Through Bots United, we have a hugh filebase where we can post as many files and updates as we like.

Also, if someone out there in Internet Land paths for some custom map, all of us can review it, and if its a good job, we can host it here or even bundle it with Fritz too.

I don't like how it is with most bots: 20 different ppl making path files, some good, some not, and you have to search all over the net to find them because they each have their own site. And its usually a pain to get in touch with the author about bugs, missing features, or requests for the path file.

I'd like BU to be the hub of all Fritz activity.

Would you guys be interested in being the "official waypointers", perhaps even taking requests?

Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?


btw: I would haver a cooler code name for Fritz than "wiki"!
Yeah, i figured that's what we'd be anyway so count me in. The thing is though, map locations. See i have an entire DVD filled with Maps i've collected ever since wolf was released, and i like older versions of some maps and those maps may not be available anymore, so we need to decide if we provide links to these maps, or just tell people to google and pray.

I also agree with what you are saying in that it does suck having to search thousands of sites for a particular waypoint. But unfortunatly not everyone will comply by this, there's still gonna be rogue waypointers out there or even worse plagerizers who take our waypoints, modify them slightly and re-release saying it's their work. This probably won't be that bad because of the flexability of the scripting system and how user's can set them up anyway they like.

But speaking for myself, and i think Ghost would agree that any new waypoints, suggestions, requests etc. you'll only find them 2 places, his site (mainly release news) and the Fritzbot Site/Board. I personally will use the board for all my activity and the waypoints i'm working on will be in my sig, so everyone will know what i'm up to and all. You should make a sub forum for just waypointing related announcements, help, and requests and such. That way it sort of keeps everything organized.
