Uploading Files on GrandPrixGames.org [updated]
Posted by Lo2k
IMPORTANT NOTE :
You only need to follow the below procedure if you want to UPLOAD files (share your files with other players).
To download files, you only need to be registered on the forum. Our download section is here
As most of you have seen, the design of GrandPrixGames site has completely changed lately and these changes also act on user accounts.
Most of our veteran uploaders have still their rights but some of the occasional uploader have lost their rights in the change and are now in the same situation as any newcomer.
So here is the new procedure to get an access to upload your files on GrandPrixGames again (or a new access for any newcomer) :
- First you need to be registered. It's free and will only take you one minute, clicking on "log in" text at top right of the forum and following the steps.
- Once you're registered, log in and go to "My Control Center"
- Select the left line "View and Join a group", choose "Software" in the list and hit Join button.
- To speed up the approval step, just send me (Lo2k) a pm explaining briefly what kind of file you are wishing to upload.
- Once I will receive the message, I will decide to approve it (or not). This could take a couple of days, depending on my free time but at the end, you will have an answer and get an access to file upload (or not).
I hope everything was clear, if not, just reply to this mail and I will update/fix this howto text
Thanks for your comprehension,
Laurent aka Lo2k
Second part of this message :
You were approved as a Software Member and you want to upload one of your files.
Procedure is very simple:
- Go to GPGames Homepage
- Click on the Download section
- Choose the game your file was designed for
- Choose the sub-section corresponding to your file
- Create a new thread. Here you can attach a file that will be uploaded on GPGames or make a link to it in case of an external file. Be sure to always give filename, filesize, file version and file description at least.
- The posted thread will not be online immediately but will be approved by myself before being online, which should not take more than a few days in the worst case.
- Once the file will be approved, you will find it in the same game/sub-section you selected before posting your file.
I hope I was clear again, else just contact me to tell me what's missing

I just made a little change in the howto because there's no automatic mail sent to me, thus I ask everyone to send me a pm after the group change attempt.
Is this forum just for approval until the files are pt in some download section?
I have disabled hotlinking from my site, so I could either link to the site, or I guess approve hotlinking for GPG.

Hmm, Hi Robert,
Your post reminds me I really need to clarify two things for everyone :
1. I'm not the owner of GPGames in any way, nor the coder behind the forum, nor a webmaster or anything else (but site banner and site french traduction if you're really into details). What I really do is approving your demands to be able to upload files on gpgames and I also approve files themselves before they would be online. And that's pretty all.
2.You don't need to ask anything to DOWNLOAD files. If you want to DOWNLOAD files, your forum registration was enough so all you need to do now is browsing in our Download section and pick the file you need.
You only need to ask for an account change if you want to UPLOAD files on gpgames (what means you created some mode/texture/anything and you want everyone on gpgames could download and use it). In that case and that case only, yes you need to ask for an account change.
I hope you understand there's nothing personal with you, Robert (and welcome on gpgames by the way), but I wanted to clear things up a bit for the future
