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 allow

I think .zip and EM3/EM4 mod files. These can be opened without having to download any other software. :)

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

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

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.

Thinking of it this way I agree, mod files shouldnt be allowed.

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 => :stupid2:

Maybe 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 :)

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 :1046275767_ugly: Winrar works=)

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

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.

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. :)

Winrar, PDF, E3M/E4M. LOL it's hot pink/fuscia.

Maybe put a link to winrar in an announcement inside the downloads section?
