Logging In;

To use all the features of MyChorrol, simply login on the forums and wile logged in, open a link to the main site chorrol.com to have access.



My Files:
1.1 Your Folder:
This folder can be used by you to store any wallpapers, screen shots, images or any other things you might want to. 
Don't forget to check the rules at the bottom here to see what is and what is not allowed!

1.2 Your sub folders:
Everyone has 4 sub folders:
- Screen shots; to be used to store any screen shots you might have made
- Wallpaper; To be used to store any wallpapers you might have made
- Fan Art; to be used to store all the fan art should you have made it
- Mods; Here is where you can store all your modifications for Oblivion

In each of your folders you will see the following things:
First a list of all the files inside that folder in a nice list and in this format:

Name of file      type of file    size of file    Status    checkbox

I'll not get into everything there but status and the checkbox are two I wish to elaborate on.
When it comes to mods, the files need to be approved by an admin, editor or mod editor before other members are able to see and/or download them.
The checkbox is there if you wish to delete a file, simply check the box and the press the "with selected" button.
NOTE: You cannot delete files that are either awaiting approval, or that are "locked". A mod file is locked when it's approved and it's placed in the mod database.


1.3 Uploading Files:
Below the files you have a simple overview of how much space you have available, how much space you've used and how much space is remaining.

The default available space should be more then sufficient for most, if not all people. If however you find it too little, feel free to contact one of the admins to request additional space.
NOTE: "locked" mod files, aka mods that have been added to the mod database no longer take up space in your MyChorrol.

Below that overview, you have the actual option to upload files, make sure to fill out everything there else you will not be able to upload a file.
You must specify a name for your file, a file description and of course specify the file you wish to upload.
Then simply press the upload button to upload it.


My Oblivion Mods:
NOTE! MyChorrol is only for Oblivion mods, not for Morrowind mods!
2.1 My Mods:
The first page of your mod control panel, here you can choose to either create a new mod, get help on how to create a mod or get help with uploading a mod.

2.2 Creating a new mod:
NOTE: You must have the mod uploaded to your mod folder on your MyChorrol before you can create a new mod!
After clicking on the "create new mod" option, You're brought to a page where there are several things required:
- Mod name: This is how the mod will show up in the mod database
- Short summary: Will be displayed just below the name in the database
- Homepage (not required): Allows you to link back to your own homepage should you have it
- Detailed description: After clicking on the mod, the person wanting to download it will see this. A place to put a larger description of the content, version history, and some such.
- Categories: By selecting these, you determine in which categories the mod will show up in.
NOTE: There is a maximum number of 5 categories, you can select no more then 5.

clicking next will bring you to the main page for that peticular mod. Again several options here;
- Edit: Using this you can edit the above comments
- Release: Basically the history of all the versions of your mod here. Using the "list command" you can see the previous versions you uploaded and using the "add" command, you can add a new version.
- Screen shots: This is the place to keep screenshots of events in your mod, again the "list" will give you a list of all screenshots uploaded and the "add" command will allow you to upload a new one.

To add a release:
Click on "add" To bring up a menu, with several options:
- Development status; ranging from pre-alpha to mature. It's always nice to know how well developed a mod is before downloading it.
- Level of sexuality; none to full nudity, remember there are minors here so it's nice to be able to keep them from things they shouldn't see.
- Level of violence; Same as level of sexuality, please think of the young adults ;-)
- level of language; Same as level of sexuality and violence, to protect the innocent mind ;-)
- Level of difficulty; It's always nice to know what you're getting yourself into before you start a mod, if you can do it at level 10 or it would be better to wait untill you're level 60 orso.
- Changes/ Release notes; the place to mention any changes in the version, bug fixes and the likes.
- Select a release file; this is where you're able to actually select the mod you wish to add. 
Simply click on the mod, and press upload to have made your mod.
