Due to the sheer awesomeness of Farty and Doodle, you can parse some of your map values correctly now. mostly everything except players/forces. Go to Edit > and push the "zomg don't push me" button.
It will overwrite the current title, and atm, I don't have the color codes in correctly. Apparently they changed or something from the old exe. I dunno. If someone wants to make a list of what colors equal what in hex, I'll fix it sooner. Otherwise just wait till I upload a revamped script.
When you upload, however, you'll still get stuck with the old chk parser, forcing you to send it to the new exe.
It's not really much of an update. I didn't want to fool around too much because I want to rewrite how maps get handled from scratch anyways.

HOWEVER, I do want all your DLDB ideas. If you told me them already, tell me them again. What would make SEN's dldb even better?

The sword and the faith

Maplantis's category picture/organizations combined with the current tag system would make the DB the most ultimate one ever assembled. It also looks very crowded/cluttered and so even if you don't like what I've suggested, it needs some sort of clean up.

The only thing I like about the maplantis database is that the layout looks nicer overall.

The category pictures at maplantis visually look nice, but I don't like the fact that it's the ONLY thing you see on the front page of the database. Compared to the current one at SEN it's lame. It also just gets in the way of actually finding the category you want. Putting in pictures for the categories would be pointless and I like how it's off to the side in a tree form.

I also like how we have recent comments and recent updated listed in the front.

Merging them how?

Also, it may be better to simply strip formatting codes.

Force submitters of maps to choose UMS or Melee with a dropdown box, and then use a dropdown box to add one of the tags that shows up on the main nav.

And if there were any way to generally decrease the stupidity of DLDB users and make them read the FAQ..

Add an "I've already played this", "I've probably played this", "I really want to play this!", "I will play this", "I might play this", "I dont really want to play this" categories, as well as listing all maps you've played on a seperatie page as favorites are.



Some.

Why? If you do not want to play it, then do not. If you would like to play it, do so.

I really see no purpose in this. Also, favorites serves no purpose. This is because you need only download a file once...

please not exactly.

And how about this function: You can subsrcribe members and when that member uploaded a new map -or/and- that map is authored by him you would receive a notice... that's a good feature I think.
Downloads-a-day-count feature

A better rating system!
I suggest these points:
Terrain, sounds, professionalism, fun, replay-value, Newbfriendly (or Userfriendly)

Edit button for Comments

Delete button for recently written comments

Popular-list of maps rated by ratings, in that point, the uploader shouldn't be able to rate that map.


EDIT: How about a "pin file" function?

that's all so far.
(maybe someone already said one point)

Hello

An additional information:
Broken links only exists on those files in the sunken treasure which got a preplaced "scm/scx/program" picture... (the one you get when you don't upload a thumbnail)
For the sound files it works fine.
