> Lol, why would you want to go to 4 different places to check for ALL the updates for plugins?

Huh? You think 5 is better? There's no guarantee that this list will be any more up to date than the wiki or dereth.info, all three are dependent on somebody updating them manually.


> Why do you seem angry

Because I don't like someone telling everyone nobody's been keeping a list up to date when both myself and others have been doing exactly that. It's like spending hours cooking a meal, only to find out your family have ordered pizza while you were in the kitchen.

>> So? There's some missing from yours as well. However, take EmoteButler and NinjAlert for example- as far as I know, they've never been advertised or announced anywhere. You can't criticize a list for not being complete if nobody tells you there's something missing from it, especially if it's a wiki, and you're more than capable of updating it yourself.


Well, it's not just ones that were never announced.


One example: WinampController. It is on nobody's list now, but it WAS on the original ACHeaven page. Oh, and it still works and I know people who still use it.


Look: I'm not trying to say your list is worthless or anything. What I AM trying to say is that I saw what I believed to be room for improvement, so I decided to see what I could do. My goal here really has nothing to do with you...I simply thought this would be a help to people.

Nice Thanks for your efforts I appreciate it!!

Remember opinions are like ears everyone has a least two!

Don't get me wrong, it's a useful tool, in fact I'll probably use it until Decal's working again.


My only problem is a) claiming nobody else has been keeping lists up to date when we clearly have, and b) claiming that your list is kept any more up to date than anybody elses. That might be true right now, but it's far from guaranteed.

When I took over the acheaven data, I migrated all of the data from the "working" list and visited each of the websites. If the data was not there, then I did not include it in the database. I update the page, whenever I see any announcement on these boards, or when I get PM's on my site or emails. I've updated quite a few, when the author's notify me.


However, I do think this would be a good program to have. I was just wondering who was keeping a good list and checking all of the websites themselves.


And yes, I need to finish up that portion of the website. I'd like to get screenshots of the plugins and everything.. I've just gotten a ton of work since I put that in there. I'll try to work on some of the stuff in the next few weeks.

Well, as far as databases go, the program itself reads from an xml file with the same format as Decal's decalplugins.xml. If anyone else wants to set up a page on their site that generates such an xml, I would add a series of option boxes to the program to allow the user to select different databases.

 

-----signature-----

heh.. I'd have to figure out how to do xml files (which I plan to figure out eventually, but it's not too high on my list of things to do yet).

harrass Virindi for his list not having a link to Virindi Tank.


shows you JUST how difficult it is to maintain a list of current plugins when the list doesn't even include one of the author's plugins!

 

-----signature-----

Huh? My list includes Virindi Tank, and it has the whole time. On the other hand, nobody else has a link to it...though I didn't really want to raise that, because it is my own plugin and I didn't want anyone to get the mistaken impression that I was unhappy over that.

sorry i was thinking you did the replacement updates for the old sucamarto's listing at http://www.dereth.info/?ind=utility_info which only lists like 2 of the virindi plugins, and tank not being one of them.
