Link tools used to production
I would love to see this option, which would be just like the ones for intros/sids used in this production.
It's nice to give credits to the authors of the tools we use to make things yes? :) |

Quoting mankeliI don't see why it would be bad for a database to have it in structured form? without knowing the performance characteristics of csdb's postgresql, if badly implemented, the many-to-many queries could cause a (too) high load on the db.
I'm guessing it's being hammered by scrapers quite heavily as it is. |

Perhaps we need a third dimension in UI. Another dimension to use in sorting/browsing data. |

I see your point burg, I will add stuff to production notes from here on.
I see your point about the sql too, I thought modern machines would have such issue dealing with large amount of cross linking, but ok. |

Burg is right about everything of course, but I particularly like mankeli's distinction between active and passive involvement.
Sometimes I do a moderate amount of tech support for someone using one of my crunchers, and other times I have no idea one of them has even been used at all until someone else mentions it in passing.
It'd be nice to know which of the things I toss out into the ether actually make any kind of impact :)
Interesting idea about separate credits for tune and player too - I've already recrunched a few tunes by hand, and have a more general purpose recruncher in the works. |

I’ve done a lot of work fixing up graphic types on C64 Graphics entries here - as I do the same on C64GFX and, honestly, it’s a hell of a lot of work.. that’s why I say in my first reply that I think any additions to the database at this stage will be a lot of work… and while I’d be kinda interested in the database being perfect, I can’t see it ever happening. And as I say, if it ever was (which I doubt), we’d all be gone :’-)
What could be done maybe is simply a side-project for someone not already working on CSDb where a catalogue is made just linking releases to different tools? If that could be fleshed out, maybe then think about whether that data can be merged into CSDb? |

Raistlin, all we need to do is just give a slop-ai bot a csdb account, and tell it to trawl through the PRGs for code fragments of crunchers, loaders, and music routines, and add the credits itself. What could possibly go wrong? |

Most of the tools involved in creating demos leave no trace, being it code or other recognizable data, in the final product anyway. |

Of course. It was very much a tongue in cheek suggestion :p
Even those that do result in embedded code mostly couldn’t be found without running the whole production through an emulator. |

Yes, and speaking of emulators - we don't credit the persons involved in making those in every production in here, even though they were used as a tool in most cases. :) |

I initially thought the whole thread was about linkers, and it made me interested. :) |
