Topic: dimpleton .dimp collection

i think that one of the pages on dimpleton should be a place called the dimp theatre where you can post all your .dimp files without making a post. like for example, if i post alot of dimp animations, but i usually say just "new animation" or somthing like that, well, dimp theatre would be sort of like the .dimp archive where you don't have to make a post, just select the .dimp file type a title, description, and tags, click submit, and then go to the homepage of dimp theater where they would have a new animations bar, and yours would probably be first or second in that. if you click on a file in the theatre homepage, you would start to download that file. anybody think that thats a good idea?

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

This is a fine idea in my opinion, itd be cool too..
Could you paragraph your sentences better next time though? Thanks big_smile

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

Yeah this sounds pretty cool. I'll look into it.

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

Something like this?

When you click one it opens and plays in Dimp. You can login and edit your own submissions.

Edit: moving to the suggestion area.

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

>favorite animators

How about I sort the list of animators by popularity? With alternate options too, of course – without cluttering the interface.

>random video

Sounds fun, I'll add that too.

>Video of the week

Might do that.

As for uploading, I'm going to rework the upload screen to allow you to upload using your username/password, optionally. And to select a thumbnail image.

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

cool, just like youtube, will it accept things like edited dimp videos?

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

No, this is just for uploading and showing plain Dimp files because YouTube is already very good at being YouTube wink

However, I'll be adding more and more stuff to Dimp so that editing will become less and less of a necessity.

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

yes. exactly like that.

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

Work in progress:

http://i44.tinypic.com/2m3kx79.png

It's an actual web page (not just a mockup) and currently it renders fine in Safari and Firefox. But it doesn't actually do anything yet, clicking the Login button or register links does nothing and searches return no results tongue

Now I'm going to work on registration and profile pages.

Open for comments and suggestions smile

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

Will you be able to add youtube vids (that are yours) if want to edit it? BTW looks great!!! big_smile

I'm not sure. Maybe you can add a YouTube link to the animation bit it is primarily for the Dimp file. When you click the thumbnail, Dimp opens and plays it back (as opposed to the plain download with the dimp tags here on the forum).

edit: yeah I know it looks as if though I only added the source list items tongue that's not entirely the case. I've rewritten the subscription system to unify the front page (hyzkia.com) subscriptions and those at dimp-animator.com. But they are still different lists

I'm not sure about the whole Mac-style interface thing though. Maybe I should give it more  of a theater feel.

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

WOOT!
It looks great, I hope we can use it soon, just maybe we could have an archive for past videos of the week or like a star by their video that says "Video of the week xx-xx-xxxx"
when you hover over it, or awards like "winner of Contest #1", or most "viewed of all",
or even "video before main dimp release" tongue

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

More work in progress:

http://i40.tinypic.com/fw7pfn.png

User registration has arrived. There are links to Dimp on the new hyzkia.com frontpage (not yet online), and there's always a Dimp icon in the top right to take you back to the Dimp site.

edit: look, made it better:

I thought about that, but the original Dimp file is actually used to play it back. So while I could remove the download link from the theater, one could easily obtain the Dimp file anyways.

But you, of course, have copyright on everything you create (if not for work) so I'll help you enforce it as well. If you have uploaded an animation on Dimp theater or somewhere else and someone else uploads it (or a derrivative work) without your permission I'll remove it for you when you ask.

Today I've been working on the upload screen which is epic win now. No pics though because I'm away from home and my laptop doesn't have WiFi reception here.

So you mean Sijmen like when you upload your animation you have the choice for .dimp file to be downloadable?

No I meant to say the opposite. I would have liked to add that but just like YouTube, it's impossible to protect it like that.

Been working hard today and the upload part in Dimp is done, at least as far as I can test without having the site finished.

Here's a screenshot from the site like it is now with the layout pretty much finished:

Next up is finshing the website, and then the final touches to Dimp.

Re: dimpleton .dimp collection

How about like where it  has some code or something when you upload the dimp and if a person downloads it and reuploads it to somewhere else or to the Dimp Theater it will deny it or something.
