so once the first site really starts pushing a 'model' / skin type colletion, it will take over as the 'main' website for modders most likely. id like to see sc2mapster initiate this type of uploading / searching etc.... section to stay ahead of the game. its pretty obvious that from all the other sites sc2mapster is the cream of the crop atm. and models / loading screens etc... are just starting to come out. if there was a section to upload them it would really push sc2mapster into the lead for a long time to come. heck, it may even allow sc2mapster to endorse some advertising revenue off it. anyways, people help me bump this so the site moderators can get on this aspect and keep our community thriving for the coming years. i know people are already allowing people to 'upload' them and whatnot but a whole section with links at the top right next to 'maps' and 'asset' be like 'multimedia' or something like that... thanks
A link in the main menu at the top to a categorized tutorial section (with a rating system maybe?) would be nice.
oh, 1 more thing I just noticed. Below my avatar there's a text stating that I made 2 addons, which is true, but they are for WoW and not for SC2. Maybe it should just list the number of stuffs an author made for SC2?

That's quite a humorous opinion considering most of the SC2Mapster community posts on other mapping sides, as well as a good chunk of the guides (even some front page articles) link to other mapping sites.
Competition is never a bad thing for the consumer.
We feel there should always be competition, and with that being said, we would love for you to upload models/skins/assets here to sc2mapster. We have alot of big ideas for how to take advantage of this, whether from integration with the Curse client, or possibly even importing of assets straight through sc2mapster via MWE
yeah, assets and multimedia are quite similar, but the current 'assets' seems almost like 'functional libraries' of sorts. like if someone wants a wasd map, they would goto 'assets' and just start there as a 'jumpship' / 'starter kit' of framwork coding to work with. it doesnt seem differentiated from straight multimedia. i think both are/would be necesarry or have a place in the 'downloading' community. maybe someone just wants a str8 code to make multi colored dialog menus, but why should that 'code map' be in the same section as a str8 model or skin??? just my bottom of the barrel 2 cents....
while assets and multimedia may be interchangable by this sites moderator standards, it would just be nice to be able to filter out what you are specifically looking for (i know it will take many months to get where there is a need for filtering) but it would just make sense to be able to see a 'preview' pic of each skin/model/loading screen(garden of auir has already started producing loading screens) or even to be able to filter out 'loading screens' from 'models' 'skins' etc.... the fact that 'assets' entails even basic foundation for map coding types seems like it would belong in a different category.
im just really diggin this site and would like to see things like this be done here before somewhere else does it to keep this site blowing up for the sc2 modding community, i bet its gonna get big in the next 2 years.... no, f-ing HUGE :)
and theres already a model uploaded of 'sc2mapster' if im not mistaken. that would be a 'proper' first model to add to the database

Assets is what you call multimedia. This is where you can upload models, images, tools ... :)
Maybe it's not a good name, we are thinking of revamping the top menu to make things clearer :)

Lol take over hive.... there's no doubt, this is from Curse gaming, they are experts ; )

The whole upload/map/project/asset system is going to be redone to be reorganized in the very near future.
