I am developing a new editor which is similar in build to the Rugby League 2 editor I made (some of you may know it). The advantages of my editor will be the functionality and the ease of use in dragging and dropping players into teams and rearranging them in the gui. Also, it will be easy to add advance things like searching by selected criteria and updating players in bulk. (i.e make a whole team or certain player positions 10% faster or stronger etc).
Since the internals of the editor are built around a database to manage all the teams and players I was thinking if anyone would be interested if I were to allow the editing and updating of a centralised database that people can login to and make changes. I run several 100mb servers so speed and location is not a problem.
Some of the advantages/disadvantages are as follows
Pros
1. People can download at any time the most current version of the player / team rosters
2. People (or at least a select group) can login and make changes to this database
Cons
1. Some people might mess things up on purpose but daily/hourly backups can be made
2. Some people might disagree with the stats given to certain players and hence arguments would flair up
What are you opinions on this?
Forgot to add - Woosah is also (hopefully) doing some programming on this editor once I get the base set up (as well as continuing his own version of the editor).
