Mod Play - More Than a Mod Sharing Website!

Forums Are Up! (confirming against scratch servers is up as well!)
Link: mod-play.tk/forums
Note: we need CSS designers and logo designers! Get paid in Mod Money for how much you do!


Alright, I've been working on this recently, but it still isn't finished, so I'd like some new members to join the dev team.

Mod Play is similar to Mod Share in that it will be a website for sharing projects from mods.

A Few Differences, though
• Code behind website  (I think I'll call it PlayR) will be open-source (not including database passwords and the such) with an easy install script (unlike ScratchR)

• Custom Java players for each mod

• Easier Integration of automatic uploading via mods (HTTP POST to a certain website page)

• API for determining rank and password confirmation of each user

• MyBB rather than FluxBB/PunBB, which means custom BBCode and other stuff

• Possible a wiki.

• larger upload sizes

• HTML5/CSS3 (for main site; forums use XHTML)

Now for positions needed:
1-2 Mod Play team member (Admins), will help with site coding
1-2 Moderators
1-2 Junior Moderators
1-6 Java Player programmers
1-Infinity users  tongue

Mods currently slated to be added (with player progress in parentheses)

Panther (initial player development halted)
Bingo (denied by owner, see here)
JTiger (player will be built in)
BYOB (planning)
Kitcat (planning)
Ghost (planning)
Insanity (planning)
Blizzard (planning)
NetScratch (planning)

more to be added soon

current Devs/Mods:

Admins
SJRCS_011
GP1

Moderators

Junior Moderators

Java Player Programmers
TheSuccessor, Panther (inactive)

if you would like to join any position or find out the url of the site (in progress, only forum will be up), pm me on Mod Central or this site
To be an admin/mod/jun. mod, you must be a scratcher, no questions asked
Most likely mods/junior mods will be elected, while admins are appointed

Re: Mod Play - More Than a Mod Sharing Website!

The code for Mod Share is not adaptable unfortunately.

You can also add custom BBCode to FluxBB, it just involves editing the files (look at what I put on Mod Share).

Re: Mod Play - More Than a Mod Sharing Website!

On Mod Share, we don't want users knowing how the site is structured, and the code is very specific to the server.

And, when I tried adding my own header to MyBB, it took me all morning just to fail. In FluxBB, it took me 10 minutes and it worked fine.\

Re: Mod Play - More Than a Mod Sharing Website!

I could be an Admin. I am an expert at web site background scripts (php, to be exact), and I could put challenges for this on the Macrobit Developer Program. And i know how to make a php file upload directly to the server (I'm only successful with GET requests so far, I don't know how to make a POST request in Squeak). Its really simple.

Re: Mod Play - More Than a Mod Sharing Website!

GP1, I'll make you an admin, and bobbybee, you can help with coding if you'd like since i trust you both

I'll set up FTP accounts for both of you, so could you tell me a website I can contact you both on?

You can just send me an email to my non personal email: contact@macrobit.x11s.info
Let me know when you send it.

One of the reasons it doesn't exist for Mod Share is that "Mod ShareR" would be a bad name.

Ummmm, you gave me an FTP username and host, but you forgot to give me a password.
And what do I work on first? Do you want it exactly like the Scratch website, with changes? Do you want to register users or have them sign in with their Scratch username, and if they aren't in the database, it registers it?
