shieldwolf23 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hi guys, Just wondering if we can have a permanent portion of the website dedicated to User/ Community generated content, similar to Heaven Games. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av93 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 And mods! No need of storage, the page could provide a link. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shieldwolf23 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Why do I have a feeling nobody likes this idea, apart from us guys who participated here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 It's a good idea. You just need a guy to create it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shieldwolf23 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks @wowgetoffyourcellphone. I'm thinking of a space here in the website, similar to the Heaven Games, wherein we, the community, can upload our works and let others download them. This way, it'll be easy to try and review/ comment on other people's hard works of art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 By the way, I also like the idea... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can do a little research and see if there are open source or free or low cost solutions the team can use to add such a feature to the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shieldwolf23 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'm not really tech savvy, unfortunately, @wowgetoffyourcellphone. But I'll try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itms Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I'm not familiar with Heaven Games, but what do you miss exactly? You can already upload and discuss things on the forums, right? If you're talking about the play0ad.com website itself, we could talk about the mods and community contributions more, but that wouldn't be a community-editable space.

Lion.Kanzen Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I think is this, make more easy navigation looking mods and add-ons  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shieldwolf23 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 @Lion.Kanzen is correct. That's what I was hoping, @Itms. Specifically, like this: http://ee.heavengames.com/downloads/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I love modding my RTS 2004-2008 with Heaven content. Â other think important about there, 0 A.D was contributed with many guys from HG. @Mythos_Ruler for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically, like this: http://ee.heavengames.com/downloads/index.php Ah that's clearer. We should think about that, it would be nice to have a list of all the mods existing, that are scattered across the forums. Ideally we could have ratings, etc. In the meantime, what about creating a git repo in 0ADMods which is a curated list of user-generated content? It would be similar to awesome lists that are quite popular. Call it awesome-0ad or something and create a section for overhaul mods, for new civs mods, for map mods, for other tweaks that are not mods etc. Each item can have links to the repo, the subforum or forum topic, the moddb page, etc. You can then take pull requests and make sure the list stays tidy. When the list is displayable enough we can add it to the important places, like the website 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I think that's a good idea to create a list. @niektb what do you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I think that only solves the list sections. However, an essential part of Heavengames is the ability to give reviews and rate the content that was produced... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would already give a lot of directions for newcomers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
implodedok Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 We could of course consider moving 0 A.D. to the Steam platform. It has all the functionality you describe, in the Steam workshop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 And specially now , we don't have Steam Greenlight anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 There are still ways to get the game onto Steam if that's a path that is chosen, but I don't think Steam or any other platform or service should be the only solution. It's not good to force people to use another platform, and especially hard to justify forcing people to use a non-Open Source platform to get mods for an Open Source game. To me the ideal would be if WFG could provide a place where you could search for mods, read descriptions about mods, rate them and comment on them, but where you would click on links to go to other platforms (ModDB, Nexusmods, Steam Workshop?, maybe there are others I don't know about) to get them. That way we would be able to provide a useful place to get information about mods, make it easy for mod authors/mod users to use sites/services they already are familiar with, without us having to either rely on one particular service or take the negative sides of hosting the mods ourselves (bandwidth usage, responsibility if not for the mods working as they are supposed to at least that they don't break the game/your computer). But even that does take quite some work to implement, especially since it would require user accounts and permissions etc. Perhaps could be done as a plugin to the forums, but then that requires knowledge of the IPB code, so not something that will be done overnight anyway =) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
