NOW SUPPORTS BSP, MAP, LOC, ENT, README, AND MAPINFO UPLOAD! (No textures, sounds, etc. however; you have to use "mirror links.")
Beta maps accepted too!

Nice job, and thanks for hosting it :D I was just browsing through it a bit ago, maybe you could write a short post here listing ways in which people could help out with it (if that's even applicable)?

Submitting maps & rating them!
Although this thing is *seriously* rushed, it runs like a well-oiled machine (except for some inconsistencies).
* Email addresses in readme files are obfuscated
* Map BSP files are parsed for title and designer information (works on most maps), texture usage, game mode (an algorithm "guesses" the game mode if the map does not have the gamemode key), and a few other things
* Popup screenshot on the listing that's fast -- so, unlike most map databases, you can view *many* maps at once, and yet not sacrifice the ability to see the thumbnails of images
* Rating is weighted upon the number of voters
* Match potential is a separate and optional vote -- so that voters won't needlessly skew results
* RSS feeds available
What else? ;O
This is one thing I would like to do however:
Reweigh the individual criteria to make gameplay the most important rating.
Current weights:
if(count($rating_match_potential) > 0)
$rating_overall = ((.7*$rating_aesthetics)+(1.9*$rating_gameplay)+(.3*$rating_originality)+(1*$rating_match_potential))/
((.7*5)+(1.9*5)+(.3*5)+(1*5))*5;
else
$rating_overall = ((.7*$rating_aesthetics)+(1.9*$rating_gameplay)+(.3*$rating_originality))/
((.7*5)+(1.9*5)+(.3*5))*5;

I have a question. Dimensions: huge (16-32) - So that means the map is meant for min. 8v8? I do not those numbers there are even necessary. The word huge and the others describe it well enough.
Great work.
With a few DP community websites around maybe jitspoe can find a place where to put those links in the formal web. (im talking about the resource web, leezerz.com and europaint.)
-
Small, large, etc. I think is kind of huge. Your "huge" is not as someone else's "huge."
===
Oh, and as suggestions to help out go... if you find a map that is too high, feel free to rate it as necessary. If you know of a good map that's better than it is rated, rate that too. Rating all of them is a little too much, unless you have the time.
Then again, I'm probably a part of the only few that have played most of the maps in those map packs (or at least loaded them before).

Here here, I love finding gems amongst those you never see in pubs.

I said "only few," not "emo only myself" :B
-
I can't agree with you?
-
Bah. "Here here" didn't come off that way :P
-
hear hear* duh y00tz you dumb newb
-
New "analysis" features: see entities and textures list!

(see bottom right)

Awesome job like it much more then before so many more options :D
-
All maps current have a wiki page for them.
http://maps.digitalpaint.therisenrealm.com/index.php (see propaint1)
Note that "double jumping" and "trick jumping" are automatically footnoted. A few Paintball jargon (i.e. mm1) are automatically given the abbr HTML tag with a title to explain it.
-
Can it be centre aligned in the page rather than aligned to the left?
-
Done.
-
liar :P
EDIT: clears cache
EDIT: nope :(
-
Oh whoops; I misread what you wrote. Now I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. The whole site? (If yes, I just did it.)
-
Yeah, its fine now.. :D
