Status: offline 		We now have the ability for you guys to upload and download mod files from our OTS website (www.ontargetsimulations.com). It is a pretty simple system and it will only be taking Zip files for things. Currently there are 10 categories to use.

If you need something removed or renamed please PM or email me. Currently there are no limits on file number or size. If we run into issues we will set limits or even have log in.

Comments on the site are welcome. Enjoy and start uploading your mods!

Yes, its a zip, but the map itself is bigger.

Status: offline 		Just thinking that a campaign "pack" will include several maps which together will likely exceed the upload limit, meaning with campaigns and scenarios we'll need someway of telling people that when they download the scenario & campaign files that they will also need to download certain maps from 'maps-new' or 'maps-custom'.

Status: offline 		Tazak, the site is basically file storage. You can upload a file. There is no comment or description capability right now. I am still looking into it. The best thing is to post your pack info in the mods forum and show the links for the maps and scenarios from the OTS site. The idea was to give you a place so you do not need Dropbox or Mediafire to host your files.

We will try to get fancier as I learn more of this website building thing.

Ok, awesome tech support from Bluehost, we now have a 50mb limit on uploading maps and 10mb for everything else. If we hit a snag, I will adjust for it.


Any chance this limit can be lifted to 100MB for maps, 300MB for map graphics packs?

I've waiting on my hard drive to upload the following (file size, description):
- 58MB NTC Central Corridor map (fp9 + 2 skins, it is a huge map)
- 221MB "Winter" reskins of all 28 FCRS maps
- 220MB "Summer" reskins of all 28 FCRS maps
- 221MB "Inverted Summer reskins" of all 28 FCRS maps

The reskins are large, but despite containing more "detail" still smaller than the original map graphics, which are 260MB together. I did resort to 8bit per color channel to reduce file size, after running out of space on my web site.

Breaking down the reskins in the CA*, the CS* and the Red Storm* maps would be cumbersome / confusing to users seeking reskins, and still result in two out of three sets exceeding the 50MB.
I expect the combined set of Plodder's reskins also to exceed 50MB.

William

Status: offline 		William let me see what I can do for those. I'm guessing needing 300mb for maps-new, maps-custom, and maps-planning. May have to revisit the other amounts too.
UPDATE: Fixed! 300mb for all types of maps.
