Tech Council - Page 2

Good idea, I was going to have this sort of divide as well

Just waiting on Richard to reply to my e-mail inquiries about hosting here.

I *could* host it in the uploaded files section but it would be nicer to have a proper site

I'd like to be part of this. It's just too much work for one person to re-implement everything.

Perhaps the council could divide up the mod files. The owner of a file could have final say in what mods go into that file. Where there are different opinions, there can be more than one owner / Version of a file. Council votes could really come down to "which Version am I going to support in my mod file".

For example, if we have two competing vehiclesizes.txt files, the owner of Components.txt can support one, both, or none of them.

This creates a cooperative forum that recognizes the reality that no person can really force anyone else to do anything. Everyone's ideas, good and bad are welcome, just roll up your sleeves and start modding. The best Versions of each file will automatically be incorporated into a larger whole.

Agreed.
We just need somewhere to host it now

If Richard replies with a negative, I wonder if Hadrian would mind hosting us at SpaceEmpires.org

This will probally be much better than the HB "Universal Tech Council", which I was a part of (it never was finished). I would like to help, how can I (or just can I)?

Dravis : That's what I was thinking.
We could possibly host the site there and store the MODs in ShrapnelGames' uploads...
would be a bit of a pain though.

Still no word from Richard so I'm sending another e-mail to him.

Matryx · #18 August 27th, 2001, 02:39 PM

Ok, have e-mailed and ICQd him

now for the wait

Will the site fit in under 1 meg? I don't think so because the site will have to have the MOD available for download. Unless you find another place for the MOD.
