The Temple of Odin: Update Archive

Some day I swear I'll get a CSS-based design that works decently for 99% of users' computers. (Time for a Mozilla plug. Get it and every serious web designer will love you forever.)
Anyway, I'm back to using frames again, because I don't feel life waasting my time rewriting it all using tables for exactly what they are not meant for.
I also changed all the gifs (Boo!) to pngs (Yay!) saving 79,048 bytes. Wow.

I finally got the CSS to work fine on NS4+ and IE4+. I ran into a few weird problems which I documented only to lose the file. If you're using a browser that doesn't support CSS, such as Netscape 3, the side bar appears above everything else, but I'm working on a way around that. Please report any problems.

Well, today a brilliant Mr. Eddie Davis e-mailed me with a bunch of tips, most of which I've incorperated into the Strategies section.
Of course, by forcing me to update the strategies section, he prompted me to update the Spells and Armor sections with all the info I've been gathering recently. And it seems I changed the Weapons section a while back but never got around to uploading the changes.

I combined the last two collums in the Enemies section and messed around a little. Also, I added the Wizard.
I changed my comment about whether to choose an enchanted weak weapon or a non-enchanted strong weapon in the Weapons section.
I added a couple comments about Identify and Clone Monster in the Spells section.
I added a tip to the Strategies section, and fixed up a couple others.
Removed the "Add a Link" section. It's now just under Links.
I changed Elven Mail to Elven Chain Mail in the Armor section, because I think that's what it really is, and I added buy/sell prices for it. (162000/90000!)
I updated the URL in the Link to Us section. This is what spurred all these updates.
I made the HTML more compliant and made the headers smaller in all sections.
I'm considering redoing this entire site without frames. I'd use CSS to position the navbar and give the body a left-margin of 140(?) pixels. This will be ugly on IE 3 or Netscape 3 but over 95% of the users should get it fine. Comments welcome.

Well, after Spaceports opted to add two ad frames to my site, I decided to move to a new host. So this site is now hosted on Envy.nu. The URL http://cotwrpg.cjb.net still works.

I added a message board/forum. It's nothing great but it only took me two minutes so I'm happy.

I added Hrungnir to the Enemies section and updated Air Elementals. I also updated the Armor section and added another saved game editor to the Downloads section.

After about a year(?) of downtime, this site is now back up and running. I probably won't update it very often, (read: ever) but whenever anybody e-mails me corrections or submissions I'll try to take care of it.

I added the Slow Monster immunity to the Wriaths in the Enemies section and I added a Saved Game section. Also, I updated the Armor section.
Sunday, Febuary 28th, 1999
I added Buy/Sell to several things in the Armor section, put gauntlets and bracers into their own tables, added a note about how strongly and very strongly add 5 to the attribute. Also I added started the potions section of the Items section and added a few tips to the Strategies section. BTW, if anyone can thing of a good poll question please e-mail me.

I added a button to the side bar. Click it! I also fixed a small error in the Enemies section.
Sunday, Febuary 14th, 1999
While playing yesterday I relised that Globs sometimes drop multiple items so I added that to the Enemies section. Also, I added a tip about putting packs in your belt and weapon slots to the Strategies section.
Wednesday, Febuary 10th, 1999
I added Sultur and some dragons to the Enemies section plus I added some immunities and resistancies for other enemies and I added the Enchanted Helm of Storms to the Armor section. I also added Teleport Away the the Spells section.

This page is now online!
I still need to add a few enemies to the Enemies section and get all the resistancies/immunities plus the Items section isn't really much there yet.
E-mail or ICQ (UIN 704690) any corrections, suggestions, questions, or information to me, please. I really could use your help.
