klepto2 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Hi, I like the idea for this new Forum and i would like to add some suggestions to it. Maybe the forum should be subdivided into other sub-forums: Extensions & Plugins: topics related to specific extensions In this forum there should be a moderated sticky with a list of extensions and plugins (official and community) and links to it FAQ or Tutorials (a place to ask questions or share knowledge about extension and plugin development) Releases (here should all extensions have a place) Bugs (what it says ) I believe without such a structure the top forum could become very large and unstructured. 1 Quote Intel® Core™ i7-8550U @ 1.80 Ghz 16GB RAM INTEL UHD Graphics 620 Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit-Version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I'm thinking in the future we will probably bring back the Downloads app for this site, with a focus on extensions and plugins, and leave the 3D models to third-party sites like Sketchfab that already have a lot of ready to use models available. The Invision web API can be used to browse and download this content. That system can be set up to automatically generate a support topic when an item is uploaded in the system, so all discussion can occur in that thread. I am actually thinking about a general-purpose front end that allows multiple "stores" to hook into it, like your Polyhaven browser, Ambientcg, etc. I just didn't want to bother you about it yet because your extension is very nice. With that information in mind, are you suggesting creating a new forum section divided into subforums, like this?: https://www.ultraengine.com/community/forum/87-platforms/ Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

klepto2 Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Yeah, I just thought with a single forum it will get be floated soon and I think it would be good to separate actual plugins from the development side. It’s just a cleaner way. 1 Quote Intel® Core™ i7-8550U @ 1.80 Ghz 16GB RAM INTEL UHD Graphics 620 Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit-Version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I agree. Right now this forum does not have a full page yet, but once it gets more content some subdivision will be necessary.

Josh Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I created one forum that is meant to have one thread per item. Eventually these topics will be auto-generated when the downloads system goes online. There is a second forum for discussion of addon development. Let's see how it goes and if it's bad just tell me.
