Liloz01 1,256 / 19,820 Report Post Posted June 19, 2021 As it may be clear, I haven't really done much in GFL for the past few weeks besides the odd bug fix, argument, explanation, suggestion, and Forum feature change/addition. The reason for this is pretty plain and simple: I'm a university student with garbage time management skills. I had effectively ignored a few assignments right up until final deadlines were due - luckily, I had some friends, prior work, and coffee to help me not fail. I wrote a total of 32,494 words within 4 days (in word documents alone, not counting code, presentations, etc.) and submitted my last two assignments yesterday to a "passable standard" which means I am now done for this academic year (...subject to internal/external review). I really hope to transfer universities for my final year, to put it simply, the one I'm at SUCKS. The network is consistently down, I.T. facilities blow dick, the university provides me with nothing but a JetBrains Education/Microsoft 365 license (this is a real kicker since three of our assignments required the use of Adobe Creative Cloud/Autodesk/other softwares... we were promised licenses but never got any), teachers consistently let "stuff slide" for students (seemingly randomly - but never for me!), other facilities such as the gym and library also suck. It's a very highly rated university in terms of outcomes - great employability statistics and "student satisfaction" ratings but... I don't see it; I have a few friends already at the university I'd like to go to and they're very happy, outcome statistics are similar too. I'm yet to get confirmation that I can transfer, but the admissions team says it is "almost certain" that I can. Thank god. With university deadlines out of the way I can move ahead with three projects I've really wanted to get my head stuck into... the new "GFL Store", "GFL Server List" and "GFL Homepage". Over the coming weeks I'm going to be working on the design of these pages... I'll be making separate forum posts every now and again to show how the design process is going and so that feedback can be gathered. For anyone interested in timescales, what to expect first... etc. I would say don't get excited any time soon. These three projects are going to take months to be released, but the Homepage should come first... Server List second... and finally the Store. I'd estimate the design will be "done" within the year. Then implemented within 3 months after that. "If I were given an hour in which to do a problem upon which my life depended, I would spend 40 minutes studying it, 15 minutes reviewing it and 5 minutes solving it." - Albert Einstein or some shit. That's all really. If anyone is interested in helping out with the design process, DM me or respond here... no technical knowledge is required, there's plenty of ways anyone can help! If you're a manager and reading this, expect me to be DM'ing you about GFL Store related shit soon. I'll try at least 3 times with every manager but if you don't respond you're just gonna get left out. Thanks for reading. *Edited to add a rant about how my current university is shit Contact me here or on Discord @Liloz01#9857 For help with anything Forum related: https://gflclan.com/contact/ or https://gflclan.com/forum/18-support/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liloz01 1,256 / 19,820 Report Post Posted July 14, 2021 Given recent changes... (Roy leaving, the Forums being far more broken than before, real life obligations, lol) GFL StoreTM has been delayed! Wooooo... I think we've worked out a pretty quick and easy solution for it though, which is simply: pay someone else who has already done all the hard work. It's likely that we're just going to buy a solution like Ember or Promethus for GMod/Rust... SDonate for CS:GO and mash them altogether into GFL Store. This is a pretty good solution for the short term, and over time we can add our own custom goodies. Anything more than our current system (just two global roles) will be an improvement. I've been in contact with a few Server Managers and it seems that they don't really have large plans in terms of selling stuff. Though, I'm sure, over time more ideas of what to sell will come. That's about it. Gonna spend a lot of time fixing Forum stuff now. Thanks!
