Tf suggested this a couple days ago and since one has gotten to work on it I figured that I would post it. Anyways if you don't know already the civfanatics file database (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php) just opened recently (http://forums.civfanatics.com/announcement.php?f=19&a=412) that is where all files are to be new and old. And thats where the problem lies, there are thousands of units that have not been uploaded into the database and they need to be in there. But since there are so many files it's going to take more then just a few people. I myself have done my part and have added 266 units since saturday(Yes I know, I have no life). If people could help out that would be great, so if your a unit maker if you could add your units to the database that would help a lot, but there are still a great many unit makers who have moved on and no longer post here their files have to uploaded as well. So if you want to help just go into the unit forum and find a inactive unit maker whose units haven't been added and post here that your doing that user, but make sure to check that no one else is doing it to avoid overlaps. Also if you manage to upload 150 files then you will be added to the File DB Helpers group (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=4339443&postcount=113)which will give you 80x80 custom avatars(6kb size limit) and allows for 130 PMs.


NOTE: If you would like your files that we have uploaded moved to your profile please PM Plotinus (http://forums.civfanatics.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=37977) and request it.

I myself have done my part and have added 257 units/graphic files since last thursday. I think that If people could help out that would be great. And this new 80x80 avvie is way cooler than the old 70x70 avvie :D

Heres what I've done

aaglo:

[EDIT]
MarineCorps, it's aaglo - not Aaglo to be exact ;)

So if you want to help just go into the unit forum and find a inactive unit maker whose units haven't been added and post here that your doing that user, but make sure to check that no one else is doing it to avoid overlaps.

What length of time defines "inactive"?

I've put most of my stuff on too.

Please bear in mind that it's not just units that need to be added, but everything. That includes leaderheads, terrain mods, scenarios - the lot. The Civ III section of the database currently has far, far more stuff in it than the Civ II and Civ IV ones put together, but this is mostly units (and, I think, mostly down to aaglo and MarineCorps together). So it's very unbalanced. There are like five scenarios up there right now, and one of those is a unit that's been put in the wrong section. At the very least, someone needs to go through Goldflash's list of LHs and upload the ones by inactive creators.

I'd say that if someone hasn't logged in for six months, their files are fair game for uploading.

Of the known inactive users, Kinboat is probably the one whose work needs to be uploaded most urgently. In my view, anyway.

Indeed, all the graphics, scenarios, maps, modpacs and utilities should be included in the file database - not only units. :)

I've added a couple of Kindred72's units. I was going to add some of aaglo's, but I thought he might want to do it himself.

@MarineCorps - Thanks for adding all of Pleb's units, but all of the ones you added have been redone! :lol:

I've added Bebros, and most of mine. (need to get better pics for GRM, and upload my fencer army m-unit)

EDIT: Starting on Embryodead now...

What length of time defines "inactive"?

I've been rather lose on that but most of the unit makers who have been gone have been gone for a while. ShiroKobbure has only been gone for 10 days but hasn't post in almost a month. Besides TF said that if an inactive user becomes active again he can add the files to their name.


[EDIT]

Picky picky. :p

I knew I should of said something about this. Yes I am aware that LH, modpacks, scen, etc ALL need to be put in the database, however the civ3 units forums is the largest of all the file forums(I just checked to make sure) so thats my biggest concern is getting the hard stuff out of the way first.




Of the known inactive users, Kinboat is probably the one whose work needs to be uploaded most urgently. In my view, anyway.
Yeah. He's got a long list of units. I'll take him if no one else wants him since I did RT who also had a long list....

I've added a couple of Kindred72's units. I was going to add some of aaglo's, but I thought he might want to do it himself.


Yeah aaglo gets himself.:p But keep on adding units!:)



@MarineCorps - Thanks for adding all of Pleb's units, but all of the ones you added have been redone! :lol:

Yes by you. Pleb hasn't redone them. Those go under your units.


Bebro's Units that are accessable to the public are completed!


Thanks. You only have 77 files uploaded... I always thought BeBro had done more then 100 units. Must be me.

Embryodead, Done!

Bebro probabily did have more than 100 units. But some of the units I can't access (like almost all of his ships, and a few units here and there)

Embryodead, Done!


Good. Only 2000 more units to go!:D

Why can't you access them?

bad links.

Why can't you access them?
Links are to some other random place that's not CFC, and is offline.

Thats great. Good luck. :goodjob: And don't forget to add your own units,

I'll take care of my units sometime soon.

I really don't like this database though. It seems like a lot of work for creators--be it for units, leaderheads, scenerios, etc. I've been posting units here the same way for years, and I'm set in my ways . . . I fear change . . . Okay, I'm exaggerating. :) Well, we'll see how it goes.

