Thoughts on how to add mods to the site

  - Keep the idgames2 directory structure as it is. This requires the filepath/location to be a field in the database. Newer mods will go into one big messy directory. Alternatively the idgames2 stuff could be put into that dir, with just the old original location being a static field. --- //[[spirit@quaddicted.com|Spirit]] 2012/08/06 11:17//
  - Use tags to organise everything. --- //[[spirit@quaddicted.com|Spirit]] 2012/08/06 11:17//
  - Use the old multiplayer map code for this? --- //[[spirit@quaddicted.com|Spirit]] 2012/08/06 11:17//
  - More than one screenshot should be possible. Maybe a number_of_screenshots field and the files being named $zipname_X.jpg. --- //[[spirit@quaddicted.com|Spirit]] 2012/08/06 11:17//
  - What about Darkplaces or FTEQW exclusive mods? What about standalone games? Generally I want them. But also the DP ones? No. Definitely not Nexuiz and Xonotic. But some others would be great. --- //[[spirit@quaddicted.com|Spirit]] 2012/08/06 11:17//
  - How to measure the amount/scope of a mod? The old partial/total conversion issue. http://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/www.quaddicted.com/ & http://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/www.quaddicted.com/category/rant/index.html (oh poop, the webarchive of quaddicted is bollocks) --- //[[spirit@quaddicted.com|Spirit]] 2012/08/06 11:17//
  - From/with Spike: "new gameplay", "new levels" and then have partial and total as categories for the "new gameplay" mods. This seems to work just fine with tags. Random ones: maps:new, (maps:stock), gameplay:new, gameplay:id1, gameplay:partiallydifferentwithsprinkles, mod:total, mod:partial, mod:minor, mod:fixes, mod:fish etc. Then the listing could be split into different subpages by them.
  - - That would even work for engine specific stuff: engine:fteqw, requirement:something, dependency:something  --- //[[spirit@quaddicted.com|Spirit]] 2013/08/05 20:59//
  - - It would also support having a "deprecated" tag for previous releases (see quoth, its, ivory etc).  -Spirit
