Hi all.
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? ;)

David

Put the files there.  Nothing else to do.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

My words are mine and mine alone.  I can't speak for anyone else, and there is no one who can speak for me.  If I ever make a post that gives the opinions or positions of other users or groups, then they will be clearly labeled as such.
I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.
I am not a dev.  Nothing I say counts for anything.

There?
I was thinking in a good explaination of the procedure not 8 words.

David

Put the files on your website.  That's it.  Nothing special to do.  Put them there and point at them.

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)

I don't have to create a web server apache to show the maps and download it from browser too?

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?

David

Assuming the server is apache, add "Options +Indexes" to the .htaccess and it'll make the directory listings for you.

I don't have the menĂ¹ 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 or perhaps this ?

Archangel

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.

|MoT|Erfe555

Archangel your humor surprises me.
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!

|MoT|Erfe555

I try to learn through this forum.
Explain well next time.

Baconizer

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. 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.
Why will you folk not ban me? :'(

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.
