Suggestion Distribution Acceptance

[Limannen]

I was just looking through some released servers, and I thought to myself "there's too much crap here".

I'm not suggesting a whole cleaning, to look for inactive and old servers to delete.

But we can at least try to do something to prevent more shit coming into this lovely community

Any mod of some kind that can approve pending servers...

Distribution Acceptance

Contains all information that's needed:
Virus-Free, Server Engine, Client Protocol, Sources, Credits, Basic Info (map, scripts and other)

But again, it's just a suggestion :/

Thanks.

Following from another board? Don't fill with shit OTLand then, go take your pos and start discussions in other place, you have a pos which you should be proud, but overall you must prove that you desserve it showing respect to other people and gaining respect from other people "don't matter if he is your enemy, you are not in the street, you are in a house" Following here a discussion from other side only makes OTLand worst, later there will be comments on OTFans about you and the Admins that promoted you because they will think only one think "they accept every guy who report posts and speaks english" and you know that is not truth. Watch your mood of post here because you are the icon of OTLand on the threads.

Uhm?
I am not a member on Otfans and I never will be. So I have no idea where you get your facts from, but their false
I said from another board more as another category if you did not understand. So do not insult me with facts which are not correct.

I love this idea, Limannen.

I think it would be better for all of the users here at OTLand also.

A second board for what?

--

Many people do the following: They create a user, download TFS and then they rename the .exe to something random (e.g SexyServer.exe). Then they add their own map and they distribute the server without any real changes, other than different map and exe name. I believe, we should disallow such kind of threads since they can (obviously) post the map on maps section instead of posting the whole server. Also if they added/modified some LUA scripts, they should post them on Lua & XML section. In my opinion we should only allow distributions which contain clear
source code modification.

What do you guys think about this /\ one?

I don't agree with that at all.
Why should we make it harder for the users to download a custom sever (map,scripts etc)?
Posting a custom server without source modifications should be allowed lol.

Then that makes it harder for the moderators. It's not too hard to look in the Lua & XML section or in the maps one and then download the stuff you need from there. But it's time consuming for moderators to download a server, scan it and do the rest of the job especially if they have a low download/upload speed.

Im sorry you feel this way. No im not stalking you, I just think its stupid that you go against people trying to distribute to this forum as I belive in that everythng should be shared as long as its virus free. Everyone needs something, just because you dont need it does not mean that there is no one else needing it.

If everyone was acting like you, there would have been no TFS for example. So instead of complaining about people actually doing something and helping others, try complain about somethings that worth it. Maybe something like me for example beeing a board mod?

100% agree with you, not asslicking you but you are right


Topic..

This is an stupid suggestion and i´t should not be added, thats what i think
Im not saying this becasue i dont like you im just saying it becasue i really think this would make more people look on other open tibia forums, its better that they stay here

I agree with nikolasa.

Humm, what about making a server package forum?
No .exe's, just scripts,maps etc. which you then place in a official release.

Hmm...that sounds very good.

I think it's a good idea. Support!

Mix this:

@Request: This is very useful since most the time I feel this way.

1. Distro is really just crap with no features than a new buggy map
2. Outdated server engine that is unstable
3. Beyond buggy
4. Not enough information

There should at least be tags on them

[CTF]
[FUN]

Needs source code, TFS or OTServ version used... Features new to engine

And this:

Maybe for a second board it could be a sub-board of distributions for all the servers that are released with just the normal TFS engine without much source edit.

I think that would make it alot easier to find exactly what your looking for compared to Feloth's idea but both are good ideas.

And thats what imho should be implemented.

I dont think this is a bad idea at all, I doubt anyone would "leave this forum" for making it more organized with that suggestion. If anything, I think new members and current members would like it even more.

IMO, it would only make it easier for the searchers to find what they need and for the posters to get the kind of viewers they're looking for on their modified/new distro.
