So Im not sure if this is what your saying but are you talking about a kind of M&B fan/help/mod site? That would be cool and I would certainly do whatever I could to help =).

M&B Mod-Related Websites (Updated 2-27-06)

To clarify, it would be a place for anyone who wanted to share mods, maps, utilities, guides/tutorials, or other such files for M&B. They could upload their file and share the download link with others, such as here on the forums. It would have no ads whatsoever and woudn't require you to go to a seperate page to download the file, they would be direct downloads.
I'm not really planning to make a full-fledged fan site, just the files (upload, download, and browse them). I could have a few major resources such as mod utilities or modding guides featured at the top, above the other files.
Who knows what's down the road, though?

I've fixed up the PHP scripts and they're pretty much ready to go, other than a couple of file issues I need to write code in to take care of.

Since I've got it mostly set up, here's the link for an idea of what it would be:

http://www.fenrisoft.com/mb_repository/

If there's interest, I'll finish up the work on the script and start allowing people to upload.

Looking good there with the possibility to sort the files, any chance of categorizing different downloads? Also if we are allowed to upload files it would be smart to make some sort of rules for descriptions and what kind of files you are allowed to upload. :wink:

How many people are interested in a place for free hosting of mods and other M&B files, with no ads or other crap, and allowing direct download links to files? I've got a few gigs of storage free on my hosting plan and about 90gb/month free bandwidth for it. I've also got an upload script ready and tested which will allow people to directly upload their files, without having to go through a middleman.
I've seen a few people one here having trouble finding a decent place to host their files, so I thought I'd make this offer.
Note that this is not an offer to host random screenshots or avatar pics or such. Unless they're really special. :roll:

This thread is to gauge interest for a central place to host a lot of mods, maps, guides, etc.

If you're interested, just reply. If a few people are interested I'll go ahead and finish setting it up, and post a link.

 :D You deserve a pretty picture!

This sounds good. It should be handy for the Detail props mod. I somehow don't trust the websites that end in .de or any other funny combination of letters.

I'll probably be uploading something on there soon then.  :wink:

I'll probably script in separate categories after it starts getting some files, and set some rules requiring a proper description. At the moment I need to iron out those kinks first.
The kind of file extensions allowed are quite limited, if you look towards the top of the upload page. I can easily add in new extensions later if need be.
The request page indicates what categories of files are acceptable, though I might need to clarify that in the future.

Cool, guess I better hurry up and fix those issues then. I'll probably have them done later tonight, but at least by tomorrow night it'll be fully functional.

By the way, the request page is working. So everyone, feel free to request upload access.
I also need to clarify the request page to indicate that I'm not too picky about letting people upload.

I love the idea, I'm pretty sure this will catch up.

What about a voting/commenting on files feature? ;)

Well, got those issues taken care of. The site is ready for uploads now.

Heh, more feature requests? I'll probably add those in the future. I'll need to hook up an SQL database for those, and it'll take a bit of work.

Nah, not really. I'm hoping some people who make their own little mods will be more likely to share them this way, so I can get my grubby mitts on them, and I won't have to go through those annoying ad-ridden file sharing sites. :roll:

I'd volunteer to help with what I can, though I can't offer space or bandwidth (I'm at college).  Sounds like a great idea, though. :wink:

Just so everyone knows, the site is going to undergo a massive change in the next couple of days. I'm switching to a CMS system with a decently developed downloads module which I've been customizing. It'll have all features people have asked about so far (categories, voting and comments, etc.).

Maybe we'll start seeing some downloads hosted at that point.

Also since it's within the framework of a CMS system, it'll be easy to expand the site later if I want to add in other content besides just plain downloads. I could even assign people rights to moderate and post articles. Gettng ahead of myself here, though.  :roll:

Well, you might wanna hold up for a bit then... the download directory is going to change. Unfortunate side-effect of the switch, so I guess it's good that there have been no uploads so far.  :lol:

I'll probably have the switch complete tomorrow, but at the outside it'll be the day after tomorrow.

The new one will allow people to register, send password reminders if need be, and all that good stuff. Unregistered users can download the files. Registered users can vote on them, add comments, and send PMs. Finally, a user group called "File Contributors" will have upload access. So to request upload access, people will just have the "what do you plan to upload" field to contend with, and I can then just add them to the upload group and send an e-mail through the system to them saying they have access.
Guess I've rambled on long enough. :)
