Some news from the Files Archive...
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2006 7:19 pm
Recently, I've implemented 2 new things on the RND Files Archive
You can now see a Download Log for all your downloaded files. This requires that you are logged in and have some files that has been downloaded, of course.
You can now also massdownload ALL of a category's or user's levels directly. Do this by going to the info page for a category or user and press the "Massdownload link".
The files will be compressed into a directory in a .tar.gz file. All the single-level files (*.level) will be put in a seperate directory together with an auto-generated levelinfo.conf file. With this massdownloader, the download counts for the files will probably increase faster. (A check is still done though to prevent people from incrementing the download count on purpose)
Unfortunately, the player's or category's levelgroups will not be unzipped and ready to use, you must unzip these yourself. I do hope, however, that one day the files archive can check the format of all zip files and see what it contains, to decide if it should create a levelgroup for the zip-file, or include the zip-file together with another or something... all that is a project for the future. I don't know if or when it will be avalible, but I hope it will be some day.
I can also let you know that since this Tuesday February 25th 20:00 CET the files archive has had:
100 downloads
6 users signed in (Zomis, Ryan, Tomi, Sascha, HerzAusGold, Francesco)
6 new votes
2 new files
A statistics page for the files archive will probably come later. I don't know when, but it will come
So, keep on using the files archive
