    Can you please remove the CliCli ads? They are so annoying, doesnt even fit into the wc3 theme of site.

    The ads pay the bills and gives me an incitament to keep running the site. If you'll take over that role, let me know.

    How much do I need to pay you to replace clicli ads?

    Send me a DM, if you dont wanna discuss it in public.

    Hey, could you please make it so that when you click the latest posts on the right side panel of the front page, you get to that exact post rather than to the first page of the thread the post was made in?

    From what I hear, it's only for resources. Is that the case in your experience too?
    deepstrasz
    deepstrasz
    Yeah, it seems that only resources open to the last post.

    I expected it'd the the other way around. People like @Chaosy have always complained about the reverse.

    I'm sad to hear he took it down. I have a copy of it on my NAS. It's 8 GB and needs some processing. I will get back to you.

    @Archian, should we upload my interview? I kind of don't want it to seem newsy on our YT, so perhaps an unlisted video and then update the threads relevant to the cause?
    deepstrasz
    deepstrasz
    Hey, sorry to barge in. Maybe you should ask your interviewer if he's OK with it?
    Ralle
    Ralle
    Pretty sure he allowed me to post it on our YT channel.

    Is there a way to advance search deleted maps by name? You can only do it for sections like Restricted for instance.
    Also, I can't see any deleted maps after ticking Show Deleted and also ticking all categories/sections. Are maps permanently autodeleted after some time?

    Huh. I was thinking it could have been the "select multiple and apply state" to them or something.

    I am rebuilding the search index now so it will be fixed.

    deepstrasz
    It seems to show fine now.
    Ralle

    Yeah I rebuilt the search index.

    Hey, why do we have a Template tag for Spells? Is there any situation when a spell can be called a template, especially when there's no Template subsection?
    I'm asking because maps with little to no terrain but triggering as foundation for something were uploaded and approved in the Template subsection of Maps.
    deepstrasz
    Ralle
    Ralle
    That's weird. Does it do the same for model subsections? Try marking the repository as read. Perhaps there is some state that's confused.
    deepstrasz
    deepstrasz
    I didn't get the issue on other sections although I can't say I have viewed all the unwatched threads there.
    The problem started happening after the map I set to Simple was moved to Templates from Maps.
    How do I do that thing with the "as read"?
    deepstrasz
    deepstrasz
    I fixed it by writing another post on the thread. Thanks for the tips!
    Ralle
    Time for this month's hive development day. Or rather. Once again I have to split it over two days because I am just so busy.

    Anyway. Today I hopefully have something nice to release. That's the plan anyway.

    There will also be small niceities and fixes. For example, @FlameofChange has a bundle with so many resources that the page takes 5 minutes to load. I cut that down to a few seconds. That's something I will be publishing today 👍.

    Wish me luck :)

    Why do heroes have Patron under their avatar instead of Hero? I just feel patron is a lame contemporary word and hero fits with the Warcraft III theme.
    deepstrasz
    Hey, are the BB codes and BB codes only accessed through the Help text button way down?
    Ralle
    Ralle
    I guess so. I never really thought much about that page.
    deepstrasz
    deepstrasz
    It would do nice justice to it as a button somewhere in utility. Sometimes I forget how to do some things and go back to it. I always link it in the template I post with the reviews on maps. For me it's something useful and I think it's pretty important since most if not all descriptions of resources use that code in one manner or another. A lot of people don't know how to make spoiler/hidden tags and making the page more accessible might lower the chances people don't know those things.
    For instance, I don't use Streams at all and it's not even something HIVE, just a spinoff if you will and that if those there actually stream something Warcraft III related.
    Ralle
    Ralle
    I think it might be a good idea.

    @Archian, a menu button for BB Code documentation?
    deepstrasz
    Hey man, could you make some sort of pop-up or place for examples of map thread descriptions and such when you upload a resource. Hopefully that will reduce the number of users not writing a credits list from the get go or anything at all without reviewers informing them.
    Ralle
    Ralle
    I've long had the idea of a multiple choice test before being permitted to submit resources.

    When a copy a URL from a page in the pastebin, it creates a random string instead of the copied like "3eb46242aad791aefa762d89a01f631aa5c09f1c73c3bae55df33bcaaa769c33caeea5adbc48"
    This doesn't happen with anything else I copy, or other parts of the site
    Is this a problem of HIVE or my PC?
    deepstrasz
    Hey, since today (I think), I keep getting site error pop-up messages when posting in conversations. The message gets through but I have to refresh the page to see it and it also remains in the message box.

    Hey, great that the big buttons are now categorized. In sounds section, I think there must be a filter for music also. --> music / sound effect / sound set / any
    deepstrasz
    "Changes:
    • Yeah... That's about it."
    What sort of update is that? Is it the basis of something secret or a surprise?
    Ralle

    Posting there was an afterthought. The menu took a lot of time to make but was simple to explain.
    deepstrasz

    Kidding but thanks for the thought of the afterthought.

