Level & Image Hosting (Free, Unlimited, Direct Downloads)

Hey,

I am starting a website where you can upload an unlimited amount of Half-Life files and pictures including levels, screenshots, fan art, MODs and HTML pages (for example, uploading 2 maps with screenshots then uploading a HTML page with links to them and a description).

The only problem is, I have the site and the server, but I dont have the scripts I need to run it.

So heres my plea, I need someone whos good with PHP or Perl to create for me a script that lets users upload files.

I know there are free programs out there but they are either A. Crap, B. To slow, C. Have upload limits for the free version, D. Have no loading bars or E. Only let you upload to one folder (I need lots for different files).

If there is anyone who can do PHP and has a grudge against Planet Half-Life then help me with this and I will let anyone upload their levels, MODs, screenshots etc. to my site for free, you can even link directly to them (www.halflifestorage.com/levels/yourlevel.zip), theres no limits, no wait times, no adverts and no download speed limitations.

If anyone wants to know why I am doing this its becouse I HATE File Planet, charging money or giving you limits and making you go through several screens and adverts just to get a Half-Life file that you can probably already find someware else.

So I am offering a better service for free, as long as I can find someone to make me the script.

I'm afraid I cant help you, but this service sounds too good to be true. Are you sure you can afford the bandwidth?

Yes I am sure, I own a company and we spend a lot of money into services like this, I am thinking of offering free domain names and hosting to those of you who have really good half life websites but cant afford to host it, but I want to get this up first. I am hoping to overtake File Planets pay service and have the same content, or even more content, for free.

you'd need each user to have his own folder , because if not there will be duplicate files overwriting themselves...

If the script isn't clean expect people , to upload movies .. and all sorts of crap with the file name like

Final_Fantasy.avi.bsp XP

alas , my php knowledge is pitiful , but it's difficult to do with decent protection without infringing the rights of all the others on the site...

Lol yeah, I was thinking that if a file exists you cant name it that, I dont want to have users I want it to be for anyone to upload.

Maybe make a folder per ip?

Nope, some people have dynamic IPs, I have a random one since I am with AOL.

You could do what imageshack does, add a few random letters/numbers to the filename so there cant be any files with the same name (i have no idea how to do this though:))

Good idea, each file could be different, or mabey they start at 00001 and the next map is 00002 and so on. But I need a scripter to help me.

I could maybe help you out if you're still looking for it. Have pretty good experience with PHP.

If you have a MySQL DB backend I can certainly help, as that's what I have the most experience with.

IM me sometime (my contact info should be public here) and we'll figure something out.

---

Shameless plug.

Just my thinking mind you so..

Haze, your beginning here at Snarkpit was so noisome that I actually had to put you on my block list for PM's. Since then, you haven't been quite as much trouble but, it takes a lot to annoy me enough to even get on that list. You were on it rather quickly.

I like your idea but have reservations about your sincerity. Even if you are serious now, you might not be soon/later and a lot of peoples valuables might pay the price for your..... actions.

I suggest you prove to everyone that you are dedicated enough to have OUR TRUST.

I value my friends here. I am only looking out for them.

/2 cents.

The best things in life, aren't things.

You are not very polite to people here Orpheus, in fact your very mean to a lot of people. Why will you never be nice for a change?

Also, you do not even run a company, so how can you tell me how things should be?

What do I have to do to proove it to you? When will you be satisfied with my services? I have lots of clients already who are happy with my services, I already have a huge client database of people who want to play my MMORPG.

If all you can do all day is shout at people for not remembering that you have a 56Kb modem and have to change their screenshots becouse your to slow to see them, shout at me when im trying to do a good service for the people here at Snark Pit and just make mean comments to everyone then I do not know why you are even still here?

You steal a name from a movie, start changing the site becouse YOU dont like it, then think everyone likes you when in fact we all despise you.

You should be making it up to me, not the other way around. If you have nothing constructive to say and you cant be polite then dont bother speaking at all.

Ermm... I really don't know the history of this argument and don't really want to get involved/flamed, but all I'll say is that Orph is pretty respected around here - let's just say he has experience of the Pit. :smile: Also, a surprisingly large number of people are on 56k - just under half in the UK atm I think, so size does matter a bit...

Anyways, other than that, I really like the sound of this. I'm afraid my PHP, MySQL and HMTL skills are very limited, so I can't help much, but best of luck with it.

---

My site

I have spoken to a lot of people who say hes not respected and they just put up with him becouse he has been here the longest.

The website will be up soon, I have some scripters.

Hell, what do I know. Never mind. Like I say, best of luck.

---

My site

Well, your powers of observation are phenomenal to say the least Haze. Since you obviously gleaned so much about me, in such a surprisingly short time.

I would rather this thread not degrade further by you talking to much s**t you know nothing about so I will bid you good luck and I advise that no one here use your services.

