New GPL Addons Site

Bottom post of the previous page:

Yes. So we would have a tree like this, not individual top level categories if that is possible.

Car Addons
> 1955 mod
> 1965 mod
> 1967 mod

It's possible yeah. I'm just taking a little break from all of this because I'm totally drained from work lately, but I'll put these on the list of changes to implement.

I found a bug. In the Tracks page, searching for tracks beginning with D leads to tracks starting with C. None of the other buttons have that issue.

Thanks, this will probably be a minor copying and pasting problem in the code. Will sort it tomorrow

I've emptied and uploaded my dropbox folder of GPL addons. That's it from my side for now. I'll keep adding little by little as I come across files on my HD. Two things, the "Misc. addons" section isn't visible in the sidebar on the left. I've uploaded everything I couldn't sort into your categories into that. The second is, do we want old/deprecated versions in the database? I had Irridux's 1966 carset in the dropbox. It's just the 3D models not physics or anything. I'm unsure what to do with it.

Awesome, thanks very much!!! I will have to manually add the link to the Misc Addons if it isn't there. I haven't had a chance to fix the Track Database link yet either.

I would probably say it's not worth uploading these older addons that have become irrelevant due to physics mods and the like, although part of me likes the idea of having a 'historical' database of sorts. I'll probably still upload pointless things like the Bandwidth Patch just for completion. Or the original 0.0.0.5 demo version even though it only works on Windows 95.

For when you are updating the page. I'd set the default search to look at the whole database. Right now its set to only look in the category you are currently in. I find it more intuitive to have it look at everything as a default and limited as an option. It also would make cross checking between track addons and tracks much easier.

I've basically had to separate the track database from the rest of the addons for practical reasons.

I've fixed the letter C and letter D link issue you pointed out a while ago now. Btw do you have a US GPL EXE by any chance? I only have my own UK one.

[Michkov]

I don't know, at least not as a loose file. What am I looking for to determine the version of the exe?

There's an 8 byte size difference between US and non-US versions, which effects how patches are applied. I found out the GPLPS Installer has all versions of the EXE packed inside so I've managed to get the US EXE now! Thanks anyway!

[PTRACER]

Made some minor layout updates and added a WYSIWYG editor for those of you who are signed up as contributors.

Downloading also requires an account (this is to stop people using bots to download the entire DB in one go and kill the site's bandwidth)

Hi, PTRACER, can I become a contributor please? I have some track 3dos I might want to preserve.

Thanks,

it seems that SRMZ will be returned to us imminently, however GPL Addons has grown from 7 members to 90 in just about 10 days I have no regrets about the hours I put into making it and it'll always be there in case SRMZ isn't!

Hello Paul. Thanks for you work.

[ROOKIE4EVER]

Hi Paul.

It seems that there is no Enna Pergusa.

For Sviestad it is in the L. It might be better in the S ?

Greetings.
