Guest madbeetle Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yes madbeetle.com is moving. You can get at it here http://209.128.118.99:5305/ until the domain is transfered. I got fed up coffing up £17 a day to keep it up because of the band width issue. So to america it goes, it cheaper hosting over there. Read the bad press on the 'pay for it please', it is only £2 - come on guys/gals thats not even a pint of beer. I have spent lots of time on this now - and still am. Which means my new games not getting written :-( Hopefully madbeetle.com's transfer goes OK, can take upto 24 hours. Got to workout how to setup the email accounts now .... Theres a couple of new homescreens there now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest madbeetle Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 He said the files have to be signed, otherwise it will not work. That's why it has the 'demo' flashed on it in order for you to sign the file. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The signing is so I get the home screens sent to me, and can put them on my site to attract the traffic. Then hopefully whilst your there you might buy a game or something. Signing only affects the home screen designer, not the end user. Most users don't have a clue what that xml even means or cares they just want a cool homescreen. Upgrades are difficult to manage, I have in the past and will in the future always try to send out any bug fixed versions to all the email addresses I collect from the sales sheets sent by handango etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lynxlynx Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 thx for all the answers! I have no problem with paying, it is a fair price for what you are buying!...but if and when i pay I would like to get the "full" product. no signing process....its a big hazzle for me. what if you are on vacation for say 4 weeks...do you hand over the signing process to someone else?or get ill..... nah pls skip it somehow. anyway its a very cool product you have made! thx!

Guest demusss Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I've just had to switch off/on my c500 and the plugin has stopped working. All I get is the picture of the homescreen and its not animated. I've tried switching homescreens but that doesn't help. Has anyone rebooted their phone and the plugin still works? Thanks Demus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a basic app at the moment and needs some reworking first.

Guest madbeetle Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 that's sounds great <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yea, I think the PPC should be do-able. First though Im going to work on the editor. Make that a little better, then I'll look at the PPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MikeZQ Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 What happened to the link for the animated home pages on the MadBeetle web site??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I noticed this too so I tried http://www.madbeetle.com/homescreen.html which gives... Due to a contractual agreement, the animation plugin has been withdrawn until further notice. The homescreens can be downloaded from www.modaco.comA contractual agreement with who I wonder ? I assume they are not signing any more animated homescreens (for the time being). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest martin Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I think we need to find out from Madbeetle when the plugin will be available again. They have temporarily withdrawn the plugin from their site :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsutton Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 And now http://www.madbeetle.com is gone... just 'Under Construction' - hope nothing serious happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madbeetle Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 No idea why www.madbeetle.com has gone. Have contacted the host support - waiting for a reply. We will continue to sign animation files. Not sure what will happen at the moment in the long term with the plugin. Its all too complex to discuss ...

Guest martin Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks for the reply It seems that www.madbeetle is back up and working now :D I hope this great plugin can be re-released #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
