GreenAsJade Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi All, The job of transfering mods from Todd's CMMODS to the new CMSFMods Warehouse is underway. You are welcome, encouraged, thanked etc to help! The entire list of mods from the old site is available at the new site. This means all you have to do is find a mod that you have that isn't uploaded yet (the search function is good for this) and ... upload it! A million thanks to Der Alte Fritz, who is the hero of this sort of activity. Beat him if you can! There is an RSS Feed available for the new site, so if it suits you, you can use this to track what's been put up there recently. When the rate of posting slows, I may also arrange to have new entries posted here with pictures. Enjoy. GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This is cool. Thanks for this. I'll see if I can put together something new to celebrate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreu Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I like the new layout. The usability of the respository is an absolute nightmare, that's why I'm glad that there is an alternative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 If you like I can have the RSS feed imported to this forum similar to how the Repository postings work. Any interest in that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Wow. Thanks for the work moving CMMODs over. I mean, really, "Thank you"! Regards, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Moon - that could be cool. It's probably worth holding off a little while before doing that, because there will likely be a couple of hundred uploaded from CMMODS in the next week or so, no point in filling up the forum here with one per mod! Once it settles down to "new mods" being added, then a forum notification makes a lot of sense. Another possibility is to have the new site post the notes here directly. This would have the advantage that the preview thumb could be linked in here - not sure how that would work via RSS. GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well, the forum software grabs anything you send it via the RSS feed. Normally images are not included in feeds but there are ways around it probably. Each new entry in the feed would get its own thread, just like the repository listings do. I am not sure what you mean exactly with "have the new site post the notes here directly" but it sounds like there would be security issues with that. Good point about waiting a little to not overload the forums. Simply email me when you think it's a good time and send me the URL of the feed(s) to use.

GreenAsJade Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 That champion uploader, Der Alte Fritz, uploaded about 70 mods/scenarios in the last couple of days. I've been rushing along behind him making sure they all have preview pictures and reasonable categorisation (unfortunately the info we got from CMMODs for CMSF mods/scenarios was a bit of a mess). I'm also in the middle of separating out Mods from Scenarios, so that we can have a separate "Scenarios" tab. GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 GreenAsJade, Any chance of getting the TOW1 and TOW2 mods (files) to your site? I am a fan of all the combat mission games and also play TOW. I am not sure how to help but if you give me instructions I will. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Interesting question. I could make a site just like the CMSF one, except for TOW. Is there real demand/need for this? GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I know I would like to see it. I know TOW 1 is all but dead but TOW 2 is a recent release. I contacted some of the guys - Tartari, rofl, about uploading to your site. They had some pretty good files and it would be a shame to let them just disappear. Hopefully you agree, if not thanks anyway. I am sure everyone appreciates your work to save and consolidate the files on your site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodkin Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 thanks for all your work on this GaJ, but is there any chance of improving the search function on the site so you can select a drop down of types to be searched and then a sub search of date added or author etc. The mods are already categorised into types but it's unclear to a new user what the different types are that they can search under. Once again thanks for your commitment to the CM games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Yep - improving the search is the next thing on the list. Specific suggestions (like yours) about how it should work are very welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaJ __________________ Combat Mission Mods Warehouse - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret Do you have to make another site? Or are you talking about adding a link which just takes you to another site page? Sorry for my misunderstanding. I do not think you will have a large audience for the TOW1 game but TOW2 seems to be doing OK. I will purchase it in the future. It just seemed appropriate to put this Battlefront game with the others as it was on the cmmods site. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 I haven't looked at TOW - would there be both scenarios and mods? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 eniced73 ... ... what the heck, a couple of hours work, there it is: A shiny new (totally empty) TOW Warehouse Please start populating it cautiously, let me know if something looks broken. If it goes smoothly, we can let the rest of the TOW players know about it GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hah - right away I know the first problem you will have: some of the fields of the mods and scenarios will have no options, because there is nothing in there to set an example. Upload a few, let me know when you're done, and we'll set up a few fields that make sense after that. GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 sweet. I am going out of town today so I will not be able to try anything until sun. night. Thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 @GreenAsJade i have a question, my CMMODS user name was Jok, in the new CMMODS site i used my forum name, Pandur, to correct this mistake. now the problem i have is that i will update one of my scenarios for 1.20 but i cant do it as i am not "Jok" so is there a way to simply delete the old scenario and i put up the new as a new entry when its done? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 It sounds easier for me to just change the author and uploader of the old Jok to Pandur. Shall I do that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 yes please, if that is possible it is much easier i thought maybe its not so simple to change this like it would sound. great, thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
