Space on the server

Post by sympatyk »

:howdy
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 ...

Yes + https://forum.open-general.com/viewtopi ... 797#p18797
+ thumbnails for the first post (as it was before)

Maybe in the future I would include my layers with houses and other infrastructure ..?

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I place unpublished maps (for campaigns converted from PEG), alternative maps e.g. in gray colors, for showing errors, explaining/answering questions (supported by a drawing,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

:yes 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 ... :bow @Darek


btw: he also setas https instead of http all the links to the server; have you noticed any issue ?

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
