BrawlVault Homebrew App

[Crashouti]

I think the real problem is that most of them are on Mediafire, which doesn't support direct-linking (because ads are their source of income) unless you get pro.

But its impossible without completely revamping the Vault's 9k hacks.

The homebrewbrowser doesn't have to with nearly as many apps, updating is handled manually, and has a distinct format (required xml, png, and boot.dol/elf)

Now, if someone were to modify Opera to be able to download (and add an extracting utlity, likely borrowed from HBB)... that would work. But that is still highly unlikely.

There is one way, but like all others it would be extremely tedious. If you were somehow able to create a network hub for the application to brawlvault, it would be possible to browse it with a sort of built in internet browser. Then you could find a way to have the selected files extracted from their download link, and packaged onto the homebrew channel in the form of Another app that  could be made to sort the hacks in the SD card via SDExplorer. This would have to use 2 separate applications, but I would find it worthwhile

SDExplorer is extremely dated. WiiXplorer is WAY better. Just sayin'.

FTW.

I can stress enough that this a very Hi-Tech idea

Well, I don't think people need to care about getting every single hack in BV compatible with this thing, just have a 'from now on' type option going.

Of course, that's probably not the only problem with this. But it's way better than trying to get every single brawlvault page connected.

Same thing, really. Sure WiiXplorer is better ( I know, I use it), but SDExplorer came first.

But anyways, yeah ths could work, and we don't have to compile all the hacks in. Heck, Netflix has of yet to uplaod half the movies onto the wii streamign, but no ones complained.

[??_?]

And you know...

back converting 9000+ hacks by...
standardizing naming and compression conventions...
re-uploading to a single site...

and ya need someone to code the actual app.

It's not gonna happen --- its far too late in the game to do something like this unless someone is willing to do what I said up above.

Me and Jack had a similar idea awhile back, but it was kc:mm Blog hbc app.  It shows the few latest stuff on the blog, a few pics, and a download that saved in the correct spot on your SD card.

much simpler, but admittedly far beyond me

[Phear-Walker]

It would be cool, but no

[ΔMΆTΣRASU]

i sooo approve :D this deserves alot of attention :srs:
I vote Mediafire as the share site so we dont hav to  wait 45 seconds

[Vyse]

Then you should probably get to work doing what picano mentioned above.

What if KC-MM were to upgrade its memory and bandwidth? How much would that cost? If there was a donation pool, I'd donate.

Maybe that way, we can look to avoid having duplicate posts for updated mods.

[ピカノ]

Maybe, if someone would get a prototype app working, I'd set up something Vault side to assist.

But, many of my reasons against it would still stand.
-No retroactively support unless updated manually. (Either by staff or original user)
-File Packaging / Placement (Either needs to be standardized before upload, require intelligent recognition app-side, or require built in file management)
-Download source
---Dantarion hosts us, you'd have to ask him about prices for storage/bandwidth. Even if Dantarion would host everything (which, he would have with BrawlTex...), I wouldn't want it. No offense to Dantarion, but I'd rather not risk having all the hacks hosted by him; if kc-mm went down for whatever reason, all the hacks would be gone. With the current system, if kc-mm falls, I simply upload my SQL file (~10MB zip) elsewhere. Same goes for any other dedicated hosting.
-As for other sites (mediafire), whoever codes the app would essentially need to make a mini-web-browser.

Thing is, people make cool ideas but don't think about how much work needs to go into them. Yes this is a good idea but.

It's a hopeless fantasy right now. Not entirely hopeless it may be possible but right now its a 70% to 30% chance that this will happen. Successfully anyway
