[Release]Project Throwback - A Classic Experience

[_DreadNought_]

Actually, safari use's the least memory. There is a comparision video which does the main browers based on performance, look/quality, Javascript, speed, HTML5 speed, Flash speed, memory usage etc. It's a tie between FireFox and Chrome(Chrome has the best HTML 5)

#edit
Firefox just released Firefox 9.0 yesterday, the website is loading correctly for me now.

@ Korvacs, thanks for letting us no, i take no offense to it what so ever. I dont have all the browsers so I dont really check em all, due to the background having to be stretched, different browsers handle that all differently and require different ways of handling it. Ive done checks for both IE 7 and IE 8 to fix the issue, but havent updated to 9 just yet. But will do soon, and thanks again.

@ Lateralus L2H wasnt the first 1.0 server by far. There were many preceding servers, so don't try to act like your server started the 1.0 trend ^^. And I have been working on this one before L2H even existed. Just because I didnt announce a "[Development]" thread. Doesnt mean I just all of a sudden made it. Im just one person, so the development on it has taken a decent amount of time.

@ Bauss. Background is a co wall-paper, others for the icons are cut wall-papers made into images, and as if I recall, this is the way a lot of one page sign up sheets are done now days. But eh, I guess it's ur opinion on it haha, cant argue with honesty, but still would like to see any server that has made one from scratch thats better. (honestly from scratch, not some template they think is their own)

Im on Firefox 11.0a2, and have no issues with any other webpages except for this one, so you must be doing something pretty 'special' either way it needs changing.

Only thing I can really think of is the jquery thats used to for the embedded popups for the other page links. Whether you click em or not it still reads the jquery. May be causing a problem. But ill have to check around later.

#edit: added a browser check for IE9 and made some fixes for it. Should look better now.

those statistics aren't exactly right for p servers though. most of the IE stats come from the fact it comes on the PC. But i would say most people that play p servers know its a horrible browser and use an alternative.

Yeah looks much better on IE9.

alright, thanks for letting me no.

And it crashes the Firefox alpha every single time, no matter how many tabs i have open. It really has nothing to do with my "****** pc" which i can guarantee is better than yours, and most likely better than your VPS as well.

I wasn't taking offense to what you said, it was just how you said, I felt it wasn't all that informational, considering you had already basically stated that in your previous posts. I appreciate your feedback, in this matter.

And just call me curious, but I was wanting to see what exactly it is you ran in your PC. I'll post a pic of mine in a sec.

That's what the bigger picture inside the spoiler is for. But then again, you probably didn't look at the entire post.

I do, I do a large amount of video editing lately which is ram intensive, plus I run a number of applications which require quite abit of ram, so when you combine them all together i do need a fair amount.

Oh and browser usage, i checked out L2H's analytics for the last 3 weeks.

Firefox 37.61%
Chrome 34.31%
IE 16.73%
Opera 10.07%

So the statistics vary in terms of IE being popular yes, but even still your looking at IE and FF making up 54%, which is only 3% off the estimate i posted. Where as my estimates of Chrome, Firefox, IE combined was under estimated by 10% as the figure is 88.65%, highlighting the importance of cross compatibility even further.

Yeah, but then you also have to limit it down to the versions. How many of those use the alpha client, and how many use IE9. Which will cut another portion of those out. xD.

The original KylinCO was one of the first "classic-style" servers back in 2007-2008 based on the ***-awful COEmu source before I even knew how to seriously code for your information. I've been preparing for a legit 1.0 server since then. I too haven't made a development thread on our source (or anything I've worked on), and if there is one, I don't post in it.

I'm just saying that there's been an influx of "classic-style" server releases since L2H was released. I've been monitoring this section for those types of servers for about a year and a half, ever since I decided to convert Project Manifesto (or whatever it is, that source... I think I used an earlier version when I started.) to a 4267-capable source, so I know that there are more being released since L2H. Facts.
