"File Information" - suggestion

[matticus88]

Hi UKTS Admins, I have a suggestion which i think will improve the File information pages in the downloads library.

At the moment it goes like this;

Code: Select all

Description	:
Uploader	:	
File ID	:	
Version	:	
Download Count  :
Simulator	:
File Size	:
Operating Company	:
File Type	:
Gauge	:
Class	:
Country	:
3D Model Author	:
Skin Author   :
Cab Author  :
Sound Author  :

I think that there should be another addition to that list..

"Other Mods required :" This would be very useful for people so when a new route, scenario etc is uploaded, the person downloading will know what other mods are needed for the download to work.

Having this addition will cut down on the threads & posts that ask why something isn't working
such as my post HERE

Thank you for you time.

Hi
There is already an option to add related files , but its up to the uploader to do it.
Most tend to add sounds and cabfile links if uploading a loco.

ie

However this can be a quite extensive list for an activity.
Cheers

Matt has recently announced his intention to put the final touches to the UKTS2 version of the file system, which if I remember right will have the capability of including references to other items that need to be downloaded, and lots more useful features.

The new structure is based on five years of hosting downloads...so I'm sure he'll have everything accounted for.

Let's all cross fingers and hope he gets the time needed to complete the task.........
