In order to make it easier for members when they download hacks and to prevent multiple attachments when a hack is posted, we will soon be restricting hacks to just ONE ZIP file. Try to put all XML, TEXT, PHP, into the ZIP file please.
We have decided to restrict archives to ZIP since it comes standard in most Windows PC. TAR etc require 3rd party software.
Screenshots can still be posted separately but can be also included in the ZIP.
Thanks!
(This entire post was made under the assumption that Attachment Size Limit has not changed, or it is still too low for my points below to be valid, which I have not checked as of yet. If it has, please ignore this post)
I am sorry, but I am unable to comply with this rule for my RPG Integration Hack. It contains mass amounts of images, and even putting all images in 1 zip file would make it too large for the Attachment feature. And given that the next version of my hack will contain even MORE images, to be able to comply the limit must be increased to ~20 MB.
I have more than 400 images (some are very small but still), and as you can understand it would be impossible to work with an attachment limit below that.
The only other solution I have would be to offer the images as a download on the site Dan and I are making for the RPG project, but licence verification would be limited to a replica of the GeekyDesigns way (a post here with a hash inside a code block that would need to be input on the site), which creates hassle for the end-user.
I will watch this thread and my PM box for any updates on this
