Multiple owners of a single resource.

[SpasMaster]

Hello, I'd like to hear what you guys think about this idea of mine. Ralle will say if it is possible to do.

Basically I am about to release a project with a friend of mine, but we had this conversation about who should upload the map. It's a hard decision to make since we invest equal amount of time and effort in it.

Quite often people that don't have the respective resource in their profile don't get noticed as much.

My idea is, can a single resource (maps in our case) appear in the user profile of multiple users specified by the uploader.

This is something I fully support.

I also think the owners should be able to edit the thread and get the same ammout of rep or split it between them

 

[Ralle]

You're right. This is definitely a shortcoming of the system.

 

[SpasMaster]

You're right. This is definitely a shortcoming of the system.

So is my suggestion realisable?

 

[Daffa]

Well, it's possible, but Ralle, do you have time to make this fast?

Also, if resources rep is shared the problem is the rep amount..... So should we divide the rep or keep it the same but both user gain the rep?

 

[SpasMaster]

Shared reputation isn't really that necessary imo. I'd like to see single resource appear in the profile of 2 or more people.

 

[Ralle]

I don't have the time to make something like this right now. I will however write it down and do it later on.

Yeah, no rush. Thank you Ralle. =)

Yep a good idea Working together on a model is something that happens, and same with a lot of other resources.

As for the rep part I see no point - if anything it should be split so one can give rep for the part on did of the model. Hence it is typed who made what, and then one can always give the rep they want to those they believe deserve it.

 

[Hadeis]

Yeah. That's an useful suggestion, I believe many people will benefit from it. And about the rep - well, rep sharing is not really needed. You can always add rep manually to the user you want, because they will be added to the credits anyway.

I found myself changing author names sometimes because people needed share access. This is definitely a good idea.

 

[Ralle]

Now that I think about it. Imagine a resource has multiple authors. How would a visitor know this? Well, because all authors are listed. How many rep buttons would this result in? One per author. That seems very logical to me.

 

[Rui]

Or just one button that adds reputation to all authors equally and with the same message. I would just not worry about that detail yet, though.

 

[Ralle]

Sure. That can come later on.

 

[MasterHaosis]

Awesome idea guys! Awesome feature. We definitively need option for multiple authors per resource,. You have haosis bless

Or to make it more advanced we could have a percentage of work, and give rep based on that when someone gives. Nah, likely way to complex.

But sounds good that it is likely coming.

This is definitely useful for pair/team projects...

For the rep, maybe you can have a single rep button but when clicked, it will show the list of the authors and you select who to give rep to?

Even spread or something sorted makes more sense if one includes the option for rep in the multiple author option. However if it just features individuals as listed, then it runs on the same system as the current one - and as such save some trouble.

Ahah yeh rep spread through out the makers would be the best option in my opinion.
But yeh an option would be nice if you only want to give it to specific creators of the resource as for example a user could only want to rep the terrainer of the map through the resource rep system and only want to rep that creator as the game-play could suck.
