A) ...see the Virtual Sailor Shipyard properly up-to-date again?
Yesterday, I started the huge task of getting my site properly up-to-date again. I aim to have all available links to all available Virtual Sailor stuff on it, so you won't need to visit multiple sites to find what you're looking for. And because people might not like me direct linking to files on their webspace, I'll also be adding a link to the download page instead of the file itself. It'll be a big task doing this and I doubt it would take me less than a few weeks. Especially since I'm going to redo all the download file lists to make sure they're completely properly working. If you would like to give me a hand, that might greatly speed up things. In attached file, you can find the work I've been doing yesterday. I started putting all scenery's with all their download links into that Excel file by browsing all Virtual Sailor websites (obviously I'm not done yet). If anyone would be wanting to do the same with the boats, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I'll just do it myself, but that would most likely take longer.
Also: If you have any comments on how I might improve the workings of my site, now would be the time to come up with them. And please don't ask me to implement a search feature, unless you know a way of making a searchable database, because I haven't got the slightest idea how to.
Final note: Please also speak up if you think there's no actual need for my site having everything available on it again, like it used to. If it's unnescesary, I'd much better do something else. Something like:
B) ...see me do another ship model?
I'd very much like to do another ship model soon. Personally, I'm thinking of either of these three options:
1) A self-designed clipper called the "Golfkliever"
2) A rebuild of the MS Bremen
3) A different cruiseship
If you have another good idea, feel free to post it, as long as it's a large modern ship of a type we don't have enough of in VS. I don't like building smaller ships and older type ships are rather hard, especially texture-wise and I'm not good at textures at all. Also: I want to make a model that would sort-of fill a void in the VS ship assortment, so I'm not going to make some boat of a type we already have dozens of.
Whatever model I will make, I would very much like to put the most detail in it of all my models and, for the first time, actually add the large interior I'm wanting to add. I would especially like to build the "Golfkliever" with an entire sub-deck of interior. I already mapped out the interior of that ship years ago, so I'd very much like to build it.
I've no suggestions as such, but I'll have a think and get back to you...
