Download Database suggestion

#1 · July 2, 2008, 2:35 pm

I've seen 2 instances this week where I think it would be a great help to have a persons vmf file available to help them with a problem. As it stands now the person could just upload to the WIP section and make a note that "this file is here for help purposes only" or something to that effect.

My suggestion is to have a section on the database for these types of situations and have that section for members only. I don't know how necessary it is or if we should just continue to use the WIP section. What's your opinion?

my opinion is that it would be sufficient if the attachment allows uploading vmf files :wink:

Test Chamber 74:
(percentage calculation sphere self-test failed!)
108.1% done, -8.1% remaining...
Released here!

All maps for Portal (1/2) worth playing are mirrored here.

Or just package the VMF with the BSP in a zip when posting a WIP.
