Well, I have some (not infinite^^) motivation and time to work some more on the scripts. So I want to know what is most important. Come up with some detail changes as well as interesting new features. Of course interesting new features are more fun to implement than changing the small stuff ;)
On my list already:
- page numbers for maplist
Be creative, what could really help, expecially to make it easier to play together more?
* there should be like a "Play Me" feature. Like forum with only templates you fill in, like
Play Me forum:
Player | Time | Map | Gateway | chan
Starparty | 12.53 | (4)Arena1.1 | Euro | #bwmn
Listoric | 13.32 | FPM | East | #coke
Lets say you wanna play vs me. Then you click my thread and see additional info like comments and how long im gonna be there. and the you can accept so anyone else can see that the game is busy.
When yo create this gamecard you set a starttime and a stop time, and your card will dissapear when the stoptime has passed.
the stoptime is naturally how long until you dont wanna wait to play any longer. Yu shouldnt post a card if your not willing to wait until your stoptime ends to recieve an opponent.
The card will also contain exact screenname on b.net and additional contact info like msn so you can be contacted if your away from b.net surfing and waiting.
I did some of the smaller ones. About the play me feature, I think we would need some thing like this, I will think of it some more before starting to program it.
That Play Me Forum looks interesting, if panschk was up to it I think with our current activity it would work nicely. idk how you'd get it working though^^
Don't know if it needs work on the scripts actually but there should really be some opportunity to meet and play (which means testing maps).
Maybe some fixed dates to meet on B-net?
Small Tourneys?
whatever...
Point is I'd really like to play my (and other's) maps but whenever I msged someone online I got no reply. And a map not tested won't be playable; there's always something (often many things)to fix.
Trash is not meant to be cleared totally. It's just a place where you can post maps that might be deleted. As long as we are not in serious danger of running out of space, we shouldn't delete anything but incomplete or unplayable maps.
Recently, I went through the list and deleted the worst maps. Not many, though.
When I made the competition I never thought there was going to be a loser or winner, just a competition to organize all the pimped maps and to encourage people to do it, as with the reverse your map thing, although nasty said he'd post the reversed maps on gg.net (he posted one).
Anyways, I suggest a newspost where both NeoBridge and NeoProving are shown or something like this. A list of all the neo-ed maps would be fine as well, so that we can put an end to this. I don't care if you crown a winner ;)
