Waypoints

[madmax2]

It's good to see all the new activity here on the forum. Good discussion...

Also, I wanted to welcome MarteeW and thank him for the new waypoints.

I agree with Insane, ideally the forum is the best place for posting your waypoints and checking if they have been done before? But that does not always happen, I guess? It would be nice to have it all hosted here on the forum.

The last I knew, the upload size limit to the waypoints forum was 1 mb per post. But I'm not sure if that applies to everyone?

As an alternative, waypoints can be uploaded to the RCbot website, just create a login name, etc... Then you can link that to a waypoint forum post to announce your new waypoint. The nice thing about the website is it will attach the author name to the zip file name you use. But I think the website is 100kb limit per zip file, which is good enough.

The data base would be another useful tool, thanks MK777. Whenever I want to make a waypoint, I always wanted to know if someone had already made it, before I started it? I found myself google searching for waypoints, etc...

It doesn't hurt to have more than one waypoint for a map, but it can be confusing to newcomers to the bots. There can be more than one "good" waypoint per map. As us waypointers may have different waypointing styles, or preferences.

Also, I'm thinking it is ok to pre-announce a new waypoint you intend to release in the waypoints forum. You can start a new topic for it if you are certain you will finish it, and post it there in the same topic (don't start multiple topics, one to announce then one to release, etc...). Or you can ask in the request topic if someone has a waypoint for a map, and let everyone know you intend to make one. I know that may not always work?
