A javascript confirmation dialogue would be cool to have, just in case.

Folder size exceeded

However it still allows me to have 25 MB of files and I can download them as usually.

Two small suggestions...

Diplay images -> Display images
Maximum file size is 5000000 bytes -> Maximum file size is 5 MB

Rasbelin · February 17, 2003, 17:54

Just removed all my files in order to calm you mind, Markos. BTW, is this 100% Apolyton Laboratories production?

Panag · February 17, 2003, 18:01

that's the usual quota policy. if you exceed it, you can use what you uploaded but not put any more

nope, just the semi-automatic login and the features added during this thread

Grrr · February 17, 2003, 19:37

Markos ... what would be really useful to ... would be to able to upload files FROM an internet site directly into here.

EG ... I have file X hosted at www.thegrrr.orcon.net.nz/fileX ... and I want to move this to apolyton. As it is I'll have to download it, and then upload it again.

Method · February 17, 2003, 20:22

this'll be good for demo games

EDIT: .sav files don't work, even though it says they should

Rasbelin · February 18, 2003, 03:47

I agree with Panag about that. Too many risks involved.

Dont worry Markos, Rasbelin has been grumpy lately.

Or it could just be me being sleep deprived.....

MarkG · February 18, 2003, 05:14

testing....

Rasbelin · February 18, 2003, 05:22

/me pats Tass on the shoulder.

It's just you being paranoia and sleep deprived.

MarkG · February 18, 2003, 05:30

Files should now be accessible only if linked from an Apolyton page

please report any issues....

Pedrunn · February 18, 2003, 10:19

Is this a dream???

Please pinch me. This just is too good to be true.

Everything i alway wanted! I finally can upload my CTP2mod once it is ready. So that i can link it to the database

Apolyton! I love you

questions that the FAQ doesnt explain!
Is there a time limit for how long a upload can be kept?
Is there a way to have my files deleted by the apolyton administration?

Sava · February 18, 2003, 10:46

cool

MarkG

Skanky Burns · February 18, 2003, 11:21

Will have to investigate this new option...

ydiiby · February 18, 2003, 11:40

Internet Explorer show me warnings

How off-topic can I be, potentially? Is it checked? Is there anything to prevent me from downloading some sought-after game patch, uploading it onto my portion of the server and then linking to it from, say, Blue's News? Bandwith Bomb!

Asmodean · February 18, 2003, 12:36

Great feature. I've already used it to upload files and make a screenshot thread in the Galactic Civilizations forum.

Check it out: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=77643

Does this mean that we can only use the files to link inside Apolyton?(problaby best for Apolyton

)
And can we link to them in other forums only if we post the file somewhere in Apolyton?

what did you put as the username in the form?

vovan · February 18, 2003, 13:38

Actually I got the same error when first going to the upload section. (I suppose it is simply because there isn't a directory for every user, and they are created "on-demand".) When I uploaded a file, the directory was created, and the error messages went away.

So, you might just want to quiet down the opendir() function with an @ prefix, so that it doesn't complain when it can't find a dir to open.

not trying to upload unrelated stuff when there are tons of ways to do that in dedicated for that purpose sites would be nice

beyond that, we've got several kinds of ways to see if something being downloaded a lot. in the case that it's something that has no place on our server you can be sure that we'll be acting in every possible way

if you read the bolded post above, you should not be able to link directly to a file from another site

i guess if you try to view your files without having any files at all, it gives out a warning....

hmmmm....

well the idea is that you post a file for some apolyton-related use(game file, screenshot, etc)

Quote:

yes.
e.g. if you make a scenario and upload it on apolyton, you should make a thread about it or submit it in the Directory. then you could link from other sites to the thread or the directory entry....

Pedrunn · February 18, 2003, 14:30

I can understabd the max size of 20. After all it is impossible to have a infinite number of bytes to uploads.

But is there a reason not to increase the max size of the file to be downloaded? Something bigger then 5 MB?
