something that isn't cake, prefereably

Pasting copied level code after "select all" is clicked yields the entire contents on a single line when pasted.

show gametypes in the individual level screen. Currently when viewing individual levels you have to look at the actual level code to figure out the gametype.

Needed for admin-only permissions checking

Enhancement request: The categories on the front page listing recently updated, highest rated, and most downloaded levels only stop at 8 levels. It'd be nice to either have a "more" link in the lower right of each collection or have the header clickable. These links would lead to a full search of the database, queried in order of latest revision, level rating, or download count as applicable.

When updating a level, it no longer puts the level at the top of the "Recently Updated" list. In, fact, if updating a level that is currently in the "Recently Updated" list, it will remove the level from the list.

The majority of the links can be automatically ajaxed. Combined with caching this should yield a performance boost overall.

The grey "no screenshot" is ugly. Something else would be better. Maybe a bitfighter ship or maybe nothing at all? Discuss on IRC

it's useless

Allow users to add levels to their "favorites" list. Other users can see their favorites. Allows users to quickly find the levels they liked if they lose it or need to update it for some reason.

Have to relog in each time I look at the database almost. Having a "stay logged in" option to check would be nice. Or pull from bitfighter.org login perhaps?

Enhancement request: It'd be nice to see a dateline added to entries on Pleiades, listing when the level was uploaded to the database, as well when it was revised (if applicable). I think it's cool to learn roughly when a level was created for historical purposes.

A timestamp for comments would also be appreciated. Timestamps on comments are important for determining if a level was revised before or after the comment. For example, if I read a comment along the lines of, "this level is horribly buggy" I might not download the level, whereas if I saw it was posted before a revision was made to the level, I might give the level a second chance.

examples:

• level name
• game type
• time limit
• team count
• score limit

Allow phpbb mods and admins to set the author name when uploading maps.
Use this name when generating file names.

Currently you are forced to filter on a gametype

vote up/down
downloads
views
comments

quick search by level name in the header

The ever-looming specter. Maybe somebody will just do it for me.

allow users to upload a .zip and automatically create level submissions for them

Should not be abbreviations.

screenshots need to be limited by file and canvas size. Too-large screenshots should be sampled so that they fit into an 800x600 rectangle, and thumbnails should be generated when they are uploaded.

Something like

"run the following command to download this level in-game"
/dlmap qui_geowar

in big, easy to read font

Paginated searches with the following keys:

• name
• author
• gametype
• tags
• levelgen

A user should be able to Edit/Delete any of their own comments, and also delete any comments on a level they've uploaded. Otherwise things can get messy fast.

Because the level has an aggregated "rating" field which must be updated when new ratings are added.

Clicking on a tag while viewing a level should list levels with that tag

lists of levels should be compact but articular, displaying the map name, author, thumbnail, description, and game-specific level info.

they also need to be paginated