I'd really not turn this into a "How freaking great is Orph anyways" thread. :rolleyes:

Those who trust my judgment, avoid this proposed site, or at least make backup's of everything as I smell another Octagon.

---

The best things in life, aren't things.

He may have stolen his name from a movie, but yours is from a porn star.

Orphy, nobody likes you, get a life.

And as for your french toast, you can talk about having gay names, your just as hated as Orph.

My service is better than anything you could come up with, your not even logical, my service shouldnt be governed on how much you hate me.

Oh and dont blame me when everyones getting their site and screenshots hosted when your left behind and have to put up with File Planet.

<span style="color: white;">im glad someone stood up to YOU orpheus, nobody likes you, we just put up with you becouse you are an oldbie and quit talking s**t behave! be nice !

whats a french toaster?some one who wants to get toasted in flaming?

Haze, Orpheus is one of the best members here in my opinion. He has contributed to this site considerably, with his map critiques, tutorials and constant reminders for us all to keep image filesizes down. You have contributed little in your short stay here, and attacked two agreeable forum members in one post with little reason.

Poisonic, in over 6 months youve made a total of 13 posts (and no other contributions to the site). Try to avoid making a fool of yourself by attacking established members without a good reason.

"If you talk at all during this lesson, you have detention. Do you understand?"

• My yr11 Economics teacher

Forward: I was not aware of any problems either. But I will say that orph is a respected elder here at this site

orph - I think you were a bit harsh here, hes trying to do something
noble by providing disk space to people without places to upload stuff
(eg: me!). From what I understand you just don't trust him? People
change and deserve a second chance.

Haze - There is no need to call a member stupid here (especially
someone who has proabably been here longer than you even knew abotu
Half Life). Orph was merely voicing his opinion about you. I assume you
have changed since then, so you deserve a second chance. But your
blowing it by calling his name "stupid", and saying none likes him, because thats not the case.

poisonic - I don't know if you were quoting anyone, and your post was
merely something that someone else said (I apoligize if thats the case). So im assuming its yours, so
ill have to say that you have no right commenting on this topic because
you have no idea of the relationsships here at the pit (I mean you have
a grand TOTAL of 13 posts).

Posting And You

im not the usual forum user that whatches and repleys in stead of posting im mapping its quite time consuming i dont have even the time to post......... so thats why i only have "14" posts........

and my mapping project is a secret........ a map that will suprise U all it takes allot of time so i spend more time in mapping texturing modelling..... thats more usefull than talking abouth modding.....

and you should ask your self who actualy visits the most of you all......

i visit this forum allot......... posts dont mean anything<br style="color: white;">

im logged in at least 4 hrs a day on this forum......

to Watch posts, and yes i'm even helping people some times.

Yes guys, it was a bit harsh but... Notice how it went downhill so rapidly?

I only voiced a concern. I did NOT cast a shadow of doom over the idea in general as its a fine and noble task indeed.

I am however a bit concerned because of the direction it went. Yes, I could have remained silent but, I deemed it prudent to not do so.

I actually feel somewhat vindicated because up till now, it was all via the PM's.

I kept quiet about that adventure so, I do have scruples.

Anyway... Onward yo.

The best things in life, aren't things.

And as for your french toast, you can talk about having gay names, your just as hated as Orph.

I'm really worried about my rep. Way to hit me where it hurts.

and my mapping project is a secret........

Ohh... I'm on the edge of my seat!

im a type of person that likes to put allot of time in mapping......... im a critic person that NEVER release a MAP until its 100% checked and bug free and fully finished.
100% Custom tex 100% own models 100% snd fx..... 100% in SPACE a stunning 3d sky box that will blow your mind no not just a Lazy atempt like a normal skybox texture....... you will actualy have the feeling being in SPACE ....... Usable SPACE vehicles etc....... but im not atending to publish any thing until its finished..... And you will actualy fall from your seat.......

Enough said about project X

I just dont like it when people start to NITPIC....... Good ideas need a warm welcome ...... not digging up things from the past lets keep things fun..........

yes a bit strange post yes...... some spelling errors....k rel
A little repley on the last lines.....

To orpheus....... i dont know what happened between you and haze exactly ...... but in a serious topic there's no place <span style="color: white;">for bitching on things from the past......

Its not fair to stab a person in the back in public while he's posting about a NEW idea!
if you got a problem with haze PM him ........ and keep this forum free from

Poisonic, there's no point trying to construct sensible (cough)
arguments now. You've already laid down your position before by saying
"Nobody likes you". If your idea of usefulness is popularity then you
still have a whole lotta stuff to learn about the pit.

<span style="color: white;">

cough

Its posts like yours that lead to BS.

To blaintily come out of no where and just say that no one likes you is complete and utter BS.

If you were involved in the community like you say you were, then you
should hold an ammount of respect for elders, like orph. Come back and
voice your opinion when you have established an amount of involvement
in this communuty.

