UPLOAD DEMOS HERE!
« on: June 16, 2010, 03:14:25 PM »
Test.

Want to show off your keygrip skills? Posting a match demo for review? Here's a nice new easy place to do it:

http://www.banterous.co.uk

Give it a go and tell me what you think :)
It supports q2 demos as well as paintball, as the formats are basically identical.

It's a beta, there are probably many bugs, please report them if you see them :)

If you have Firefox 3.6, Google Chrome, Safari or Opera, please use them instead of IE, as the site uses CSS3, which IE ignores.

This is a good idea. Do the demo's automatically get deleted after a certain amount of time? Otherwise wouldn't this use all of your hosting space?

Great idea. Made also very nice. I like the stuff like view chat. Will it be easy to find the right demo if there are too many of them? I'd like to see something like: DaRk vs. eX, or something like this - yes could be put in the description, but it makes it more difficult to find it quick.

Amazing idea ViciouZ. This will most definitely be used! I know this took you a lot of work to do, so thanks for putting the effort! How often will demo's be removed? ''basically kyuuchi's question''. So do you want people to just upload demo's every so often 'even if not requested' so then a newer player can view better players demo's if they want? Anyways, good idea ViciouZ. :)

-- This should be marked in the 'Demo Request section' so people just use this site instead of some other random file sharing site.

If people do manage to upload 10+GB of demos I'll look into culling the oldest ones, but currently I have so much space it's not really a problem. So currently there is no timeout on demos.

The intention was that people just use it instead of file sharing sites for uploading demo files, not go out of their way to add more stuff. I've got some feedback for ideas such as categories for tournaments, like you suggested, and some from idias about adding a tags system and allowing more info to be specified about the demo when it is uploaded, such as if it's a match/hack report/jump demo.

My current stuff to work on list is basically adding more general information to the site, improving the browse page, adding a search feature and generally tweaking the theme to make it look better.

*BUMP*

10/7/10 Update:
  • Added additional controls to the browse demo page which should make looking through all the demos much easier.


Is there any chance this could be moved to Demo Requests and stickied? Pleeeeeeeease? :)

I assume you edit the first post and then hit a sticky button somewhere.

Sorry to bump/double post but there are some new updates:

  • Browsing system now goes over multiple pages
  • More sorting/filtering options on the browse page
  • Private demos that don't appear on the browse page
  • Easier to get a link to share with somebody


Coming soon:
  • Search by player name


Also there are now some ads, 1 set at top of page, hopefully they are not too annoying for everyone.

Isn't it pointless? Who'd like to watch all of your demos.. Just post there your best ones.

Vic: bug report! the filtering thing doesn't keep my settings when i browse to the next page... i.e. the next/prev page links don't include the GET info necessary to keep the filters that were set.
