flashpoint-website's Issues

translations of the live website are broken

the website is using translations from master branch, which are very outdated.

translations have different placeholders from English, therefore the result strings are broken

there was also Czech option and this is also reverted

there are still BlueMaximas on the home page

Add the ability to translate webpage with Crowdin

Request
Our community should have the ability to translate the main webpage using Crowdin.
This would allow us to reach a larger set community, and it's a nice to have thing.

Solution
We can achieve this by utilizing JS. The string will be replaced with Javascript in real time when the user visits the page. Strings from Crowdin will be synced to the repo either with an integration, maybe even Github action. We can even pre-build HTML with Github Action if we don't want to opt in for real-time translations.

Extra
This has already been discussed in Flashpoint Discord at 09/19/2021.

Language selector is broken

It is not interactive at all, might be caused by d79cc8e

Edit: seems like a cache problem

svgs cut off

both the download logo and main site logo seem to be cut off

Flashpoint's Portable Windows archive has a broken shortcut file

Hopefully this is the correct repo for this issue. The shortcut that came in the 7z archive from

https://download.unstable.life/upload/fp121static.7z

which was linked at

https://flashpointarchive.org/downloads

has machine-specific paths such as
C:\Users\zelda\Downloads\newfpo\Flashpoint\Launcher\,
and launching it has started Flashpoint with the root of my drive as a working directory, resulting in an empty database & some not-that-helpful errors in the logs. It required a bit of guesswork to resolve this. Needless to say, I am not Zelda.

With the working directory corrected, Flashpoint ran just fine.

any plan to update translations regularly?

There are 4 languages 95%+ complete and 2 languages 50%+ currently. Could you consider pulling these changes regularly?

Consider adding "in press/in the news" section

Request
We have a somewhat large publicity in the social-media world (see Media @ Flashpoint Wiki ). We should consider adding these to a separate page on the main webpage.

This a request from Trello: https://trello.com/c/NrJfg1ME/57-potential-sections-to-add-to-the-website

textlogo.svg cut off

The image "https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/images/textlogo.svg" should presumably say "BlueMaxima's Flashpoint", but the last "t" appears to be cut off.
This is how it currently looks.

i18n format placeholders order

A language may have different word order from English. Consider an example sentence:

Sentence {foo} {bar}.

that will be formatted to:

Sentence <b>foo</b> <i>bar</i>.

While translating to another language, the translator might need to change the order of placeholders:

{Bar} {foo} seeeenteeeeenceeee.

This will still be formatted in the original order like this:

<b>Bar</b> <i>foo</i> seeeenteeeeenceeee.

Many i18n frameworks have placeholders with number:

Sentence {1} {2}.

these placeholders can be moved to break the order and still work.

While I really like your placeholder concept, I suggest adding a feature like this, add an order number as a prefix:

Sentence {1:foo} {2:bar}.

therefore we can translate it like this:

{2:Bar} {1:foo} seeeenteeeeenceeee.

why do the http and https versions of the site look very different?

vs

The French and Czech translations of the homepage each have a broken "Download Flashpoint" graphic

Looks like they're calling for translated versions of the graphic that aren't actually on our servers.

Add currently upcoming platforms to the Upcoming section

Visual WebMap is already there, currently we're missing:

• BitPlayer
• o2c-Player
• HotSauce

Create torrent for extracted files with directory structure as opposed to single 7zip archive

Currently, the torrent for the full Ultimate 10 package downloads the compressed 7zip archive of the project. This results in double the storage requirements for those wishing to both use the project as well as keep it seeding.

Future torrents should include all the project's files with folder structure, unarchived. This will allow simultaneous use and seeding without any additional storage requirements.
