New Addin Type Requested! (and a suggestion for the rating system)

@davidc

I think we need a Chapter section and a Level Pack section! There's a lot of them now. Tongue

I just went through the first 60 pages and found a lot of them. I will list them later. Help needed. Tongue

And I found that a new addin can get a very high rating very easily. You just need to give it a 5-star and it will be on the top. It's kind of unfair. Maybe every add-in should get 10 3-star ratings each?

P.S. @inwog
You really made a lot of levels! I didn't notice that. Shock
And I found I have only played two of them. I guess the rest of them doesn't look attractive enough for me. Tongue

By the way, can I make a goomod version of @GOo-gle's Moon of Goo?

Exactly my thoughts. Even I can create level packs, so I fully agree with this. All thought we don't have much MWVs like Tacomann13 made, I think we should have a specific MWV section as well, don't you think?

What a coincidence, I was thinking about making a list like this as well.
Here's some you haven't mentioned:

Winter Wonderland
Vol. 3:(Sandy World For Goo)
My New Chapter
The Official TM13's View of the World of Goo: PART 1
Puggsoy's Island
MOM4Evr's Handy Chapter Tutorial

This one has gone down for some reason: Black and White Chapter
Here's what it looked like.

Mistake: you've put Geometry Hyperspace down twice.

Wow impressive. Shock

That page was unpublished because it had a level folder (GoingDown) that conflicted with another addin. And I'm not sure the author even noticed, because they haven't changed it yet. That was ten days ago I unpublished it. Puzzled

As for the rating system, well, it's kinda cause nobody rates addins. Tongue I kinda try to right after playing them, but not a lot of people seem to rate an addin if they're kinda meh about it, rather than if they love it or hate it.

Addin types added!

Unbiased ratings with a small sample set are a hard problem to solve, this is why the front page was changed to default to showing random addins.

Thanks @davidc!
Can I make a goomod version of @GOo-gle's Moon of Goo?

Nice, but who is going to change the category of each addin?

Well, someone who has too much free time may be and is a mod.

I can go through tomorrow and do that.

Add-in authors can do that too.

Anyone answer my question please? Puzzled

You shold ask @GOo-gle.

The problem is that @GOo-gle is not active anymore.

Joined: 08/06/2010

I doubt he would object. Similar things have been done before, e.g. with Far Lands (the original author never came to GooFans, he was only active on the 2D Boy forums).

EDIT: Ooh, I just realized that as a moderator I can see the old addin page for the Moon mod! I've been curious about that since it appeared on my account screen. Tongue

The rating system, I think if ratings are less than XX, "ratings are not enough" will display instead of the stars.

And why not add a "Hardest" in addins on home page? Tongue

Joined: 07/05/2011

Because it will become a featuring-Peter-B's-new-levels section. Tongue

EDIT: Wait, @davidc it should be possible to rate difficulty for Chapters and Level Packs. Puzzled

And it should be possible to view OCD of each level on leaderboard. (quite huge project)

Speaking of chapters, AP, did you receive my message on your e-mail? I sent you my chapter with levels and stuff, so if you haven't already, please check it out.

Yep, I got it. I'll look at it later today.

New addin kinds are not mentioned in Developers' Book (page about uploading).

Joined: 09/01/2009

Good call, Goosweek. You mean this page? http://goofans.com/developers/uploading-addins

EDIT: Updated all the level pages that were linked here (Except a couple that belonged in the "Sample" category and stuff like that). If anybody notices any more chapters or levelpacks that need their addin type changed, link me to 'em here! Smile

Chapter
A set of levels that replaces a chapter in the original game.

Well actually some chapter addin contains multiple chapters. Tongue

Now I'm gonna play those chapters. Tongue

Shouldn't Far Lands be in the Chapter section?

Joined: 09/01/2009

@Mygod: Fair point. Feel free to suggest something else there; I was just in a hurry and couldn't think of anything else.

@Peter B: Far Lands is actually a level pack. The original one (Which the dead links on that page used to lead to... Anybody got a mirror of those?) was a set of chapters that replaced chapters in the original game, while the .goomod version that Pavke made is just a set of levels that show up in Chapter 1. I think. I should probably double-check this.

EDIT: Yep, it's a level pack. And apparently I even worked on it at some point, which I had completely forgotten about. XD

Joined: 07/05/2011

I think I've downloaded Far Land as a chapter before but the file was probably deleted. Puzzled

Joined: 08/06/2010

I have it somewhere, although it's not a goomod. I'll see about packaging that up once I finish editing Wiki's work.
