The Ultimate "trance Is Gay" Compo Is Open!

Omg, thank you everyone!

Yes, that’s the 16% in me Certainly the vocals are highpitched and autotuned

That’s a great suggestion. I really have to fight with webspace, so thanks! I’ll compress it to rar with the new url, so I’ll hit two birds with one shot.
And once again: Thank you all!

Sagosen:

I HATE YOU!!! THAT WAS THE IDEA FOR THE 3RD PRICE I WAS THINKING OF

btw. the 1st price will be a very special one

The logo itself is gay… erm I mean cool
But does it fit also into the maindesign of the page?

I checked and read the entire site.
I have to say that I really like it, which makes me worry a little bit about my sexuality.

I’m sorry…

…kisses?

Bantai: If you need some help with the voting system, I could probably help you out, PHP right ?

I´d also go for 3 if you ask me but way simpler. (We don´t need floodcontrol and other stuff I think)

I don´t know either if this would work out but you could make a simple kind of guestbook for each entry with a few tables (like name, comment, rate) but without having every comment and rate on the screen.

could look something like that:

I only want to make suggestions for the look like here since my php abilities are not really mentionable (yet)

edit

new revision 8 looks wonderful
Also no glitches with Mozilla

First of all, i wouldn’t use javascript and i wouldn’t do pop-ups since a lot of browsers surpress pop-up windows and the technique used at cdrwinkel.com doesn’t work in e.g. Mozilla FireFox. (latest edition)

Using guestbooks scripts to tinker with is great for getting ideas on how you can figure out a solution, but i would program things from scratch.

The best option is to use MySql database and use ideas from e.g. PHPBB.
Not only do you have a good structure with the phpBB-idea, it is a good core for different compo’s because you can change the the layout-style and design and it gives the opportunity to do whatever you want with the web-layout.

The data is in the database and will remain always the same, it’s just being pulled from it and structured on the webpage.

It is much work to do if you have never done this before, but what works most when being busy with PHP, is just rip out snippets of code of existing scripts and play with it, this gives a good build-up learning curve:

• You discover how the details work of a script
• You learn to know how to use it
• You learn know how to combine it with other functions, because you try and figure it out
• It’s fun and addictive.
• You build up the structure from scratch so it will be your own core script design even though you stole the ideas from existing scripts, but this is how the world works.

Leave me a mail + attachment if the site is not to big (max. 3MB inbox)

ptrance.de/tigc - I don´t want to register a new domain for now…except if we get famous

Nopf

No… only an***ex will do that

http://ptrance.de/tigc is live now

Which reasons exactly? I can not really imagine why a listener wants to have lofi files since he can get the sources and is able to encode them for his own pleasure afterwards.

On the other side if we get visitors outside from the community it would be of course a good idea.

Dunno, try to convince me please

btw.

I think I´ll go spamming the compo these days on various sites. (e.g. CTG)

Good idea

No need for nedstat, I can see it… and from where they came

Ofcourse!

erm… well, I´d actually like to receive a t-shirt someday since i don´t think that I´ll ever win a beatbattle

In this thread I would also like to mention Renoise underwear.

I don´t know,
maybe it would be better to host the entries after all to ensure that we won´t get thousands of broken links in the future.

I would actually vote for that solution but then I´ll get a problem putting the Longtrack (which I still hope we finish “this” year) onto the server

Hey, thanks. I’ll upload exactly that file tomorrow.

edit: the link is valid now.

I can offer free hosting of the songs…at least or a month or so…that is if you need it.

email me at the following address if you want to set it up.

sonus at djsonus.com

And I can mirror, no prob. My ftp isn’t up ALL the time, but it can be an alternative, don’t ya think?

Maybe the filename should be simply tigc.txt?
I will add it to the rar.

I must have missed this post, sorry:

Yes, just keep the link. I will simply change the full version ogg to a preview version.

edit: changed the sentence to a non-confusing one.

Sonus & Sagosen:

You rule

Bantai:

The information file is a good idea. I think every good compo should have a file-id or something.

btw. is someone here into ascii-graphics?
