HIVE 3 Remoosed Beta

[loktar]

Well done Chieftain, well done. Thank you guys for the hard work.

Apart from everything mentioned, I have a somehow.. good ol' suggestion. I would like to bring on a subject we've longed to see again... Director's Cut. Should it rise from the ashes, I'm sure it would serve a good feature once again.

We're all ears in case you have any news regarding this matter.

I was also wondering when the new rating system would come into effect, but IIRC it wasn't planned to be part of Hive3.

We're all ears in case you have any news regarding this matter.

Director's Cut will return, as we've stated before. But it will come at a later point. Rest assured, we plan on bringing it back. Probably after we move over to Hive 3 i.e. when the BETA ends.

 

[Chaosy]

Oh, one thing I noticed. I have access to reports I don't have on the live version. 16 of them in fact.

 

[StormKnight]

Will all available links for resources be ported over with the new version transition ?

I linked a LOT of resources to not be forced to pin some 100 - 200+ tabs. are those all going to get yeeetus deletus after release ?

 

[Archian]

Oh, one thing I noticed. I have access to reports I don't have on the live version. 16 of them in fact.

That is because it’s the beta version of HIVE. It runs on an outdated backup of HIVE. Everything posted there will be deleted in the next run of the beta or when we finally migrate. If you want to keep doing things on HIVE, don't use the BETA. Only use the BETA site for testing features.

EDIT: Check out the model viewer on the BETA. It got an update:

View in 3D

you might be interested in Remoosed BETA Feedback
also, the site seem more cool and prolly easier to me (maybe becuz I still didnt get used to hive 2.0 xD)
also, maps there get approved much faster

his is the beta version of HIVE. It runs on an outdated backup of HIVE. Everything posted here will be deleted in the next run of the beta or when we finally migrate.

You mean everything THERE will be deleted?

Special mention for making the 3.0 run much, much, much smoother than the 2.0 one <3

is it smoother though?

Well, all of the reports are on threads from 2016-2017.
And the backup is a few days old, not years.

So unless someone went and reported a bunch of old threads a few days ago AND they all got sorted out before I noticed them.. I have access to more reports than previously.

 

[Warseeker]

I want my reputation back...

Just kidding. The new site looks good overall.

 

[MasterBlaster]

is it smoother though?

Maybe I used a wrong word, but it definetely loads a lot faster for me.

 

[StormKnight]

Since no one bothered answering my question, i'll ask again. maybe tag @Archian

Are all the existing links to Hive going to be wiped out ? i saved a lot of resource links just so i wouldn't be forced to pin them. they are critical for my overall projects. with this announcement, i wonder if i have to find every single one on the beta and save it ?

 

[MasterHaosis]

It’s not HWS without the legendary . Never like a false smiley looking thing that deserve to be burned down to ashes. Give it back or make great again. Long live sir haosis.

We could make that a reaction at some point

So, you two are talking about me behind back, thinking that I wont see it.
By accidentally, I checked site after while, and saw great news! Hive 3.0. Oh, and regarding smiley.... This is one of symbols since it got invented (in 2007), username, greeting. It has long history. It should remain in new Hive if possible, since I see that people are interested still in it.

I'm glad you guys like the design

I like design as well. That Beta seems to faster load than this version. Oh, I like new ,,View in 3D" so far. And you can check model in all team colors, I like that.

No, links will stay the same. You can try it yourself, go to a resource page on the main site and replace "www" with "beta". The same resource will load in the beta site.

Obviously when the new version goes live, it will be on the main domain (not in the beta subdomain).

 

[sonphamthe11H]

I cant use my Hive account to login, should I make a new one?

 

[Ralle]

You are welcome to create new accounts for the beta.

 

[Chaosy]

You don't need to.

 

[Gumberbunbder]

I like the search function now. There's a big obvious "SEARCH" bar instead of a tiny inconspicuous "search again" link to the side, so that's an improvement. Seems to run faster too. I prefer the reputation points and the gems/whatever you call them that we have now. They are a lot more fun than a generic xp bar. I always see someone with like 3 gold gems and 2 silvers and think "damn, theyre so powerful, so many gems!"

 

[Chaosy]

While I do like rep, I would almost prefer a pure number over gems.
Because I no longer know what each gem represents.

On the top of my head, I have no idea how much rep three blue and two green gems are worth. I would have to hover to check.
The level or whatever is plainer.
HOWEVER, honestly not a fan of blindly rewarding posts/threads regardless of content.
At least with rep it's up to others to judge if your post/thread was worthwhile.

So my theoretical redesign would be to keep the current reputation system, but remove the gems and just write out the number.

 

[Retera]

This brings to mind that video of Strong Bad talking about when he realizes that fans spent more time creating fan stuff about the world around him than the time that was spent making the source material upon which it was based.
If Reforged is a web page, and Hive 3 is a stylistically similar webpage that more time was spent to make, why don't we just cut to the chase and put the "Start Game" button into the Hive HTML files instead of the main glue screen webui ones?

