Major changes to MTS2 - Updated 27th August 2008
Hi All,
Today sees quite a few backend code changes for MTS2 - as well as the apartment life update, I have devised a new search and filtering method which extends the forum/category system to allow multiple arbitrary search parameters to be attached to a particular download.
The technical list is here:
- Pets -> Cats has been renamed to Pets -> Animals
- All threads in Pets -> Dogs have been moved to Pets -> Animals and assigned a category of "Dogs"
- By Room -> Bedroom/Nursery has been renamed to By Room -> Bedroom
- By Room -> Nursery has been created
- All threads in By Room -> Bedroom/Nursery with a title of "nursery" have been moved to By Room -> Nursery
- Categories "Bedding", "Beds" and "Other object" have been added to By Room -> Bedroom
- Categories "Bedding", "Cribs/Toddler Beds" and "Other objects" have been added to By Room -> Nursery
Most download results are now limited to a maximum of 2000 threads. - Reverted back to old code for now- The front page has been revamped and should work better on widescreen monitors
- Additional Search parameters have been added to the following sections:
- All Lots & Housing sections
- All Body Shop Clothing sections
- Body Shop Skintones
- Body Shop Hair
- Body Shop Facial Hair
- Body Shop Glasses and Other Accessories
- All Buy Mode By Function sections
- All Game Modifications sections
- The Upload Wizard now accepts Apartment Life uploads
- Apartment Life has been added to the user profile
- Lots & Housing -> Apartments has been added to the download section
- A download summary has been added to the threads that contain search parameters.
- Some of the "banner messages" have been incorporated into a rotating message that appears in place of the Site/Tech news
Please note that
all creators should double check their uploads to make sure they have the applicable search filters selected. This is to ensure downloaders can find your items! To edit your threads, go to them and click Edit underneath the Download Details box. (You can see a list of your uploads using your profile or via My Feedback)
Until the creators actually update thier items, most of the filters will return nothing... However, as more and more people update then it should start getting back meaningful results.
I hope you like the changes and, as usual, let me know if there are any bugs.
Regards
Delphy
