File database helpers thread

: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
 
Done with Dom Pedro.

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). :)
 
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?

I randomly tested 5 units and it worked fine.

That's all you did?

I spent time to make it all nice and everything...

DLing the units, the pics, and then copying and pasting the descriptions provided in the thread (or making them up), and then pasting the file size as well as uploading the picture...

Same here. All the leaderheads I have uploaded so far have a picture, which is the one of the specific civ leaderhead. :)

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.

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.
 
Isn't MarineCorps already doing/done them?

EDIT: X-post.
