Stan Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 This is for the download database only and are only the extensions for the files.Later we might review the uploads of the forum and the image extensions we allowRegards,Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I think .zip and EM3/EM4 mod files. These can be opened without having to download any other software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASTIAN Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 WinRAR is the mostly using archives, i think - includes zip and many more archive types - GO for Rar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 WinZip can open .rar files For me e3mod and e4mod is no unless it is really voted high, compressed takes less space and uses less bandwidth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forensics Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Winzip is the best one but WinRar is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Think we will go for .zip and .rar only to begin then. .pdf is currently on and I think this can stay on without problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I think .zip and EM3/EM4 mod files. These can be opened without having to download any other software. zip seems to get more and more rar by the day. RAR also offers better compression then ZIP, meaning faster download, and also has more options. WinZip can open .rar files For me e3mod and e4mod is no unless it is really voted high, compressed takes less space and uses less bandwidthThinking of it this way I agree, mod files shouldnt be allowed.

Stan Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I never said .rar is bad. We only removed the .rar extension 2 years ago after much member not even knowing how to unpack a .rar file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bart Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 May be obvious, but the office-extensions (doc, xls, docx, xlsx) also have to be accepted I think.Furthermore, good thinking to discuss this. On other forums, this often causes problems later on.On Zip/Rar => Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s5king Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I never said .rar is bad. We only removed the .rar extension 2 years ago after much member not even knowing how to unpack a .rar fileMaybe people will have a better idea now of how to unpack a .rar file. You could just include a download link for winrar.Also I regularly use winrar for .zip and .rar So I'll have either of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I like Rar, the only time WinRar let me down was on an insanely huge file, unless you're talking Gigabytes in size, which if you are you really need to shrink your mod Winrar works=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 May be obvious, but the office-extensions (doc, xls, docx, xlsx) also have to be accepted I think.Definitely not... they will have to zip or rar the files in that case. Several reasons for my point:- How often will someone upload one of those files? Like never- Security? Is a security risk for me, even though not very high- Confusing? yes it is... when I need to do management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tian318 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 i pick .rar.zip.e3m.e4m.rar and .zip cause of the wide spread use.but also .e3m and .e4m files.cause believe it or not. some people still find .zip and .rar files confusing.

Guest Francis Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 In my opinion, the best would be to allow .RAR and .ZIP files, as they are compressed and will end up taking less space. Of course PDF is a good idea to be kept there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Francis Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I also don't like how you can't download multiple files at the same time from the Download Center. I prefer that, like such, we lose a lot less bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
