kj2022 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I love this, the detailing is just brilliant. I love the idea of the old GTA Protags and big names being the names on the ticket. have you thought about trying to get a mobile site going, and have it so when you scan the bar codes with your phones QR/Barcode reader it directs there? Hey there, buddy.. and thanks! At the moment any idea is welcomed and will be considered, however bear in mind this is something I am doing alongside college work. Which bar codes do you mean to scan btw? they're not really bar codes, I've just forgotten the name, the ones on the ticket either side of the stub.

ultrabowser Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The name should switch between the tree main characters upon page refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakee. Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) The name should switch between the tree main characters upon page refresh. I think the majority of people in this thread, and myself, have agreed to have it rotate between ex-GTA Characters instead, since we don't have the other names for many people in GTAV at all.

Jakee. Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hello there, Have updated the site slightly, nothing really noticable apart from me shifting the links into a navigation list, which is displayed at the top of the page. I have also once again made the disclaimer sit at the bottom of the page. Finally, for anyone still using IE8 for whatever reason ( according to analytics, quite a few still.. just over 2% ) I have also made some adjustments so its is generally more appealing. Thank you gtav.pw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwinterj Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 This is really well done, good job. It'd be awesome if you could make the ticket into a dynamic signature. I agree with this. Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed this post, I am sorry! That is a possibility, yes.. would require a little bit of PHP work which is fine, however.. wouldn't it be too large? (The actual signature itself, unless someone can create me a mock-up layout for it!) really nice, are you gonna add more names from previous GTA's? That is next on the to-do list! I will work on that next, possibly also having each individual person having their own set of data.. e.g Tommy Vercetti seated in FIRST CLASS, whereas trevor in ECONOMY Edited May 11, 2013 by Jakee.

Jakee. Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 @Freezer89 I have also posted it in the V subreddit however it is no-where near as popular as Gaming one and it was simply ignored unfortunately. Also, to background music.. I find it quite annoying myself so I don't think I will add it in. @KiiWiiDee thank you buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Well done, I like it and it's certainly better than the countless other countdown websites out there where only little to no effort has been put.

Meezarawcks Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Great job man. The 128 days makes me sad though lol. Just wanted to say you should contact Adriann or other forum admins to see if they can feature your site on there main page or even here on the forums. Didn't read the whole thread but I am sure someone else might have pointed this out but just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakee. Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 @Carl CJ Johnsons Brother Brian: Thank you friend, it is the main reason I have done it alongside wanting something to do! @2281: Glad you like it, thanks! @locolow: An idea put forward earlier on in the thread was a dynamic signature / image generator, I would incorporate users entering their own names in that way if anything! @Meezarawcks: Thanks, my goal isn't to get the site hugely popular or successful I just want to share my work as I am sure people find it useful. If the admins want to feature the site they can, but it wouldn't matter as I am sure they will have their own countdown up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mário César Baldessar Moro Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I have made my own countdown, but to see from time in time. When I guess already was passed something like 10 days from my last check, I see again. This make me feeling the time pass really fast! When have less than one hundred days left, the time will fly!

Jakee. Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Well, I have been receiving some traffic from YouTube and found this video.. it is amazing to see my site actually featured in a video for a start, but I am just wondering what is being said.. any english-spanish users here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opW4FdE_WuI Thanks to all above! @Mikey A chatbox would be quite intensive on the server unfortunately due to it polling every second or so, so I don't think I am able to add it.
