Airbana UK Airsoft Map - Version 3 Launch 01/07/08

Gareth has sent in word that the new version of the Airbana Airsoft Map is now out:

I’ve revamped the design to make better use of the screen:

general_map_popup-300x225 welcome-300x225 date_add_success-300x225

You no longer need to signup to Add Sites, receive SMS’s or anything like that. Information such as your mobile number is stored on your local computer (cookies for those who care).

There is a lot more AJAX in the site now so it should feel a lot smoother and there is now an array of servers in the back end of things to keep it running fast.

The XMLRPC functionality is now complete so whenever someone clicks on the ‘Prices’ link for a site in Airbana the XMLRPC function will trigger and request http://yoururl/xmlrpc.php and render those prices straight into the Airbana interface ensuring you have the very latest prices on show! For those of you who don’t want to get involved in programming just use the Airbana XMLRPC Generator and upload it to your site!

I’ve put together a how-to that for the moment should whet your appetite for when the site goes fully live and help new users in the long run.

Version 3 also includes an Application Programming Interface which will allow you to expose / utilise Airbana Functionality on your own sites (or Desktop widgits / whatever). Version 3.1 of the API (already in progress) will allow remote clients to trigger push elements (changing elements in the database) and User Comms (sending SMS’s etc).

Users with standards compliant browsers (firefox, opera etc) will be able to make use of the ‘One Click Co-ordinates’ feature when adding a site, simply click on ‘Add Site’, zoom into where your site is then right click, the co-ordinates are saved and you are onto Stage 2!

In response to the defacement attack earlier in the month I’ve had to resort to using Captcha’s on some elements of the site.

Adding Event Dates (Retail sites can have ‘events’ now too!) is now simplified, the map is now also capable of displaying multiple events for one site in a given time period (oversight of mine). You can also edit Event Details upto and including the date of the event. Events that have happened in the past can not be edited.

There’s a new episode of OPSEC Airsoft Radio online:

Hey Arnie,

We had to shift our broadcast schedule a tad which turned into two weeks of shows. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but it is what it is. In 105, we talked about painting airsoft weaponry and covered the listener requested topic of in-game chow. Overall a pretty good show… and we gauge that by how much fun we had making it. 105 has been posted and for those interested, the show is available for download via iTunes (search for “opsec” in the Music Store: Link) or via direct download at the below link:

*Episode 105*
- National Airsoft Events
- New Items of Interest

There’s a new Airsoft magazine out and available for a paid subscription:

Hello!

We are pleased to announce a new player in the arena of Airsoft magazines. We have published a Finnish magazine for three years and secured a loyal base of readers locally. The magazine has been critically acclaimed by many foreigners, who have expressed interest in a magazine of such high level in English as well. Based on the growth of the Finnish magazine, we are finally able to make the dream come true. We present to you, Airsoft Soldier.

Please see our news PDF, available for download from http://www.airsoft-soldier.com/airsoft_soldier.pdf

Cheers,

Sauli Luolajan-Mikkola, (Airsoft Soldier Magazine)

The PDF content is below:

image AIRSOFT SOLDIER IS OUT!

The Finnish Airsoft-magazine Softaaja has been publishing articles and promoting our hobby for more than three years in Finland. During these three years, our magazine has played a part in transferring the local scene from a shady underground activity to one of the largest and fastest growing hobbies for young men.

We have received lots of feedback from other countries that our magazine looks top notch in terms of graphics and layout, but they can not understand our peculiar language. Our magazine isn’t Hustler, so many have genuine interest in reading the articles as well!

Now it is possible: Airsoft Soldier is reality! The magazine has 68 pages, is printed on high quality glossy paper and will be published three times in the year 2008. The first issue is out already, the second one is scheduled for August/September and the third Airsoft Soldier comes out in December.

The magazine is available on our website www.airsoft-soldier.com , where you can order your own copy of Airsoft Soldier. The first issue is only 3 euros delivered to your doorstep. An additional 1.5¤ for postage is added for orders outside Europe. Credit cards are welcome. Subscribers of the magazine get the first issue free of charge!

Airsoft Soldier will be launched officially in Berget 6, Sweden, where the first issue is available for free from the booth of Redwolf Airsoft. Please drop by and have a chat when you aren’t too busy shooting other players!

Episode 104 of OPSEC Airsoft Radio is now up:

Hey Arnie,

We’re back with another rousing episode of the podcast only a mother could love. We expanded a bit on the Combat Photographer role with an interview with Aussie Ken, a photographer who was embedded with the US Army during operations in Iraq. We talked about how we can twist the role to fit an airsoft game as well as the impression needed to pull the role off. With the ever growing number of airsoft manufactures, we thought it would be interesting to cover brand loyalty when it comes to guns and gear. An interesting yet fun night was had by all. 104 has been posted and for those interested, the show is available for download via iTunes (search for “opsec” in the Music Store: Link) or via direct download at the below link:

*Episode 104*
- Special Guest: Fisch

networkairsoft Network Airsoft has launched. I’ve had a quick look and I think it can be best described as an Airsoft Facebook style community website. Do check it out:

On Network Airsoft you can:

  • Create a profile for your airsoft squad and pimp it with pics, videos and blog posts! If you don’t have a squad you can just do the same thing with your own profile page!
  • Buy and sell airsoft guns using the forum
  • Blog about your latest airsoft battle on your very own free blog
  • Write reviews of your airsoft guns and have them featured on the main page
  • Chat about airsoft in the forum
  • Add videos and pics
  • Send send messages and use groups to arrange your next airsoft game

How can I get featured on the Network Airsoft Homepage?
We constantly scour Network Airsoft for anything of substance. If you post a cool video or review of an airsoft gun (or anything we like) in the forum or on your blog we will find it and feature it! (Network Airsoft)