I did muffins already

ive added my two measly units

1. Speederbike
2. Super Star Destroyer

Every bit helps. Thats two less units that I or someonelse needs to upload.:)

@bluemofia: Chris85 is still active though...

Active or not his units still need to be uploaded. If chris later wants the files to be add under his name TF can be asked to do that.

Already did dease forgot to add him

Yeah, about that. Shouldn't those pikemen go in the medieval era instead the rennaisance?

I thought they should but the range for rennaisance goes from 1492 AD - 1700 AD and I read somewhere that they were in the 15th century

Done with Chris and Dease.

And now I'm bored, and going to take a break.

Yeah I know. My fault. Slip of the mind.:( I say don't delete them, rather for your next one just overwrite them by editing it.

I'll do the first 2 pages of the Unit Library.

Ok, I'm preemphativly claiming A Viking Yeti's and Dom Pedro II's units.

@Marine Corps: I've noticed you've done a repeat of Dease's African Pike/Spearman.

Whoops Wonder how I did that. Also I already did a viking yeti. Whoops. Another one I forgot to mention.

It's easier to do units makers instead. That way we don't have to list all the units that have been posted to avoid overlaps. I suggest adding all of smoking mirriors units.

Makes sense. Started on Smoking Mirror's units

And can everyone please make sure the files go in the right categories? There are actually more units in the Scenarios section than there are scenarios! Which kind of defeats the whole point.

Sorry about that. :blush:

Is there an easy way to get the images of the units? AFAIK, the only wayto do it is to download the image to my comp, then upload it to the file database.

Yes, most of Kinboat's early units had that, :wallbash:

Frederick II of Prussia (3d-anim-era) - just added it :D

Alright, I've almost put up all my units, here's one question:

A few of my units have several editions (ie: Sloop, Trident, Corvette, eventually a few more), only the latest editions of those I consider legit, so, can I get by just putting up the most recent editions, or do you want absolutely everything no-ifs-ands-or-buts?

Just post the best, as not to confuse people, :D.

I myself agree with you that the latest version is the only legit version but some might not, so if someone wants to include all version then go ahead. I'll leave it up to the creator. So it's up to you.

Right then, I'll just leave them unless they're requested (why-ever the heck that might happen:crazyeye: )

I've finished putting up all my other stuff, thanks Thunderfall for putting up the Calormen Ship for me (small task I'm sure, but thanks anyways:) ), from now on I'll be sure to upload there like everyone else now.:D

ShiroKobbure units are done. Time to move on to la Dav.

Right then, I'll just leave them unless they're requested (why-ever the heck that might happen:crazyeye: )

You could also include links to the older version files or threads in the file description -window

I'll do my stuff soon(ish) :)

Someone added some units under the scenarios sections.

They ought to ask Thunderfall to move them to the correct places, I suppose.

You can edit them if you stated them. Just go to "edit file" and change the category.

Thanks for all your help. :)

I've moved them to the correct category.

As odintheking mentioned, the uploader can also edit the file to move it to the correct location.

can one upload tutorials also? I have a few tutorials here in a zip, can i upload those as well?

Yep, I think there is a tutorials -section too (or something like "other stuff" ;) )

:hmm: about how many units do you get per inactive unit-maker?

you seem to do it very quickly, thats why I'm asking. ;) :p

:hmm: about how many units do you get per inactive unit-maker?


It varies widely. Some have a 130 others have 5.

Now going to claim Kindred72, if no one's doing him.

Hmm I don't think so but I'm not 100% sure on that. Might want to look in this thread to make sure.

Alright I did a quick check and 3 of his units are in the database but thats it but those were added a while ago so you should be clear to do Kindred.

Umm, I'm sorry to go back like this, but after looking at the database and what's involved in uploading files and preview images to it, I've decided against adding my old units to it. I'll add my new units there in the future, but I will not be adding my previously completed units.

You don't have to upload them units there. All you need to do is add a link to your uploaded file (in civfanatics uploads folder).

It was quite easy. :)
I did all of mine quite quicly :)
I just added the links from my unit library (no, not the threads, but the actual download files). :)

Hmm . . . okay. I'll give it a try.

Good! :)

You know, in the description I didn't include all the info I gave in the old thread. I just included also a link to the thread in the file description.

And I think you could also upload a still image on each unit - that way you'll get nice thumbsize previews :)

Okay, all my units are up. It was kind of fun looking back at my humble beginnings in the unit making world. I'm certainly glad that I've improved!

