New Look for Code Modifications

[Xenon]

Well, you might remeber a discussion about Changing the first Post of Modificationthreads, to get a little more the feeling of our Hacks Database we used to have in during vB2 times.

After a long time of coding i've now added something like that.
Take a look at a Modthread, and you will see what i mean if you look at the top of the thread, over the first post.

You'll see that there are a lot of informations you can see within one moment now.
I'd like to ask our Coders to edit their releases and change the settings to fill in the fields correctly.

Of course i have tested this with a lot of possibilities, but it's still considered as Gamma version.

So if you have ideas, about something to change, please feel free to post here

Enjoy!

Nice job.

Can you add things like "Username has installed this mod." to Co-Authors/Supporters as well?

[Xenon]

Yep, that's planned Matthew, as well as allowing coauthors upload bugfixes aso to the original post.

That'll help me quite a bit.

Thanks.

You and Zak were a main reason why i thought about something like that

Talk about favorites I'll have to start giving the cookies more often no

[Xenon]

They were just the reason that i got the idea, nothing else

[Hialls]

wow nice

Heh.

Just one question: since the Hack DB-like first post is there and seems to cover everything (except maybe user info, though I don't see much point for that on a hack release anyways), does the first post really need to be repeated on the normal postbit?

hey, i first thought it was a glinch on my display... GOOD content... will have to see if i can handle that...

can we see that code released somewhere ??? (or at least for friends like me ?? )

[Xenon]

@Matthew: i'll remove the first postbit, but i want to make sure everything works perfectly, that's why i kept it in, right now

@nexial: hmm, well, we'll see

I want to comment on it, but starting a new thread for it seems to be too early:
I would like to see the first post (which is copied onto the new code header style) truncated, and a link to the original post (either single view or just start of thread).
Reason? Looking at my rpg thread, the header is WAAAYYYY too long IMHO It is a problem with mods with huge first posts.

Other than that, I got a "WTBF happened to by thread!?" feeling when I saw it, but once I actually looked, it was really nice
