Tenshi Animétion (tanime.net) Site News - 6.14.2003
posted // Saturday, June 14, 2003 2:15 am

A Forum Interface system has been written to allow the site to interface with threads on the site forum to make for ease with news updates, and also to tie in comments and responses to the site and its content in a much easier fashion.

Previous updates moved to thread:
6.3.2003
Some more menus were added for those who can't view the pop-out menus correctly. I have also added an intro to Angel Matrix Plus! A Federation Crystal Online intro is not too far away.

5.25.2003
The entire E-mail section of the menu is operational (E-mail me, characters, and character responses). Give it a gander.

5.20.2003
Fixed the JavaScript menu bar on the right to work with those not running JavaScript 1.2. =P

5.19.2003
What on Earth have I been doing for all this time? Well, I have been putting oodles of time into working on my forum. I finished the majority of the coding for the Board, and anything I add now is really just bells and whistles. There're so many things I need to now get done on the site, it's hard to figure out exactly where I should begin! Well, hopefully, you should begin to see stuff added to the site. I will, of course, post an update to this page whenever I add something. =)

4.8.2003
I've been doing a lot of heavy work on the site, but I just haven't posted much on the updates. Actually, if you look at the menus, you'll see that there're pop-out submenus available now, and if you check the Message board, you'll see I have been making some new strides with that. Take a look! Register! Come chat! Do something! =)

3.6.2003
Some of you may notice the new site design. Yeah, well it's one of the few changes and overhauls I've been making to the site lately. I'm still working on it, but this design just had to be made. The other one was just too "busy". I kept the same two basic colors. Check the FAQ for the significance of the colors.
To-Do List:
[#l]
[*]Registration and account login [/*]
[*]Organize Some stuff [/*]

- Oh wow, this makes updating so much more interesting. Currently, I have been spending a great deal of time compiling text to soon post on the website concerning some of the various races and aspects of the Federation Crystal universe. I am also preparing to begin documentation for a hopeful game I would like to some day at least start: Federation Crystal: Online. Mwah hah hah. So much to do, so little time.

- Also, I have been putting a great deal of effort into working on the C++ port of Unmei Densetsu. Yeah, too many problems. Probably my fault and the way I coded it, but I am catching up. Once I get graphics working, it'll catch up real quickly. I will also port the editors I had (Enemy, Battle, Map) over to Java, because with Java it'll be real easy to load & save the objects, and plus making GUIs is a snnap in Java. =D Sure, I know, I could probably load up VC++ or something, but I dunno, I'm feeling kinda lazy. We'll see, we'll see. =)

- I'm trying to work up my sketching urges, so that I can get enough character designs finalized before I begin Federation Crystal: Chibi Zensekai.

- That's all for now. You may or may not notice any recent updates, I will get around to them as soon as possible!

- I got a new Harddrive installed this weekend, so I'm up to 60GB of harddrive space, which is good since my old one only had about 3GB left on it. It's going to another computer (sigh).

- Construction of the Unmei Densetsu port goes rather slowly at current, having a couple of troubles with font display, but that should be the last major hurdle, then everything else is just straightforward coding.

- I have a new poll up, as you [should] see. It's hard for me to think of polls when I have yet to post any real background information on most of Federation Crystal. Well, as a quick tidbit until I post something... to counter the shortage of men on the planet, to females, an Ohmah and a Pahmah (short for the conjoining of two Latin words, to be explained when the Dictionary is posted) combine DNA (in a process I will explain later) and then the Ohmah carries the egg. I borrowed the majority of this from VanDread, couldn't figure out how they did it in Gall Force and then there was that one episode of Sliders. =T

- As a slight update on the 17th, I deleted the Indie Community because it was not being used. Anyone who wishes to post something Indie related may do so within the General Discussion forum... since I am not picky about what kind of topics get posted here. You can talk about your own stuff if you want.. just talk about something. =T

Summer's Over... time to work
posted // Sunday, August 24, 2003 8:50 pm

- Admitably, I did not accomplish as much this summer as I would have liked. In fact, I accomplished only a fraction of what I said I would accomplish over the summer. Part of the reason for my severe drop in production comes from the massive amount of time I put into Star Wars Galaxies this summer, another was Summer courses, and still more was the fact that ... well ... it was Summer time. Now that classes are back in session once again, my free time will plummet... and that's when I work best and the creative juices flow.

