From time to time it might be sensible to turn off the flash plug-in for safety reasons, or no flash player is available at all (iPhone, iPad etc.).
Therefore important parts of the layout (slogan!) should have fallback-versions or should use html.
So for example a png for the slogan:
Or an animated gif for 0adtitle.swf, rather than the current jpeg:
Or, since browser support increases, a SMIL-animated SVG version:
zip file containing svg and images
Currently only supported by Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox 3.7 alphas, so it's rather something for the future (in 1-2 years or so).
Also, I personally think that 0adwelcome.swf should be replaced by pure HTML, because it acts as navigation menu and neither in gnash nor in swfdec the links are working properly. Without any swf-player it is not visible at all, of cause.
I hope this helps improving the overall look of the webpage on machines without flash,
greets,

I'm just thinking: If this page is translated to so many languages now, would it be useful to introduce something like this? (draft - links for those with disabled js would be needed of cause (maybe flags?), and local addresses)
For German it works quite well.
Possible index.html:
<html><head><title>Redirection by language</title>
</head><body>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
switch (navigator.language) {
case "pt":
location.replace('http://os.wildfiregames.com/index.de.html');
break;
case "fr":
location.replace('http://os.wildfiregames.com/index.fr.html');
break;
case "de":
location.replace('http://os.wildfiregames.com/index.de.html');
break;
case "tr":
location.replace('http://os.wildfiregames.com/index.tr.html');
break;
case "he":
location.replace('http://os.wildfiregames.com/index.he.html');
break;
default:
location.replace('http://os.wildfiregames.com/index.en.html');
break;
}
//-->
</script>
</body></html>

I'm sorry, there is no shorter word. But on my openSUSE 11.1 (KDE4) it looks fine in Firefox 3.5 and Konqueror 4.2.96 anyway, so let's keep it (if it's cut off, it'll stay comprehensible, the word is long enoughForgot to mention one issue: "Wiederverwendbarkeit" is too long a word tongue.gif. It doesn't fit in the margin (at least with my font on Linux)
)

I felt free to add yet another translation.
It's a ready html-file temporarily uploaded to http://www.freenet-homepage.de/meinstuss/index.de.html .
All you need is an icon for the German flag.
As I tried creating a kind of AOE-clone myself a few years ago, but did not get that far ( http://www.freenet-homepage.de/meinstuss/b...browsergame.htm ), and I recently stumbled upon this game's pages I decided to help a little in making it more popular.
Best regards,

I saw this nice flash animation on the top of the page and as an SVG freak I just couldn't resist, you know?