Anyway, I'm having trouble downloading files. I've tried a number of times to download files, but it's only worked once. Normally, a window will open up and display the page for the file again. I work on a mac, using Safari, but I also tried Firefox. Both do the same thing--the one successful attempt was with Firefox. Does anyone else have this problem?

Well, I've done my explaining of things once, I thought that because this is only a file database, I just included also a link to the thread (so people can go there an yap about it - and increase their postcount ;) ). But that was only for the older units. In the future I'm planning on including a bit more information about those units I'll do.

Alright I did a quick check and 3 of his units are in the database but thats it but those were added a while ago so you should be clear to do Kindred.
Doing a quick search, seeing that Odin has already done those 3, I'll let him do it.

So I'll do MoscaTnT's units.

Why don't you try doing ripptide's units, since he doesn't come around here anymore, :).

Because MarineCorps did the as his first job.

Isn't MarineCorps already doing/done them?

Well, now that I've been "moderated", I'll be keeping an eye out for those miscategorised files that I was moaning about. I've noticed that there are some that are in the right general section (eg, Civ III units) but which seem to me to be in the wrong sub-section (eg, in ancient units when they should be in fantasy units). I'll move those too, but I'll leave a comment saying it's been moved. If you think it should be moved back then let me know. Also, if anyone spots a file in the wrong place that hasn't yet been moved, let me know and I'll move it.

If you do move a file which you think is in the wrong sub section would you please PM the person who uploaded it so that the person can decide if they can let you know if they agree with it. As I myself have over 300 uploads and don't have the time to check on every one to see if you moved it.:)

OK. I'll try to keep such movements to a minimum anyway - just where it seems glaringly out of place. Obviously there are plenty of borderline cases (especially between, say, medieval and Renaissance units) so I'll try to leave those alone.

My signature only applies 2 days from now, so I will be able to do Hikaro's units.

I've cut the list down from 185 unit makers still needing to be done to 106.

Done with Hikaro's units.

Thanks. Before you go offline if you could pick a couple guys from the in the first post and do them that would be great, if not thats fine. Just not the ones with stars on them. Those are the big guns. Doing a couple small guys would save me some time.

I'll do:

Warmaster
Yaniv
Yecos

Oh nos! My brother is now demanding to go play Runescape. So... I'll either do them later today, or tomorrow.

Thanks that'll take a chunk out of the workload.

I get my computer back tomorrow from repair so I can probably add a couple(~20-30) leaderheads/units from Civ Army s. 1994. Sorry I havent uploaded them, just busy. So...Im back in action tomorrow(not that anyone really cares, but I felt the need to annouce). :) :D

I care! I care! :D I took a look at his units today and he has quite a few, you doing those takes a chunk out of work that has to be done.

THanks, man... I would have added them myself, but I've been busy with making more units to do that.....

Thats what we're here for. :D Just remember to add those future units you making to the database.;)

As long as I have 150 files to upload(including the ones I have already uploaded), I'm fine with not uploading anything else. Though I will probably go all the way to 200 uploads. :)

By the way, I assume that you're PMing currently active members (such as Civ Army and Hikaro Takayama) to check that they don't mind you adding their files for them? I'm sure they wouldn't mind but no doubt they'd like to know.

I know I do can't speak for the rest. Usually when I PM someone about requesting them to add their units to the database or allowing us to do it I get nothing back....:sad:

You did me? But I did me already! :p

@ Plotinus:
recently , Thunderfall opened up a File Database, which is a huge library for Civ 2, 3, and 4. We need all the files of everyone in there, unfortunately, some members are inactive, so other people took the liberty of adding their units/maps/graphics/etc. , so, what I'm asking is, mind if I add your leaderheads + units? :)

Please, do that to me :)
BTW, my homepage shows any link of any creation mine to Civ3 and Civ4, u can use it to see all the necessary and correct links ;) Its address is http://www.geocities.com/Civ_Army_1994

thanks! :)
I have his permission. :salute: :rockon:

Good stuff. Don't worry, I don't want to check up on it all, but I thought I'd better mention it as it would be a bit discourteous to transfer someone's files without letting them know.

Yaniv has his PMs off. So I can't PM him.

Hehe... Finally overtaken Aaglo.

EDIT: done with Warmaster, Yecos, and Yaniv.

Oddly named movie.....

I'm adding my stuff myself ;)

If you've seen the film, you'd understand

It was about a bit retarded guy who mowed the lawns of people - and a guy was developing a computer-game do increase intelligence, and this lawnmower-guy became his guinea-pig (strangely named animal, since they are not from guinea, nor they are pigs). Eventually that guy uploaded himself to become completely digital... or something like that.

