Author Topic: Blockfeed Content Base  (Read 5387 times)


Topic by Sylvanor, English by Whose :P



I have decided with some friends some years ago to create a blockland base platform for everyone and that will contain all informations about blockland content.
With the end of RTB and some others interesting add-ons platforms, more and more people asked me about the project.
I now post this topic to ask the community opinion about this, and i am going to give some details about the main features.

- A social wall for all your news, images, posts, and opinions about stuff (related to blockland)
- A private profile page and a public one to tell about you.
- A download management page (you will be able to search addons, images, saves and tutorials.
- Anyone will be able to create custom groups and clans pages
- A nice search system, you will no more need to spend days looking for informations (:
- A chat system with pms.



Example of pages (keep in mind this is a first sketch, and of course, this is hopefully not the final version)

The download page


The wall


The profile page


The friends page


Some other stuff...




Understand this is a personal project i started here, there are no attempts copy famous social networks or even RTB.
Myself, i have been to looking for addons constantly, faced dead links, forgotten addons, saves... And i decided i had to do someting.
This project is at 20% done, and will be done, dont worry. I am working with 2 friends on it atm, so thats why it takes so long, i have started in February 2013.
I would like to remind that it wont contain an ingame manager, or chat linked to internet, because i dont know how to do it.
Pls, Notice that i dont know how to make in-game client or authentication with the game yet.

I hope you will enjoy what i am doing, "and who knows, maybe one day you will use it!

I actually have more than 2000 saves/addons i will put on the site! (a bit more than 400gb)
Come on, comment on it, if you have ideas to help improving this! (also, sorry for bad english)
The graphical gui is a test, it will be probably more blockland-ish on release or beta.

Fantastic, just make sure you have measures in place to stop things like what Truce did ages ago from happening again.

Make sure you have trusted members of the community who excel in coding and spotting exploits (People like Port, Trinick, me and others) review addons before they're allowed to be downloaded. This can prevent a lot of extremely destructive code from going live, especially if this platform becomes popular.

Will there be a Music section?


Ipquarx: who knows? Maybe they will join?
Mr.Nobody: yeah, you are free to upload anything. There will be categories.

Will the add-ons uploaded need to be approved by moderators? If so, they should definitely all require a good knowledge of TorqueScript. I'm sure there would be many in the coding community that would be willing to do it(myself included).