- First on the agenda is to get a character bio online. I will begin with Federation Crystal's central character, the "English" commanding officer of the Federation Starship Crystal Genesis - Michele McFadden. Character bios will be presented in Flash format and will hopefully be a bit interactive. We will see.

Power companies are teh suck
posted // Monday, September 22, 2003 8:49 am

I apologize to anyone who has tried to E-mail me recently as I am STILL without power since Hurricane Isabel hit us around 11am Thursday morning. At the time of writing it's been almost 96 hours since we lost power... and still no power has been restored to my neighborhood. Sure, I can go across the street... there's power over there, but as for us, nope! *sigh* And it's looking as though it will be a while before it's restored here. I will try to get to a better Internet source as soon as possible, as I am - for some reason - unable to access my E-mail from my laptop (which will run low on charge very soon =( ).

On the one hand, I have gotten quite a few things done. I've drawn several pictures to use for my first Flash bio. I'm hoping (if the power comes back) to go look for some "Map making" software.... to make maps of entire planet surfaces such that I can also begin a planetary database that will be cross-linked with that of the profile databases such that when a character's profile is checked, there will be a link from their Date of Birth to the planet and location of which they were born. Beyond that, uhh.... I'll post some stuff when the power comes back on.... but at this point, I'm really going nuts and losing faith.

96 hours....

Can't stand this... can't.

Back in Business! - 10.2.2003
posted // Thursday, October 2, 2003 9:14 pm

Well, actually I have had power for about a week now.. well, a lil' over a week. I've been busy doing a bunch of stuff. I have made updates to the other sites that I run. XD

Well, I have been busy compiling more information for Federation Crystal. I have posted a couple pieces of information in the renamed link Federation Crystal for your reading pleasure. Expect more over the next couple of weeks. I already have a good 3 pages (size 10 font... don't I always use size 10 Arial? =P) on the Cryssian race and I am not done with it, yet! Once I have that template, though, I can definitely do the Taiyese race, and pieces of the other races. Just... uhh... stay appraised... show an interest... it helps motivate me, honestly.

Struggling
posted // Sunday, November 16, 2003 12:33 am

If there is even anyone that checks this site on a random basis, you're probably wondering where the hell is all of that stuff I was so excited about before. Well... I ran into another downer and I am seriously struggling, trying to find some positive energy from somewhere. I haven't had the desire to produce anything in some time now, and every time I try to force myself to sit down and do something, I don't get very far. Earlier this week I thought I was on the verge of breaking out of this bubble, but I am now even deeper in than I was before. I'm going to try my hardest to get something up. What may happen is that I will just eek out pieces of information... and then 'advertise' the site (actually having some content) around Christmas (or shortly after). Well, my Birthday is coming up in a few weeks.. (December 7), so maybe that will bring with it enough positive experiences that it can counter this deep trench (it's not even a rut anymore) that I am stuck in.

Leaping back!
posted // Tuesday, November 25, 2003 10:19 am

Originally I was thinking of saving this post for when I had something significant to post, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I am back on track and I am grinding on material as hard as I can. Currently I am spending a lot of time trying to get all of the essentials for Unmei Densetsu completed, but I am also composing site stuff and structuring some good stuff. =) Stay tuned... OH!! And check out the FORUM! and join in some of the discussions! We have plenty of activity going on, and we'd welcome MORE!

Happy 21st Birthday to Me! - December 7th
posted // Sunday, December 7, 2003 2:42 am

- As of today I am 21 years old, the big 10101. I will probably not put much up today at all, but I do have a couple of items to post once I get into the week, I also fell behind on a couple of other things I wanted to update, but I seem to be doing that on a regular basis now. And now I am beginning to realize that there're going to be some serious issues coming up as far as deadlines for classes. XD Gotta love school!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Years!
posted // Sunday, December 28, 2003 5:43 pm

- It's almost the New Years! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and had a Merry Christmas. My Holiday cards will probably be a little late, I'm so into the coding of Unmei Densetsu recently, trying to spam as much code down as I can before I move onto graphics and fine-tuned Data stuff. Well, I have yet to update the Unmei Densetsu site with this latest information, but some screenshots can be seen here. Please vote in the poll and share your opinions in the related thread on the Unmei Densetsu forum.

Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 1
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 2
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 3
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 4
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 5
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 6

- Some of these have been fine-tuned.

- Stay tuned, I will have stuff ready shortly.

Welcome to 2004!!!
posted // Thursday, January 15, 2004 6:03 pm

Well yeah, I know, no change in the site as of yet, and what few of you that do come to the site are probably getting tired of not seeing anything new. Well, I have taken some advice and begun to structure things and handle them one at a time, so that I can actually FINISH something.

So what does that mean? Very simple, I'm going to work on something until it is satisfactory, then move to something else, and so forth.

Unmei Densetsu has been my priority since I got my creative enthusiasm back. I have been coding it every moment I can trying to get something presentable ready so that I can take decent screenshots and to completely rehaul the Unmei Densetsu site.

I am still looking for more people to help with tiles and such, as my current artist is very busy working on other things and won't be able to turn out a lot of tiles very soon.

These are more WIP screenshots using temporary graphics:
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 7
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 8
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 9
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 10
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 11
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 12
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 13
Unmei Densetsu Screenshot 14

It's my hope that I can design the "title" for UD, revamp the UD site and keep going from there. However, pending my schedule of classes, I may end up having plenty of Federation Crystal text ready before hand, skip the Flash, and just post it. We'll see.

CNU XC Recruiting >> Another site I have updated recently.

It's the end of January, and still nothing?!
posted // Friday, January 30, 2004 8:50 pm

Yeah, I know, I know... but it's not to say I haven't been actively WORKING on stuff. It's just that I have yet to have it to a satisfactory degree of which I wish to present it to the public as yet. I'm doing stuff though... I have 6 pages going on the first Species I will present to you all, and I will be formatting it to a Flash document as soon as I figure out how. *grin*

In any event, I have started a small discussion about Cryssians (which will be the first species I present info on) which has a rather interesting question that I would really like some feedback on. Obviously at this point I don't expect to receive much feedback 'cause my last poll got 11 votes in like 2 weeks... and I know that the poll cookie times out after like.. a week.. so... that just goes to show that my site activity must be POOP. I hope that my upcoming publishes will fix that. PLEASE chime in about the poll topic, even if it's just a ninja post as a guest, I would like to hear opinions, as it helps motivate me to get stuff done.

What have I been doing? Well, practically all of the rendering functions for all of the engines of Unmei Densetsu are completed now. So it's come time to add my UI.. so that.. there's actually a moving hand in there, and switching from menu to menu (having the display first works best for me, 'cause that just works for me. When I built it in QBasic I would just execute that one routine, and THEN once I was satisfied with it, I chained it to the others). Currently, I have a Map engine display, a Battle Engine display, a Shop Engine display, and a Menu engine display... no script engine built *YET*, but it's more or less a parser and engine interface, the scripting engine will take VERY little time, especially since I can fondle, grope, and smooze up on memory without having to two-time with XMS memory functions now (char * will be my friend for the Script engine). In any event, I'm building content.

More to come. SHORTLY.

First Major Content Published!!!1!one-hundred-eleven!!
posted // Sunday, March 28, 2004 1:12 am

After figuring my waround Flash I have finally composed the first Flash file that is the introduction to the Cryssian species! Now you can finally see who and what the Cryssians are! That information can be found here ! Please note that although this is an update, it is not the end-product of this information. Expect to see some COLOR... and more pictures to be included, as well as diagrams that will come shortly. Please feel free to post any discussions or requests for more information in the associated thread on the General Forum.

I appreciate your patience, and will continue to work on more information and bring it to you as quickly as possible.

Other small updates include slight modifications to the Angel-boards forum. Avatar uploading is now fully supported. Since I have not completed the updates I wish to, I have not officially posted update notes.

