We have a small group of students selected to put together a new skinpack for the JA. These guys will be working through the next couple of weeks to make a smaller yet better skinpack. Suggestions are welcome :).

#ja-cleanup in IRC
********************************************

Here our your objectives, you must be done by March 12th:
1. Trim down the skinpack to a size no greater than 40mb
2. Remove worthless/unsuable/not used pk3s
3. Replace pk3s that have better/newer versions
4. Add whatever is good as long as you meet the size limit.

Use this thread and #ja-cleanup, thx guys!

##################
# Plan of Action #
##################

Phase 1: Cuts
Deadline: March 5th @ 2400 UTC

Each member of the cleanup crew will vote on every pk3 in the current skinpack list. You will vote to either keep that pk3 or remove it. On the 5th @ 2400 UTC (GMT), voting will cease and all votes will be tallied. Skins will be removed if they recieve more than 50% of cutting vote. You will post your voting results here in this thread.

Phase 2: Updates
Deadline: March 9th @ 2400 UTC

For the skins that are staying, we will look for newer/better versions of them. Post which pk3s you'd like to provide updates for in this thread (please include links to a page with screenshots/pk3 to the newer one). All update submissions will be in by March 9th @ 2400 UTC. The cleanup crew will then have 1 day to vote yay/nay on each proposed update. Votes will no longer be taken by March 10th @ 2400 UTC. The passing updates will be added to the skinpack.

Phase 3: Additions
Deadline: March 11th @ 2400 UTC

With what space is left after cuts and updates, the crew can propose new additions to the skinpack. Additions can no longer be proposed after March 9th @ 2400 UTC. Then each member will vote on each proposition. On March 11th @ 2400 UTC, votes will be tallied and additions made based on which ones have the most votes (until we reach the size limit).

Phase 4: Assembly
Deadline: March 12th @ 2400 UTC

The new skinpack will be put together. It will be uploaded to all JA servers replacing the old skinpack and the Servers page will be updated. A newspost will be made announcing the update.

I know there are a lot there, and that some are still used, but I have my reasons. ;)

The several I didn't include there are fine to stay, in my opinion...except Palpatine, of course, which just needs updating. :P

Oh, and this may change every now and then until the deadline, as I change my thoughts on things. :D

Alright, updated to my final decisions.

I'm pretty sure they meant put all the pk3s into one zip file for download, a lot like the server pack we had before, just more up to date and inclusive. Putting them all into onr pk3 would be havoc, so yeh, I doubt they meant that. :P

You shouldn't have just 1 pk3. This will cause duplicates of skins / models when you enter other servers, pending they have the same model / skin that you have and it is named the same as it was released. I agree with the cleanup, but not with the 1 pack file.


Yup. Otherwise, me n' Buzz would have done that when we originally made the pack. :D

God, I'm not even on enough to remember what skins weren't used as much. :P The Fett skins.. especially Boba Fett (because there's a default one, duh) can probably go in the trash. The clone trooper models, EXCEPT the blue jetpack trooper one, can go as well I guess. Tallepyon uses that one...

I would like to help you out Tido as I belive there are some skins eg: clone trooper models and mandalorian models with to many varents. Both of these have about five or more varents that don't get used very often. There are some good models out there that I'm sure if were on the servers would get used, for eg: the new epIII anakin, or Mara Jade (my fav). I am also on the servers almost every day, so if I can be of any assistance let me know.:D

p.s.Im not picking on mandalorian or clone fans these are just example's Im a big Boba fan to.:D
