Seriously, it's pissing me off. I tried to submit a file through the DLDB in a .rar, but when I submit it tells me that upload is not permitted and deleted all the file description I had written. I try to attach the file to a post, and it tells me .RARs aren't allowed.
I really don't care if the DLDB part is fixed, but if it wouldn't be too hard to add .RARs to the list of uploads allowed, then please do.

The only part I'm curious about is if the average sen user knows what a .rar file is...
Because personally, I use .ace... and you definitely have a point.

I use rar. But to be honest SEN made me use .zip more often than rar.

I though .RAR:.ZIP::DVD:CD.
ZIP is fine, but DVD is just more used.
But really, it can't cause any harm to just add the file type. Or am I wrong there?

.RAR:.ZIP::DVD:CD
Uh... what? More or less, I think of it as perference...
.rar:.zip:.ace:.gz::green apples:red apples:yellow apples
Maybe... although .rar has a little more things for it, sure.
I'll add it, sure.

Why are people so adverse to submitting SCX/SCM files? Zipped single maps should be banned..

I say we just stick with one because the majority of people have WinZip.

There are always campaigns and multiple file submissions...
But zipped single maps should be done away with, yes, definitely.

It's a mod actually, and I have it saved as a .EXE.

Maybe it could be integregated into SENv5 with a new tab for downloading multiple file openers such as Rar, Zip, etc. Someone would have to make the different kinds so it would probably take awhile. It would probably be best just to Email/PM to a friend so that they may change it to Zip for you.

While you're at it, could you add .bmp's as well? Its the type of file used in compiling a .grp and its easier to just attach it rather than risk changing the quality of the picture by changing the file type.

Different types of extensions should be allowed for pictures because Killer_Kow is right. As for other types of files that won't change the quality of the submission there should not be different file openers used.

Since winace doesn't let me make .rar files... someone upload one so I can see if it worked...
.bmp has been added. The only worry there is that people will upload 500kb images (not being used for modding and the like) because they are too lazy to convert.
ADDITION:
Anything else?

Awesome sir, thank you for adding them.

I don't know much about modding, but aren't there alot more picture extensions you could add? Or are those the two main ones?

I often test ZIP, RAR, 7z, and ACE to see which is the smallest before sending it to someone. The results are almost always different.

I didn't add .grp... I should, I take it?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Killer_Kow(MM) on 2006-09-24 at 15:21:04
.bmp is the only one.
I'd say .exe's, but that poses obvious risks...
I suppose maybe .dat, .bin, and maybe .pat/.mgd extensions. Oh, and .grp's of course.

Right, I forgot SMK. But MGP would only be useful for the 1.11 version.
And whatever file FireGraft saves as should be added
