Downloaderadea. Tips and Tweaks.

Bellman · 10-27-05, 11:05 AM

OneShot, as good as his word, has opened a new section at the Tips and Tweaks site called **Downloaderadea.**

This is a new repository for newcommers, where you designers can lodge Training Scenarios and their accompanying
briefings, mission descriptions, run throughs and AAR (After action reports)

Nice one OneShot. :|\

Thanks ...

I will put as much stuff in as possible over the next few days to get some resemblance of life back into the Vault. As always I'm open for suggestions ... so if you want to see some particular feature in the Vault, let me know and I check if I can incorporate it.

Cheers

I've expanded the Downloadarea a bit and included a place for all the manuals and guides I can find. I'll organize the FTP server tomorrow a bit and then upload all that stuff and link it in the forum. Further I'll start putting up the training missions I can find and maybe one or two "regular" missions.

OS. I like the way this one is shaping into 'Tips and Tweaks' beeing more and more, the first 'port of call' for new players.

It would be nice to have a **Daft ?** question section to allow embarassment free queries. Its easy to feel inhibited
when new and fear ridicule at posing a basic question. Perhaps another title ? But you get my drift.

Also SquidB suggested online training sessions in the Summer and consensus was to postpone implementation until
the back-end. 'T&T' ( Why not TnT ? Thats what is developping

) could have a 'Grab a Trainer' dating for training section ?

The forum comes handy with a calendar. I even found a few nice tweaks for the forum software to, for example, automatically start a thread when a calendar entry is made. If the desire is there this could be used to easily schedule game sessions / training times. I'm not sure how I have configured the calendar right now (means if everybody who is registered can post new entries) but that can be easily and quickly changed.

I'll get on with work ;-)
