As seen in the two images below, these mods were developed by more than one person, and show that there are (at least) two mod developers working in collaboration.
This made me wonder if this would make sense to add the same joint-publisher feature to aircraft posts, since there are many aircraft posts that have two or more people actively involved in making the aircraft (or other vehicle).
My idea for this is to have the ability for a user to include one or more users at the top of the aircraft post's page, next to their own username (as shown in the pictures below), and for every user included on the published aircraft's post to receive points for every upvote. Note that the joint-publisher feature would not be limited to just two people.
This is just an idea however, and I'm sure it has its disadvantages/impracticalities.
Thoughts or suggestions? Let me know!
@IICXLVIICDLXXXIIIDCXLVII yep pretty much
@Kangy That could work, something like a survey page you have to fill out with what you did on the plane that would be visible to the public, and also the ability to report planes based on that.
@IICXLVIICDLXXXIIIDCXLVII yes of course, but we've got a valid reporting system.
like maybe make a rule and state who made what on the build
@Kangy But wouldn't it be really easy to "cheat" the verification by giving a low-rank player a code of a plane you uploaded? Would be the same thing as just having a button saying "add co-uploader".
@IICXLVIICDLXXXIIIDCXLVII like the other builder enters a code that the uploader gets
@Kangy How would that work though?
should be doable with a verfication system
so both builders verify that the build is built by the two of them then they get a split of points.
I agree with this guy ↓
This would be cool but I can also see people completely exploiting this...
That'd be a cool lil feature
well this is good for collabs
That would be neat.
Lol I was thinking about the exact same thing while watching a video, it would be so cool addition
@IICXLVIICDLXXXIIIDCXLVII In theory, it wouldn't be limited to just two users. Instead, you could include three or more.
This might cause some issues with this system being used to provide other users with points however, but like I said, this is only a concept, and it probably has its disadvantages/impracticalities.
@TheFlightGuySP The successor system is fairly consistent if you just reupload the plane without saving it first, there's also a better way to make it always work 100% of the time but it could also be used to avoid the system so I probably shouldn't share it.
I'm not sure how mod publisher points work though, is it limited to 2 people? If so it wouldn't be all that useful considering there could be 3 or 4 people who all helped on a plane.
@IICXLVIICDLXXXIIIDCXLVII True.
Although, the successor system doesn't always work consistently, which can be a problem.
And then there's the point issue you mentioned. If the joint-publisher system was implemented, every listed publisher would either receive 15 points per upvote, or the points per upvote would be split evenly among each publisher.
You could already do something similar with successor posts, although whoever uploaded the public plane would still get more points.
