Is there a Object Repository where we can get custom objects? If not, would anyone like to upload theirs for others to use if I create a site? it could contain the .bin/txt files in a zip and maybe a jpg with a picture of the object. Just a thought.
Thief Object Repository:
(
http://spirited-tech.com/thief/) http://spirited-tech.com/thief/
Or try:
(
www.spirited-tech.com/thief/) www.spirited-tech.com/thief/
Last Count: 1000+ Objects

I'll just mention now that I'm in the process of reorganizing that thread. Once I'm done it should be much easier to locate whatever you're looking for.

It still won't address the issue of missing the forest for the trees (i.e., putting important things in a sticky is a guaranteed way to make most people miss them).

I agree. I'm open to suggestions. I can't think of a better way to do it except maybe go back to having multiple stickies but make the titles all caps and in bold, like:
TUTORIALS
OBJECTS, TEXTURES, MESHES, ETC.
MUSIC AND SFX
But then we're still stuck with them being stickied. People are still going to just fail to notice them. Maybe we need animated titles with blinking lights. :cheeky:
Seriously though, maybe I should at least change the title of the existing sticky to something like:
ALL EDITING TUTORIALS AND RESOURCES FOUND HERE

Personally, I would separate objects, meshes, mesh skins, and fam textures into their own categories. They really are quite different from one another. Admittedly, that would make for some duplication of site references as many sites have resouces from more than one of these categories. But from the standpoint of looking for something specific, it is easier on the person doing the looking.
Another good reference would be for downloading scripts ... is that already there? I think it should be at a high level in the TOC.
As to leading the blind pigs to the acorns ... well, each new developer will either find it on their own or have to be told, just like now.

That separation has already been done. That was the first thing I did. And I see no problem with duplicating links from one section to another if more than one kind of resource is found at the same site.

I don't recall, but if not I'll add a section for scripts. Might need some help finding links to them all, though. But not yet. When the time comes for that I'll post about it.

I would never ask anyone to do this but it would be nice if there was a catalog like page that listed resources by item type. For example whenever I am looking for a specific object I have to search through every Thief related site for that object. If I wanted to find a valve I could just click on valve and a list of every valve made with thumbnails and links to the page of each one would be shown.

That would be great.

I like the idea too. I think the site should be run by several people, or by everyone like a wiki, so it doesn't grind to a halt when one person's interests change.
