Deprecating demo uploading

Due to upcoming changes the feature to upload playthrough demo files will be removed. It was never used much and the online world has changed a lot since it was added. People seem to prefer to watch video captures to demo files.

I will remove the uploading form in the coming days. The demo files will of course stay available at https://www.quaddicted.com/files/demos/ and I will add a dump of their metadata in that directory.

I’d rather you didn’t remove the feature. I look for demos at times and find it a handy thing sometimes.

That’s a shame.

As long as they are still available to download that’s completely understandable.

But… I wonder what the “upcoming changes are”? Intrigued.

It is quite seldomly used:
18 2013
76 2014
16 2015
13 2016
13 2017
34 2018
22 2019
43 2020
13 2021
23 2022

Once running fully, demos could just be uploaded anywhere, added as files with appropriate metadata and map/mod pages could list them again.

This is great news. I wish i could help code but happy to help in other ways: financially, promotion or testing when the time comes.

Can’t call it a year yet! :stuck_out_tongue:
I just finally removed the feature, sorry for forgetting.

There I go, trying to help someone in lunchtime 23 okt 2022. Making a demo to help adding some light on a map question.

These a tragic bandwidth urges.
