So eb and me are revamping qtv.quakeworld.nu as some might have already noticed.
http://blaps.se/qw/qtv/icons/favicon.png

Implemented:
* New logo/icon/scheme
* More distinguishable which games are running / standby
* Refresh interval is shortened to 10s (was 30s)
* Added levelshots for most missing maps (hi bravado)
* Added new and juicy country flags
* Added qw-network link bar at top
* Added subtle background texture behind logo (experimental)
* Added obituary icon in Atrophy's memory in top right corner
* Added a blink effect to server border during countdown (experimental)

What's next:
* Team scores/names in scoreboard
* Filters/sorting (possibility to show empty servers!)
* Further distinguish servers that has atleast 1 observer, to them with 0

Wishlist:
* Matchtag ("Thunderdome Final", set with /1on1 tag)
* Highlight server (per session) to avoid losing track if resorted
* Rebuild some of the old functionality, like stats, demos, streams page.
* Calendar
* Overhaul of typography to get more of a Q1 feel


Feedback? Comments?

Looks very nice! Maybe replace "missing levelshot" message (can't see it now, no-one's playing atm.) with some default pic?

What a great surprise when I opened QTV )
It looks more modern, very cool, personally I prefer the servers in the middle of the page though.

Hold your horses, dirtbox, it's not finished yet. I still have to replicate the old API from Atrophy, so that ezquake's /qtv, /find and /find_update commands work again. After that, we should message the developer of the Chrome extension, because he will just need to change the base URL, instead of adapting his code to my current API.

same here, looks like a bug.

The countdown blink effect is eye rape Maybe use some special colour for indicating that the countdown has started?

I'd say that the average consumer would not be interested in seeing "Missing levelshot" displayed. At least for me that associates with "there's a bug or something going wrong", I'd rather see some default pic with something QW related without any "indication of failure". However others may feel different about it, no big deal anyway.

Maybe if the mapname contains "slide" or "race" the image could be a slope you slide on, or for race a classical race car flag or something. Categorical images.
