A recent plugin for N64 Emulators has allowed the use of custom game
textures, and thus retexturing games has become a fad on the
EmuTalk.net boards. The current board has absolutely no
organization whatsoever, since topics are being made all over the place
and topics that actually have textures are left in the dust. I was thinking of making a web site that will organize these individual textures (which are all images) in the same way Pixel Joint works (upload a texture, texture gets approved, open for download and c&c). Could anybody point me to a tutorial on making a site like this?  |

you'll need some kind of scripting language to do this. HTML is purely
cosmetic, and a tiny bit backend. But the languages you'll be
interested in are Javascript, ASP, or PHP. sedgemonkey uses ASP, and
that is what I program. Fortunately there are scripts that are already
made that are free, and are very useful in what you're looking for.
SOOP Portal is a portal script that uses webWizForums script, the forum
script used here, and there are Modifications that you can use to make
a Downloads section.

Demon mentioned everything you need to know. Linux/PHP/MySQL or Windows/ASP/MSSQL are typical setups, but there are a zillion ways you can set up your web app. The best place to start is finding a host that will allow the following...
There are other techs out there for web like JSP, Coldfusion, .NET and old school Perl/CGI, but ASP and PHP are the easiest to learn and implement and there's tons of free code online for anything you might need. With all that said there is one thing you should know... building and maintaing a web app takes a lot of time. Even customizing existing code can take a huge amount of work so be prepared to pour in a lot of hours. |
