Hi modder - yeh think every one busy on the gamespy issue - Spoke online with Vatec6000 yesterday I think has also now an idea for this also which sounds cool !!
Yeh as Shadow said at present its about the Database - Some history on it.....
Basically The project for a central Database for all to use was not getting off the ground as we could not get enough people onboard with the right skill sets or time to do the project......
So about 2 years ago I started developing a solution on Drupal 7 - It was a bit rough and ready when Shadow came on board and offered to get involved - Together we worked on the design and fields and what was needed and so on then to Shadows credit he then spent the last 15 months or so keying like a mad man to the point now where we have the biggest online collect of maps and skins........ For maps we now have _: Skins now -: 624 Mods is only 74 but we not had any resources or time to get stuck into that more..........
Vatec6000 prevous autodownloader projects MMDL and so on use the AAAA Database to source the files and we will support him on Pakradar which is going to be awesome
The current situ on the site is
http://www.mohaaaa.co.uk/aaaa/threads/a ... ture.1003/I hope Joto is well and ok but he been offline now for over a month so we been at a loss without the master
I really dont want to give up on Xenforo as Joto has funded this so above link explains our options
And also now Shadow has done some great work on starting on the Resources he mentioned
http://www.mohaaaa.co.uk/aaaa/resources/Some more history on why Xenforo for us and not say PHPBB which is exceelent is we needed a pre made front end for users and forum support as well as being able to support a Database
In my Case I started with Drupal 6 - Joto decided on Xenforo as it was a new cleaner faster solution as Drupal can be become a bit of a beast on modules..................
The problem is I am at the end of my skill set trying to import from Drupal so missing the great man Joto but we are so keen to get it completed.............
I think if the project was not funded I would start again but we are really pleased with xenforo now we are getting up to speed with it
http://xenforo.com/AAAA has mainly just been MOHAA but that was not our intention we just started at first supporting MOHAA but never got the time to populate with Spearhead and Breakthrough as much as we would like..........
As it stands Shadow has more files to upload but I have him on hold at present while we try to work out what to do to progress
With regret Appelpitje did not have access to our post where we started this Project and Joto got involved so he was not aware of all this we were doing
So I think from my point I would have said we are back to square one lets et together and look what we can do but with respect to Joto having spent hs own money funding the project I cant right it off and also now we have invested so much time and effort to get it running to what it is now.............
So when you get chance would be great to have a chat with you about this..............
I am concerned about joto just hope he is busy with life but have no other method of contact with him.
Cheers
Jon
