Game Metadata Manager

Post by Archduke »

We want to make it easier to make changes to game metadata without requiring a new build from studio every time.
Our first step concerns the game metadata images, and a new page called the "Game Metadata Manager".

Metadata images comprise all the images which are used to represent your game on the main BGA site, such as the game box, game icon, banner, publisher images and so forth.

Full details of the new system can be found on the wiki: https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Game_metadata_manager

Any changes to those images in your game repos (the ones prefixed with game_*) will no longer have any effect, and you can update these images without deploying a new build.

If you have any questions, please leave them below! I hope this doesn't disrupt your development flow too much : )

And of course, thanks for all the hard work making games!

Network error with Game Metadata Manager?

Post by Miwarre »

I do not seem to be able to upload images via the Game Metadata Manager.

Whenever I click on one of image placeholders, browse to a local directory, select an image and press OK, I receive an error message starting with "Network error"; the text goes on, but the error just flashes on the screen so briefly I have no time to read more than that.

Just FYI, I am using Firefox (version 100) under Linux Mint 19.

Suggestions are welcome! Thanks.
