A lot has changed lately, many bugs were squashed, cleanups were done and some new features are introduced.
Here's a new overview:
TSP/Rating Related
As you might have seen, The old TSP bot has been disabled due to the amount of bugs it had. From this point on we only support ET 3.00 for TSP Rating, and all other servers for normal rating. If you want to add your server to TSP Rating you can contact us to provide you with the necessary details.
Donating, advertisements & that stuff
We have a new automated system for premium ships. If you donate in the future you'll get points you can spent in our shop. If you donate you can now also give those points to friends to let them have premium as well. It's also possible to put your advertisements up with this system. After we accept it it'll go back in the queue and it will be displayed as soon as the advertisements before you expire.
We've also created a new system yet to be expanded but already operational: you can deserve points to get premium with filling content on Trackbase. For now map editing and movie suggestions are working based on this system. If you go to a map and help filling the information (there's an orange box for that) we will check it out and apply or deny the changes. If the changes were helpful, you'll get 20 points per submit. This means with 5 submits, you can take a month premium. The same applies for adding new movies to the database. Be sure to be logged in if you submit, else we cannot track who gave the suggestions!
User Profiles, Albums & More
Today we introduced the basics of a new extended community system. If you click on your name in the left menu (on ET Tracker) you will be redirected to your user profile. Here you can also modify your settings like your xfire, timezone and more. To publicly view your reserved names go to the name reservation page and click on the 2nd last column labeled 'Profile'. From that point on, on that player name page a link will also appear to your profile and people will be able to find your xfire there.
At the same page you will be able to find an menu item called "Albums". From now on you can create albums and upload pictures that will be visible on your profile. Premium Members can add more albums/ and more pictures per album.
Roundup
