Archive your levels!
« on: October 14, 2006, 11:28:14 AM »

On reflection the save message was probably a bit terse (I've now made the warning more explicit), but if you don't use the warehouse link to name your level after you've saved it, then it will be deleted when we need to make space on the server (given that the save directory is going to fill up with a lot of temporary work and duplication, over time).

If you're posting any levels to the forums, you should make sure that you've archived them permanently through the warehouse link, so that the server knows they're worth keeping, and so that the forum references will always work.

You don't need to click the warehouse link immediately after saving - if you visit the Warehouse now (http://kevan.org/rubicon/warehouse.php), you can type in the names of your already-saved levels and fill in their details.

If and when you have an interface to list the contents of the warehouse, can you add a function to allow the designer of a level to delete it? I've saved junk in the warehouse now and then -- broken levels that I would delete if I could.

Kevan, maybe you could add a warning to levels that haven't been warehoused when you play them?

It seemed a bit hectoring, but yeah, maybe it's a good idea. v1.22 now has warnings.
