Title: Addon Submissions
Post by: onepremise on 10 Apr 2003, 08:33:42
I guess the addons submission page is still broken?  Any status on this.  It seems to have been down for a very long time.  I tried a month ago and it was broken and it still seems to be broken now.  Shouldnt that link be brought down if its not working?  Or at least some sort of post on the status of the submission page.  Please give us some sort of update.

I second taking down the non-working link and setting up a info text which tells the users that addon submission is down at the moment.

This is part of the standard communication between the staff and the 'customers' which we really should adapt better.  ::)

In regards to that, Does this mean you guys got the addon uploads working?  Its been a very long time and nobody affiliated to ofpec has even posted any kind of status on it.  Its still broken.

Any status on this?  Is it ever gonna get fixed?  There are many of us that would love to contribute to the addon community here at OFPEC.  However, we cannot contribute if there is no way to upload our addons.  Whats the deal?  Do you guys need help with getting the addons submissions going?  Please give us some sort of status.

I've started chasing this up for you.

Someone will reply here ASAP (please give us at least 24 hours due to timezone differences) as to what will be done to address this issue.

Regards,
Noon

Hi Onepremise,

The decision was that we would take it down until we could gaurantee it would work.

I'm not sure this has been actioned yet, simply because the person to action the disabling is under a lot of demand all over OFPEC.

All I can add at this point is that there indeed will be great fanfare and announcements when we start taking Addons again, but until then there's a lot to be done and we continue to work on it all as fast as we can.

So continue to cling tightly to that addon, and when we announce the reopening of Addon submission and the Addon Depot, we very much look forward to receiving it from you. :D

Patience, patience.  8)

It will be ready when it's ready.   Nobody wants it back more than the people working on it.   When it's ready, you'll know about it.

The addons depot is being rebuilt by Hubba (the guys who owns the server). It will be up within a week or so hopefully. *crosses fingers*

We need to design it for the long haul, without bugs, and this is taking some time.

Yeh there could be an improvement.

While I was submitting my new ADDON i noticed that there wasn't a box that i could type in "when i hope to have the ADDON released". It could be nice if it was there, then people will know when an ADDON will be released and they wont start thinking that the ADDON makers have gave up on their ADDON.  :D

If you're submitting your addon to the Depot, then it IS being released as of the moment you upload it to the Depot... ;)

The Addon Depot is for the hosting of finished Addons.

If you have news about an addon that you will be releasing in the future, then you'll need to submit that to the Intel Depot.

Righteo...

I have submitted news to the intel website about my new ADDON and I have also submitted news/topic to the Recruitment ADDON section asking people *if they are interested* to come along and join me, and help me create this ADDON, and hopefully create a team and probably in the future create more *strange* yet *interesting* ADDONs and Missions.

Thanks Noon...

:cheers:

I submitted the v1.3 F18 addon a long time ago and I have still yet to see it posted in the Addon Submissions Depot.  What would prevent this from happening?  I used your online service to submit this.  Please let me know.
Title: Re:Addon Submissions
Post by: Kaliyuga on 14 Aug 2003, 18:43:46
 I've searched through the addon depots  faulty/pending lists

and I didn't see it in either one.   The only F-18 that I saw up there was the F/A-18C by Pennywise and Hudson which has already been reviewed..

my suggestion would be to resubmit your addon.

:cheers:

Is the process all automated?  When you submit an addon does it automatically appear in the submission list in the addons depot?
Title: Re:Addon Submissions
Post by: Sefe on 14 Aug 2003, 20:03:45
It is automated. The most likely explanation is that something went wrong during submission. Please resubmit and make sure to follow the instructions. ;)

I'll resubmit soon.  Thanks for the help guys!

Addon reviews seemed to slow down again.  Any reason why?  I saw several addons move through there a few months ago.  Are the unapproved addons still in testing phase?  Just currious to know...
