Bug Description

Having a tournament is nice, but handling the replays is complicated because the users have to upload it somewhere or send it to GunChleoc or other admins.

Uploading as an attachment to a post in the forum would be a possibility once we allow attachments, but the replays will be spread over several sites in a thread then.

So i think we should have a possibility to upload replays on our site. Not sure how this should be implemented:

1. Should uploading be restricted to specific users? E.g. only the tournament organizer will have the right to upload replays?
2. A replay consist of two files. Should we zip them together or should zipping be done by an uploader?

Any other things to consider, or ideas for implementing?

1. If we restrict them, how is that different from uploading to a Launchpad bug?
2. It would be neat if done with an uploader.
3. How about a downloader?

Wiki attachments could also be an option, but we'll have to consider abuse if we allow general zip files there.

Not everybody has a launchpad account, and not everybody is willing to create a launchpad account. Having them in one place is better then spreading them over the web.

No idea what you mean with 'uploader' and 'downloader'.

The wiki would be the easiest thing. We may can check the contents of a zip file if it contains '*.wrpl' and '*.wrpl.wmf'

It would be really neat to have an in-game downloader, for maps as well - that's what I meant. That's a separate issue from this one though.

Let's go with the wiki then, seems to be the easiest solution.

Why not solving this with allowing uploads to the site bug 964452?
