Heres an idea to save us some time...

I know from downloading several of your excellent campaigns that some are made for Frozen Throne, and some are made for Reign of Chaos.

However, i do not have Frozen Throne and everything i download that is made for just comes up as a messed up file.

So, i suggest, to save people some time, that each campaign or map should list if it requires Frozen Throne to watch/use it.

Thats actually a really good idea. And I can't imagine it would be that hard, unless you scripted the download/upload engine really sloppily.

Good idea!

It's a good idea!
Uh, why didn't my first post show up? Ah, forget about it...

lol, its actually harder then ude think, unless the user uploadign the map is given an option sutch as

tft map? y / n

while uploading. doing that would take about 10 minuts.

I didn't even know it wasn't there - it really should be, a little effort to prevent frustration.
Even then, though, you're not a serious WC3 player unless you have TFT. It adds so much to the game it's expected you have it by many.

I can write PHP, and although coding an upload engine in pretty difficult, unless they wrote the engine here very sloppily (which I very much doubt considering the skill of the technical directors), it wouldn't be that hard to detect if the uploaded file had the extension .w3x or .w3m.

$ft = strpos($filename, 'w3x') === FALSE ? FALSE : TRUE;

All you need.

ah i never thoght of that. good idea. thated work. i frogeot they got difrent extensions :P

that's a good idea. saves people from downloading and screwing up stuff, and lets them see the awesome maps.
