## New map system is live

I had a surge of creativity and put it into a usable state. Some things are obviously buggy or missing but have fun.

Some additional pages:
http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/log.php
http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/user.php?username=Spirit

The “too many or too long” tags issue is not fixed. Quake Injector bits are missing.

Old links will work. If not, make me fix them!

I need to write rules and a policy, so far read this: Do not post profanity. No more fucking dicks, cunt-sucking asshole morons. If you do, don’t be surprised if your comment is gone. Your actions might be public and easy to track/stalk. I have the right to use what you post to Quaddicted in any way (do not worry).

Thanks to scar3crow for making me fix several issues. And necros.

   Nice. Someone should tag all Quoth maps Quoth, for example. The more tags, the better, it seems.

   Same for Nehahra, Zerstorer, hipnotic etc. maps.

   scar3crow: how is “crash” a useful tag for a map? :P

   The new system seems okay. A bit ugly still, layout on description pages and all.

   I tried to leave a comment:

   “malformed zipname or rating”

   Happens to me on warpspasm only, though, weird..

   Same bug as with the ratings. Should be fixed, thanks.

   Spirit: check the selection box (tab) for the ratings, it goes all the way to the left side of the screen.
   There’s also a dummy link (little red dot, tab) in the homepage line even if there’s no url.

   What about merging spmaps and speedmap lists now? Note that sm100turtle is not a sm pack.

10. negke Says:

    Right. Just noticed the merge is already done. Remove the Speedmapping link then.

    Perhaps it would be good if Quaddicted ratings user ratings had different colors to make them easier to distinguish. Like slightly pink and white.

    I wished the comments and user ratings columns were a bit wider, so their titles didn’t have to be abbreviated. Maybe a slightly larger font size, too.

11. Spirit Says:

    Yes, maps were merged. I will add an editor some day for fixing and updating.

    No idea how to fix the bounding box of the rating links, I do not know Javascript and it works fine.

    Homepage fixed.

    I’ll need to find a good width for author and title columns. Font size is already pretty big. :(

    The sort by date that I use quite often is broken. It sorts by the first number, which is the day of the month. Therefore December 1, 2009 will appear before January 2, 1997, simply because the day number of the month is less, etc. It should sort by year first, then by month, then by day, as it did successfully with the previous system. This should be fixed ASAP, thanks.

    That seems to be a weird issue. I just had it too but then it worked fine. I’ll try to find a way to reproduce it well.

    Thanks, I’d appreciate a notification post here when you have it running properly, otherwise I’m glad you’re going to try and work a fix.

    negke; I might be confusing Skinny Norris with another map of yours, so that tag may be incorrect. I was revisiting the level in my mind and I think it merged into your contribution to the traps themed session where you had the Don’t Push This Button which dumps you to console.

16. gb Says:

    Mixing the speedmaps in made the list even longer and even harder to find what you want. Maybe a different text color (grey) for speedmaps?

    Was commenting and tagging a bit, and it’s just pretty hard to move around that list.

    i just experienced the date column bug that megaquaker mentioned, but other than that, great job!

    Hi -
    Just to relax (and steal ideas!), i’ve spent the last few weeks going trough all the maps on the ‘reviews’ page.

    Nice to see the changes – just one thing keeps bugging me: the maps aren’t loaded alphabeticaly anymore. And the ‘sorting’ feature takes forever…

    Any possibillity of reverting to the old default alphabet sorting?

    And, BTW, does anyone know a good ‘extended’ Quake engine for Linux? I have trouble running some of the new maps – and they seem absolutely beautiful…

    Thanks for a good site -

    You can get the ordered list at http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/?ordered=1
    I really need to make the text on the top of that page better, no one notices it. I changed to random order because I noticed the top entries got more downloads (obviously).

    For Linux there is http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/
    And a really awesome crossplatform engine is in the making. ;)
    Do you know the http://www.quaddicted.com/category/quake-injector/ already? It makes everything better.

    Thanks for your compliments!