(In theory I might be joking, but I'm not sure. I actually have no idea how much time was spent to make the main glue screen webui of Reforged.)

Incredible. High skills are required for such an amazing feat.

 

[MasterTrainer]

Noice! I REALLY like how the site looks there! Excited for it to finally go live xD
Thank you to the team for always working so hard! You guys rock )

Happy New Year!

 

[sonphamthe11H]

You don't need to.

I can log-in in Hive fine, but the beta one

 

[Chaosy]

Your username is sonphamthe11H not SowN0110? don't see the problem.

 

[TriggerHappy]

lmao

and to think Ralle might have gone on a mission to figure out what could be wrong with the login system.

 

[jonhysone]

Absolutely wonderful. This is a huge step-up if not a real leap in design, just as the Hive deserves. The amount of work and effort put into this manifests in every way when I scroll and transit from page to another.

This took a while to load for me on my very slow 2MBPS 4G (I am using this temporarily), I guess that's due to the high-resolution style images used. Which is no biggie for others probably with better nets, also the second time around opening the site should function better since my browser saves the resources used.

I have encountered no bug so far, not that I noticed. My honest opinion is a theme like this deserves its own font rather than the default font. I feel like the font no longer matches the "feels" the design gives so in that context, a change in font may be in favor of an even look. That, of course, remains my own opinion and doesn't necessarily have to be implemented.

Keep up the good work, it's really nice to see the Hive still growing without looking older but younger and more lively ! Props to yall. Thanks for the amazing work.

it's just another account, Ralle really should fix it

So, you're confessing you have more than one account ?

yep, it's hard to change the name, so I better make a new one :3

errr, I make a new one following this, it's fine when login by email, but username

Oh thank god, i was not looking forward to recreating my category of resource links.

 

[Swatosj]

I knew this was going to happen already 10 years ago

Very nice job & congrats to the team working on it !

 

[Deolrin]

I knew this was going to happen already 10 years ago

10 years ago we were still on the original Hive and not Hive 2.0, so quite curious that you "knew"

 

[Chaosy]

What a rookie, I knew of this back in 1998.

 

[Daffa]

Simplified Icon looks like blessing. Can finally be an icon maker without having to work with border is awesome.

 

[supertoinkz]

looks amazing. kudos to the team!

 

[JaleVeliki]

The new design is absolutely magnificent!

 

[Gumberbunbder]

I think you should show as many medals as can reasonably fit (at least 12). I may not have a medal of my own, but I enjoy seeing all the medals people earned and hovering over them to see what they were for. Look at Mythic's profile.

He's got a crap load of medals and they all fit fine. If you were thinking of reducing the maximum to 4 displayed for the sake of decluttering, I think this is a bad reason. They look good and add incentive to enter into contests when they are all displayed. The medals also stand out more in the current hive. They have a slight spacing between them and have a gold border. I prefer the old look. Once again though, I overall like the new hive and it seems much more functional

 

[Chaosy]

Awards should be dynamically displayed.

Let's say you have the space of 10 icons before using a new row.
A user has 12 medals. Instead of doing 10 + 2 you do 2x6

Cleaner. And relatively easy to do.

I can agree with this idea. Much better than limiting them to 4.

 

[Ralle]

I'd rather make it expand on hover or something and we've talked about adding a way to indicate that a user has more than the 4.

 

[Wayshan]

It looks great! I also second the opinions on medals given by the guys above. Let us see those shiny lil' beasts!

I hope I did not oversee something, but will we have some fresh new emoticons? I think we need some. Desperately.

 

[Footman16]

I'm not that big a fan of the removing of rep, but at the same time I don't mind the new level system. That's just my two cents.

 

[PurgeandFire]

This is seriously amazing to see! It looks absolutely gorgeous! I've always loved this site so much and it is amazing to see its evolution over all these years. I can't wait to mess around in Remoosed.

 

[Heinvers]

Hey people. Belated Happy New Year to all of ya'

I'm not sure if this was said but the new site has an app option available from the menu option.
Quite convenient if you'd ask me :]

Also a big plus for replacing REP for the Level system. It had it coming for some time :]

 

[Gumberbunbder]

On the model section, I like the current hive for one thing, that is you can click on the picture of the model in the model search page and it will enlarge so you can see if more clearly. It seems I cant do this with the BETA version. Is this true or am i missing something? Also, it would be nice if the pictures in model search section could just be bigger to begin with so you can see them better. I know this would mean that the page would be longer to accommodate, but I think it would be worth it.

 

[netd777]

I LOVE IT! Very nice! I'm web dev and I know HOW MUCH WORK it takes, and man, it payed off!
Beaultiful design, nice features, just a mastapiece!

 

[CloudWolf]

Bit late to the party, but just wanted to say this looks brilliant.

Really nice work Ralle

 

[Tauer]

Looking fantastic, Ralle! Great work

Could the resources from this site be of any help for debugging purposes?
Developer Tools - W3C Developers

The Nu HTML Checker is throwing so many errors and warnings on both our current site and its beta version, that I have my doubts it has not been updated since many years...
