I realize you are probably working on this. . .but it would be insanely handy if you would fix the search by map types option. . .sorry to bug you, but this would make it very easy for me to view the things I want to. (as a result i haven't really browsed the map section due to the fact that I don't want to have to click through all 100+ something pages just to view them all.)

Anyways, sorry to be a bother, but if you could get that up and running that would be great, thanks.

Bleh. . .lol

Well the main categories I can think of right now that there would be are:

AOS
All Categories
Arena
Campaign
Capture The Flag
Cinematic
Defense
Footman Wars
Mauls
Melee
Mini-Game
Offense
Other
RPG
Survival
Tower Defense

These are basically how I would divide up the maps if you're having trouble placing them. (btw, if you dont' have any say. . .defense maps [i.e. Helm's deep] then combine it with a different categorie like Tower Defense) Ideally the people who submit them would have several categories to choose and submit it to. Then, if some jokster submits into different categories, have a mederator move it, and warn him.

Note:I've seen htis work on other sites. . .it's probably their nicest feature.[/list]

If you need any more ideas let me know. . .by the way i have a quick question. . .where would I submit a map that's purely to look at the terrain. . .(It's for people to see kinda what can be done with the editor. . .would I just submit it under maps. . .attach to post in off-topic, or what. . .sorry this is kinda newbish)

well I have now made the database input thing better, I havent added buttons yet though.
But in the url you can write:
start (the page to start at)
user_restrict (users that cant be shown)
search (search string)
search_mode (any or all)
user (only this users maps)
time_limit (amount of weeks allowed for a map)
order_type (asc or desc)
order (dls, id, rate)
cat (category)

so you could make a link like: www.hiveworkshop.com/maps/?user=2&time_limit=4&order=id&order_type=desc&search=wh40k&search_mode=any
this will show all my maps containing "wh40ktd" that have been uploaded within 4 weeks, sorted by id

Yea well I think we should also keep the triggers and demo part of that catergory

I agree, I didn't think about demos. . .(they need an emoticon whacking himself with a hammer so I could put it right here)

Rasmus does not usually look at maps, he just adds them. Were I on my computer I would also aide in the endevour, alas I must stand idle until due time.

ok everyone I will begin deleting maps that contain nondescript or Just Another Warcraft 3 Map in one day. If you know one of your maps hasn't a proper name or description fix it now! Maps containing Porn, ect will be deleted as soon as posible.
