Levelpacking credit...

There is a way to add credit for levelpack?
Back in the days this credit is quite often used in scrilltexts and releases infos...

I think Linking works fine.

I ask this because, nowadays, may happen that one member of a group change/mount a loader, packing levels in a multiload game, but someone else add (links) docs and pic to the main part.
There is a credit for the loader author, a credit for who linked docs&pic, and not a specific credit for who worked around the loader...
I know there are some credits like "code" or "help" but they do not describe the job done at 100%.
Since "level packed" was widely used in the past, i thought it still a valid and usable "credit".

Back in the past Levelpacking was done on real Machines and was time intense, you think with nowadys Batch exomizing a complete 2 sider is done within a Minute or two is worth a single credit ?

I mean the whole process of loader replacing/mounting, which uses exomized/packed files to work...
Should be obvious that the problem is not compress files, but make them work within the game...
O_o
Edit: please don't start a flame on this... I can live without a credit...
Peace & Love.

yeah! (level-)crunching on the real machine!! those were the days!
you started the packer, entered the values, turned the monitor off and let the c64 do the job while you went to sleep/school/whatever....
then after hours you discovered that:
- you missed some of the settings (zp, cli/sei, start addy)
- your mom turned your c64 off
- you forgot the reason why your monitor was off, so you reset your c64 first
- it worked! :)
:P

There was no idea about flaming.

But what you described is indeed perfectly credited with linking.