New Site DESIGN! :D
posted // Saturday, April 3, 2004 10:22 pm

- Today I uploaded a new site design, and whilest the entire site does not reflect the new, fresh look I want it to (as in there aren't any new graphics and the pages haven't been changed drastically, yet) the new site template is in place and I have now claimed an additional 155 pixels of workspace to use. I have dropped the pop-up menus until further notice, because they do not work in Mozilla, which is probably something I am not doing right. I'll add them back later... maybe. I don't even have enough content yet to make good use of them so it's not really that big of a loss to have to make one or two extra clicks at this point, right?

- Well, the major news that comes with this change is that I now have a lot more space to work with when composing Flash files, so that I can do a lot more stuff and utilize a lot more of the space to putting information and text and such. Of course this means that the current file will have to be adjusted to take advantage of this new space, right now all I did was just change the movie size to reflect the new stuff.

- The majority of Federation Crystal's information will be presented in Flash 'cause .. it's dynamic and I can make some annoying background sh*t and such and really have fun with it... so... get used to it.

Site Recovery and push-ahead 8/8/2004
posted // Sunday, August 8, 2004 5:23 pm

- Greetings. As a couple of you may or may not know, the hosting services Tenshi Animétion is housed on suffered a fatal harddrive crash and all information was lost. I keep a hard copy of my site structure, so I didn't lose much in the way of files, but I lost a lot in terms of databases. 6 months worth of data was lost from CNU's database, as well as Tenshi Animétion, however with the exception of polls (not very important) everything else has been reconstructed to my satisfaction ( my iFolio ).

- So, pushing forward, I am working on the completion of the main character of Federation Crystal: Michele McFadden. Go here to get a glimpse at her design and to offer your opinions and criticisms and any changes you think may help make her a better, more believable character. She will be very much around.

- I have also reposted my "report" on the progress of Unmei Densetsu's scripting engine here for any that might be even mildly interested. As I come close to completing the scripting engine I will update it again so that everyone knows where the UD Demo stands. Graphically there is not much to show for UD at this moment, but keep in mind that this is the major backbone of an RPG, so once this is completed it will be smooth sailing from here on out. Screenshots of Unmei Densetsu can be found on the second or third page of the news.

- Completion of the Michele Bio & Cryssian refurbish should be the beginning of a bunch of content I wish to begin pouring onto this site. I really must apologize for my lackluster speed, I am trying to reach an equilibrium that will allow me to balance my life out as I should.

- As always, please enjoy, and please ask any questions you want.

News for September 4th, 2004 :)
posted // Saturday, September 4, 2004 5:56 pm

- Well guys, again I don't have anything interesting to read through, browse, whatever you want to call it. I have been doing "one" thing at a time now. I suspect that when I get my laptop (sometime in a couple weeks, depending on how fast my grant comes in) I will be able to work on different things at different locales, but that is not currently the case.

- I've also reduced my SWG playing to very not much at all. I get more sleep now, and I get more coding done. There's not much to do in the game at the moment anyway. I am having a lot more fun playing with my friends in Star Wars RPG (a D&D version).

- In any event, I have been spending putting all of my resources into Unmei Densetsu coding. After practically finishing the Scripting Engine I turned back to the Battle Engine and then will probably move onto the Menu & Map engines (again) from there. I'm putting the finishing touches on the Battle Engine today, actually.

- I will be posting my proposal for AngelBoards version 3.0 soon, also. I've realized that with PHP getting even better and more efficient, I can afford to do the same thing. This new version of AngelBoards will go into testing once Unmei Densetsu coding begins to simmer a bit. I will run it through a Testing folder, even, so as not to break the current code and to also keep things running smoothly. A completely Object-Oriented Forum is due up with that version, which will bring with it some highly commented changes (such as the color scheme for the default stylesheet). Anyway, look for that.

- Structuring of the Federation Crystal Universe website is also under way... I'll be doing something similar to the Star Wars database. So look for stuff like that. I'm sorry things aren't churning out as fast as I want them to, things get in the way, but I am spending every free moment doing stuff.

