ForzaHub is now live! Browse and submit Forza community creations!
Hello everyone, you may have seen my previous post about early access. I am happy to announce that ForzaHub.io is now OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! At ForzaHub you can submit and browse community Forza creations, including liveries, tunes, and eventlab. Full support for FH5 and FH6.
Featuring:
- User profiles and favorites! - Logged in users can create a display name which matches their in-game profile for easy attribution of creations. You can also "favorite" submissions similar to bookmarking a website.
- Liveries! Submit your livery creations with photos! You can include a link to a reddit post, imgur album, or discord message and they will be automatically included in the submission. Up to 12 photos can be included per submission.
- Tunes! Create and share your custom tunes! Includes an advanced "bulk submit" functionality for power users to easily bulk upload up to 10 tunes at a time by simply copying and pasting from an existing spreadsheet.
- Eventlab! Similar to liveries, up to 12 photos can be included per submission.
- "Collections" - Create your own "collections" of any number/combination of the above for easy sharing and organization. For example, tune creators could create "collections" of tunes for cars which are used in weekly playlist challenges. No more sharing individual share codes in a reddit/discord post, simply share a single descriptive link.
- "Communities" and Discord integration - This feature was inspired by the great community over at the FCG Discord. Users who sign in with Discord will be able to claim a "community page" for any Discord server they are an admin in. These pages will serve as an introduction to the community and can have links to their various sites/Discords as well as some basic info. Users that log in who are already a member (in Discord) of a claimed community can be automatically added as members to the community, and a badge will be displayed on your profile showing your community affiliations.
- Webhooks - a number of features to support Discord webhooks have also been added. Community admins can create webhooks which will work with their existing Discord servers and can be configured in various ways - such as posting to specific channels when their community members make submissions. It is quite configurable as well, for example you can have more than one webhook implemented, i.e. a webhook which posts to your "liveries" channel only when liveries are submitted, a webhook which posts to "tunes" when tunes are submitted etc. This also works for "threads" in Discord as well and even supports posting with any "tags" that you may have already set up in your Discord channel (tags must be configured by the admin however).
And more!
Currently FH6 submissions are locked. Once early access launches (~12 hours or so from now) it will be unlocked and ready for submissions!
My attempt at getting feedback through early access was not quite as fruitful as I had hoped, so please for any feedback/problems you encounter please reach out to me here, on X as "ForzaHub.io", or email me directly at "support@forzahub.io".
On a personal note:
I want to re-iterate that this is a personal project of mine - my only goal is to create a better experience for Forza players in discovering the wealth of user created content for Forza. There are a great deal of talented and passionate creators for this game and I want to enable them to further their reach and also elevate existing communities to give them wider exposure and hopefully add some value to their existing ecosystems. I have no plans to monetize this site whatsoever. I will never shovel ads to you.
With that being said - have at it! The database is looking a bit empty at the moment so go on and start submitting!
