Build and Shoot

Hi everyone,
I've been working on a website for hosting maps over the last couple days. You can upload any .vxl map up to 17MB and the associated .txt. Hotlinking to the download is allowed and encouraged.

Features in the works:
None at the moment

Planned features:
Automatic Isorender generation (with hotlinkable image)
Comment system
Tag system
Sortable tables

Wishlist:
Zip of all maps

Finished features:
Author field and ability to search by author
Edit existing maps

Link to website: http://maps.aoshacks.com/

Suggestions are welcome and if you find a bug please let me know.

This is very needed!!

Thank you very much for doing this for us :)

I like the nice clean layout.

All hail Unreal, our 'Badass sysadmin'

Hey i tested to send a map :)
It's a very nice idea! Will it be possible to directly upload a .txt file (and not copy paste it ?)
Also, it would be nice to see some pics from the map; you could eventually add this too ^^

I'm going to upload almost every map I've collected so far if it's ok

This is really nice

Suggestions:

• Sortable table headers.
• You could have a render of the map on the individual map page like on a servers status page or isometric or even better like what jojoe uses that you can spin around. Should have read the planned features.
• Comments on the map pages
• A tag system
• Alternate Row colours
• I think an entry for map author would be nice then you can search through the maps someone has made.

Also, I think you should allow direct uploading of zip files.

That would be really cool! Lots of maps are really hard to find.

I'm working on the map author thing. I'll update the site once I have it working. I also plan on a way to upload a Zip file and it'll sort out the map name, author and description. Also maybe multiple map uploading.

i uploaded a bunch of JoJoes and Lostmotels maps.


version would be a nice column too (from map.txt)

Site update:
Author field ans the ability to search by author.
Edit existing maps.

You can upload any .vxl map up to 17MB and the associated .txt.

The site won't let me upload vxl files which exceed a size of 3mb. :(

Some of my full maps get up to 6.5 iirc...

Woops. Changed the limit in one config but not another. Fixed now hopefully.

Looks good, I like it.