Seasons' Greetings!!!
posted // Tuesday, December 21, 2004 1:09 pm

- This site has been kept on the backburner for some time now while I have been setting up Federation Crystal Universe ( http://fc-universe.tanime.net ). Plus in the past couple of weeks I had classes to finish up, but the good news in that area is that I passed all of them and am well on my way to getting my Masters' and 2 Bachelors', as well as a Minor [mwah hah hah]. In any event, I have been working on some new artwork, finally finished the MIchele pic and am in the process of coloring it right now.

I have a bit of Angel-Boards 3.0 coded up and more to come soon, though I will be out of town for a week (22nd - 28th) so I may or may not get much done in the way of programming. Unmei Densetsu had been paused while I completed my schoolwork but I should be back on track with that before the end of the break so bear with me. I will also have a couple of more data entries for the FC-Universe Databank (telepathy, Cryssians, and Michele McFadden, for starters) and also some other goodies.

- So everyone enjoy your Holidays and I will give an update when I return.

Amazing Grace. 1/13/2005
posted // Thursday, January 13, 2005 2:54 am

- I wish this update would come with good news, but it doesn't. And even if I may have some good news, it is not my intention to convey any such news today, nor for the next few days, regardless of what I do manage to accomplish.

- At around 4:30PM EST yesterday afternoon (1 / 12 / 2005 ), a day which I shall forever remember as long as I am able... a good friend of mine named Grace Lovegrove was pronounced dead... at a mere 18 years of age. A second-semester College Freshman who was always so full of life, loved to laugh, loved to eat -- and boy could she eat! -- is gone from this world. This is a terrible tragedy to befall all who knew her, and particularly her family. Grace will no longer be running with us... no longer tell any jokes... no longer ... do the 'things she do." However I, as will everyone who knew her, will keep her memory alive in my heart, and will treasure everything that reminds me of her.

- This is a very difficult time for me, as you can probably imagine, particularly if you have been there yourself at some point. All websites that I actively maintain will be presented under a black "mourning" template until such time that I feel ready to lift the veil of grief that blankets me right now. Also, a miniature memorial will appear on this site next to Trevor and Cherrel's very shortly.

- This is a very unfortunate incident. It just goes to show that life isn't fair. That such a person leaves us, and yet disgusting, despicable, murderous people like Osama Bin Ladin continue to live is beyond my ability to understand. I realize that what has occured today happened hundreds of thousands of times over in Asia a couple of weeks ago... and on a daily basis in Iraq... but I don't know those people. This is the first death I have had to endure of someone I personally knew.... And it hurts. It hurts.....

Amazing Grace...
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost ...
But now am found
Was blind but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
T'is Grace hath brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Site Information and what's going on
posted // Wednesday, March 9, 2005 3:33 am

- Tenshi Animétion has not been without updates in the past few months/weeks/etc. . It is simply that a majority of the information and documents that are being published are geared towards the advancement of the Federation Crystal Databank, which has information and graphics related to the largest project ... the core of Tenshi Animétion.

- As such, this site will reflect the most recent update message from FC-Universe.tanime.net in addition to its own updates. Intended updates to the TAnime main site include an update to the iFolio. Unmei Densetsu and Angel Boards 3 are on a temporary hold until I obtain a mobile computing platform, since I cannot focus on multiple documents of completely different tasks at the same time of day, and in terms of priority, document publishing and universe building for FC takes priority.

Tenshi Animétion (tanime.net) Site News - 6.14.2005
posted // Monday, June 13, 2005 8:14 pm

- I've been majorly busy working on the site recently and I'm proud to say that I'm tackling and completing projects at a very steady pace lately. Angel-Boards 3.0 is essentially finished so I have turned to other projects. AB3.0 integrates the forum into whatever template you desire without having to explicitly change the code of the program, so it's a lot easier now to manage the forums for the sites I host off of here.

- I'm also in the process of site beautification and clean-up. I've been working night & day on projects lately, and I expect to finish scheduled work for an associated site by Wednesday, maybe earlier. After which I will be returning to working on Unmei Densetsu and Federation Crystal Universe.

