proposal to the site

[Sujaum]

First of all, i'm sorry for the giant text, it wasn't my intention. I like the site a lot, it has almost all information I needed, but the site itself could have some change.
I don't know if it's just for me, but it looks a little disorganized in some sections. For exemple, in the faq's & guides part, all text are in txt format. It's a problem because you cant put a link direct to part of the text, so it takes some time to find what you want. It could be fixed just putting on html file and adding some links. I suggest also small modifications, like on items section, a division for the different types of items, equipments and magic, as there is, but adding a hyperlink to each one (ex. equips[weapons, shields, armor]) on the top of the page. It also applies to the classes and quests part (My main idea is that a menu with all contents on the top of each page makes A LOT easier to view the site).
I know it requires much time and changes, but it's only a suggestion i'd like you to see. The next one is even bigger, but on that I can help.

How about a multilingual website? i checked on google, and there are some brazilian sites for tactics ogre. I don't know if it's a widespread game, but I live in Brazil and I got it here. I could easily translate it, just need some time. (the main part will be fast, the problems are the big amount of texts in faq's & guide section). And we could have it translated to other languages, like spanish, german or any other that we could translate. I know it's huge, but it would be a great project.

Thanks for your comments, I will respond to them as best as I can.

As for the FAQ section, the reason they are in text is because A. I didn't write them B. They are given to me by others with permission to put up C. .txt can be opened on any computer. I could make a separate page for each one, but this also allows people to save the documents to their computer. It is setup with the same thing in mind as gamefaqs.com

there are bookmarks of the top of classes and the items/equipment sections to the main topics. I could make it more specific, but don't really see a reason since you can either edit find or just click the bookmark to the appropriate part.

Now this is a good idea. Most of the visitors I have seen are coming to the site from translating sites like babelfish. There is definitely a need for translated information in other languages. The FAQs and Guides are not my property so you would have to ask them for permission to do that. As for the main site, I see no problem except how/where to host it. I only have 1 additional subdomain and that will not cover mutiple translated sites. It would have to be hosted on another server I think. Let me know what you think.

Ok, now I understand why the Faq's & Guides are like that and if noone else is complaining about the format of the site, is because it's good.
I was wondering about putting all the different languages on the same domain. Is it possible to keep the main site as it is, but with some links to the other languages? like a upper menu, with the different kinds of languages.
And then, when you click on another language link, opens like a subpage of the main page, but looking the same as the main page, with another language. If you do that way I dont think it will need a new domain.I've seen lots of sites like that, usually with flags corresponding to each language countries.
If you do a domain for each language, it will be really nice and more organized,but expensive. imagine if it had 10 diferent languages, will be 10 domains to support. Won't be the best idea.

Ah yeah I could make a separate page titled Different languages and then on that page list the pages and the language next to them that they are in. That can definitely work and shouldn't cost anything extra. And then on each different language page I could do a link back to the main "other languages" page. Let me know how that sounds. Or do like you said and give each language it's on home page that links to the other ones under the category.

I think your idea sounds good, but let's see how it works... I can do a "prototype" file just showing how i would do it. Then you see wich one you think it's best. Well, now i'm going to sllep, cause it's midnight here and I have a test tomorrow, at 8:00am. I'll probably have it done in the afternoon and e-mail you then.

Hey Sujaum I have not gotten a prototype or anything from you yet. Let me know what is up.
