Thanks for merging the 2x ‘keyjfreely ^ Gusto / CDN ^ | tlu | scener entries as requested!

Will it break stuff if the URLs were swapped around?

Original entry URL (now empty or deleted)
https://demozoo.org/sceners/53423/

New scener post-merge URL:
https://demozoo.org/sceners/113530/

The older (lower number) URL appears tn the top search results etc: and may be in other spots too.
Is this request impossible / unnecessary or just a non issue?
Appreciate any wisdom and assistance

I definitely don’t want to cause any issues or break prods submitted to parties etc

There is no automatic redirection happening, but search engines will eventually learn that the old URL no longer exists and will not offer it anymore. Any links on other websites pointing to the old page will have to be updated manually, though.

I'm not certain about this, but look at the ZX Spectrum group "Flash":
https://demozoo.org/groups/9303/

I'm familiar with the Russian group (a.k.a "Flash Inc"), and indeed all members are listed as being Russian. However there are also listed some Czech-language demos that don't look or feel the same, such as "Dream Demo 2" and "Demo Distribution". Why would Russians write Czech? Is this a different group called "Flash"?

Wise Man ( https://demozoo.org/sceners/12472/ ) is from Poland. I can't work out how to add a country to a scener. Info source: http://speccy.info/Wise_Man

The platforms for Game Boy (and GB Advance and GB Color) spell it "GameBoy", but it's really two words, "Game Boy".

Thanks @Saga_Musix

So it’s just NOT possible to merge / move

https://demozoo.org/sceners/113530/
back to
https://demozoo.org/sceners/53423/

use of the earlier / lower Demozoo URL number for Australian legacy purposes?

Thanks

Saga_Musix - 18:36 13 November 2020 #

aZtOcKdOg: No, it's not possible. The legacy is in the release dates, not the demozoo IDs. :) Lots of really old stuff has high IDs. :)

These two prods seem to be the same; are they?
https://demozoo.org/productions/23536/
https://demozoo.org/productions/96567/

sensenstahl - 06:50 15 November 2020 #

mirrorbird: yes. deleted the older entry because your addition has more accurate informations.

mirrorbird - 08:18 17 November 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/productions/179310/
Please delete the red/pink lines screenshot -- wrong prod. The other screenshot (cyan) is correct.

Uploaded an image here but it doesn't seem to be working, just shows the animated spinner like the upload got stuck.

Learned not to copypaste when searching for existing stuff. Sorry about that.

Hi... The Synthax 2020 lack of the "Newschool gfx" category

I have no idea if Ericorsio read this, but I wrote a message to Him under "Silly Venture 2020 + 1" topic. Let's try here too:

"Hello Ericorsio! Thanks you so much for the updates, however I would like to ask you to remove this link: https://demozoo.org/parties/4171/ (because it's a bit confusing now) :) Cheers."

AOD - 02:28 3 December 2020 #

please unprotect group: "1572", me foundet that group and i want to still edit here...

phoenix - 16:54 4 December 2020 #

Merge https://demozoo.org/productions/234232/ into https://demozoo.org/productions/10327/, same prod.

exocet - 18:46 7 December 2020 #

Phoenix: thanks for the heads up, they've now been merged.

phoenix - 20:10 16 December 2020 #

Please merge https://demozoo.org/sceners/24084/ and https://demozoo.org/sceners/42733/

phoenix - 20:28 16 December 2020 #

Also merge https://demozoo.org/sceners/28137/ with https://demozoo.org/sceners/24095/

phoenix - 20:32 16 December 2020 #

And yes, https://demozoo.org/sceners/70407/ is most likely the same person as Yello73/Yello '73 above.

Please remove the Doom screenshot. It came in wrongly.
(Wished there was an opportunity to do that on my own.)

This one is a duplicate of 'better' https://demozoo.org/productions/285321/.
Please delete it.

I'll go backwards and fix all the other requests here from recently.

guardian - 09:09 26 December 2020 #

I'm confused by

https://demozoo.org/graphics/61846/

and

https://demozoo.org/graphics/61900/

tomaes - 13:59 26 December 2020 #

guardian: The winner version has stages included. So it's most likely a re-submission, after the author got the feedback from the pre-selection jury/compo team that stages were required.

FlashyLamer - 22:45 30 December 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/sceners/35846/ and https://demozoo.org/sceners/13874/ could be merged then i guess..

menace - 07:37 31 December 2020 #

@FlashyLamer: Not sure I'm comfortable merging based on an "i guess" and with no evidence to the fact. Can you point me to what made you draw that conclusion?

spiny - 19:44 31 December 2020 #

I've added a screnshot to this prod, and i think the upload failed: https://demozoo.org/graphics/288407/

menace - 08:24 1 January 2021 #

@Spiny: I see it's gone now, at least. You may have run into the limitation that a single image can not exceed 10 megabytes. Try recompressing to a size where it is more web-friendly.

FlashyLamer - 19:53 1 January 2021 #

menace: both profiles have a same entry named 'butterfly'. the "screenshot" on https://demozoo.org/graphics/61846/ has vertex's signature on it. (which im sure is antti's handle)

Mibri - 23:39 2 January 2021 #

I think I've just done the exact same thing as spiny did on the screenshot for https://demozoo.org/graphics/288407/ - sorry about that.

100bit - 15:36 4 January 2021 #

Mibri, fixed!
