GMOD Prime - An Alternative Server Browser (alpha!)

I will, I still gotta change a few things to support communities instead of servers
I slipped a couple small updates in, the home page now only shows the 4 newest communities, but it shows 4 random ones too
I also made it so people can only rate communities once, and I finally added the option to delete comments!
Please make deleting comments site mods only, I don't want to see some douchebag delete all negative comments when people are trying to express how bad the server is.
Also, a bit of an extreme idea, but could you make it a requirement to state a reason when you dislike a server? Or make it so that dislikes/likes are attached to one comment only? Kind of like a review, so it would be easier to challenge when someone is disliking servers just to make theirs higher on the list.

the only people who can delete comments are me and the people who wrote them
and that's what dislikes are already, the only way to vote on a server is to leave a review about it
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I spent like 10 minutes writing out the description for my server and you've gone and wiped it :v:
I added markdown to server descriptions! now you guys can add some flair to your pages. it's pretty much the same as reddit, but there's a guide on the website too if you need it

I am grateful for the formatting, but I can't seem to space out my text into paragraphs anymore. For example,
[QUOTE]Here's a sentence
Another another sentence[/QUOTE]
Will just be condensed to
[QUOTE]Here's a sentence
Another another sentence[/QUOTE]
Do you know what might be causing that or how to manually insert newlines with this formatting?
[B]Edit[/B]
Either I just made a change that fixed it, or you did something on your end, but spacing seems to work now.
another overdue update, fixed searching by gamemode/map
underscores are weird for some reason though
Will there be an api people can query?
there kind of already is, what would you need it for?
right now, there's:
[code]
/api/info - the stuff at the bottom of every page
/api/communities - returns a list of community ids and the total amount of communities, options:
amt: amount of ids to return, defaults to 10
start: offset to start at
sortBy: field to sort by, defaults to 'added' (sort by time)
you can also do 'random' to sort randomly
reverse: reverse the sort order, defaults to false
/api/community/<id> - returns info about a community
/api/user - returns info from steam about you (if logged in)
/api/userdata/<id> - takes 64 bit steam id, returns database info, if you don't give an id, it uses yours
[/code]
Cool service. Only really discovered what it is when I found out the community I am working for was on it.
I can't say I see many players using this to find servers to play on, but it's good to have the option none the less. Plus a spot of advertising does no harm.
Would it be possible to show the total number of votes that are determining the 'Liked' percentage?
For example, if someone's community was 100% because there was only a single vote, but another person's community had a solid 90% average from dozens of votes, the former community's percentage would look better, even though the latter has much more attention with a solid rating.
Something like either the top image (#[B]liked [/B]/ #[B]total[/B]) or bottom image (#[B]total[/B]):

I personally like the [B]bottom [/B]one just showing the total number of votes.
To make it fit, I shrank the [B]font-size[/B] in [I]community-view span[/I] to 12px (13px works too) and added 5px of [B]margin-right[/B] to [I]community-view .feedback .badge
[/I][B]Oh, I put votes but ratings would probably make more sense.[/B]

would it be better if I just changed the badge to say 10/10 instead of 100%?

I don't want to speak on everyone's behalf, but I personally really like the badge. If you had to choose between changing it to something else or leaving it the same, which would you prefer the most?

I just meant changing it like the bottom left, but out of these 4, which is best? I like either the bottom left or the top right

I guess looking at it like that, I like bottom left and top right too.
Probably bottom left a little bit more, especially if you keep the color coding based on the average (green/orange/red).
the bottom left is up now, let me know what you think
[QUOTE=PortalGod;46908611]the bottom left is up now, let me know what you think[/QUOTE]
I like the bottom right more.
Nice site. I just added my server with a description and the description came out nicely formatted. I do wish the banner size was a bit bigger though. Also isn't the Steam log-in button suppose to be the one provided by Steam?
