It will probably be possible to upload the files directly.

Hi guys,

the MOD team (specifically paul, vic and a_jelly_donut) have been working on a new tool to validate MODs. The great thing about it is, it's written in PHP, which means it can be run on the serverside. It will find common problems by analysing the code. Please pre-validate your MODs before sending the to the MODDB or they will be instadenyed.

The URL is: http://www.phpbb.com/mods/mpv/

Why not edit it so that after it validates it and finds no problems it auto submits.

[igorw]

Using MPV doesn't necessarily mean you want to submit it. You can also use it to find the problems so far and the continue with development. What we will do in future though is automatically run MPV on a MOD on submission and if it finds errors it will report them right away.

[comkid]

You guys should make it to submit to the moddb, you have to run it and under will be a check box which might say "Submit if no errors".

[igorw]

Yes, we have it planned.

[comkid]

Did you plan before I wrote this, or was it my idea?

[igorw]

It's been planned for a while, we're slowly getting there with titania.

[comkid]

Oh, that's good
