- What's the Download Zip field for? Since there's a browse button, I kind of assumed it's so that my zipfile gets uploaded to somewhere on dantom.com so that the game becomes available via Dantom's server. But near as I can tell, nothing was uploaded, and there isn't much of an explanation on that page.
- Login URL: Navigating strictly on the BYOND website, I had no clue what to put for this. I thought perhaps if the above zipfile thing actually uploaded, maybe Dantom's server would take care of unpacking it and making everything happen automagically. But what I got initially in my Hub entry was something like seeker://hub#29 (can't remember exactly), which didn't do much good for trying to actually login to the game. Finally, I fired up Dream Seeker and based on a link waaaay down at the bottom of the hosting details page, headed over to byond://dantom. The introduction there gave me enough information to upload my files and determine the Login URL, but not without a fair amount of hunting.
Once you've done it a time or two, I'm sure all of this makes complete sense, but I just wanted to point out that it's not quite newbie friendly yet. And while I'm just getting into BYOND (finally), I'm not exactly a complete newbie since I know Tom and talk to him on a fairly regular basis about BYOND (albeit not on a very detailed level). I wonder how well a real newbie would fare...
Just some constructive criticism... ;-)
Your questions should all be answered in the next release. The hub, it seems, is more advanced than the current client, so some of the entitites don't work in the current system (like the seeker:// and the zip stuff). This is what happens when we wait to long to put out a new version, but hopefully it will all be worth it.
