Descriptions for Downloads
« on: April 26, 2016, 11:22:54 PM »
For those of you who want to help out but don't know how, I've thought of a way that you can do it. After more than a year of working on it off and on, I almost have all of the downloads moved into the Downloads section. The problem is that I stopped adding descriptions myself pretty early on since research into each mod was taking too much time. If anyone is bored and has the time, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in getting descriptions added.

For those interested, you can post your suggested descriptions here and I will add them in batches.

Since I'm not sure how much interest there is, we'll start by only looking at the AI packs. I want to try to include a description, contents, credits, warnings, and a support thread but it is fine if we don't have all of these. The best examples that I could find were BTTB AI Pack and Starcore V3.

I find it hilarious that the RA-Reborn Arena I made has so many downloads. Have y'all been using it for tournaments or something? I don't remember creating a version 2 though. Perhaps I did, who knows. I downloaded it and read the readme file. As well as the read me for the AU AI Toner pack I did. Hilarious. Nobody has the 4 paint job edge packs I did or the AAM tutorial or the "force field" I created which was basically a semi transparent blue ball that replaced an axle on a motor and moved 2 feet away to spin around the bot. I think I also made weightless AI zone boxes things. and an AI Helper VB application that wrote PY files.

Was going to reply earlier, but I recently noticed that there's no description at all while going through the downloads section, it might be good to add a link to the original topic as well.

Arenas are really popular and there isn't very many like the RA-Reborn Arena. I'm not sure that I have the 4 paint job edge packs but I have everything else sitting on one of my backup hard drives. If you want, I can try to locate them when I have more time.

Most of the mods were created before the official forums were shutdown and replaced by GTM so they don't have discussion topics anymore. That said, we should try to include the original topic if there is one because the comments section that is built into the download pages is not very good since there is no easy way for normal users to see when someone posts there.

No rush, whenever you find the time. It would definitely feed my nostalgic side leading up to the RA3 release. Really hoping there's some kind of custom paint job system included.

This. Was going to mention it as well. As great as GTM is, no download DB has ever compared to the RA-Reborn DB in 12 years time. I made sure it was comprehensive and encompassed every mod available up until the time I became inactive.