Luddi VII, I don't see why you've uploaded the DC-10 (a modern plane) on the "Other units" category. Looks pretty much "Modern Units" to me.

I was a bit unsure, but I can always change it. :)

... guinea-pig (strangely named animal, since they are not from guinea, nor they are pigs). ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_pig#Name

The animal's name carries connotations of it being a pig in many languages other than English; the German word for them is Meerschweinchen, literally "little sea pigs" (sailing ships stopping to reprovision in the New World would pick up stores of guinea pigs, which provided an easily transportable source of fresh meat), the Russian and Polish word for them (morskaya svinka (Морская свинка) and świnka morska respectively) is similar in meaning. The Welsh term is mochyn cwta ('little pig'), the French Cochon d'Inde (Indian pig); the Dutch used to call it guinees biggetje (Guinean piglet), and in Scandinavia they are called marsvin (a combination of the Latin word mare for ocean, and Norwegian/Swedish/Danish svin which means pig). In Greek they are called indika xoiridia (ινδικά χοιρίδια, Small Indian Pigs), and in Portuguese porquinho da Índia ("little pig of India"). In Italian the term is either Porcellino d'India (Little Indian Pig) or Cavia Peruviana (Peruvian Cavy). This is not universal; for example, the common Spanish word is conejillo de Indias (Indian bunny rabbit / Indies bunny).

The scientific name of a common species is Cavia porcellus, with porcellus being Latin for "little pig".

The origin of "guinea" in "guinea pig" is even harder to explain. According to the etymology of the entry for "guinea pig" in The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, the term guinea pig is "Perhaps [an] alteration (influenced by Guinea, used as a name for any faraway unknown country), of Guiana".[2] One theory is that the animals were brought to Europe by way of Guinea, leading people to think they had originated there. Another theory suggests that "Guinea" in the case of the guinea pig is a corruption of "Guiana", an area in South America. A common misconception is that they were so named because they were sold as the closest thing to a pig one could get for a guinea (an old British coin with a value of 21 shillings, or 1.05 GBP in modern decimal currency). However, evidence does not support this conjecture: for example, the Dutch name refers to the country of Guinea rather than the British coin, and the first guinea pig was described in 1554 by the Swiss naturalist Konrad Gesner more than a hundred years before the first guinea was struck.


BTW, it appears that Guinea Pigs can get scurvy. Aargh!

The wikipedia article doesn`t explain anything! Its still weird! We call it the "Little sea pigs" here too, but only officialy, they have another common name "Zamorac" which doesn`t really mean anything, except it has a familiar sound with the word "more" - sea. Cute little buggers :D

I wonder why they didn`t call them scury dogs then :hmm:

Sorry for the OT :mischief:

Marsvin in swedish? We call it marsu. There's not a trace of pigs in there :D

Ok, after having nice enough of a break, I've decided to do TheMorpheus's units.

Only 87 more unit makers to go!

I'll try to get maybe 10-20 leaderheads done tonight. I've just been having tough time management and now I'm paying for it. :(

Luddi VII you accidently put the a couple units into the civ4 section.

Heh, I read that as "Down with TheMorpheus", felt a bit hard on him. :)

I know that this thread is about putting units in the database, but I had a small question about adding my leaderheads. I put them all in multiple folders to save having to wait for ftp access. Since there's only one download link for each leaderhead in the database, I don't really want to have to combine all the folders, ask for ftp access, and reupload all the files. Should I just put the first file in the download link and put a link to the original thread, or is there a better method? Or should I combine them all into one folder and get the ftp access?:confused:

don't upload them, just link them :)

don't upload them, just link them :)

Yeah. If you already have a DL link then you don't need to reupload it all you need to do is link to it.

Should I just put the first file in the download link and put a link to the original thread, or is there a better method?

I would put the first file in the download link and provide links to the other files in the post itself. And I'd also provide a link to the original thread as well. But it's true that the system doesn't work enormously well for situations like this.

Thanks for the replies.:) I'll get going on those hopefully by tonight or tomorrow.

I have a question, if I want to help, do I have to do units, or can I add scenarios and modpacks to the File Database?

Definitely do scenarios and modpacks if you'd like. Everything needs to go up there eventually.

I'm going to start then.

I've included a thumbnail in all the leaderheads I've uploaded. Makes the leaderheads more user-friendly, in terms that they get a preview of what they are getting. :)

@marinecorps: I claimed myself a while ago. My units are already uploaded.

Still around? I've been around always since the day I joined! (except for the last week where I was on vacation, hence the late reply;))
