Fix me beautiful

jmph - 19:33 22 June 2020 #

I've gotten a few hundred downloads, which doesn't sound like much, but it's a silly speed game you can play in 5 mins, so I'm actually pretty happy about it. More importantly I'm STILL getting dls today, which is really nice to see considering it came out in 2017. It brightens my day a bit when I check in and see a spike of traffic from somewhere.

BTW I hope I didn't come across as whingy or negative, I really do appreciate the re-host after my last own server went down. Like I said, I'm legit not sure what's the best way to handle something like this. I send people my Demozoo profile when they ask "where can I find other things you've done?" so I just try to make sure all the prod pages link to the right place.

(Pouet is another case because every attempt to bring up the download policy over there results in 50 pages of scenedrama and flamewars.)

@jmph: Well I can't grab anything that gets released but sometimes I come across prods (like your game) where I have a feeling that I should grab it for a mirror. But since I also can't keep track of developent well ... you know. But I now grabbed the 3 versions of the "final" from your site (+ the source) and simply included them into the download :)

jpmh: You're welcome. As for how your words come across, I'm not exactly sure how to interpret your last sentence in a positive manner. But this is Demozoo so negative exaggerations about Pouet are par for the course I guess. Good luck with the game!

Could anyone remove my real name from my profile?

Brittle - 17:09 25 June 2020 #

superogue: Done.

@sensenstahl @havoc

Thanks guys! That's good for me for now. :) The game is "complete" so v1.3 should be final, I'm working on other things.

@havoc - sorry, that wasn't directed at you... I genuinely do appreciate the mirroring, and until a better solution can be found, it's all I've got. The snide remark (which I immediately regretted submitting) was about the 50+ page Pouet drama thread that erupted when the suggestion was brought up to change the SCREENSHOT size, with the end result being "never." I tentatively broached the topic of updating the download links policy at the same time & was given a hard 'no' for a bunch of reasons that will never change. Anyway, that's neither here nor there.

The next time I need to put up a prod on my own, I'm gonna work on having more stable hosting for it.

https://demozoo.org/graphics/277174/ is a dupe of https://demozoo.org/graphics/277152/

Saga_Musix - 12:52 26 June 2020 #

It no longer is!

FuZioN - 20:13 29 June 2020 #

Can I have all screenshots removed from here: https://demozoo.org/graphics/205913/

Thx!

sensenstahl - 15:15 30 June 2020 #

May I ask why?

FuZioN - 20:40 30 June 2020 #

It is a strange request. :)

I wanted to upload some new ones.

sensenstahl - 05:10 1 July 2020 #

Okay, just asking. All gone now (one was still "pending", maybe a wrong format was uploaded so I also deleted it)

FuZioN - 15:03 1 July 2020 #

Thanks mate!

guardian - 17:07 2 July 2020 #

Are these dupes?

https://demozoo.org/graphics/156297/
https://demozoo.org/graphics/156298/

Added in sequence. The image isn't exactly the same

Saga_Musix - 21:39 2 July 2020 #

Pretty sure we need only one of those, indeed. I combined the download links into a single prod.

dma - 09:37 5 July 2020 #

Argh, uploaded NFO to the wrong entry... Please remove it.
https://demozoo.org/graphics/280118/

tomaes - 10:06 5 July 2020 #

Removed. :)

aZtOcKdOg - 00:04 6 July 2020 #

Hey! Could I please request remove screenshots (2x) and info file (file_id diz) from
https://demozoo.org/productions/280158/
(New screenshot to upload and dot diz only viewable when logged in)
Thx

tomaes - 06:39 6 July 2020 #

The screenshots were removed already, the file_id.diz is redundant indeed, so that's gone now too.

phoenix - 22:02 6 July 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/sceners/78913/ and https://demozoo.org/sceners/47650/ are the same guy, they should be merged. FWIW, "BarryE" is the newer handle of the two.

exocet - 09:22 7 July 2020 #

Thanks Phoenix, this is now fixed. The location of BarryE is US I suppose?

phoenix - 20:11 7 July 2020 #

Canada.

Skar - 15:45 8 July 2020 #

Hi guys,

Skar here (https://csdb.dk/scener/?id=13114). I found myself with three ID's on Demozoo. Namely ID's: 90727, 54180, 69237

I started 1986 on C64 as member of The Newcomers (TNC) when Ayatollah/TNC left for the Amiga. (He joined Bitstoppers there and later Quartex, but thats another story.) In 1987 I joined the Amiga Scene and wrote articles for the Cracker Journal without being member of AFL. In April or Maybe May i got busted (thanks to Good Year/Paco Crew btw...)
In 1991 I rejoind the Scene for another three years as BBS-Trader as member of TRSi.

Maybe anyone of you cares enough to melt those three ID's into one. Thx in Advance an Have Fun! :)

https://demozoo.org/platforms/41/ --> "The leading emuilator for C16/+4 is YAPE." --> should be "emulator" without the extra "i".

