ARGH!

I've done this before and it hasn't caused a problem, including a voicepack in with a skin, but this time it favored the voice over the skin and placed it in the wrong category!!

[Shrimp]

Do you want it to be listed as a Skin rather?

Do you want it to be listed as a Skin rather?

Yes, although it it makes it simpler I could just remove the voicepack... you'd have to delete that entry and I'd upload it again without that.

I spent the last few months reworking how authors are tracked and stuff.

Credits for everyone:

The website now tries to track everyone's stuff a bit more contextually. Now we try to track the "original author", "collaborators" (when multiple people worked on something) and "editors" when something is an edit of an existing work.

Here are some examples of each.

An original work: Dark Clowns - shows EvilGrins as the author.

A modification: MH-Crazy][Warlords - shows the original author as Kaal"TheSinew"979 and both EvilGrins and Keller as editors.

A collaborative work: DM-TMC-Narean - by both FraGnBraG and Swanky.

This is still prone to errors. Sometimes it matches the wrong things on author names or misses some things. It's kind of hard for a machine to reliably pick out all the random permutations people have used for naming styles over the years, not to mention typos and things in people's own names and the like , so it's very much best effort, but as ever we can try to clean up the data as we go.

Author Pages

Authors pages now list sections for each of the above classifications of things, so everything someone has contributed to, or made edits for, should show up under their name. Map packs are a special case, where every author whose work has been included in a map pack will appear under the "Collaborative Works" section.

You'll note on EvilGrins page for example, he as a profile picture. I just added that as example data since I needed something to work with. In addition to the profile picture, you'll see that everywhere his name appears on the site, it's accompanied by an icon. These can be set per author. In addition, you can set a custom background image (granted, it's blurry on the current style) and a "cover" image that shows up in the author listing. My profile demonstrates those.

These are still managed in Git, and I'm not going to collect and assign images for everyone - if you want to add something for yourself or someone else, please open a Pull Request on the Unreal Archive Data repo. Instructions are documented in the authors README.

Hopefully this goes some way to addressing some of the weirdness around multiple authors and things.

Kaal being credited as an 'original author'.....

[UnrealGGecko]

Really cool! Hope to help out with some of these (and also make one for myself, forgot I already used 3 different names for my maps)

Author Pages

BarbieRev25.jpg

How old must I be to have 25 revisions?
I guess that name is taken from my first map conversion "MH-Niven" that took 25 updates.
Surprisingly "Barbie Rev 25 author page" lists a lot of "SP"¹ maps where I were not participated (eg. "MH-[SP]TwinTower"). But I converted some Single Player maps with that name - maybe something was mixed up there.

---

Sometime I used "Barbie" or "SeriousBarbie" as author so that they are at least two different Authors in UA for me.
Also some other of "my" things are missing or run under false flag: my "Fast Redeemer" is coded by "INI file".

---

As I suggested elsewhere in this thread: let trusted people help you to classify or even to comment articles.

1) "SP" may stand for

• Single Player
• Sniper's Paradise (Monster Hunt)

@Shrimp There's a mutator that I uploaded into Unreal Archive.org which is WOT (Weapons of Tomrrow) for Unreal Gold. I know that you already of one for Unreal Tournament which is this one https://unrealarchive.org/unreal-tourna ... f9dac.html.
Here's the one for Unreal Gold. https://github.com/unreal-archive/unrea ... /pull/4358
I already left a message about this on Github anyway.

Can you create a gametype section for Mush Match? I think it's a pretty decent gametype nowadays, all things considered. The uploader sadly can't seem to figure out how to work with gametypes.

And yes, register it under wallabra.

@Shrimp are you going to put the TestSBPropertyChangerV2 Map and Onslaught Beta Mappack for UT99 in the Unreal Archive.org it's been open on github for months anyway.

@Shrimp I uploaded Nali Weapons 1 and 2 mutators to Unreal Archive.org since Unreal Archive.org only have the Nali Weapons 3 Mutator and I left a message about both of these on Github.com anyway.
Nali Weapons 1 https://github.com/unreal-archive/unrea ... /pull/4388
Nali Weapons 2 https://github.com/unreal-archive/unrea ... /pull/4387
Nali Weapons 3 https://unrealarchive.org/unreal-tourna ... f8503.html

[TigerTheGreat]

The following can't be added due to the detector, it's Tentacle-HunteR's map series with the missing map "seaside" recovered.
