Challenge-TV.com facelift (36 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by !phil @ 12:34 CDT, 10 March 2009 - iMsg

Challenge-TV.com, the age-old demo repository that was started in 2000 by dethkultur, Hoony, DonKing and Agent, has recently undergone a major face lift, update and upgrade. CH-TV is now graciously hosted by endpoint.nu and development is ongoing. Check out the work in progress on challenge-tv.com.

CH-TV caters to demos and replays of all kinds, with an extensive collection from all the Quakes, Enemy Territory, Broodwar and Starcraft, ZDaemon, Warsow, and more. Some of the new additions to the site include a customizable RSS feed and front page game preferences.

This site is really good. Clean layout with functionality all over the place.

I hope the quake(all versions) community show some kudos!

All demos missing!

However, I do like the Shambler loading gif in the top left!

Good, useable layout. It seems to be broken ATM though when I try to look at demo comments.

All demos is currently under "demo list" on top

Shambler loading gif should be in the center... Bug ;P but it works half-assed for now so I'm not focusing on it.

I think you should really consider fixing all these nasty bugs on the website before making an announcement. This looks very unsafe for now.

We've had the beta-test link up for a couple weeks now. And the old version is still a click away

If you do find something unsafe please tell me. Thanks

How can I filter by ET/RTCW demos?

<< Comment #20 @ 17:07 CDT, 10 March 2009 >>

donka ' - Reply to #10

RTCW: http://challenge-tv.com/demos/game/20
ET: http://challenge-tv.com/demos/game/39

For other games you can go to
http://challenge-tv.com/index_old.php?mode=de...rchtext=ET
and change ET to something else. Then mouse over the game link and at the end of URL you will see the number

You can also (after you are logged in) go to "My CHTV" on top and drag-drop the top 5 games from a full list of games for which there are demos.

There will be a more comprehensive list of games/events/types/etc on the new site soon, like there is on the old site.

edit: give me more ideas for customizations a-la "My CHTV"

Thanks! The entire visual design is the work of XantoM aka vikpe aka arcsin.se (Although I did hack it a bit to template it around my code)

Looks good, nice job on the redesign! :)
Just one minor issue: When clicking on the "Upload Demo" button, it goes back to the old lay-out.

LESS MORONIC DATE FORMATTING PLS

03/10/09 wat

<< Comment #29 @ 06:17 CDT, 11 March 2009 >>

It does seem strange to have US date formatting given that it seems to be primarily in use by european players, but then it is a US site created by an american and maintained by another american.

So then either let the user choose with a never expiring cookie whether to use dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy. ez

It shall be done

edit: done, change the default date format by changing the "Short date format" in your profile
