rray.de/xsi volunteers
Hi
I'm planing to make all rray.de local backups drag and droppable (like I did with the first few in the last update)
If you have a few free minutes some day, you could help me by editing this google doc. Warning : really tedious work (but wait for the meditative effect setting in after 4 hours ;) )
(edit instruction are inside the doc etc...)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Og ... sp=sharing
(part of 1 of 2, I’ll upload part 2 later when this is finished)
btw google docs has versioning so no worries about breaking anything!
Thanks!!

Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
It's a great endeavour and I'll try to help when I have some time (not for two weeks though unfortunately) however, a word of warning. You can be sure that there is an a**hole out there right now who has taken all the urls from that google doc and is downloading the entire collection. %100 sure - because the internet is full of a**holes.
Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
Thanks for the offer and the warning, Dan.
I'm having a traffic warning email set up, some leeching is covered but in an "emergency" when getting that mail I could take the thumbnails down for the rest of the month (Which cause 90% of the traffic).

Great Incentive ;)
Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
Hey Jentzen, thanks a lot for the offer to help. I'm a out of ideas, the only TODOs I can think of right now might be the most annoying jobs ever (the ones I kept avoiding to spend a lot of time on):
There's an update coming quite soon, I'll post direct links to the new html files here then, along with some info on how they would be edited. I'd use WinMerge to spot any edits in files uploaded back.
(btw the google doc is way outdated by now)
- local backups: Since sometime last year I'm using links to xsiaddons/compounds instead of the old "local backup" zips. Those links show the "might be outdated, visit author site" info hovering and can be dragged from a netview directly to the ice tree/render tree/application. For most of the plugins this involved unzipping/bundling scripts into xsiaddons. This is about 50% done.
- tag checking: plugin assigned the right tags? any new tags required? Probably like 2-5% have some kind of errors that might prevent s.o. from finding them.

Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
Would it be possible to open up your database to Google Search (or something similar) as your internal search is rather slow? ;)
I'd be willing to try and help implement this, if I can, BTW.

Stay safe, sane & healthy!
Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
What are rray.de's "local backups"?
Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
I love the list, the better tags are for... plugin/addon/script categories? Like "render" "modeling" "ice" "hair" "rigging" categories to help facilitate things? (tags with quick link buttons to those tags?)
Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
@HB: The whole site is just one html page with two text files being appended on demand (scrolling/searching). IIRC Google returns only one result per page. If you have an idea how to make show each plugin with the given keyword, I'd gladly implement that. Just note that my cheap-o website package doesn't support any server side execution.
Alternative would be to speed up the javascript search, if you/sb. else is interested in looking into that, those scripts are all inside the main index.html.
@grendizer: it's something like a cache, a backup that can be used when the actual site is down. I tried to find a compromise between practicablity of use and not keeping surfers away the author pages.
@Drais: Do you mean having all tags directly on the main page for simple filtering? this could be done, but I would like to run a check through all the tagging first.

Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
I also really like the idea of all tags accessible from the top as filterable links.
Cool, Just let me know what I can do. No job to shitty.
I sent you my email in a private message on this site.

Re: rray.de/xsi volunteers
Yes! Quick access to the tags right up top with subsequent tag filtered results is exactly what I was referring to. =)
