I like the way this site sounds, and the beta looks nice. If the final product turns out well I might start releasing my .dats there (currently using Kilandor's). Looking forward to it being complete.

Re: New FFXI DAT Community website. COMMING SOON!

I'd really like to see a good feedback system implemented. This would only apply to members, since it would be hard to force anything on people who aren't members.

Something similar to what they've done at Anime Music Videos
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/home/home.php

Perhaps make it so that after you've downloaded something, you can give it a rating on a 1-10 scale. Make leaving a long response optional. I do know one of the more agrivating things I've experienced is getting little/no feedback on my dat files.

Thoughts?

Re: New FFXI DAT Community website. COMMING SOON!

well, depends on how you will show files to members. if you show the pic before downloading a straight 1-10 raiting may not work. But maybe a checklist of ratings showing how good the dat works. Like a list of things they can rate like "performance in-game" "texture quality" "lightign quality" things like that. I've seen several dats that looked nice in the picture... but the skin texture was offcolored, or had glitches that made it look funny if you used it as an incomplete set. Just an idea if you think it wouldn't be hard to implement, or if you'd want to spend the time hehe.

Re: New FFXI DAT Community website. COMMING SOON!

Well, you wouldn't be able to rate a file until after you downloaded it. Hopefully, people would have actually tried it out before rating it, to see how well it looks ingame and whatnot. Also like what you mentioned about the different catagories.

But, I have no experience making websites, so I wouldn't be able to help you do this. Maybe someone else around here could, lol.

Another possibility would be this. After you download a file, you're allowed to post a 'review' of the dat. Completely optional, you'd have to be a membe to leave a review of it. Anyone would be able to read the reviews of the dat, or maybe just the creater.... I dunno.

Here is a b3ta of one of the download pages and its comments row...

http://www.asreid.com/ffxidats/page.php?id=16

As you can see the review/comments are set out the same as alkazams website, so yes you will need to be logged in to submit a review but you will also be able to post images of you using the dat in game.

Also we have had to make it so you can download any Dat file without being logged in but can only download +18 once logged in :

This is so we dont restrict the under 18s or those without permission.

Site should be up and running soon as.
