Support 7z archives for uploads #46

Open hemebond opened 3 years ago

Really anything should be supported in the long run, random bits and bytes, 7z, images, media, pdf, whatever.

That is a problem. If that really is the end goal (personally not sure it should be) then the website should be set up to support that kind of thing early on.

That was one of the major problems when I thought about the future last year: https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=3593#p3593

Sorry for not being around much and for missing this... :( How integrated is the limitation to zip files now?

My vision was to have a format agnostic "backend" and then have whatever "frontend" might be interesting, e. g. the classic singleplayer maps list, games using FTEQW, QW movies, engines, ... And since people use any kind of format they like there must be no more limitation to specific formats. This would break for the SP maps already, people like to use RAR or 7z for example.
