Game Mod Update

Postby Grumpybum on Wed Feb 24, 2010 10:23 pm

I have added some features to the games mod that people have been asking for.
  • Image Game sharing. You can now keep track of who you have loaned your games to.
  • Image You can also indicate which games you want to boost and that will show up under your posts and in your profile.
  • In the UCP, games categories now have separate pages to make it easier to find the ones you're looking for.
  • I've also made a lot of under the covers changes that will make the mod perform better, but you probably won't notice.

As usual let me know what you think.

Found a bug. Not sure if it's related to the Mod Update.

On the Portal Page, in the Stats Box on the right, it's showing this:
{ GAMES_TOTAL } 3325

I'm guessing you need to add the language definition for GAMES_TOTAL, or something else has gone awry.

Yeah I noticed that after I went to work. I missed an edit when I upgraded. :roll:

Found some more bugs. On the Portal Page, every game links back to the portal page, not the game page.

Also, in the Games page, the games being boosted all link to Fallout 3, not their own page.

Suggestion: to show who wants to boost the game, can you add something to the users name on the games page? Maybe add the boosting icon next to their name.

Ta fixed those. I copied and pasted code from the popular games section and didn't edit it properly so the last popular game's link was being used for all of them. In the case of the front page, there was no popular games link at all so it had no link.

Cheers mate.

As for the suggestion, I'll add that to my next release.

Has anyone got any suggestions on how to indicate if someone wants to play a game?

I was thinking of maybe an asterisk or underline on the name. Are there any other features that people want?
