Import Update

[Ralle]

I thought I should just tell you how all the importing thing is going.
OK. I have now imported most models. I made a script to only import the ones fulfilling these rules:
mdx'es exist
required blp's exist
zip exists
image exists
it is not submitted yet

This means that many models were sorted out. So if your model is not on the list, you can download it from wc3sear.ch instead.

Here is a list of links for wc3sear.ch since the frontpage hides a lot:
http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Maps
http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Models
http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Skins
http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Icons

Just put the name in front of the p= and you get the page.

I will now work on the next thing to import.

BTW we will probably need more moderators to look all these new models through. We have 2500~.

Many of the newest models were crap, actually. Only starcraft stuff. No wonder people sometimes loose the mood to do other types of maps, other than future themes.

Thanks for the update Ralle! Many users were thrown for a loop by the redirect page.

The entire WC3 community salutes you for your outstanding efforts to preserve the wc3sear.ch resources!

 

[Rui]

Agreed, I thought wc3sear.ch was going all the way down. And well, it has, but at least the resources are safe, under Ralle's guard xP

I hope the rules clear up some stuff, either way.

 

[Ralle]

yeah.. I am hiring lots of mods to clear up

hey i dont have account on wc3sear, so i cant write comments . could you import account database from hive to wc3sear (no, you cant, because darky's scripts are outdated)

Many of the models you imported are *crap*! I suggest someone takes the time to sort them out, as we even have WoW exports

General note: Do not contact us regarding a staff position, we will come to you.
Some might be lucky enough to contact us before we get a chance to contact them...

We will, as Ralle said himself...
What i know of atm, is that the resource section is still being worked on, as well as "the great merge". Some models, skins etc. havn't been imported yet i could imagine.

as we even have WoW exports

We do not intend to keep those models, as we do not support game exports.
However, the official rules regarding this issues hasn't been made public yet.

Note, that the site is currently under major reconstruction.

Cheers,

Thumbs up for this. Although many people wouldn't agree, I believe those models really shouldn't be kept.
Also it would be great if you could clean all the unnecessary textures - darky's script caused a lot of people to upload blps that already exist inside the warcraft mpqs.
And I could be wrong but I recall some models were simply a waste...either it was "omg look I added a new poly to the xyz model credit me if you use!"a crappy reskin or some minor/idiotic edit. If models like that still exist then you should probably consider putting them in a separate category - the trash.
/2 cents

i'd love to be a moderator, that'd be so cool!

 

[brad.dude03]

Like Archian said, you don't ask to be moderator, they ask you. And you suually have to hang around for a little bit, except of course in Archian's case lol.

 

[Rui]

Heh, in my opinion you should prove that your able to aid people on their time of need, show respect and maturity, and prove that your helpfull for this site's well-being. Moderators are not picked at random. And let me tell you, that most of the times, asking to be a moderator will only cause doubt to superiors about you, it can reveal your hunger for power. Maybe it is not hunger for power, but that's the idea they'll get, 99% sure.

On the other hand, I'm glad those icons for the rest of the forums are up. Empty spaces started to get ugly

 

[SS_Penguin_Spy]

I'll help if you want, most of them are from the old site too.

 

[Jacek]

can't you just zip the wow models and upload them? they are useful =.=
