New Layout Update
 
bullet points represent fourms
writing in blue is my comments explaining stuff
also the (mods) thing just helps ppl teling them how many mods are supported by the bots


Re: Bot Forums one advantage of having the same layout across all bot froums is so that ppl will start posting in the correct forums

Well done! I may have some comments to make later, but I think what you've laid out is a good improvement right out of the box

Re: New Layout Update
 
Just two things: I wouldn't divide the waypointing forum, and not into PODBot, RealBot and others. I'm saying this for three reasons:

1) There is often confusion between the different PODBot offsprings, not all of which share the exact same format. Some people even post questions for PB 2.5 in the PODBot mm forum because it's hard to keep these jobs apart. If we divide the waypointing forum, I would suggest dividing it into a) PB 2.5 / YaPB / IvPB / EPB format and b) PB mm format, among others.

2) If BU wants to get away from being a CS bot forum with some little appendices like HPB-Bot, FritzBot, ShrikeBot etc. (no offense intended, I just want to express that 90% of BU stuff is CS-related so far), it might be a good step to make a sub-forum for each bot, including the non-CS ones - not to mention FritzBot, which isn't even HL-based.

3) Since we (= MarD, Biohazerd87 and me) are planning to make a waypointing portal for BU anyway (one for ALL BU bots, btw!), I think we could leave the waypointing forum here as a kind of bug report / WP request / waypointing question forum for all bots, whereas releases would be made on the waypointing portal itself.
Or we could think about adding a waypointing sub-forum to each bot forum.

However, I am against splitting the WP forum at all. There's just too little traffic there so far, and empty sub-forums may discourage people seeking waypoints for not-so-widespread bots.

Other than that, everything looks really good. :)

yes i wanted to make it so that the subforum format i have shown on podbot will apply to all bots no matter what game or mod they are for...

maintains consistency and just makes it easy for the mods\new developers of those sub forums to have pre establish layout for them rather than having to do it themselevs or request it


ps: changed the waypoint thing

:) :)

Awww... now I can't place a second vote for "yes".... :'( Well, I hope this new layout gets some support from others...;)

Concerning the idea of applying the sub-forum structure to all bots, you might want to have a word with the respective bot coders first... I'm not sure what stefan, Whistler or Maleficus would say when they suddenly find their cozy, familiar little forums split into several sub-forums without their prior consent...:D

I think make one forum for all game modding stuff may be a good idea
