CrossFire Smartphone App

ZEWFWE

Hello there,

I was looking around for this in the search already, but didnt found that much about it, so I thought I might ask about it in a new Thread here.
To keep things short:

I'd like to hear your oppinions about having a mobile app to bring everything from CF's site into an usable and smartphone-friendly way.

There's an app for CrossFire Stars (CF E-Sports) - but this is only for Tournaments and stuff like that (and is only available for iPhone though I'm on Android).

Just curious because I want to find out whether I should go any further or not... (definitely not a hidden sneak peek)

How did you get that information from his post at all?.. He wants the site as an App so it's easily accessible for phone users.

I agree it should be done.

Just make this site responsive. And buy SSL btw.

Wouldn't it be cool if we can buy and spin crates, adjust our inventory and buy in-game items trough the app, And then use it in-game when you get home.

Alright, great.
Thanks for sharing your opinions guys.

It would be nice if a GM/Mod could provide a statement or further information about using (not self hosting) any kind of CrossFire related graphics - e.g. displaying weapons inside an 3rd party app.
I saw already people which were sharing actually quite original looking CrossFire graphics in the Fan-Art section here (with proper credits to smilegate/z8/etc) - but I couldn't find any official statement/agreement about their permission of sharing those.

If there's anybody who can provide further information about this I'd appreciate their feedback.

Not gonna happen. Things can be exploited much easily on web than they can on specific programs.

Well I can partially agree on that. The only rock-solid part of CF is everything related to ZP purchasing.
However, it is possible to implement the WebShop itself - including not only viewing but also buying items for ZP & EP.

he said on the app not on the website, web and app are different things

I suggested that as well in the past.
Also a mobile version of the forum would be good. There is a problem with forum and mobile data (4G,3G, etc...), you login but when you press to reply somewhere it logs you out and you have to login again, in other words you can't post at all.
With WiFi works great but still a mobile layout would be awesome.
Btw this is suggestion and as suggestion should be here: Suggestions
