No, we won't add all 1014 sid paths to this db entry. Forget it! ;-)

I had no problems with the tune. Maybe you didn't init the song correctly?

talking about rip protections: try the Pulsar Intro tune on the game Tanium, I managed to get it playing but after a 30 seconds delay only. anyone do a proper one? (hint, hint)

INC_Shark_The: yea, diff ppl, diff prefs. someone else mentioned it already, we should make a neat platform independant frontend for hvsc ;) the naming conventions wouldnt matter anymore then

@others: you can save a lot of time and energy by ignoring a certain complaining crappy composer.

@Nata: If we'd trust CSDB we would get lots of errors. Many people add the credits that are found inside the production. Those credits are often proven wrong, especially when it comes to music in old productions.

So according to you, if we'd rip music from Game Over view, we should set Nata/Protovision as released?
Game Over(view) #33

It's the same with Gamebase, many credits have been wrong, even in original manuals they have been printed wrong.

We try to correct both HVSC, Gamebase, and CSDB when we find something, and on the other way around too!
We've got a lot help from Gamebase and CSDB.

We don't have time time to verify EVERY credit on all products, therefor it's highly appreciated if composers send in their tunes, so we save time from ripping, save time from trying to find out correct credits, and save time from answering on complaining mails.

Burglar: Some people like the first_last sorting, but I've spent a life time sorting last_first, so it's hard for me to change my preference now. :) Majority rules, though, so we'll see if enough come foreward to support this. I suspect that with so many people having the same first name, using surnames to sort on became popular in this world.

Nata: Thanks for the corrections. Do keep in mind that HVSC strives for accuracy but we are not perfect. Think about how many things we got right rather than thinking about the few errors in the update that we can always correct. :)

what hein said.

also, i like the new structure. i was better off downloading the whole new hvsc instead of the update though, as waiting 45 mins for the update-tool to be done didn't seem like an option. =)

shark, I would indeed suggest /R/Rob_Hubbard, /J/Jeroen_Tel, /M/Martin_Galway, /F/Fred_Grey, etc. the name they're known by, for lots of others the handle in an appropriate dir.

if anyone disagrees, they should speak out aswell though

Rough: I believe Steppe means that the Co-Op tune turned out to be identical to Venom_03.sid (and that this was discovered back in update #46, beta 2)

Finally, it was worth the wait. So much work goes into this growing collection, why nitpick on details?

@Steppe: update 2? no,no, just take a look at the file of the current update at the instructions for dir /DEMOS/UNKNOWN a tune called Co-op_tune.sid supplied by Ramos.. it isnt in HVSC

@Nata
Yes. The more difficult a tune is to rip, the more interesting...

@nata: ... sometimes I really think about a rip protection...

Don't! We'll rip it anyway... ;-)

Burglar, for the folder names, we use the name that the composer was most famous for. In cases where the composer used their real name, we then sort on last name. This style is based on how libraries and CD stores sort their music. What do you propose instead, something like /R/Rob_Hubbard?
User Comment
Submitted by Steppe on 21 January 2007
Rough, I thought it was a tune that you submitted, but we didn't include it! :-)
Here's what happened to the Co-op_intro.sid after update 2 or so:

> DELETE
> # same as /VARIOUS/S-Z/Venom/Venom_03.sid
> /DEMOS/UNKNOWN/Co-op_intro.sid

We only forgot to remove it from the script.

@Nata: Don't bother helping out, if you feel that way.
But if others wants to send in tunes, we appreaciate it a lot. That saves us time that we can spend on ripping other stuff.

Steppe: no, you got me wrong, the update46 file says it would put a file DEMOS/UNKNOWN/Co-op_Intro.sid into HVSC but it isnt there.

Yodelking: as I just sent the last update recently I though of the old packs, and yes, I promise: smaller packs for the future 8)

"... "it's not entirely up to the HVSC-crew to go through all new and old releases"

If the HVSC Crew rips the tunes from productions without permission from the composers - WHY NOT?"

he's saying that the least YOU could've done was to supply correct sids to hvsc of your own tunes. you didnt, so dont complain
User Comment

@Rough: If you mean from your last pack, it's still not checked through, due to the size of the pack. :)
They will be added on the next update, and you will get feedback when it's processed.

@Nata: This update was supposed to be released ages ago, but we got delayed. We try to add as little tunes between our internal-beta and the final release, so there's more new tunes missing.
Also, it's not entirely up to the HVSC-crew to go through all new and old releases. Preferable the composers can send in their SIDs with correct credits, to save us time.

great! new dir structure!

bad! you keep the Lastname_Firstname convention for most popular musicians, I cant stand it! ;)

great! thanks for the huge amount of work you guys put in this update (edit;)

Yeah, love the dir structure too!

Hey, why not do such a thing as Last.FM and keep chart of the SIDs ppl are playing by some plugin that connects to a server etc. etc. ;-)
We could use those stats to create the proposed 'lite' version.
User Comment
Submitted by Radiant on 21 January 2007
I agree about the new dir structure being much better as well, but I guess there are quite a few non-sceners who don't. Why not offer a "HVSC Lite" containing only the tunes by Hubbard, Galway, Hülsbeck and Daglish to those people? Then everyone'd be happy. :-P

I like new "dir-tree": just more rational. It's easier to find composer.

Good work. :]
User Comment
Submitted by Steppe on 21 January 2007
Rough, I have no idea (from the top of my head) what happened to your Coop tune. Maybe it was a repeat, maybe it's still lurking in that smelly pile of sids nobody really finds time to wade through... ;-)
I can only ask you again not to send packs of such sizes anymore, it really kills our motivation, as the time required to sort them is enourmous.
I check tonight when I'm home and get back to you via email.

actually there is no point to discuss Coke vs Pepsi.

Coke is fine, Pepsi equals zero.

Although I right now drink Spezi, a Bavarian mixture of coke and orange juice. Great stuff!

and what about that Co-op_tune.sid? Did my computer do a mistake or is it really missing?

Ah, Kewl. :)

I always wondered who did:
\DEMOS\UNKNOWN\Masses_Zak.sid
This nice little tune
is done by somone with skills..
But who ?
User Comment
Submitted by The Shark-INC on 21 January 2007
The new HVSC structure is not unanimously supported by all HVSC members, but it is supported by the majority. After roughly 10 years of debate, the number of votes has shifted for change. The old structure is more suited for those who like a distinction between old and new scene, and has several advantages despite the criticism from newer sceners. Whether you like the new or old structure really comes down to a Pepsi vs. Coke type of debate. In other words, which structure you prefer is highly opinionated. So perhaps the best solution is to offer both views through front-end support as Steppe mentioned in his announcement. Let's hope this happens.
