Title: Uploading Descent 1 Missions?
Post by: Darkflamewolf on August 06, 2010, 04:37:25 AM

There doesn't seem to be a category for such missions. So Descent Vignettes and other D1 missions I'd like to upload must wait. Is there such a category already planned?

Good point.  (how did we miss that?)

Any way, it's there now.  :D

Also ... There is now a place for any D2X-XL only missions.  If the other Mods agree, I'll be moving that under the Descent 1 & 2 grouping.

Then I can upload the new Pumo Mines 3 level release to that new D2X-XL section?

Oh wait... It's too big for uploading it here (109MB)  :(

Do the same thing you did last time Pumo. Have a download txt file with links to the actual download file.

EDIT: I uploaded all I'm going to upload. Sure, I've made quite a bit more levels for all three descents that aren't shown up right now. But I only picked out the best ones to upload of my collection. If anyone wants to see more up there or have a request for me to upload one I missed that you want: let me know and I'll put it up!

Yeah, I will use the same ZIP with the text file i used on the DMDB.

And good to see your levels uploaded here. You got some real masterpieces there (specially TEW, Vignettes and Lost Levels ;) )

I will admit, with the current format we have now for view Descent missions, it seems a bit inefficient at the moment. Maybe a basic list/table format would suffice and if you feel interested in the level, click on it to reveal the bigger expanded view of the level entry. Right now, I can see this database format getting unwieldy visually with hundreds of missions uploaded. But that's just my suspicions.

Something like that may be best left for another site, honestly, unless there's a plugin that does it already or someone is willing to write one (do we have any PHP programmers here?)

If the file is too large to upload via the files script, put it somewhere like FileFront, create your Gallery or Files item and pm me links to both the Files or Gallery item and the file, and I will upload it via ftp and add the download to your file item.
