List of all Contests and participants

[trudnicki]

Hi Everyone

I am trying to sort out my fms collection is there any place where i can find list of all contest and its participants ??

 

[trudnicki]

Is it always like that ?

You ask question. Second later You are finding answer to it, sorry for mess on forum

BTW I am very confused about fm versions. In mission download section for example version is v4 and inside pk4 readme file version 1.1. In download section link to mission forum site would be also very helpful

I have downloaded fms from Dark Mod and ModDB some of them are of course doubled so i try to compare them it would be very helpful to keep correct version in description so evreyone can keep track of it, and yes i know dark mod updates them but i like to have offline archive.

There are a few ways to state the version number:

• Inside darkmod.txt, included in the .pk4. The version number in here is what should be shown ingame in the mission downloader.
• Mappers can write whatever they want inside the readme.txt included in the .pk4. This is the same as writing a version number into the release thread.
• There is also the internal version number, which always has to be a whole number. It's entered directly in the admin interface, and only team members can see it.

The existence of the last, internal-only number has led to some confusion among mappers. I think I used to put whole version numbers into my darkmod.txt (i.e. v2 or v3), but declare a decimal update (i.e. v1.1 or v1.2) on the forum thread and in the readme.txt.

It's also possible to have different version numbers in the darkmod.txt and readme.txt. This is something that should be caught during beta testing.

For people who have the same question, where did you find it? ThiefGuild.com?

the firts thing i think of !
in the wiki the " available TDM-Missions " list shows contest relations , but i think it´s not mentioned for every Mission that has partaken on a contest  ( ?!?)
if trudnicki has found another resource with full listing :
please report !

P.S.    !!! there´s the : Fan Mission Contests    page on wiki

I don't understand that we don't have a requirement on one version nr. type. Currently I would say forget about version numbers, it's super confusing and sometimes even maybe completely untrue, better add a name for the specific update, instead of a number. Also, I don't understand why the internal version nr. has to be a whole number. That is such a bizar limitation.

Hello again

I just want you guys to double check fms because i think files got mixed up

Localization Packs: Vengeance for a Thief Part 1

its says it is for a pawn in the game localization pack

String table English (iso-8859-1) for: Vengeance for a Thief Part 1: A Pawn in the Game
But it is under VFAT1: The Angel's Tear download

I have looked in my fm archieve and i foun fm named

The Accountant: Part 1 - A Noble Home (prologue)

It is not listed in download section. any idea about this one ?? is it a part of accountant campaign ?

Is it obsolete ?

or it is missed ?

Also i came across

Samhain Night on Bone Hill By PranQster Version: 0.9.7

Back again to version matter. Maybe it is not important to keep versions, maybe it is.

For me it is important as i am updating my archive of fms so it is nice to just see version straight away than looking in every pk4 file for it. Also it would be very helpful just to add in download section beside released date, update date as well

Hello again

I just wonder. By the look at list of contests at wiki its hard not to notice a gap 2015 - 2021 Hard for me to believe that there was absolutely no contest held during this period of time. Can anyone share info with me about it.

We really did not have a contest over that period. I think there were a few attempts to have one, but those didn't get off the ground.
