I search all over the forum but i not found the answer for my question.
I have a website hosted by altervista and i want to create a map repository if it is possible anyone can explain the procedure? ;)

Post by: David on August 05, 2009, 05:36:13 pm: Put the files there. Nothing else to do.

Post by: |MoT|Erfe555 on August 05, 2009, 06:28:20 pm: There?
I was thinking in a good explaination of the procedure not 8 words.

Post by: ghostisback on August 05, 2009, 07:53:56 pm: example:
create a folder called base, then put all maps in the base folder, then point your server download to your website (mot.altervista.org = website - mot.altervista.org/base = repository)

It depends on what you exactly try to achieve:

1.
Browsable map repository

2.
Ingame map download

Ghost and David have explained to you how Nr.2 works. How Nr.1 works depends on how complicated/feature complete you want it to be.

How can i do this?

Post by: David on August 13, 2009, 01:01:50 pm: Assuming the server is apache, add "Options +Indexes" to the .htaccess and it'll make the directory listings for you.

Post by: |MoT|Erfe555 on August 13, 2009, 01:17:48 pm: I don't have the menù option with Indexes in it.
I have only a space where i can write the insturction to the file .htaccess
So what is the procedure?

Could you give us an exemple of what you'd want?
Something like that: MG (http://) or perhaps this (http://gcc.olympe-network.com/ftp/Geek/) ?

Post by: Archangel on August 13, 2009, 06:06:56 pm: a webserver, a fancy index script written in php/perl/python/ruby/insert-other-web-cgi-language, a nice layout, and a lot of maps.

Your work on the forum is simply to criticize the work of others or to make idiot jokes.
As someone said you are a real disgrace for Tremulous and I am surprised that the moderators do not have you thrown out of a kick in the ass.

Anyway any others have the solution for my problem?

Archangel described exactly what you need. If it is above your head: get learning (or utilize google), lazy gal!
Title: Re: How to create my own map repository?
Post by: |MoT|Erfe555 on August 13, 2009, 07:41:28 pm: I try to learn through this forum.
Explain well next time.

Post by: Baconizer on August 13, 2009, 08:25:02 pm: Given the way you just treated Archangel when he tried to help you, why would anyone else try?

As Bissig just told you, if you don't understand something try Google (http://www.google.com). If you can't find it, then ask.

People here aren't paid to help. They help others on this forum because they want to. If you treat them like you did Archangel, no one will.

I already told you how to get basic listing.
All of two seconds of googling about indexes gets you http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html
The bricosoft map repo (which seems to have died) was entirely done via mod_autoindex and IMO was the best looking of the lot.
