How to make use of exporting fighters...

jrmorgan56 · 01-26-2004, 09:34 PM

I've been trying to figure out the best way to share fighters via CornerWork.com....

What if, for each weight division, a master download was offered (containing all the fighers). New fighters will have individual links that will stay on the site for about a month (on the front page - no more encyclopedia). Once that month has passed, the only time you can get that fighter would be to download the master zip file for that weight division...

Any ideas/suggestions?

The first part of the master download for what is already on the site would not work well for me as I already have most of the fighters currently on the site. This would mean I have multiple copies of fighters if I tried to pick up the ones I had not got round to copying into my database.

The second part of the suggestion for new fighters rated would work well I feel. As this gives everyone enough time to get the individual fighter before he gets put into the divisional download.

To make the master download easier to handle, perhaps you might split each weight division into eras. You know, say:

1880-1910
1910-1940
1940-1970
1970-present

Anyone who was doing a historical replay or who was interested only in the fighters from certain eras wouldn't have to import all of a division's fighters at a swoop, then.
