Model Section Update

Currently i'm trying to implement a new feature on the model section.
The possibility to upload model packs.
The difficulty about this is, that my script must unzip the whole package, search all models, decide which model belongs to which, whats a portrait and not a single model, whats an attachment model and not a separate one, which skins are used e.t.c and then submit every model separately on the page and generate a single zip of all together, so people can either download a model single from the pack or the whole pack together.

Sounds confusing and dificult.... but yo go ahead it sounds cool tho :wink:

That seems very difficult... while I have never tried to do anything like that... perhaps if you put up a disclaimer forcing people to name each of their models a certain way so that the script was able to recognize them? I dunno... sounds very tough... and I dont really know the first thing about programming or the like... eh... good luck.

Dunno, Darky, you sure it would be worth all the effort?

I think models pack are not needed because they aren't much models and I find more icons, skins and maps being uploaded everyday than models being uploaded everyday... Unless of course more modellers start working :)

Sopho has point there and models are very easy to use any way. i would prefer that u should make it easier to use skins some how (have no idea) in a wc3 TFT map.
