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 just opened recently 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 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 and request it.

Heres what been done

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

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.
 
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...

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.

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.

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....

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

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

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

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)

Good. Only 2000 more units to go!:D

Why can't you access them?

Links are to some other random place that's not CFC, and is offline.
 
 
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.
 
 
Done with The Great Apple's Units.

On to Chris85!