Angel iFolio Update: 7.3.2005
posted // Sunday, July 3, 2005 3:16 am

An update has been made to Angel iFolio. The previous version of this script used a FORM consisting of a drop-down SELECT box and submit button to view various folders. The folder hierarchy display was also very cheesy.

I am pleased to announce a series of updates to this script.
+ Removed need for external file (images.ifolio INI file)
+ Removed a number of excess unnecessary variables
+ Removed extensive script call (index_.php?page=ifolio/ifolio.php) [this is a general site update]
+ Removed Select box and Form and replaced it with hidden tables.
+ Improved the iFolio database tables to use numerical IDs instead of referring to table articles solely by name.
+ Reduced call size and added better page support.
+ Compacted the display list to use up a lot less space and be a bit more interactive.
+ Added a graphic to facilitate comprehension of the tree structure and also just for general aesthetics.
+ Improved robustness of the script by using an array to check for valid image types.

Tenshi Animétion Site News 7.15.2005

The past few days I have been reading a lot on scripting and security related to scripts and databases... partially 'cause I have been come across this stuff when researching stuff on ColdFusion for my job. So I've been working on increasing the security of my scripts across the site.

The last site news update says 7.15.2005. Sheesh. Well, what's been going on? There was a period of apathy mixed with writer's / artist's block, whatever you want to call it -- a creative hole... but recently I've been getting back on track with that. I spend a lot of time on campus, and it wasn't until recently that I acquired my laptop so that I can write while on campus (or code, or whatever else I feel like doing). Still trying to work out some issues with XP64 and the Campus' wireless client software, but other than that I like my MS-1029. It's very quiet, very slim, and very powerful.

So what's up on the creative front? Well, I have been working on Java editors for Unmei Densetsu's data, and I'm currently writing up Setara's bio and background. This is the major thing lately... as I've managed to expand its background from a couple of paragraphs to a page. After designing Michele's bio, I really was a bit upset when I couldn't come up with the same level of detail for Setara. In any event, it probably won't end up being as long as Michele's (I think her's is some 5 pages or so size 10 font), but it will still be a satisfactory read.

I will make sure to make regular updates on the site from now on. A couple of sites have been neglecting their updates and so I know how it must discourage my .. one or two visitors from returning when there's nothing to see. Stay tuned.

Sometimes I just hate Anime - 11.9.2005
posted // Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:58 am

So now I know why I don't subscribe to any of those Anime magazines. I browsed through one this evening and I didn't like what I saw. Every now and then there's a cool piece of art or maybe an add for a tasteful anime in there... but the majority of the Anime that was featured in this particular edition of [ I believe it was ] Animerica reminded me as to why I'm so bitter about the Entertainment industry these days. I wonder if those people responsible for the creation of these Anime titles and of these games ever get laid. So Jen says "They get laid, they make money." I'm like, "Um.. actually Anime artists don't make much money." In any event... just off the top of my head... it's like... none of the women are allowed to wear any clothes. Practically every outfit I saw was either a glorified bikini, and/or involved a bunch of busty tramps in heels. Come now, even the commercial for this upcoming movie Aeon Flux didn't piss me off as badly. She got a point for wearing Wedges instead of stilettos... but lost a point because of the unnecessary breast exposure... so a score of 0 still goes on my bad list -- but she's not on my hate list (at least not yet).

Anyway, back to what I was rambling about... on the back of this particular magazine was a screenshot of Soul Calibur III, which we own, but I haven't built up the tolerance to play... at least not yet. I was looking forward to the game, and then I saw a clip of Tira and her anti-gravity boobs made me hold the game in contempt. So anyway, back to the screenshot... I wonder... did all weird insane swordswoman dominatrix whip-sword women shave back in the day? 'Cause honestly... geez. Soul Calibur III, you're on notice.

I recommend trying Guitar Hero if you have not already. It's a fun game, although I've only played one song : "More than a Feeling" as made famous by Boston. Played it on Easy and Medium. One of these days I'll get a perfect score on it. Anyway, I guess I'll go code a bit more.
