Discussions : New Medieval Town v 1.1b => incoming 2.0

it will take people away from here
i think, i hope not being presumpteous when i say that ^^, but i am helping this forum to be occupied

ofcourse it thought about that too.


Just a website where people can download the mods (and translations),
view images and also maybe some details about the development..
just no commenting / contact.. that can be done from here.

one of the webhost parties i'm looking into, has a cloud solution like onedrive,googledrive, dropbox too for easy updates.

one of the reasons being : continuity. The place where i usually downloaded your mods was gone in an instant,
your mods are not on banishedinfo,
and i don't and will not have a steam account  

who will say this one will not be gone too ?
then all your mods would be vanished.

about web, and web creation... i am total noob for that part. 

[chillzz]

technical part is easy peasy.. design wise. well thats another story.
but finding a host that will let people download... wow.. that is horror

The best is to rent a real root server, so you can put your server and php stuff and set all rules like .htaccess on your own...
You can also set a torrent client that runs there (no tracker needed) to seed your stuff.
That decreases you site load as (some) people continue seeding after they downloaded stuff.

I'm not a "good" programmer but I had my experiments with own php code on a real root server some years ago incl. my own torrents and stats and so on.
And - yes, indeed - I used Windows Server 2003 for that, no Linux.
So I was able to continue what I was used to by remote desktop.

With most web hosting companies that is possible nowadays without having a full server with root access.
even with shared hosting you can manipulate apache via htaccess and conf files and usually even DNS
Big plus is price, and the webhoster taking care of system and os updates, firewalls etc.

that actually is a good idea!
Maybe not on the webhost itself, but on a seedbox, which is dedicated and only set up for this.
that even allows for a regular webhosting without having headaches of download tearing the bandwidth.

[RedKetchup]

but the bandwith should not be that huge, it is not a forum/web with 1000 people visiting 24h/24. once someone downloaded it, and saw some news every x days/week... he doesnt redownload anymore.

Absolutely true; I would say that without @RedKetchup WoB would be nearly dead.

hehe surely true, my friend

but for the moment, i dont have time to spend on this, not before Medieval 2.0 is released. i have 4-500 hours to spend on that and everything is slow when you are creating and testing.


BTW . i was working on this ...

Medieval Old Saltery...

and i was doing also some new tests ^^ which is decieving me at 75% 
it need way more work, definitly (on my herb png and stone road png - this is why i say : i wish to put the hand on awesome textures)

thoughts ?

[irrelevant]

That's beautiful; what's the problem?

[Gordon Dry]

Same to me ^^

[RedKetchup]

the building concept is very GREAT was just my stone road test and my herbs. i deleted the stoneroad... i moved my herbs around.
but the building is really awesome.

[RedKetchup]

for the moment.... it will stay like that till i get new test textures ^^
it looks awesome

Medieval Old Saltery

   int _width = 7;

great Red at usual..
I will make a donation as soon as I settle the next paycheck!

a curiosity... What are the things hanging in the saltery?

[Paeng]

What are the things hanging in the saltery?

Oh... the usual - you know... dish rags, the old man's hankies, some dried fish... and such... 


@RedK - maybe extend the little roof over the salt bin some more - in case it rains?
