  1. I've been thinking lately (Yes, it hurt to do so :() of ways to encourage more interaction from the community, if you could take a few moments to read below and vote, I'd appreciate it :)

     

    Contests

    I realize that contests have been done to death on other JK related websites, however they usually always provide something new. SO I'd like to propose doing a contest once every 3 months.

     

    January - Winter Contest

    April - Spring Contest

    July - Summer Contest

    October - Autumn Contest

     
    These can be given fancy seasonal names, I'm sure if this is well received we'll get some good suggestions :P
     
    These would be based on specific yet simple things such as e.g.
    • Reskin the Saboteur model (The user would be asked to include a specific texture somewhere as well as a shader, a guide will be written to go along with the contest)
    • Create a map of a specific size (We could provide a .map file that is simply an empty box the size of a room that needs filling to your own desire... would produce a lot of different variations and spark creativity :)
    • Model a hilt (Might be a bit advanced, but hopefully someone can create a clear and easy to follow video tutorial to go with it)
    It would be different every time and would try to encourage creativity, rather than just being asked to "make a map" without any resources. The aim is that the user learns something new and/or submits some new content to  JKHub for the community.
     
    But, what do we get for winning?
    This leads on to my next idea which I shared with the staff last week... which issss
     
    Awards System
    One way to reward people for their contributions could be to give out awards for certain things. We could use the following addon to our site:
     
    Awards could include
    • First tutorial
    • 10 Tutorials (Submitting 10 tutorials)
    • First file
    • 10 Files (Submitting 10 files)
    • Recognized JK Contributor (Could be made a thing, where people vote once a month for someone to be given the award perhaps)
    • Wiki contributor (25-50 Articles/Pages)
    • Staff/Former Staff
    • Donor (For those who donate 5 dollars or more perhaps)

    And so on.

     

    Tutorial Submission Days

    Much like the contests, we could have a day where we encourage people to write at least one tutorial on a subject they know about JK/JK modding. This would be pre-planned and less organized than contests in terms of specific days. I would suggest doing it rarely to avoid it becoming a thing to avoid rather than a challenge.

     

    If only 10 people wrote one tutorial, it'd be a huge contribution in a very short time... even one tutorial is great. Giving tutorials more focus is definitely a good thing I'd say.

     

    Mod Specific Tutorials

    What do you guys think about adding a new category to the tutorials area called Mod Specific? This could contain tutorials that only apply to certain modifications e.g. OpenJK, JA++, JA+, jaMME, Pugmod etc

     

    Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on these ideas, by all means tear them apart and/or suggest alternatives :)

  2. Posted this in the Staff Area a couple of weeks ago, would love to hear other opinions :)

    So whilst speaking to Circa a couple of days ago I had the idea that perhaps we could make some sort of music album from groups/players across the community.

     

    The idea is simple, we gather interest from people who play certain instruments, sing and/or compose by advertising on well known communities around JK, then make them come together to work on some songs which we could sell and give to charity  :)

     

    Obviously the logistics of this are a bit fuzzy, I've never done anything like this and I am not musically gifted as e.g. Circa is  :P but I believe we could get something really cool put together if we tried hard, and hopefully raise some decent cash for a charity/charities.

     

    Jobs that come to mind are:

    • Musicians/Vocalists
    • Writers/Composers
    • Album art designers (Mine is just to spark imagination  :P I'm sure others could come up with something better, we could hold contests maybe?)
    • Advertisers
    • A few project managers to ensure everyone is working

    I'd love to hear what others think  :)

  3. I'd just like to say, this is the first time I've heard of this mod and it's something I've been hoping to come along for a good 5-6 years now at least... this will make filming JKA videos a breeze @_@

     

    I just looked at some of your images, can you modify a players appearance like you seem to be suggesting? (You've probably written that somewhere, so sorry for asking :P)

     

    The blur on that video... good lord @_@

    I plan on making Kyle Katarns Alternate Dimension Part 3 pretty soon and would love to use your mod. Is it currently all cvar based or will you have fancy menus in the future for some of this stuff?

  4. I find this slightly hypocritical. :)

     

    For example, if you uploaded an image that belongs to someone else, JKHub would not know of this and wouldn't take action. We can't verify every file that is submitted to us and would only act if the file had obvious illegally ported content or if the original owner of that content contacted us and made a case that some/all of the files in the mod are his. We do check files to see if they contain anything against our rules, but there's always a chance that something will slip through, especially content that isn't the authors.

  5. We're trying to organize a little staff meeting before we go any further, this should hopefully be done by tomorrow afternoon :P

     

    I realize you have made a lot of points over the past 8 pages Eez, is it possible you could sum up your proposed changes that you've been referring to in bullet point form so we can discuss it easier. If any one else wishes to do the same then by all means go for it :)

  6. We'd much prefer authors to submit their work on their own so that we're not ripping from JKFiles. We've contacted hundreds of authors and told them about our website, and the majority of those people have submitted their work already. 

     

    We might not have more files than JKFiles right now, but I'd say we have a better selection quality wise. We also have a lot of files exclusive to JKHub, especially player models :) feel free to check them out. If you'd like another authors files on this website then I suggest emailing them and encouraging them to do so. You could even upload their work for them BUT we have strict guidelines on doing this so it's fair for authors. You can find them here:

  7. well right, he wants to implement a flagging system. I have nothing against that, it's an alright idea. I'm just wondering if he considers ported models differently than ported sounds.

     

    Nope, that's why I kept trying to say "illegal ported content" rather than "ported models" :P if we receive a complaint against a file, and it has evidence backing it then it should be taken down. We can't be expected to examine every inch of a file to see if it contains illegal content, but we always try our best.
