Release id #94766 : Defender +6Gfx

Why did you remove my credit for the intromusic ?
Does this mean, that no cracks at all have credits for intro tune ?

Weird, if you ask me..

the credits for the intro belong into the entry for the intro and shouldnt be duplicated in every crack entry that uses said intro. (and no, i didnt do it :))

I removed it, for the reason Groepaz just mentioned.
If your name is in the credits, it would as if you would have done the game music (although there is none hehe)

But do not worry, I will upload a stand alone version tonight with full credits including myself (yeah! :)

The crack release will have a link to the intro by then and all is good again..

And at least the nufli decrunches for quite a while so our names are shown for quite some time after pressing space :)

Unless we would have added some music to the game... right?


Anyway, I think Rambones has a point regardless.

I can understand the cracktro being a entity on it's own. Absolutely. But still, wouldn't it be nice to have intro credits on a crack without having the cracktro itsself linked, per-sé?

In my humble opinion, the cracktro is a part of the crack.
Especially when you'd have a trainer menu intergrated for example (which is not the case here, but for the sake of argument...)

not really.... its mostly a problem of the presentation layer here (eg, credits for the intro could be _shown_ on the crack entry page too). mixing them up in the same entry is bad, because then you dont know what credit belongs to what.

and like said before, there is no need to duplicate that kind of info to tons of releases. having the same intro credits on 500 fairlight or triad cracks is kinda pointless =)

We've done it this way for years here ... intro credits go in the intro entry not the import/crack release entry.

I'm having trouble understanding why this must be brought up every five or six months. Can't people remember simple rules?

@Moloch: "We've done it this way for years here". Besides "It is so, for it is written in the Bible" that's one of the weakest arguments I have ever heard.

@Ignorance: Lol, didn't know you were so sensitive about what abbreviations should be used around these parts of the web. Golden Axe me, because I find crack intro is too much too type =P

I solved this issue with giving a "help" credit for Avatar's previous crack release. Coding an intro for them means helping them, right? :) Of course I'd prefer credit options like "intro code, intro music, intro credits" etc. But please don't start this "didn't you read CSDB crack manifesto?" shit 'coz i did but i don't remember a word. I'm not a cracker after all... :)