One complaint about the user interface: to me this looks like a bug, but maybe I'm missing something.

Recent C16/Plus4 releases:
https://demozoo.org/platforms/41/
2nd item is "Kijken...", a picture. At the bottom of the page, one can click "ALL ... RELEASES", which leads here:

https://demozoo.org/productions/?platform=41
But the aforementioned picture is no longer listed :-/

vitalkanev - 15:42 10 July 2020 #

"But the aforementioned picture is no longer listed :-/"
/platforms page lists *all* types of productions (demos, graphics, music, ...)

While clicking on "all releases" link, only demos/games/intros/... for that platform are displayed, *not* graphics (like that "Kijken..." entry) or music.

exocet - 15:43 11 July 2020 #

I agree it's a bit confusing. It would be more accurate to have the button at the bottom of the first page (https://demozoo.org/platforms/41/) say "ALL ... *PRODUCTIONS*" rather than "RELEASES" if we want to stick to Demozoo's conventions.

velusip - 18:35 11 July 2020 #

Can delete dupes https://demozoo.org/sceners/54180/ and https://demozoo.org/sceners/69237/

References moved to https://demozoo.org/sceners/90727/ (It was easiest to keep this most recent entry in this case.)

phoenix - 01:09 14 July 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/productions/228660/
https://demozoo.org/productions/228675/

are duplicates of

https://demozoo.org/productions/187265/
https://demozoo.org/productions/187264/

and should be removed (they're under Epsilon, not Epsilon Design).

menace - 04:53 14 July 2020 #

phoenix: All good.

replay - 15:45 16 July 2020 #

Please, can you merge https://demozoo.org/sceners/522/ and https://demozoo.org/sceners/8326/
I am both :D

Saga_Musix - 17:18 16 July 2020 #

Merged. And while you are here, do you maybe happen to have this lost graphics entry of yours? ;) https://demozoo.org/graphics/7137/

Todi - 20:10 16 July 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/sceners/15032/ & https://demozoo.org/sceners/105202/ is the same person Preed is the early handle, Joker is the one used now

phoenix - 18:12 17 July 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/productions/185654/ and https://demozoo.org/productions/23255/ are duplicates and can be merged (pick one).

menace - 07:30 19 July 2020 #

Todi: Seems someone already fixed your request :)

phoenix: Thanks, merged now!

Ramses - 11:45 20 July 2020 #

Please delete https://demozoo.org/groups/103501/
it's the same as https://demozoo.org/groups/73806/

ericorsio - 20:07 21 July 2020 #

Delete https://demozoo.org/productions/281057/ Mistakenly added as a prod entry. Just added a correct one as a music entry.

phoenix - 16:00 24 July 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/productions/112441/ and https://demozoo.org/productions/209609/ are duplicates, should probably merge into the first one.

100bit - 18:27 24 July 2020 #

Ramses & ericorsio, someone did it before :eyes:
phoenix, done!

havoc - 21:28 25 July 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/sceners/115746/
https://demozoo.org/sceners/115747/

are both aliases of

https://demozoo.org/sceners/3049/

Saga_Musix - 22:07 25 July 2020 #

Both merged.

Mibri - 10:49 28 July 2020 #

Duplicate here: https://demozoo.org/music/280840/
The original (and more complete) version is here: https://demozoo.org/music/280244/

Thanks :)

franky - 17:03 28 July 2020 #

please remove - https://demozoo.org/productions/281456/ added duplicate entry of https://demozoo.org/productions/215932/ as search does not like that many 'small intro' release names.

100bit - 18:17 28 July 2020 #

Mibri, someone did it before :eyes:
franky, duplicate has gone bye-bye

ericorsio - 16:28 29 July 2020 #

Another error: https://demozoo.org/music/281493/ Duplicate of https://demozoo.org/music/6203/

phoenix - 20:03 29 July 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/productions/6714/ is a duplicate of https://demozoo.org/productions/179288/ and can be deleted.

FlashyLamer - 08:36 30 July 2020 #

https://demozoo.org/sceners/8455/ i think its 'meisburger' and not 'meiburger' without the letter s

Brittle - 14:00 30 July 2020 #

@Flashy: fixed.

https://demozoo.org/parties/101/
This results file has 105 votes. However, the "final and true" results, as listed in FCINFO10.TXT in 2ndreal1.zip, has 130 votes. The results file on Hornet (https://hornet.org/party/results/1993/asm93res.zip) also has 130 votes so it was taken from the FC info file. I think the results should be updated to the 130 votes version.

ham - 21:47 30 July 2020 #

I added some music by mistake as if it were a regular production. So I added again that music correctly. But here remains the page of the "non-production" -> https://demozoo.org/productions/281324/

Please, delete it or edit it into a useful page for a new production.

Thanks in advance.

@ham: Thanks for reporting, deleted.
