🛠 Ralle's Development Updates 🛠

[Ralle]

Changes:

- Bypass CloudFlare for downloads because they fail for some users for big downloads (Thanks @Tamplier.)

Also. Guys, the hero membership has dipped below the minimum for me to have dev days. Please tell your friends to become heroes!

Changes:

• Make user resources show lacking resources by default.
• Force re-index of bundles when backing thread gets approved.
• Improve maps SD/HD filters.
• Fix pastebin bug where bookmarks didn't have a preview.
• Fix error in how to import page.
• Fix potential backdoor in CASC extractor.
• Fix bug where sorting by default field got ignored in UI.
• Add resource submission rules to "Submit new resource" pages.
• Add extra extensions to binary resource type (.ts, .lua, .j).
• Add missing "binary" and "starcraft" icon to resource submit page.
• Add direct database filtering of bundles in repositories.

Direct database filtering was a biggie should make resource listings more accurate. We've had problems with that for years where things don't show when they should. It was a big thing to implement and actually means we now have two different filtering backends, one when you search and one when you are not searching. Not ideal but the experience is better.

Since quitting one of my jobs I have had more time on my hands to work on HIVE on evenings, so I haven't been that strict about dev days as I see the time available during the month.

@Archian and I are still working on the top secret project

Thanks to my heroes for supporting me in a time of way lower salary

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been getting reports of users unable to download or upload files. This resulted in a thread on the Cloudflare forums and a developer responding that they have rolled back a feature they’ve been working based on my report. Pretty cool:

It's been brought up many times before, but last month @SNIper of DARKness brought up reducing the number of tags and I've been on that. So far I have been mostly focusing on models and simplying in there. There is still a ways to go but we're getting there. Next, I will tacke other sections.
