Zarel's Map and Mod uploader!

[Zarel]

We will eventually have an official map and mod database!

Right now, we don't have enough mods.

You guys can help, though!

Submit your maps and mods here:

http://guide.wz2100.net/addons/index.php?p=submit

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE include map previews and screenshots!

Before submitting, make sure that:

Multiplay mods are named: modname.mod.wz
Campaign mods are named: modname.cam.wz
Global mods are named: modname.gmod.wz

This is great!
You should add another tab at top for that database. As well for lobby...
How do we view uploads?

Going to: http://guide.wz2100.net/addons/index.php?p=submit

will give a list of addons that you have uploaded (you can edit them, etc).

You can't view and download addons other people have uploaded yet, but I'll add it soon.

How does it figure out whose have been uploaded by you?

[Zarel]

Right now, it's just by IPs. The next time I get the chance to talk to Kamaze, I'll try to hook it into the phpBB/Trac login system.

In that case, I won't upload more mods until you do that.

But it will be great!

What about my Map Collection?

Okay, I have a basic list here:

I'll work on making it more fancy later today.

What about my Map Collection?

What about it?

You can upload each map individually. You can't upload the whole collection, though.

You can upload each map individually.

I'll stay away from it.

Looks good enough. It just needs pages, more sorting, search box.....

In what language is it written it?
Could you maybe release its source?

Note that this is only for maps with proper licensing, ie they are your maps, or the author has given permission to use it under the specified license.

I redesigned it a bit. More pages will come when there are enough maps/mods there to warrant it.

Search box... yeah, I'll add that later.

In what language is it written it?

It's written in PHP.

I'll release its source when it's finished, and on its on page at addons.wz2100.net.

Hey, it looks nice. I'm wondering if it'll work only for final versions or if the files can be changed at any given time.

Also, adding classification to the maps would be nice: Make the uploaders select 2c/4c/8c and terrain set while uploading, what do you think? Would make it much easier to search for more specific maps later-on (when there's a lot of maps).

But hey, it's a great idea & initiative! A repository makes things much easier for those looking for new stuff.

You haven't submitted a single map or mod - how do you know we don't already have these features?

(Hint: We already do. Every single one. Yes, the files can be changed at any time, although each change will need to be reapproved.)

This will be a terrific boon all around, no doubt. It will inspire many over time and be a force in growing the fan base as well, I believe.

Will you have a field for gamers to come back after downloading and comment (perhaps even rate) the mod or map after they have experienced it ? Share their thoughts. Something like what Amazon customers do after purchases.

A meritorious effort - to go along with your many others on behalf of the game and its community.

Cheers, RV

Commenting and rating are indeed planned.

I've looked at the page, and didn't find any way to "filter" the maps by those qualities. But if it's planned (as I thought they'd be), then just go on with the good work, as always!
