As 1.1 is now available and people started creating 1.1 exclusive content, How about adding a "Your releases 1.1+" section?1.1 exclusive stuff is not compatible with 1.0 just like 1.0 isn't with older Mugen versions, and in this case, there even are compatibility issues the other way around, 1.0 and below characters will not work properly on 1.1's zooming stages most of the time, so I think a separate board will be useful.
To be honest, at this point, rather than having 3 different boards, I'd suggest another system altogether because it's pretty annoying to check 2 boards already.It would be an additional small column next to the icons, and there would be all 3 options (Win, 1.0, 1.1) that the topic creator would check or uncheck to say with which one their creation is compatible. That would also permit a creation to be marked for more than just one version, so if someone makes something compatible with everything, they don't have to post in all boards / people don't have to look in all boards to find something that's compatible with their version.
I agree people will be mistakening 1.1 releases for 1.0 And we can't have people asking if this is for 1.0 or WinMugen so a 1.1 Section is highly needed
I don't see why it shouldn't be put up earlier. I also wish we could have multiple message icons for the reason Byakko mentioned.
TRUEMicah said, May 26, 2013, 08:12:06 pmThere isn't enough content for 1.1 yet.A simple "1.1" tag on 1.1 creations would do fine for now.That's why I suggested it.I think it would be better to have that section in advance, and not when half the posts in the 1.0 section have an 1.1 tag already, making it a mess.An empty board is still much less disturbing than having to skip 10-50% of the topics because they are for a different version.Besides, even in the 1.1 category itself, stuff with and without zooming support aren't compatible with each other, complicating things even further.Icons are also a good idea, as long as they are large enough and each have a distinct color. In case of icons, we could have Win,1.0,1.1 and 1.1 Zoom icons.
i would suggest implementing a tagging system already (1.1, capcom, darkstalkers, fatalities, nude, etc)

I agree on the 1.1 section. It would make forums bit cleaner and less confusing.Offtopic: Some really really nice coders should start posting 1.1 zoom feature patches for older stages : P
Exactly.If we have to use the message icons, can any admin add them or is this a Val only thing?I'm for combining the boards and making more message icons, even if we have to make a lot more icons. If that's the only 2 options then that's the way we should go. We have way too many boards as it is and it's still confusing for stuff that works with everything or just 2 of 3 mugen versions or whatever.
i would keep winmugen separated from mugen1.0 , call it mugen1.0 and upwards and add a tag cloud system.Only val can add this kind of stuff.
