in the Cape of Distant Worlds. I might make a map like that, that's a good idea O.O I'm interested in Greek Mythology and Mount Olympus.
