Trash
page: 1 2
I say let's start whit the Trash maps. Everyone who would like to join in searching of a trash maps is welcome. I will se how many people will like to join in this in the next 24 hours and depends on the nomber of people we will split the number of maps.

Like from ID ## to ID ## .

So i am IN :)

Nighmarjoo is IN too, otherwise he is a NAZI.

like, maps that should get deleted?
2007, 01, 10 14:28
Yes. In this category they are:

• Same maps but different versions (authors should learn to edit their maps)

• Stupid maps such as (8)Under Siege bla-bla...

• --v.mOsQ maps...

my maps
2007, 01, 10 14:37
My old maps are pretty much pure crap. But they played really nice ^^
2007, 01, 10 14:51
when i deleted my trash maps myself, some uploaded them again (chaos factor, black cross) -.-
2007, 01, 10 15:09
just don't delete them right away ;)
2007, 01, 10 16:45
Well, flo at least you know that i have all your DB :P

we have to determine a set definition of what counts as trash before we can even start doing this
2007, 01, 10 21:45
Nope, we don't have to. Everyone can just SUGGEST what he thinks should be deleted, and then we decide together which to actually delete. Imo a single "no" vote should be enough for a map not to be deleted, at least for now.

zomg LGI's pro peer pressure forces me to be IN

ok guys scour the database and find shit maps. If the author is no longer active here and the map is shit I say it can die. If the author is still active I want to see his approval before it's removed.

btw you can tell my map eguna to GTFO :) I can't delete it, that would be like killing a bastard mentally retarded son of mine. But forces outside my control can kill it :)

Well I don't feel like looking through maps manually, what I could do is writing a script to find the maps where the actual map file is non-existant, or the ones without a picture. Those are generally strong candidates for deletetion.
2007, 01, 11 07:34
Hehe, it would save us time :P
2007, 01, 11 08:20
all of my maps except PoV, Lightning, and Dark Obscurity. Possibly River Edge, though it still looks quite sucky.
2007, 01, 11 15:09
complete list of all map file sizes
(when there is an error msg it means the file does not exist. I also have all files that are bigger than 300KB in blue color, I dont think it is a good idea to upload huge files like that, even if it is possible.)

When you use ctrl+f to find Strings like "no pic", you can get the ID of the maps pretty soon.

I could also write a script to actually delete automatically, but then we would have to define exactly what requirements those entries would have to have.

also interesting:
test.php

All those maps "share" the same picture file. The script will just overwrite a file if you upload one with the same name. Thats why I asked ppl to give reasonable names to their map files, not "map.jpg" or something like this...
2007, 01, 11 17:01
I am against a script for deleting files, you never can be sure that you don't catch a good one by accident. ~2000 maps is not THAT much, after all.
2007, 01, 11 17:16
I second spines.
I'll start scouring the database though; it might take me all of 2007 to go through the whole database, but if I don't start maybe no one else will :O
2007, 01, 11 21:57
7, 189, 236, 342, 345, 350, 366, 844
I reccomend for deletion. If the authors or atleast two non admins (or one admin) votes to keep it then I believe they should stay.
