hey,
at the moment i am working on a program to help people who are good at programing but cant fine any media files to create there games with, this is going to be called gsupport (game support).

idea:
my main aim is to make a program that is easy to use and will allow you to add files to the program for other to use in there games i will do this by useing ftp. this wil be uploaded to my server which will be accessed useing the program.

allreadly done:
i have made a fully working gui set up useing bluegui just started the ftp programing to fit into the gadgets that are all readly made and working.
thanks to GogetaX for FTP Client and 0% CPU dll plugin which has been a big help with the work so far.

things to come:
fully working ftp on all gadgets
download muity files at once
a download bar to see how far you have to go
a tab for downloads so you can see how far each download has left
a * system to list the files to see which are best (vote)
a page to ask for things like a forum
search for searching for curtain files that you are looking for, for your game e.g. guns


screen shots of what i have so far:-

main start screen.
[img]http://81.86.120.81/dbpro/screen shots/screen1.jpg[/img]

news screen.
[img]http://81.86.120.81/dbpro/screen shots/screen2.jpg[/img]

upload screen.
[img]http://81.86.120.81/dbpro/screen shots/screen3.jpg[/img]

download screen (looks same for all of the types)
[img]http://81.86.120.81/dbpro/screen shots/screen4.jpg[/img]

i hope to get the first verison of the program readly for you lot to try by the end of the coming week, any comments on work so far and ideas would be grate thanks for your support.

edit: images not working check here for them (sorry)
umm http does not seem to work ever may juse be my pc but just copy and paste it into the address bar to check out screen shots thanks agin.

Cool, sorta like a p2p network for game developers then? Sounds exceedingly useful

One thought - what about a rating/comment system, that way lousey entries can be filtered away.

hmm, i'd even donate a few of my earlier models for armoured dragon, and a few other of my games to help out.

Will there be a request page?

I could see a major bandwidth problem though for this program, as soon as 1000+ programs / media are being downloaded / uploaded unless you've got yourself a dedicated server with no bandwidth limit

it is hosted by me with unlimited bandwidth. i am also going to make a request page later on and also if i start to get downloads slow i will make more than one page and a search to cut down on the number of files per pag which could get bad if there is a lot of people uploading. i am going to bring out the first verion end of the week and the other things will be added one as the project devalops. thanks agin for all of you help/support and any media would be very much liked as i do not have much to put into it for a start with going to get the programing out of the way realy before i try and get making media for it. so thanks

here is a quick update for you i have just got the ftp for the news page and the first downloads page sound_and_music working just adding that it all the others and will then be working on the uploading section. once i have done this there will be verion one downloadable for bugs and then i will add in the * rating and other cool stuff to make the program better.

edit:
problem found
when u download the file it takes a while to download because of the app will w8 until download is got before going onto the next line. this will not let you get more files for small files this will be ok for for large ones u may be sat there for a while.

ways to fix this
make it so you click download and it opens a new program to download it like in internet ex when u click on it then save or open.
i could make it add them to a list and then u click download later. (will run in same window frezzing app)
or i put them both together so you add them all to list and then click download and it will open a app to download them then clear the list of downloads readly for download.

please can you give me you ideas on this as soon as possible so i can start to get this into verison 1 and still get it out by the end of the week lol


thanks agin warship45

you could use a sort of bit torrent, if you know what i'm talking about.

dunno about the seperate download windows for every single media downloaded, but you could do that then hide the window automatically and show progress on your main window, just an idea. Hopefully something like LimeWire

yes but i cant show the prosess as the app will be locked the one that is downloadiun gi can show each file that has been download or files to be downloaded but the seccond app would not work and if u tryed to like view it would just be black. so i was thinking do it like this with the main ap seeing how much is left and the other app downloading them the other downloading app would not be a working app it would just run then stop and end.

hmm just an idea, but for the rating system, each user that uploads content, if the content is rated highly after a while maybe post some advertising for that user in the side of the news page? Sort of like publicity for giving lots of 'good' resources.

Doesn't everyone realise he could see who we are by our ip's i mean yes it looks good but going to a home server is kinda dodgy it log's ip's then you put the ip in an ip extractor site it'll show your name isp e.t.c we need more privacy really like ssl or something

umm you do understand that anywhere you got they get your ip darkbasic have your ip. you can get your ip just by posting on this site and others can get it there is nothing dodgy about it i am trying to make a program for people that will help them with there games and stuff. i do not have money to by a fast ftp server if i did then i would host from that however i dont so all i got is a home server and maby it is not the best and people may think like you did but i am trying to help you lot making getting media easyer.

and yes that is a good idea by the way about the rating system the like top 20 or 50 go onto the left side of the news page

Don't keep us waiting too long, and remember don't forget the rating system for the downloads that way we can easily tell what is crap / good

What would be really good would be allowing people to upload a thumbnail of the model which could be linked in some way so that downloaders can see what they are getting. Meh, that is probably just unneeded extra work!

I'm not that god at at texturing but I will contribute as much stuff as I can.

thanks and yes that was going to come in the update 2 once i have got the basic very easy to do that for it however not sure how much this is going to lag yet with all othe ftp stuff it will be doing for each one. however if it does lag i will add a button for get information which will then get the information off the ftp server. however the amount size for a small image would not take any time at all but i will need to test it to find out.

thnaks agin for all your ideas warship45

hi.
first of all - brilliant idea (wish i'd thought of that )

Secondly, How's about a viewer so you can view the files you've just downloaded... Or maybe you can assosiate the (for example).3ds tag with an application and automatically open this program once the file is downloaded. Of course this would have to be in the 2nd or 3rd version of your program... just a thought.

I'm very interested in this program and if you need any help with beta testing and content just email me @ s0l1dsnak3123[at]googlemail[dot]com

Good luck

would it be possible if we could work together to make a plugin for my new *cough cough* IDE *cough cough* for VB 2005 express edition... please, I think it would be quite good to be able to get media as you are programming.

"i will then be making my own graphics and stuff so it will look a lot beter in the second version."

Create a basic template, that way people can make their own graphics! 'Skins' I believe they're called.

Onto my question, is there a fully working version up 4 download yet? If so how secure is it? Will you have an anti virus on the main server to detect if the files are infected?
