Resident Evil Fansite

[LeonsBuddyDave]

Im creating a website dedicated to Resident Evil. (sound familiar?)
However, one of its main differences to The Horror is going to be the presentation.
I am creating the Umbrella Corporations Website.
Complete with mission statement, product list, character bios and more.

The reason for this thread is that I need ideas. Anything that pops into your head as an idea for the site, just let me know. I will post occasional updates(when I have time) and will also let you know when the site is completed and up and running. Thanks!

Maybe have a mock intro screen with the little animation from Resi 1 on there. The one with the twirling Umbrella and then the little jingle that accompanies it. I have all Resi 1 sounds if you wanted to do that. And then underneath a log in thing, using the John > Ada name and pass. Could be just a little nostalgic fun for Resi veterans.

I second that as it goes, I run my own Resi beta site so if you need help with anything just ask.

I'm interested In helping out.

But I don't know how to do much. hey. I can learn.

[REKrauser42]

u shold totally have like the mercenaries (like form re4) except in this you list like all the characters from resident evil giving there name and info

[Nikovich]

This is off-topic, sorry. But Krauser, I would like for you to send me the assets used in your signiture so I can make one for you that isn't 20 screens wide. That's definitely way past the limit.

CAN I HELP OUT
i can get members, post out info
but i'd love to post updates or somthing
i'll even clean up, hell uv gotta start somewhere

[LeonsBuddyDave]

Thanks a lot for your support!
Oh, John I thought of something like that but then i had an even better idea. You know the UC intro? Well my welcome message is going to be: "Welcome to the Umbrella Chronicles. Accessing File #Whateveritis." and maybe some kind of accompanying animation.
I cant even estimate release yet, so far all I have is homepage w/ mission statement, product list and character bios. Speaking of which what is known about Sergei? I want to tell more about him but there isnt much.
The "Ada" and "John" idea is good, tho, I might have them protect a section that only a hardcore RE fan(or someone that knows how to view source code) could get into.

EDIT: Note that I only recently learned some computer programming skills and probably wont have a moderator/login feature for a while yet, because that requires PHP (not to be confused with PCP) and I dont know that very well yet.

Just got the password thing up and running with John as user and Ada as pass.
What content should I have on that protected page?
I was thinking maybe upcoming missions (*games*) and secret location lists.

MORE EDIT: I have posted some screen captures in my photobucket at: http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/f...BuddyDave/UKB/

[LeonsBuddyDave]

[LeonsBuddyDave]

I second that as it goes. I run my own Resi beta site so...

Wats the URL?

EDIT: Sorry guys, encountered a bug I need to work out b4 i set it out there. Soon, tho!
I hope.

I've Got it.
For when I eventually have moderators, in order to register to become a moderator, they have to get the login right to prove they are worthy. Beautiful.

sounds good *plots to be a mod*

[LeonsBuddyDave]

I do need something from someone on here.
My email is LeonsBuddyDave@aol.com, and what I need is a list of any and all umbrella employees (Albert Wesker, William Birkin, etc)
to also become Usernames/passwords in the register section.
Even the vaguest people, stupid people *coughAshfordcough*.

EDIT:

Like I said, might be a bit farther off.
