robbalvey Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 So with the coupon code system working, I can't think of any other "MUST DO" features that need to be done before this thing can be "official." Sure, there are probably a few cosmetic things here and there, and we should probably one final round of live beta testing just in case, but can you guys really think of anything else? It's getting really close, and then I'm basically going to hand it over to Matt and the rest of you guys to help make a success out of it! --Robb
mcjaco Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Honestly, I cannot think of anything. I'll likely add a few more sub-categories after Beta, but I think it's functional, simple, and perfect!
A.J. Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Add a count to see how many times one of your own files has been downloaded (like with forum attachments)?
A.J. Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Danke. That could be something for the points/coupons, too - [x] points when someone downloads your file.
djbrcace1234 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I think that would reward you too quickly. just because it would mean ranking and downloading would then give double the points in a way.
robbalvey Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) See, my feeling on it is this - we have 1331 files in the database right now. If someone went through and downloaded every single one, and ranked every single one, they would have 2662 points. The MOST they could get from the TPR store in coupons is 5 videos. Think about it - if someone REALLY wants to go through all that effort and download and rank 1331 files...fuck it! I'll give them 5 free videos!!! End of the day, it just boosts the download counts and rankings of each file! Edited February 25, 2011 by robbalvey
QueerRudie Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I'm quite satisfied with the current state of the Games engine all around- fast, efficient and easy. Right now, I think we're pretty good to go- R.D.
robbalvey Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 The download count has been added.
A.J. Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 The only other thing I can think of is putting the new site banner on the top of the exchange... OR...I also still have those banners/thumbnails I made.
A.J. Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Sure. The banners are designed to fit perfectly in the space where the top banner is - they were sized using the "Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, Fun" banner in mind, not sure if the old and new TPR banners are exactly the same size. Only thumbnail I have right now. RCT2-style A. RCT2-style B. RCT2-style C. RCT2-style D. NL-style A. NL-style B.
robbalvey Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 ^ I used the thumnail on the front page. FYI - I have asked the developer to add a log to the admin panel so we can see the following information: - Users that upload - Users that rank - Users that edit - Users that delete a file - Admins logging in and out of the admin panel - Users logging in - Users that download So that way we can see if some users goes in and mass deletes a bunch of files, and then re-uploads them again to get points. I've also added a way that we can adjust someone's points if needed! --Robb
mcjaco Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 ^ Is it possible to just add a delete coupon that subtracts points?
robbalvey Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 ^ Everyone will get a unique coupon, so if you want to delete someone's coupon you can under "manage coupons."
robbalvey Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Banner has been added: http://themeparkreview.com/game_exchange/ Hit refresh a few times. Also added a link to the exchange on the TPR Nav bar. Edited March 14, 2011 by robbalvey
robbalvey Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Made a slight change to the exchange's front page. Now it only displays the first 100 characters in the description on the front page so it looks a bit better. Click on the file to get the rest of the description.
mcjaco Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I'm loving the fact that a couple members are using the banners as their signature!
robbalvey Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 I'm loving the fact that a couple members are using the banners as their signature! I know! That's awesome! BTW, A.J. if you want to make any more banners, I think it's pretty easy for me to add more to the random rotation...
robbalvey Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 The thumbnails that now show up on the index page of the Game Exchange are now actual thumbnails, not just smaller versions of the giant images. That pages should load up a LOT quicker now.
robbalvey Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 I've had the ability to sort by "Type" added to the exchange. I'd recommend that we create a "Track of the Week" type and prolly go through and re-brand all those tracks that have been submitted as "Track of the Week." It will now make things a bit easier being able to sort that way.
djbrcace1234 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I have class in a few minutes, but I'll start on that as soon as I get home in about 2 hours!
mcjaco Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I had actually thought of that the other night while looking for Track of the Week entries. Then I went out to yell at the neighborhood kids, and well.....the rest of the night was F'ed up.
