@Daffa @San Thanks!

Hi there! Just confirming that I am no longer a reviewer. I forgot the date but I think December 2019?

 

[Shar Dundred]

@Keiji is no longer an Administrator/Terrain Moderator.

 

[Heinvers]

They will be missed.

 

[Footman16]

Hmmm, I feel like we need a skin moderator just due to the sheer tailback of pending skins.

Also maybe another map moderator, seems like a lot of work for one person.

We have decent amount of reviewers on deck. Sometimes they just need a good slap or two to get off their feet

I think I'm a bit out of the loop atm, so reviewers can review resources so that moderators can just read the review and then approve/reject without having to check it themselves?

 

[IcemanBo]

Reviewers can handle submission them selves. Resource Reviewers

Ah I see, thanks. Was just getting a little concerned with the skins section and the number of pending submissions

 

[Daffa]

5 pages is hardly a problem

On more serious notes, I think it might have to be related to how we seem to lack skin people expert in reviewing reforged materials. Now now, take that with a grain of salt, but that's what I think.

True as someone that's worked with them they are... difficult.

I hope you're just joking man...

Hey guys, there's any reviewer for ported models? I have posted some in the previous week and they still doesn't have any comment from the staff of how can i improve them...

 

[Ralle]

The staff for the whole model section is:
@General Frank
@loktar
@Mister_Haudrauf

But it's important to remember that everyone cannot be active all the time. We're in this for the long run and sometimes things work out in a way that everyone is busy in life at the same time.

Keep in mind though that a pending model is still 100% accessible.

We are looking for HD Model Moderators and Ported Model Moderators. Post your application in our https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/admin-contact.367/ forum.

Shouldn't this be reviewers first and not directly moderators?

 

[Archian]

Well, as with all moderator applications, the applicant is subject to review by the Hive's administration team. We don't promote someone directly to moderator, but qualified applicants are given a trial period as a reviewer before the mantle of Moderator can be bestowed.

 

[Daffa]

Usually it'll be around 3-9 months trial, and the speed of it depends on many factors, I'd say ^^

I would be surprised if there are any comments given for models in the ported section. I mean, for example look at the kinds of ports this user is posting.
FeelsGoodMan

Many of his bundles contain 10+ individual resources. I have no clue how reviewers are ever going to be able to go through all of them and give comments. Once more people realize that they can just upload any ports into this section, the number of resources being posted there will be insanely high. An increase to the number of reviewers is unlikely to solve this issue, but that is just my opinion.

 

[loktar]

I've reviewed a number of ported models, and most uploaders don't seem to expect that models should meet the same minimum standards as any other model, like proper decay/dissipate animations, footprints, etc.

So yeah I agree, it's gonna be impossible to properly review everything (especially with the large packs), since almost all uploads have at least some minor (but important) shortcomings and the uploaders most of the time don't have much (if any) experience in modelling, so the review process takes more time on average than normal.

Hey sir, can you check my resources please, i have done everything needed for the models, like Collision, footprints, Dissipate/Decay anims, Portrait anims, camera, recalculated normals and extents, optmized the models to have few number of textures as possible.

@Zaffar have patience friend. There are many models and few reviewers.
Your uploads are visible to everyone anyway.

Sorry, my intention wasn't to bother, it's just that I feel that my models are not meeting the necessary requirements. Loktar quoted the requirements and I went to check if my models were in accordance with the norms, I just asked about the revision because I thought it was going unnoticed.

Again, just be patient. I see that you are quite recently joined member and you might not know the ins and outs of how things are handled here.
nothing goes unnoticed and you will be notified if things need to done on your part.

Shot in the dark here, but shouldn't a script be able to determine things like this by pattern matching for specific strings in the *.mdl file? Seems like it should be possible to automate the process to the point where stuff like that could be clearly determined before you have to even look at it. It could also automate a response detailing what needs to be fixed if it doesn't meet all requirements.

 

[Ralle]

There is one. @GhostWolf made one. It will be easily available of the next version of the site.

 

[PrinceYaser]

By the way, do we even have a Texture Moderator/Reviewer? I usually check the Skin section, it's been a long time, and yet lots of skins have not been moderated.