And im not talking about JUST reading forums.

Posting And You

/me puts on hat of humility.

I think they get the message guys. If the site succeeds or fails, it won't be my doing.

Lets leave'em be.... Unless of course they won't let it. :heee:

---

The best things in life, aren't things.

I haven't read through much of this thread but there is some obvious tensiona and I want to point something out here that's bugging me. This Haze fellow says that he owns a company named Encore Games. Yet the link to that website is broken andthe only encore games that exists is Encore Software in the US that makes those annoying casino games. Also if he is supposdly a level designer for a proffesional company I would expect much better work from him than what he is currently showing off (note this is not a direct attack against his mapping skills). Also he doesn't seem to be very knowledgable in the areas to which you are all discussing.

So my point is that this guy doesn't seem very legit. A website that will host all you files for free sounds too good to be true. I'm sure there is probably other sites like this but hosting files for people can cost a lot of money. Money which I don't believe Haze has.

So basically I'm calling him a liar, to put it bluntely. Which would make this thread even more stupid and pointless.

P.S> Still can't see my own words.

Yeah, that profile is VERY old, my company is called Frozen Wolf, you can find it at www.frozenwolf.com or our online store at www.frozenwolf.co.uk, you can also find my online game at www.kyrule.com / www.kyruleonline.com and my personal website at www.hazesdomain.com or my Deathmatch server at haze.gameservernetwork.com, I would have a domain name for it but if I use the sub domain I get to use unlimited bandwidth as long as its server related. The storage site will be www.halflifestorage.com.

Anyway, first I want to say I am sorry to Orph, its a long story, but I have mood changes and I am on medication for it, I forgot to take my medication that night and as a resault I get very angry to the slightest thing.

Second, yes my website is for real and it is already under construction.

One last thing, Poisonic is really creating a really interesting MOD, I cant tell you much about it but he has invited me to play a test level and shown me some screenshots and its looking very good.

EDIT: One last thing, my company registration number is 5674589 and its registered as Frozen Wolf Limited.

but I have mood changes and I am on medication for it, I forgot to take
my medication that night and as a resault I get very angry to the
slightest thing.

I hate when people keep making excuses for why they said what they
said. If you regret saying something, just admit it. Don't
say, oh I was tired, I was drunk, I'm on meds.

Mood changes huh sounds kindoff familiar :smile: and i dont take medication for it :razz: AKA ADHD

and respect for elders huh how old do you think i am then ?<html><head><link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/standard.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>

and respect for elders huh how old do you think i am then ?

I'm not sure what your point is here, but if you're a young guy, then
you should respect your elders. I respect Orph and other wiser
members here, and if you're an older guy, one would expect you to be a
little more mature.

So you call yourself ELDERS huh i'm twice your age ........ about acting mature STOP fights against people i know.....

to my opinion there's notting wrong with HAZE..... he's one of my beta tester's in my project for over a year now and he never caused any trouble at al.......

abouth MOOD CHANGES: people who have this do not have any bariers in what they say NO brakes ......... you should respect those people to Omelet Du Fromage Toaster :smile: ....... orpheus why are you digging up old stories? dont u have anything useful to say than complayning?.......

im not scared for any reputation at all......

AND PLEASE USE THIS TOPIC TO REPLEY ON THE SUBJECT NOT THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS TOPIC!t" href="themes/standard.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>

Dude, you spell like a child. Not a foreign child, just a child so please try not to talk as if you are my peer. :rolleyes:

Secondly, I only hinted as to my troubles with Haze. He is the one who brought them to light within the public forum. I have had trouble with him ages ago and you knew naught about it.

As far as I am concerned, stick your advice where its all dark on your backside.

The best things in life, aren't things.

@poisonic

You sound like me a few years back. I got this huge idea I thought was so cool that everyone would play it. In the interests of helping you to avoid a fall, it's not going to be as cool as you think.

Community support is important, the rest of us out here have a good idea of what we're doing. We can lead a massive hand in both the design, and the look of your project. I would hate to see so much artistic talent wasted.

This is why community sites exist, to aid you. If I had relized this sooner, I would have a whole lot more of my projects finished. My total map profile wouldn't be the pathetic 2 map thing it is now.

Don't stake your rep. on one huge project. Get a balance of good quality maps and a decent quanity of them. 1 map won't endear you to anyone.

As a final note, I wish you good luck. If you decide to continue with your huge project in secrete, I hope it comes out well.

In June/Juli the curtains go up for a first glimp..... I saw much projects for hl2 in the past with a huge media release when there wasnt even a map or a custom tex....... 90% of those projects did not survive..... due a to early media release and since i script texture moddel and map you see its quite time consuming.

Now I remember!

Poisonic is using the avatar GRIMLOCK used to have. I thought it looked familiar.

What happened to him anyway?

Edit: I think it used to spin around though.
