BaNaNaS vs OpenRA Resource Center

BaNaNaS is a free content service for OpenTTD, offering downloadable game content through its website and the OpenTTD client. Its catalog covers base graphics, sounds and music, NewGRFs, AIs and AI libraries, game scripts and their libraries, scenarios, and heightmaps. Listings can show item names, latest versions, upload dates, licenses, and project sites when provided. The service gives access to the latest content files and retains older versions so save games that use them can be loaded. Users are directed to download content through OpenTTD’s built-in content downloader. Dependency tracking is available. BaNaNaS is described as a volunteer project. Uploading requires users to read the terms and sign in via GitHub; contributors must be authors of the material and use a license compatible with its source material. Uploaders grant the OpenTTD team rights to distribute the latest content centrally and through the website, and to retain older versions. OpenTTD says session cookies are used for authenticated areas such as BaNaNaS, and that it does not use functional or third-party cookies.

OpenRA Resource Center is a free website for sharing maps and other game-related files within the OpenRA community. It supports standard, advanced, and modded maps, as well as missions, for three games. Players can upload a map and select it in a game they host or join; other players joining can automatically download it. Browsing filters cover mod, category, format, parser, tileset, player count, author, and uploader, with search by title, description, or hash. Listings show details including author, uploader, revision, player count, comments, and rating. Users can view revisions and maps with reports, or filter for duplicates, advanced maps, Lua maps, and outdated maps. The Map API supports map downloads and information retrieval by hash or ID, including details for the newest map. Map information is returned as JSON, with YAML available by adding a `/yaml/` URL prefix. The site documents map storage locations for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Sign-in supports local accounts and social login. Upload rules limit submissions to OpenRA-related files and require written permission for another person's work.
