Firstly, I've come to the decision that I want to rework the UCP completely from scratch. This is something that has been brewing in the back of my mind for a few weeks now but here are the reasons that I've decided it's the right thing to do:
- We're now utilizing a modern PHP framework which means better security, performance and features for the UCP
- Development on the current UCP (due to the way it was designed & developed) has become cumbersome and time consuming for even the smallest of features
- I want to rework the design from scratch. Although I've had many compliments regarding the design of the UCP that was in development (thank you all by the way!) I just feel that it isn't working and isn't up to the standard that I feel it should be
Although this now means the UCP may take even longer to be released I feel that it would be unfair for us to release something that we did not feel was up to the standards that we expect from a server. The decision was not taken lightly and I hope that the new framework being used means development will take less time than it would have done if we had persisted with the old UCP.
One more thing before I end this post, with the new design we really want the UCP to be something special in both functionality and design. That is why I am reaching out to the community to see if anybody feels they have the skills to be the official web designer for the User Control Panel then please PM me with some of your previous work or just a design that you have created.
Here is what I am looking for:
- We are NOT looking for developers, just web designers
- You do not need to know how to develop websites but some understanding would help
- Previous work/Portfolio is required
- Knowledge of Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/XD is preferred
- Understanding of what we are developing (i.e. not just designing a website, designing a control panel with UX in mind)
- All work (as with all developers) will be voluntary and you will not be paid for your work
If you feel you fit this skill-set then feel free to PM me either on the forums or discord with evidence of previous work and we'll see where it goes!
Thank you everybody for reading and thank you all for your support, I should have more time on my hands over the next month or so which means I'll be able to dedicate a lot more time than I have currently been able to invest in development!
Edit: I've seen some people making the assumption that this means the server won't be released for even longer - I just want to clear things up now that the UCP development is independent of the server release. The server will almost more then likely release with a UCP of some form alongside it, however features of the UCP may be missing from the first release. When the gamemode developers are ready to release the server they will do, they will not be waiting for the UCP to be finished also.
man like charlie doing bits
I didn't see the UCP. Someone got some photos with it? I really wanna se it. Thanks.
looking good fellows
Amazing, looks good.
Hello everybody!
Sorry it's been such a long time since my last post.
I just wanted to share a little update.
The UCP application system is now complete and here you can see a preview of how the system will function:
Development of the new UCP is very much underway, although it is still some time away from being finished. The only thing that is finalized in the video above is the application system, the homepage is in no way finished and should not be considered such until stated otherwise!
Let me know what you guys think and what things you would like to see in the UCP.
Until next time, Happy new year!

What language is it written in?
I honestly hope it's written in English. Otherwise the people who only speak English are fucked.

Sorry, I meant what programming language was used to create the UCP.
