actually, they weren't even part of a credits screen, but an image.

menace - 11:26 6 April 2020 #

OK then, deleted, as you wish, sir.

Dupes from Janeway! (no, not screenshots; via Maintenance UI by selecting platform "Amiga", type "Graphics")

https://demozoo.org/graphics/209278/ is a dupe of https://demozoo.org/graphics/2005/
https://demozoo.org/graphics/213837/ is a dupe of https://demozoo.org/graphics/72293/
https://demozoo.org/graphics/265387/ is a dupe of https://demozoo.org/graphics/88621/

@vitalkanev: All dupes removed.

Hi. Extreme Entertainment (group ID 8883) has got two members called "Macbuster" and "Mac Buster". These are the same person presumably. Please merge! xox

Brittle - 23:42 8 April 2020 #

@mirrorbird: They both the same person/scener. Dupes like these come from the Janeway/Kestra database after we moved/added most of them here.

Anyways, merged. (and ohai mb o/)

Prod 128904: I don't know what to say except that "Lern Asm" was a name invented by the organiser. (That's why it's "lern" and not "learn"...?) It didn't have an actual name... although I can't think of a better one.

This group https://demozoo.org/groups/20787/ is just a typo of this group: https://demozoo.org/groups/5325/

As a consequence:
- https://demozoo.org/productions/57342/ and https://demozoo.org/productions/3125/ should be added to Squirrelz
- https://demozoo.org/productions/30631/ should be merged with https://demozoo.org/productions/209697/
- and the group entry without a "z" should be deleted.

vitalkanev - 14:27 9 April 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/productions/215522/ (per Janeway screeshot) is a dupe of https://demozoo.org/productions/72823/ (per one part of the screenshot via Pouet)?

menace - 06:44 11 April 2020 #

mirrorbird: OK, sooooo. Not sure what to do about that, except perhaps renaming it to "?". I would suggest you add that bit of trivia as a comment on the prod, at least.

slummy: Indeed! Good catch. All fixed up.

vitalkanev: Good catch on your part too. Merging as we speak :)

Can this screenshot please be removed because I mistakenly uploaded the wrong one:
https://media.demozoo.org/screens/o/dd/ea/17d9.264054.png

thanks

Brittle - 00:35 12 April 2020 #

Necros: Looks like it's been deleted (100bit probably did)

dOc.K - 13:50 12 April 2020 #

May you plz. remove the outdated screenschots 1, 3, 5 and 6 from this prod page? https://demozoo.org/productions/277065/
I'd instantly replace them by up-to-date ones that really represent the release state.

menace - 18:55 12 April 2020 #

doc.k: Done.

dOc.K - 19:11 12 April 2020 #

@menace: Is it possible to achieve the right sequence order after uploading the screenshots?

menace - 23:54 12 April 2020 #

doc.k: Unfortunately not. But I can delete it all and you can upload them in the correct order if you want?

dOc.K - 00:08 13 April 2020 #

@menace: plz. do this. I can add all then. :-)

dOc.K - 17:18 13 April 2020 #

@menace: I added the missing screenshots by now. You can remove them all again in order to get them in the right order afterward. :o)

mr.sam - 20:15 13 April 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/productions/67658/screenshots/

pls del screenshots 1-4.
sry. my fault

Saga_Musix - 22:29 13 April 2020 #

They are gone.

https://demozoo.org/productions/tagged/adlib/

It should probably also say in the description that OPL3 supports twice the amount of channels, stereo and more waveforms etc. :)

guardian - 07:31 17 April 2020 #

Hello

I believe these are dupes:
- https://demozoo.org/graphics/39459/
- https://demozoo.org/graphics/185796/

Saga_Musix - 11:53 17 April 2020 #

Yup, cleaned up.

@tomaes: I think we need some tag cleanup there... we have adlib, opl2 and opl3. Technically adlib should be merged with opl2 (who has an Adlib Gold, anyway ;), which case what you said doesn't really apply. We can automatically redirect the adlib tag so that people stop using both adlib and opl2 as tags.

