I need to know everything you guys want for mods.
What I assume:
SC Version

I guess that's all I know.

Catagories:
Total Conversion
Medium/Heavy Conversion
Minor/Light Conversion
Incomplete/Experimental

Files included (Like scripts and readmes)

The ability to include screenshots and say if a mod is grafted or not. A fairly good filesize limit would also be nice, since some mods can grow pretty large.

Everything said above and a Grp Section because thats always helpful.

+Modifications
-Total Conversions
-Heavy Conversions
-Minor Modifications

+Files
-GRP files
-Portraits and other SMKs
-Other graphics (custom .bins, custom terrain and such, palletes)
-Other files (random .dat files, some random iscripts, cool fgps, tbls and others)

That should do it. You could add sounds but it would be a good idea to merge mapping sounds with modding sounds as well.
You save time and space ( Einstein!)

Basically everything the Maplantis has...

And more .

Sure, but tell me what that "more" is ;o

SC Version for modifications
Grafted for modifications (right? what's this?)
Files included (assuming more than one (zip))

Grafted is the very lame way to say "Memory edited"
I'd say.
+Mod
-Title
-Description
-Screenshot thumbnail
+Information
-Required version (1.07, 1.10, 1.11, 1.11b, 1.12b, 1.13, 1.13e, 1.15) I'd suggest a texbox instead of maplantis dropdown
-Memory edited (Yes,No)
-Files inside the mpq
-Rating
-Comments.(useful for short bug finds that need to be fixed or anything r light discussion about it)

Files inside the mpq? That's impossible for me to do automatically atm. So unless you want to do that manually...

Ah nevermind.
Maplantis does not do that either. I thought you were able to do so. I was just being crazy I guess.
anyway, yeah files inside the .zip would be okay.

How about the option to add screenshots after uploading, and not being required to take screenshots to upload the mod. And the option of being able to reupload the mod, so that we don't need to have SCFC Beta, SCFC 1.0, SCFC 1.1, etc.

Updating files to replace? yes
There might even be the possibility to update files and not replace them, so that one file can contain different version to download without making different listings in the database (so that diplomancy 7.5 and diplomancy 7.7 won't be 2 seperate entries).
Uploading screenshots after upload? Of course. And I hope you like our plans that involve around this.

If you guys want it, I wouldn't mind doing it. It's just impossible for me to do unless I can get stormlib working on linux.
