This could possibly be my biggest ever project, the unofficial app for opticraft!
It will be availible to most android devices and will be compatible with your iPod touch and iPhone.
Unfortunately when I release the app it will not be on any app stores (I cannot afford it) but I will have a system where you email me with an email address and your platform. I will then email you back with the app for your platform. I know that on apple devices when you click save it gets to your app page(s) and works like a normal app. I will give you more infomation on this soon. Any suggestions please reply here.
Do not email me with the email address I have put on my profile.

Okay, the app is complete, email [email protected] with an e-mail and I will send a link to that e-mail.
It will take ages to load the link but be patient when done click on Premium iPhone App if on a apple device or click Premuim Android App if you on a Android device. Install the app. When done goto it the app picture is a red background saying draft app. The app name is AppName1207. It comes up with draft app again when you click on it.
This app is made with a free app maker - I know! This is only so I can see the interest and what to put in the app when I do it properly. Thankyou.
-
I have a paid apple developer account so we can actually put it on the App Store! :)
-
Okay not this one but maybe the next version!
-
Sure. Just pm me when you want it published. And would you be able to send me the source code of this app. So I can just take a look.
-
Just sent it to your email
-
If you want I could help you with the app I have a fair amount of coding knowledge.
-
Ohh that could be usefull thanks. When i get round to making the proper one ill let you know
-
I have a friend whom I create apps with, I can make the official app. Alec then can post it on the app store.
-
I don't think so. I will tell you all now that the only people involved with this app are me and alec.
-
I wouldn't trust any opticraft apps that aren't made or reviewed by dejected or optical, because they might steal your forum information.
-
Mr_Mr_Mr this app does not require your account username or password. It is 100% safe.
-
Also Mr_Mr_Mr some people must trust me cause ive had a lot of people wanting the app.
-
Don't double post, use modify.
And people wanting something doesn't necessarily mean they trust you.
-
H dear. Do u even know how this app works?
-
Yes. Just don't start an argument here alright?
-
We're all friends here. :D
-
i would send this by opti before releasing it, cause i've seen things like these get people into serious trouble because it was not directaly approved by someone who should have approved it, just sayin. Dont take this personally, cause as theone said, were all freinds! =D
-
Yep there shouldnt be any problems cause its an unofficial not the official

How do you post without logging in?
-
Please go into detail what this app does and how you made it,
-
We you see icooliam originally made it with some crappy app builder then I found this and offered to make a much better app doing the code in Xcode (since I'm an apple dev). And the forum thing was originally basically what an HTML iframe is. If it will really make you feel better I can have one of the opti devs look at the source.

All it really does is tell you the news and the top voters.

Sorry, but I think what most people want is full functionality on the Opticraft website. We want to go on forums, vote on the server and do everything else that is on the website.

Well i'm sorry but I have stated that this app needs a lot of developing and that this is only a tester version.
-
icooliam: you've made an app with a free app-maker; that is not an app. If you have no programming experience, no published apps, and aren't taking any input on what the community actually wants in an app, then you have no place in trying to create one. It sounds like Alec2435 is better suited to write a sort of unofficial app (though i don't know the extent of his experience and have never seen any of his code) so I don't understand where you fit in the puzzle.
I don't have the authority or the desire to stop you from trying to create/release an app (even though i believe it would be largely pointless/unused), but it doesn't sound like you would put out a polished, professional product that would set opticraft apart from other servers.
The app needs to be more than just a forum browser/news browser to be successful or worthwhile, it has to be an extension of the community somehow. I don't know how to accomplish that and i'm not interested in thinking it over.

I don't think much else needs to be said in this topic regarding the actual content of the app until this "project" becomes more organized with a prototype and screenshots and whatnot.
whether or not a 3rd party app contains some password stealing device is a problem that the members are going to have to deal with. What's stopping someone from releasing an opticraft-based app (or other product/program) designed to steal passwords, without ever bringing it to the attention of the forum? We can't possibly police that, so it's up to the users to know and avoid the risks involved with a 3rd party app.
-
Why would you need an app based around a forum website? The most it could do would be optimizing the site for mobile, and that is fairly useless. You can create a link on your home page on both android and apple so just do that if you are looking for an easier access point to the site. If their were to be an official app made it would definitely need to go through optical, he might even want to look into doing some of it himself.
Also I agree with csurchz, the app would need something more than just a forum browser. Probably links to mumble, irc and player rank lists. Stuff like that
-
Consider it done. I always needed a shortcut to irc and such. I know coding for Apple and such, I just need the time.
-
Then snape you are officially replacing icooliam in building this app sorry icooliam but you just have no coding experience or understanding and are using the worlds shittyest app builder.
-
This is pointless. The app, even if anyone DOES make it, would be useless. A mobile site maybe would be nice, but not an app. I need to be able to log in and check the staff forums, I cant do that if I cant log in. There is no "officially replacing" here, you both can make the app, there is no certain person to do it. Im locking this, because its pointless.
-
Just wanted to say this (sorry for posting in a locked topic) but alec that was a real dick move. This really shows why you wont get anything done. Someone says they have a tiny bit of coding experience and you immediately request they join the project without any talking or anthing.
