Since it's not possible to add files to the existing regular File Database and a new one is not yet ready for use (shouldn't be too long anymore though), I created a temporary database. You can find it at http://apolyton.net/~ctp2files/.
If you have any files for the database (whether it is a 10k large mod that renames Spearman to Hoplite or a supermod like Cradle with all the graphics and videos and everything included), email me with the file itself or a link where I can download it (esp. for big files this latter technique might be wise). Alternatively you can post the necessary info in this thread. I know about a lot of stuff out there but I still want everyone to explicitly email me/post here: I don't want to have to hunt the whole Internet for files, I need your permission anyway, I'm certain to forget a mod or two if I am to contact you guys and noone knows better what mods you've made than you. So even if your mod happens to be the most important one in CtP2's history and it goes without saying that it should be in the database, email me/post here anyway. Same rules apply as mentioned on the database page, with some minor changes, I'll repost them here:
The info I need is:
- If it's a CtP1 or CtP2 file (or both)
- Title of mod
- Synopsis
- Contact name/handle (whichever you prefer)
- Contact email (if different from the one you're sending from)
- Category (see here for list)
- Version (if applicable)
- The file(s) for the database itself or a link to it/them
- Description (longer than synopsis, see existing database entries for examples)
- A forum thread URL where people can give feedback/report problems/etc (if applicable)
Note: don't use the form in the link I provided, it won't work. Email/PM/ICQ me or post in this thread instead.
Important notes
This database is open for everybody, that means that all files mailed to the database manager will be included regardless of their author, quality or content. However, the following rules apply:
* Files will not be included if the DB manager has the impression that the sender of the files is not the author and tries to get files listed under his name without the expressed approval of the author.
* The DB team will not do any playtesting of submitted files. If you need playtesters go to the CTP2 forums.
* Only finished files will be processed. If you consider your scenario a beta version which will be updated soon, please wait until playtesting is finished. You can send updated versions of existing files, but a certain period of time should have passed between updates. Note: the meaning of 'beta' over time has come to mean something slightly different from the industry standard; this rule basically means: don't send updates every other day (and make sure the files are not too buggy). Whether you call your file a beta or a low-quality release version is a matter of semantics.
* The DB team will not search any webpages for updates of existing files. Please re-submit the file if you have an update. Note: this rule is slightly different from the one mentioned in the database section.
* Submitted files will usually be processed and entered in the DB within 4 weeks. Please do not send e-mails asking when your file will show up. We will not answer such mails. Note: since the database is currently not fully operational, there's no telling how long it takes before your file is actually added to the database. However, I'll write some HTML pages or a forum thread from which the files can be accessed until then. At this point I can't give any guarantees in regard to time but I'll confirm your email if I receive it, if you've received confirmation you can be sure your file will be placed on the Apolyton server and (eventually) in the database.
* If your zip file is larger than 1 MB, please put the sound files into a separate zip file (aka secondary file). Note: scratch this rule. There are some mods out there that are 10-20 MB large so this won't help much. Try to put everything in files of at most 4-5MB large, or use some other sensible way to split things up (if you haven't done so already). I think Markos and I will need to discuss what to do with those really big mods when the new database is fully operational again. We'll first need to have an inventory of what is out there anyway, even I don't know exactly how large most mods are (I have cable so I never pay attention to it).
Attention Third-Party file senders: Please include with your submission and in your attached documentation the name and e-mail address of the author of the CTP2 file, so we can contact them to ensure that no future complications arise about the posting of the file(s). Thank you for you understanding in this matter.

I'm aware of that Martin, I haven't forgotten about this. I'm still working on it, more or les... The problem is that the headers and footers that I'm stuck with are apparently auto-generated by Frontpage or some similar sh*tty program and it's stuffed with bugs (stupid M$, always inventing their own standards, ignoring W3C  ), I can't run a HTML verifivier over it, it gives all sorts of crap. Heck, for all I know the problem is in the header/footer... |
This is a real problem with this M$ stuff, they gave it to regardless if you wanted it or not. I used the Netscape Composer of Netscape 4.5. To build my little homepage, but I must admit that this program may be a little bit to old for your purposes. So the only way to is what we all did with the CTP2 text files modifying them per hand, but unfortunatly not the best sollution either, as it is very time consumpting.

I have to apologize to Markos, the error was not in his headers but in my own code, Markos pointed it out to me a few minutes ago (so he *does* read these forums, as we had no doubt all started to suspect 
). I will fix the code tonight and hopefully even old Netscape users will then be able to use the temp DB...
Well, don't him I give you that idea
