Models section ready

[Ralle]

I have decided to put the models section public. I do not promise it won't be without bugs and I haven't imported the models yet.. I am still copying files to the new server..

Please try the new one though: http://hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/

 

[Xarwin]

Nicely done again man! I hope we will see some good models.

Nice job Ralle

Excellent. Don't forget about The Hive's already existing models aswell =P although I think the Ignored / Not-Approved Models should not be copied.

And remember to delete a model when it is Not-Approved, we have no need of hosting files we reject.

Nice with the name, date, rating and downloads buttons. Better than wc3search's in other words. Although there are no models. I hope people will start to submit new models. Btw do you think the community of wc3search will come here/is here?

Hope not............

Will simple vertex editing of existing models be permitted for submission?

Depends on how "Simple" it really is.

I do not agree. Also unapproved or ignored models have some use. For example if the model has a bug which can be easily solved, but the author is not avalaible at the moment. Or if the skin is a bit odd, it can be always redone by other user. Also the models that have only a minor change can be useful (like my proudmoorepistol model).

However, models that do not follow the rules (rips from other games) and completely crap can be of course deleted.

Simple as in deleting the shield, lengthening the sword, editing the ears etc.

No, too simple, unless it gets a new fitting texture or particles, etc.

In short, significant changes.

 

[GoldenRam]

Sometimes simple models are useful, IE a footman with no weapon or shield.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

That would be better suited for a pack of unarmed models. But it is not significant enough by itself.

 

[Mechanical Man]

So, we will be able to upload models in packs then?

I'm afraid you're wrong here. Chriz has stated in a previous post that the Hive Workshop does NOT accept resources that are edited versions of someone elses work without the authors expressed permission. If you don't like it, by all means take it up with him by sending him a private message. I think that non-approved should not be deleted, because non-approved are just waiting for approval, its like the line up or the que. Ignored obviously should be deleted because its like the trash bin, all of the junk that has been rejected goes there, so there's no need to keep it...

 

[Mechanical Man]

I was not meaning who solved all bugs should resubmit it. If that person badly need it, it can modify it (ex. with magos editor) and then put it in the map (with giving credit also to original maker).

Ignored resources (at least models) should be equvalent to wc3campaigns graveyard.

 

[Kimbo]

Wc3c mods have the power to delete models that are stolen,rips etc, this site doesnt..

 

[Ralle]

you can press "ignore" on them.. and no one can see them (in the new section). That's kinda the same thing as deleting

 

[brad.dude03]

Well why not delete them so they aren't wasting space on the server collecting dust, not being used and sitting there invisible?

 

[GoldenRam]

Because Ralle is in charge?

If you keep them around in the database, then you can automatically prevent people from uploading them again. It also allows you to reference the files or undelete them in the future if there is ever a need.

 

[brad.dude03]

Ah, well in that case then, it's best to keep them

 

[HappyTauren]

sure, thats the way antivirus progs work they gotta have all little viruses in their database, as well as hive stolen models XD

 

[brad.dude03]

Well they don't have the actual files, they have a defenition so that it can recognize the virus if it shows up on your PC.
