Ok, this is rather annoying to have a lack of a current mini-mod database...
What I am volunteering to do is to create a mini-mod database using PHP (no mySQL, don't know how to use it) that can easily be maintained and added to. No knowledge of HTML required. So, if HLP will host it (or if I can find suitable hosting...) I will create it. It probably wouldn't be to hard to make a review segment for it too...
Note: I'm not PMing this to an admin because I want to know if there is a major demand, or if HLP is not available for hosting, if someone else would be.
-
well? post and tell me what you think of the idea...
-
i say do it!
and create a listing of other MODs too, since Volitionwatch and/or HLP don't have all the latest ones
-
what I am proposing would have a form with a place for mod name, 2 screenshots, a link to a file (not uploaded to HLP...), and a short description, so theoretically you could put any mod up that you wanted...
-
yes! sounds like a plan!
why not uploaded on HLP (just curious)
?
-
'cause I have no idea how :D
-
and it could be potentally dangerous if people start uploading 50 meg files and such...
-
Preferably an admin revew, too. Only, have it uploaded so the admins can come to it at their leisure and not be bombarded by submissions.
It should also include some of the mods in the HLP and VW archives.
-
Minimod? Define what you mean by that.
-
A single weapon, model, background, or other alteration not dedicated to a specific campaign or project. The Archangel springs to mind as an example.

yep, thats exactly what I had in mind...
I was thinkin that people could specify links to their own stuff, and none of the data files for it would be encrypted. The user would put their stuff in, and occasionally the Admins would check it and make sure that all is spiffy. If it isn't, then they modify the file that stores all the data in it, and upload the changed file. All fine and dandy now...
-
WHEEEEEEEEEE! (take that as a yes to this plan)
-
I got it about 3/4ths finished now...just need to fix a few more errors, and make it look spiffy...
-
ALRIGHT!! I finished it!!! Some admin-type person please give me your e-mail adress so that I can e-mail you the stuff so that you can put it on the forum. I would put it up, but the webserver that I have access to doesn't support PHP.
w00t!

*waiting...*

I'll just send it to sandwich...I have his e-mail addy around here somewhere....
-

-

-

I'm quite busy with RL™ stuff ATM, but I'll post it as an attachment in the Staff forums - someone else can deal with it if I don't get to it.
Of course, it'll have to be approved and all...

thank you! If you want any changes, e-mail me or PM me...
-
HaHa! I sparked all this off! w00t! Anyway, great idea, but will it last once its up?
-
So long as there are submissions and everyone checks it once in a while. If we can sort it by date and number of downloads we can see at a glance the most popular and newest mods are.
-
sorry....I don't know how to do a d/l count, but they are automatically sorted by date....newest in any catagory is allways at the top.
-
Oh my God! :lol:
Look at what my first post on the HLP boards was!
