New Files section categories

[ThatOneReaper 52]

Soeb and I decided that the categories used previously for the Files section needed an overhaul. Files were becoming hard to find without a link and categories were being disproportionately used. So new categories and sub-sections were created to better suit and organize our files.

 

A quick rundown of the (current) layout:

• Applications (for standalone applications and software)
  • General (a catch-all for anything that doesn't fit in the categories that are available)
  • Demos (official game demos and shareware go here)
  • Full games (for complete and (legally) free games. Pirated software and abandonware are not proper submissions!)
  • Dedicated servers (for software needed to run a dedicated multiplayer server for a game)
  • Tools (no longer a standalone category. For applications that have specific and technical uses)
• DLL files (Same as before)
• Game fixes (for game-specific fixes)
  • General (a catch-all for anything that doesn't fit in the categories that are available)
  • Official patches (for patches officially provided by the developer)
  • Unofficial patches (for patches created by the community)
  • Gamepad configurations (for controller-based fixes and custom button mapping files)
  • Scripts (no longer a standalone category)
• Extra game content (NEW! For extra developer and community-created game content)
  • Official content (for developer-created content)
  • Community content (for smaller community-created content like map packs, models, etc.)
  • Mods (for community-created game modifications. This is NOT the same as the Community content sub-section!)
• Other (Same as before. For anything that doesn't fit in any of the other categories)

Any category with sub-sections will have the root category act as a hub. Eventually, submissions to the root category will no longer be allowed, so please add future submissions to the most appropriate sub-section.
