Alright fellas, if you don't know what Monsoonix is, don't ask. But in short, its the banner service for Soldat that unregistered users see when loading Soldat.
It's run by Michal's brother, but hasn't turned out quite as popular as it could've. So, its now a free service for anything community/soldat related.
If you'd like to advertise your service to the community, whether a popular server you host, a forum, even a mod, anything at all Soldat related and towards it's benefit, you need only send the appropriate image to me (PM me via the forums with the image) and it'll go on Monsoonix for all to see. Banners will rotate around one another, so the image'll change everytime it's loaded.
I'm also looking towards having the Monsoonix banner appear here on the forums for visitors to see, once I work it out. Can't be hard, Michal said it's doable.
There are limitations though, which are...
- Image must be 400x50 in size. Make it yourself.
- Must be in .gif format only.
- Be at or under 40kb in size.
- Be marginally popular already. I don't want every Tom, Twat and Noob sending me banners for their self-hosted realistic survival advanced WM trenchwar pointmatch server, If you're a recognised service, you're banner worthy.
- Be linked to a website (Can use a thread on these forums related to it if in doubt)
- And probably best not to have it contain images or words not suitable for our younger audiences.
- ..most likely something else i've forgot thats very important. But If I remember, i'll be very angry with you.
Fulfill these requirements and you got yourself a banner on Monsoonix. Woo! Don't spam my PM or you'll get banned!
-
Would other Soldat Sub-Gamemode forums also fall under "soldat/community related"?
-
Woha! Nice too know that! (damn! I must end my super-ultra BF2 mod hih...)
-
Try me Sytrus. Â Just so long as it's not something half-baked and fresh off some kid's imagination, know what I mean? Something that has at least a bit of shelf life and is reasonably recognised.

Alright, made a banner for SoldatPage, I guess that's the type of website you're looking for right?
Image: http://soldatpage.u13.net/dump/monsoonix_soldatpage.gif
Example:
(http://soldatpage.u13.net/dump/monsoonix_soldatpage.gif)
Size: 11 571 Bytes
Format: GIF
Link: http://soldatpage.u13.net/
Also sent this to your PM inbox. I posted this here to get some feedback on the banner if it sucks badly because SoldatPage needs the extra advertising.

Good to know this, Avarax should have a 'monsoonix' banner so even more people know about Hexer. :D

So very very true, hexer really needs to get out there to the players who haven't discovered it already.
-
Whoopsie, turns out it can only be .gif images. No .jpg's or .png's allowed apparently.
Just working out some of the kinks to the system ....can even set banners to show to those with a particular 'language', ip/ip range, hostname type, set dates for it to be shown, set times, certain days of the week, etc etc..
-
Diffrent images too?
Maybe I can make multiple banners so you don't always get to see the same SoldatPage banner.
-
Could be done guv, could be done. It's now up btw.
And wheres your grtz? Only one per thread now?
-

Tbh, many people know, but I dont believe so many people like it, which includes me.
sorry for offtopic! :(
-
Ah great, I'll make some later on.
Oh and I said in that post I sent you a PM also but considering you replied before I could write it, I didn't send the PM. I'll send the new banners trough PM if there are any.
I only end with "Grtz" when I think there is enough text inside the particular post :P.
Like now,
Grtz, DePhille

Hardly anyone clicks them anyway. I paid for like 800,000 views and only 1,000 or so actually clicked it....
-
The click-rate isn't high because it isn't a website so people want to play instead of visiting a page, but still 1000 is a lot and 800,000 views? Wow were can you get that?
-
Note the word "like", this was last year at some stage.
-
Now if only Monsoonix was on a new server so it wasn't sharing bandwidth with all of the Soldat stuff... ;)
-
...and if the forums had a lovely front news page like the old dna forums, where the monsoonix banner could be appropriately decorate for all to see... ;)

once I had the money from a certain someone for the new server, I could focus more time on the front page ;)
-
more time than a year? I asked you last feckin' June ya bastad. and I hope that certain someone isn't me, 'cos i'm stoney broke. ;)
-
nah that someone is MM. He's got the money for it but is having a hard time getting it to me
-
Michal?
Money?
But he's polish guv. I can't wait another year.
-
Meh, I guess I will make one.
I will post it when I am done.
-
Woopsie, wrong place. ^-^'
Ahem... Anyways, I always thought the new little banner thing that shows up was kind of cool.

It's too tall. It needs to be 400x50.

Okay I will make it shorter, just used the site to see what it would look like.
Is there any way at all I can have it 200x50? or does it have to be 400x50?
Never mind I read the first page.
It will be stretched, but at least it will be usable.
-
just animate it to scroll, or anything but squash something in half.
-
Nah, I am fine with this, plus I have no animation programs.

And as I think about this, shouldn't this be stickied?
-
Just to clarify: are we able to submit multiple banners for the same service? We have about three that we would like to use for SCTFL.
-
I spose my website is nothing soldat related? www.dansgfx.emdco.net
-
So community related does that mean that I can make a image with "blackdevil0742 a Soldatforums member"? :D
-
Haha I doubt it. It's mostly advertising servers and sites, not players.
-

Not exactly. I can't submit one 'item' that'll randomly swap between different banners, but i can upload multiple banners which, due to their numbers, would show up more often. Can't see why I wouldn't do that considering it's for SCTFL ...also theres other things that can be done, like having them show up to a specific date, or after, etc..
-
There should like... a standard or something. 80% of the ones that are added look disgusting / mspaint / out-of-place

I've had a few banners put forward to me in my PM also. Sorry I can't upload them today or earlier, as my PC is rather fucked. I'll see what I can do tomorrow, and if not then, later in the week.
