the ed and joe graphic spam bomb
guys, do we really need those tons and tons of already released material to csdb? I think not.
especially when you don't even upload a file with it. if I want to see your stuff, I'll check the original production. |

Quote: 1. as soon .prg's and .d64's will accompany all those gfx they will count as releases - no more arguments for zyron / tdj.
2. on the group page there should be an ability to sort releases by category (PERFF ARE YOU LISTENING ??? :) and please dont hide the sorting function in the right bar, it should be at the top of the releases in a drop down list.
Your second point reminds me on something... Hmmm, maybe it was this... |

puuuh, that thread went too long for someone with a hangover...
anyway:
@Jailbird: I had the idea of a graphics database as well years back, I'm just too occupied with Pirate's Portal already which in some view is a graphics database anyway.
One thing I would have added to such a 'HVGC' is the possibility to see graphics in different color palettes. Also I found a way to convert pictures into images which look like printed in magazines. Will explain that another day when I'm without headache. (urks) |

Yeah, different kind of screenshots/palettes was in my mind too.
Someone mentioned connecting datas to CSDb (and/or Pouet), a feature that is also on my to-do list: relations to people, projects and events. Extra features could be added later on anyway.
Actually it's not a huge work, the application's skeleton (without any CSS formatting) is mostly done. I'm still hesitating if I should let it completely open or to close the database and have a few admins that would deal with the Db and moderate submissions (as far as I learnt from the actions of several idiots here, it should be at lest semi-closed to avoid intentional deletions or entering inappropriate data).
In case someone is interested in development/help, let me know (although the project goes on very slow at the moment since I'm sadly occupied with a lot of other things).
Help would be apprecaited from:
- people who'd like to do beta testing
- people who'd like to do administration/moderation later on when the site goes fully online
- people who do Ruby on Rails and would like to work on the code (this will be actual once an initial version goes up to a development server and I set up a bug tracking app)
In case you'd like to discuss this idea further, please open a new topic in the "pixelling" area of the CSDb forum. However, I'm afraid that the discussion is still a bit far ahead of it's necessity since I still don't have anything corporeal to come up with. Anyhow, I'll keep you up with the progress from time to time. |

I can do ruby ( eventhough im a pythonista ), subversion + trac should be enough for source control and bug tracking ( if you havent checked trac out do it, the best imho for 0$ out there ) |

would it still have been considered spam if ed would have spread doing all this over several days?
it would have been great to see all the graphics in a collection though. re-using stuff that way doesn't seem wrong at all. =) |

Very nice of you to release a lot of previously unreleased stuff.
However, quite infantile to promote it with trolling in this thread. |

I really enjoy the stuff from Ed and Joe, please don't stop ;) ... Much of my work stuff has been released in HVSC... Maybe lame in a way, one the other hand I like it because of perservatory reasons... Besides some people might like the unfinished stuff... You can even find previous versions of finished tunes among them... If Ed and Joe are just a bit like me... I would feel quite hurt when someone comes with the above mentioned statements eventhough there could be some reason in it... I guess it's all about the perspective... |

A few things to close this off. First of all Drax, if it was up to me all your tunes would be removed from hvsc. That ain't music! There isn't even somebody singing on it!! In my time etcetera etcetera .. ;)
Seriously though: Ed & me had a private discussion about this and I completely understand him now. I originally was under the impression that they just wanted to create entries without actual releases, knowing that the .d64/.prg files will actually be uploaded later makes a huge difference.
Now I still feel that the release date of those binary files should be set to 2007 and not the same as the production they were taken from but that's just my personal opinion .. |