    Hey, can we make a credits list from View in Resources of a map (thread)? I can't find the Text Version or whatever that feature is called.

    Also, that video should make it to the news.
    Ralle
    Ralle
    You can just upload the map but yeah, I should expand the existing feature too. Right now there are two codebases for this feature and I wish to merge them. :)

    Hi, I think that on your HIVE discord server there must be a channel 'hosting' or 'looking-for-more' where people send messages henever they are hosting a map, to gather more players.

    There's #gaming. It's plenty. If you add [hive] to your game name on BNet it will auto post your map.

    Hello, chief. Just want to ask if the only way for me to donate in hive is through upgrading my account as "Heroes"? Is the old way of donation no longer an option to donate to the site?

    Edit: Coz I'm looking for the donate button for quite some time lol
    Ralle
    Ralle
    I have removed it. I felt weird about having both. You could become a hero and immediately cancel and will stay hero for a month. That's one way at least :)
    Sclammerz
    Sclammerz
    I see. However, I believe it would be a good option for someone who is unable to commit to a monthly subscription. Nevertheless, thanks, chief!

    Why is there no 4th statistics - Yearly?

    Yes, what's wrong with that? Each download is counted? Or you only count the IPs who downloaded it?
    stan0033
    stan0033
    how about some SQL query like SELECT COUNT(SELECT DISTINCT [user] FROM [statistics] ) ... or some bs like that.
    Ralle
    Ralle
    The download hits are deleted after a month. They get quite large. So what's left is just the amount.

    Hey why don't you create a chat system in HIVE like the one in facebook? minimizeable windows with chat per user. For Live chat.

    It existed up until 2018 or so. It got axed because we moved on to Discord.

    Profile posts also need to be approved by admins when you're new. Perhaps the maps just wasn't at the time.
    deepstrasz

    All of these three things need to be separately approved?
    No. I checked several times and only that message was visible.

    And one thing I don't understand is your YouTube Channel. The First Video on 30.10.2016 and the Second on 02.08.2017.
    After your first Video release you could release another 1 week later. The first 2 Videos have good views. If you would have been consistent from there on, you would EASILY have 10.000 subscribers by now. And actually 2010 was the golden Time to got started with YouTube. Especially Hive and Warcraft III. The reason you have only 1920 subscribers is the space between uploads. Literally one year one video. YouTube is a very good Gateway to get new people into Hive. And I am sure there A LOT of people who are interested and would come.
    Ralle
    Ralle
    Oh yeah. I am not making the videos :). I can't make videos.
    Regeneration
    Regeneration
    This is not my point really. Someone obviously made a video for your channel, starting in 2016. You should have been consistent from there on. Keep making Videos and release them in a regular schedule. Like every week or so. Hell even every month would have been a lot better than only every year.
    Ralle
    Ralle
    Yeah I know. But without a financial incentive, people contribute when they can and want to. It's not super easy to find people who willingly create a video once per week for years for free :D

    There is not much I can write in Forum and I don't wanna spam. Even If I would start programming, making maps in Warcraft III and start asking a lot of questions, it would still take a lot of time to reach even level 12. It should be a realistic goal to reach level 12. If someone donates with a level 33 rank, he instantly has all the rank pictures available till level 33 for the alternatives. When someone completely new donates, he is Acolyte for a while ^^.
    It took me like 2-3 years to reach level 3 :D. It is because I mostly give reviews and barely write in the forum.
    If deepstrasz wouldn't like and react to nearly ALL of my reviews, I wouldn't have as much experience as I have now. BIG THANKS TO DEEPSTRASZ. You are a true friend! :D

    I bring it to the point. It is a fucking Grind and I don't like that. It is a relic of old days. In the end I don't expect anything because I guess it is just me. But I like to give my opinion as I give reviews.
    Ralle
    Ralle
    You can make resources then :)

    I have other things to focus on and I want to play different games too. I will continue supporting this site for another 2 or 3 months and then I will move on. I am glad to give something back.
    Regeneration
    I will be honest. I don't have a deep connection to this site but I like to support. Because why not? Custom Campaigns gave me a lot of hours of fun.
    I like that your name is glowing and the alternative rank pictures. There is only 1 thing I don't like. It takes too much time to reach levels. I would like to have a decent tweak to the first 12 levels. I played a lot of Shadow Fiend in DotA. He uses the same Avatar. I am speaking about the invisible Undead unit at level 12. I actually care only for custom campaigns.

    Hi, I have an idea that you can implement. A desktop app that exclusively hosts wc3 maps and allows players to join your hosted room and play.
    The login in the app is with the HIVE player's username and password, and every map that is hosted is also displayed in the HIVE site in a dedicated
    section, where people can go and see who is hosting what and if they want to download the app and use it too. The listview categories are map hosted/description/host/patch/ping. USers who join the room automatically download the hosted map and the hosted map must be a direct link in HIVE.

    Hey, can you make the site rules be a sort of agreement to tick before finishing creating an account? Many new users are definitely not aware of the rules beforehand.
