New Website

I rewrote the website over the summer to modernize the look & feel and (hopefully) make the codebase less intimidating for future webmasters.

Major changes

  • Friendlier URLs (http://wolverinesoft.org/member.php?uniqname=clawr is now http://wolverinesoft.org/member/clawr)
  • Google calendar integration for events
  • Nested comments
  • Easy comment formatting (try commenting on this post and see the Formatting help link below the comment box
  • You are notified when you log in if somebody replies to a comment, post, article, or game you made
  • The ability to upload more than one screenshot for games
  • Privacy settings for contact information
  • Any member can submit and vote on links
  • Back-end stuff that nobody cares about but me

Counter-Strike: Source Server

I have set up a Counter-Strike: Source server at the following address:

wsoft.servecounterstrike.com

I've installed the following mods (obviously not all active at the same time):

  • Deathmatch
  • RPG
  • Hide and Seek (Terrorists choose a model of an inanimate object and CTs try to find them)
  • Gun Game
  • Zombie
  • Flamethrower
  • Jetpack
  • admin commands like slay, burn, rocket, etc

If you have other fun mods you like to play, tell me about them and I will see if they will work with the current setup.
