Canofbacon Posted June 28, 2013 Okay so I released my new WAD and for some reason it isn't showing up in the Latest files section at the bottom of the /idgames page. Can't they show more than 10 WADs in that section? What if someone released a really good WAD but it never got discovered because of it not showing up in the Latest Files section. 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted June 28, 2013 I've noticed that a few times. I remember Jack101 released a decent wad called Unhinged and it got knocked off the page by some retarded trollwads. There's a lesson in that somewhere. :-/ 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted June 28, 2013 the real latest files section is here: ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/games/idgames/newstuff/ 0 Share this post Link to post
hex11 Posted June 29, 2013 Check the server's REJECTS.TXT file, just in case... 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted June 29, 2013 Bloodshedder, wanna do a bunch of work for some reason and make the /idgames front page show a list of wads uploaded over the last 30 days, instead of a limit of 10? 0 Share this post Link to post

Then, they're sorted into /newstuff for a one-off review, and then my efforts are never seen again. *sigh* 0 Share this post Link to post

The reason is that so everybody has a chance to get their WAD seen, and it doesn't have to be a list of WADs from the last 30 days. Just list the WADs that were uploaded that week and take off the ones from the previous week. 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted June 29, 2013 If your wad's in damnmidi.zip, magnet.zip or TLABS.zip (which are currently sitting in /incoming), it's not going to show amongst the Latest Files until after it's been checked and moved to /newstuff. 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted June 29, 2013 It would help if you actually bothered to say what the name of your file is. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted June 29, 2013 The Doomworld idgames database updates slowly, and when it does, there are more new entries than can fit in the "Latest Files" list >:| This results in your upload passing unnoticed until the newstuff chronicles that happen months later… 0 Share this post Link to post

I would think that http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/ would be a more popular site for downloading the newest files. Of course I may not be right. fraggle said:It would help if you actually bothered to say what the name of your file is. locknl2.wad 0 Share this post Link to post

Hmm, none of those 3 are in either incoming, newstuff or REJECTS (as of this post). Unless they had a filename change. 0 Share this post Link to post

Of course I may not be right.The very site you mention says that you are not right:http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/ said: If you're looking for /newstuff or /incoming, this is not the place! To upload files to /idgames you will want to use an FTP client to connect to archives.gamers.org (learn more), and for the latest in /newstuff you should mosey on over to ftp.fu-berlin.de or one of its mirrors.Personally, I always go to the archive itself to see the latest files. It's easy to browse the .txt files to see what might be of interest. Anyway, I see that a "more" link has been added on the main http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/ page, so presumably this should keep everyone happy. 0 Share this post Link to post
betabox Posted June 29, 2013 Grazza said:You can't be looking in the right place I did. When I looked a few hours ago, /incoming was empty entirely, so I assumed it was all moved to /newstuff or rejected. But now they're there. Could be a temporary issue. EDIT: NVM, I see what you mean, I didn't pay attention to the damn URL. 0 Share this post Link to post

fraggle Posted June 29, 2013 Canofbacon said:locknl2.wad It's in /newstuff now. After you upload, there's a delay while the archive maintainer (Ty Halderman) looks at your submission and puts it in the appropriate place. If your submission is accepted, there's then a further delay before Doomworld's idgames interface catches up with the archive. I think it should be no more than a week. 0 Share this post Link to post
