Do you have the game Command & Conquer Renegade and are interested in becoming a staff member on Game-Maps.NET?
We are looking for a new staff member to help us add downloads for Renegade

Requirements:

* Basic HTML knowledge (<a> <img> tags)
* Filezilla FTP Client knowledge
* Winrar archiver knowledge
* Navicat MySQL software knowledge (is very easy to learn)
* Basic image processing for making thumbnails and such in .png format and sometimes .gif
* Trustworthy with access

If you are interested then you can post in this topic. We will discuss internally who we are going to accept as
a new staff member.
All the required tools are available for download in case you don't already have them.
In case you wish to talk to us about this in person you can join the channel #game-maps on irc.mp-gaming.com

Before anyone replys, the Renegade Section is our main section, the work it takes to add skins to the site can be a long process, you only need to look at one of the files I have added in the skins section to see how much work it takes.

Thanks for reading.

I'd be up for this.

I got HTML knowledge, FTP knowledge, Know how to rar/unrar, Making thumbnails isn't hard and as I run my own server and I am a Jelly-Server full mod currently, I might be trustworthy also.

Hit me up with a PM for questions or anything else if you want Wink

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

Sounds like you need to develop yourself a download system that loads up all the files for you without having to touch any markup. Wink

It's not that hard to make it auto generate a thumbnail even and all that. Just takes time to code.


You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Hmm, the download systsem is not idle but it's what we stuck with for a while, one of my admins has just updated the website software to a newer version which has fixed a few bugs in the old version, adding files and editing present ones is better now.

The slow part in the process is the prep-work before adding the file.

For exemple, let's say am going to add a infantry skin?

This how it goes.

Quote:


Game/Screenshot Phase 1

1) Install skin to my test installation of Renegade.
2) Start Renegade Client 1.
3) Start Renegade Client 2.
4) Renegade client 1 hosts a passworded online server.
5) Renegade client 2 joins server.
6) Renegade client 2 changes into the infantry that the skin, changes, moves to a spot in the map that is good for photographic work, it's pretty laggy..
7) Drop to desktop, switchs to Renegade Client 1.
Cool Buys sniper (clearscope skin attached, makes for better clear screenshots with HUD disabled and SK's hud remover as well for total clear image, graphic settings on MAX)
9) Takes a few screenshots of the infantry unit, front and back and the infantry buy logo if it has one.
10) Repeat as many times if needed for more skins.
11) Close down clients.

Screenshot/Editing Phase 2

1) Resize screenshots to 600x800 from my resolution (normally done in batchs, screenshots are saved as .png.
2) Rename the image to the creator and skin name.
3) Move screenshot or batchs of images to a watermark program, adds the Game-Maps logo to the screenshot at the bottom right.
4) Resize and adds _t addon in a other batch convert for thumbnails, done at 125x100.

File Making Phase 3

1) Make the .exe, adds the skins, a .png screenshot, game-maps urls, turns into our custom installers
2) Repeat the same as 1) but this time just a simple .zip
3) Test the .exe by starting it, don't have to install, just take a look to see if it works.

Adding file to DB Phase 4

1) Upload skin files to correct spot in the FTP.
2) Upload screenshots to correct spot int he FTP.
3) Open a new topic at mp-gaming forums.
4) Add the information for the file in there and the download link, click post.
5) On the Game-Maps ADD FILE page, add all the information for the file, including the forum link for the topic, forum topic must come first.
6) Add the file.
7) Refresh a other page where the download will show up and test it, rate the file, test the file by downloading both copys and the images and forum link and anything else.
Cool Delete files you been using from your computer.

File added.


Now this might sound a lot, but it takes me from phase 2 to 4 about 1 minute or two.

Phase 1 is normally done the night before, ready for linking the next day or so on.

Normally I add a butch of files in one go, then one at a time.

I'd be interested in this, I have some HTML knowledge, I use Filezilla basically everyday(http://www.lone0001.neogods.net/ Wink) along with WinRAR, don't have experience with Navicat MySQL software though I would be willing to learn that of course, I work with images a lot(editing, improving, don't base the improving part off my horrible signatures Wink), I would say I am fairly trust worthy with access.

PM or email me(via the gmail email at the top right) if you need to talk to me or need more info.