Saga_Musix - 11:54 17 April 2020 #

(and I'm very much in favor of keeping opl2 and opl3 as separate tags because there are so few opl3 gems that I think it makes a lot of sense to make them easier to find.)

tomaes - 15:41 17 April 2020 #

Saga: It's tricky. I guess there's no point in using the (technically correct, but unknown) YM(F)xxx chip names instead. Maybe two tags "adlib-opl2" and "adlib-opl3" (as opl3 is just as much Adlib as 2, even though most opl3 support was in cards from Creative etc. and was overall less known and supported)? Technically, there's even opl4, but I think we agree, that that has nothing to do with Adlib as a brand and company anymore. Keeping opl2/3 distinct, I agree with in any case, as there's a big enough feature gulf between them for the different labels to make sense.

tomaes - 15:45 17 April 2020 #

(also Adlib Gold cards are surpringly popular among retrogamers etc. ;)

s_t_s - 07:06 20 April 2020 #

Hi there !

I added the wrong version of my logo at https://demozoo.org/graphics/277532/ ! I also added the latest version but I would be happy if someone could delete https://media.demozoo.org/screens/o/90/db/9751.265275.jpg

Thank you!

STS

Saga_Musix - 12:22 23 April 2020 #

tomaes: I think "OPL2/OPL3" are much easier to distinguish than the chip names with seemingly random numbers that are in no relation to each other, however we can of course automatically redirect the YM* tags to opl2/3 if we want to, to have one set of consistent tags. Same can be done with redirection adlib to opl2, which I think would be the common understanding of adlib (again: who used an Adlib Gold with OPL3? probably noone ;)).

phoenix - 17:41 23 April 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/groups/50519/ Shadow (atari) is actually https://demozoo.org/groups/47649/ Shadow Productions. I already changed the group of The Wavey Demo but maybe you can merge the members/group affils.

menace - 05:20 24 April 2020 #

phoenix: Merged.

phoenix - 15:02 24 April 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/productions/270828/ Nothing On is a duplicate of https://demozoo.org/productions/146988/

menace - 15:37 24 April 2020 #

phoenix: Thanks, fixed :)

ltk_tscc - 20:11 24 April 2020 #

phoenix: Interesting atari 8bit news... I guess these guys are all from the U.S. then?

phoenix - 22:53 24 April 2020 #

ltk_tscc: Yes. Some were also in DDD (Dungeon Dwellers Design) or Renaissance.

Another fix: https://demozoo.org/sceners/58100/ Blanka and https://demozoo.org/sceners/15848/ El Blanco are the same guy, they should be merged.

ltk_tscc - 10:36 25 April 2020 #

phoenix: Thanks for the info. More atari infos are welcome ;) Merged the other scener :)

velusip - 07:46 27 April 2020 #

What is best approach to merging duplicates? It seems to be the most common error I find, but I don't know what to do with the remaining IDs after the fact so I don't start. Example case: https://demozoo.org/sceners/44069/ https://demozoo.org/sceners/72760/ https://demozoo.org/sceners/30581/ I believe is the same. phd phobia was just PhD ^ Phobia, shortened from Phlum Dumb, and I believe Retro was the most commonly used alias of the three.

pigula - 13:08 27 April 2020 #

Pls delete https://demozoo.org/productions/277750/
my mistake :(

phoenix - 14:41 27 April 2020 #

Merge The Finn https://demozoo.org/sceners/30998/ and TFinn https://demozoo.org/sceners/39964/ , same guy.

exocet - 23:04 27 April 2020 #

Phoenix: thanks, they're merged now.

menace - 06:41 1 May 2020 #

velusip: To merge, we usually move all relevant info over to the valid account, then delete the remaining, empty one. However, we like to be super, 100% sure before we start doing something. "I believe" makes me think it's not a confirmed match, but a hunch - so I would suggest joining our Slack channel and putting it out there. It's amazing how much knowledge exists in the hive mind over there :) We can usually figure stuff out.

mirrorbird - 03:37 2 May 2020 #

music/16074/ is called "Money Invitation" but should be "Money Invation" (even though that's not a word); that's how it appears in the Pouet compo results file. The original PT2 file contains the title "m0n3Y 1nv@t10n" (and the composer Fatal Snipe is spelled "f@7@l $n1p3" in there). Other sites have also misinterpreted it as "Money Invention". But @ stands for the letter a in leetspeak.

Brittle - 17:12 2 May 2020 #

mirrorbird: Someone already took care of it, so fixed.
