Space on the server
Space on the server
Hello OG team
Is it possible to store on the server and make available for downloading such elements as map components, ready layers?
For example, Randowe shared his map components on an external server, but it ceased operations and everything disappeared ...

Re: Space on the server
I don't know what the possibilities are on the open-general.com server
So I'll try to explain the idea
There are situations when you need to place/show a drawing on the forum
You use free servers then (I did that too)
If such a server stops working (free hosting is unprofitable) - we lose these files
If these were important things, from the community's point of view, e.g. a good tutorial, showing a solution to an important problem (and it was lost forever) --> then you should ask about placing these things on a good server (so that they don't get lost)
How is it solved on opengeneral.pl?
Darek, knowing about the problem of lost files --> shared a folder (for everyone from the forum), where you can place drawings (there are limitations regarding the size of the file, its editing...)
However, several people who create for OG - received personal folders with greater possibilities
This system has been working for several years - thanks to mutual trust
What do I use the personal folder for?
I place unpublished maps (for campaigns converted from PEG), alternative maps e.g. in gray colors, for showing errors, explaining/answering questions (supported by a drawing, screenshot)
Also to illustrate played campaigns
If I'm talking to you - I also place necessary/helpful drawings there
Things like Randowe made map backgrounds - I think they should be stored ... so that they don't disappear with the server not working
Thumbnails were generated from these map backgrounds (size 400x400px)
I don't have them (nobody has them)
I generated --> prefix min_"name"
Additionally, I generated for the latest DvWxlri background
They are in the same folder as all backgrounds

Re: Space on the server
Darek told me already how it is done in the polish server and he is probably working already to do something similar en open-general.com so can be sure that will be implemented here soon ... @Darek
btw: he also setas https instead of http all the links to the server; have you noticed any issue ?

Re: Space on the server
Thank you for your answer
For me it doesn't matter - https or http - I didn't notice a problem
The only thing that seems to be different after setting up the server after a failure --> longer login time and longer message sending time
Re: Space on the server
I have made space available on the server for user content ..
