« on: 17 October 2010, 20:16:02 »
Is there any way that we can add a Glest Developer Section on the forums? It would be great.

Thanks (:

At the very least your going to have to release something before you get your own section on the forums  :|

It's going to have to be really damn good to deserve a new board. Not to dim your hopes but a stickied topic is all it needs, and most likely what you'll get. :|

I'm with arch, sorry. I'll happily sticky a topic on the tools board once you have a working release though (but nothing until a release).

I don't think this is big enough to merit a separate category.

This could be the like main tool for glest, if you integrate g3d viewer and mapmaker. Then the toolls board would be fine with it having sticky :)

Yep. Unless you give release something, no chance... But once you do and if it's good, then you'll probably either get a sticky and maybe a sub-forum under tools... children board or whatever it's called.

It's possible, but I think you'll only get one child board.

Well, Omega won't approve anything till you release something, so...
Hmm, although I think he said he doesn't think it's worth enough of a child board...Don't worry, if you're future alphas or betas are good enough, then you'll have a good chance of getting one.

Thanks for the support ultifd.

Um, I know I Won't get anything until I release something but I just want to make sure that if I release it, he will do it for me.

Again, I state, definately nothing until you have released a working version, and I see ABSOLUTELY NO REASON that this would be big enough to require an entire section of the board... After all, Blender, the 3D modelling tool that nearly every modder uses to create models, doesn't have its own section, nor does the GIMP, or even the export script, which without, we wouldn't have any good Glest mods at all! In fact, even Megaglest and GAE originally started as a simple *1* thread for the entire topic. Both had been released for months before it was even considered giving them their own board, and none had child boards until rather recently.

In short, release first, try not to flood the board with a lot of topics regarding it, and then start with a thread on the Tools board. Don't get over your head before you even have released anything... ;)

But, a few notes:
-While I understand you want a subforum, please don't specifically create lots of topics yourself to try and make it look like you need one. One is plenty, two is boardlining, and three is totally overboard for something that hasn't even been released.
-Once you release, each release doesn't need a separate topic. Just edit the first post to be up to date.

As I already mentioned, this is worthy of a sticky on the tools board, but let's start small. Getting over (y)our heads is a bad idea.

WHen you`ll have a working version, and I`ll support your web when youve released something :) so unless someone else wants to donate before theyve gotten the product, then you might wanna spend your own cash on the website.
