No drama. No anxiety. Lots of peanuts... (one day I'll post something useful)

My mind has just been blown by emulation recently

I think "cant wait, hurry up...." and "ouch, I'll have to build a new system... expensive" -
Another amazing two days from tthurman!!! And some of his work over this period:
-
Ta very muchly

Ladies (!?), Gentlemen, and any other assorted wot-nots... please welcome the newest member to sign-up to the project.... *** Wolfman24 *** Whoa, one look at your postings, chap and you got some serious gaming going on there!!! Thanks for showing an interest in contributing to this community project (I've gotta stop calling it that - sounds like a scheme to build parks in under-privileged areas...) All signed up as a contributor, and links to dropbox shares sent.... I'm wondering what's gonna be your bag? Sourcing or producing finals? Maybe a Vector Vigilante? Who knows.... And remember... "Don't go on the Moors...."

Evenin' Adultery.. Basic Q: where does GameTagger pull all its variables from (e.g. Publisher, Developer etc..) - ya know, the ones that you can dynamically use in the xml?? The GE Folder .db3 files or the online database? As per this topic here: http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/14723-database-developerpublisher-names/?p=125649 Many thanks and tootle pip.

OK - checked it out + ignore me!!! You can't just press return in the link box and add another link. Keep on as yer keeping on, tthurman - good system you got going there. Dammit - I knew I'd regret that drunken posting the other night. Sorry KRC - much respect for you and your work Perfect description - lifting that and putting in the OP.... oh, and thanks for the peanut. An icon without an icon?? Sheesh - what happened to branding? Dunno what to do about the no-logos yet - one for community decision - just concentrating at the moment on compiling all sources. What should we do with Developers with no logo? Discuss... In a moment of madness, I just lifted one Scandanavian's individual's face pic off google and had that as the icon! He looked rather pasty and undernourished, but in the absence of any Satchi image... Great participation, fellas!

Ah, so the "verified" db/wip is in reserve somewhere awaiting the right time to publish online? Forgive my ignorance/stoopidity! Secondly, one of the major reasons for doing the logos project was so that I could include images dynamically in Adultery's GameTagger plugin (aside from the obvious further benefits!). That plugin somehow gets the Dev/Publisher/system etc from GameEx - are these values being pulled by GameEx from the .db3 files in the GE data directory? If so, are these updated to include the new, verified Dev names? I realize I'm asking quesitons about what is essentially a very technical/laborious behind-the-scenes process - but just seeking to understand Thanks for the reply

You're thinking of that other fella on here, Daz: Ian McCaskill-er Proper bezel, that
-
Ah, thanks - that clarifies and makes perfect sense now! Guess that's for end result positioning purposes...
-
Ah great, Draco. I'll change the OP at some point to 800x600 - but just one q - probably my being stoopid - but what does "centered" mean? Great practice putting a comment against games you've already searched. I've been doing similar - saying can't find logo ("no logo?") and anything my 'research' had showed up (e.g. 3 games on spectrum - game names etc...). Guess we should strive for consistency, thought. tthurman - could you put future comments against the actual game name in the cells in column (column A)? Right Click > Insert Comment. This allows a thread of comments, rather than just one in the box. Also shows little orange triangle to indicate issues. Lastly - once probelm solved, can choose "resolve" and flag disappears! Great work chaps - and monster session tonight, tthurman!

Hmmm... I was going with the recommendation from the original project of 600px longest edge for a developer image. I was thinking that there must have been some rationale behind this, so stuck with it....

Nice one null, and happy fencing... Be great to have your assistance once more, so once you have a bit of spare time, let me know and I'll re-forward the links. On the bitmap/vector issue. My plan was to enable users just to grab a folder and drop it onto their local machine, with all the logos correctly named in the GE format. This can be for whatever project they are doing (in my case - gonna use it with Adultery's GameTagger plugin). However, because of this, I think it's better to preserve different vector and bitmap folders to ensure end product is essentially 'drag-and-drop' without any user work at the end. Nice one, chaps

Rather it be tight and polished and the devs happy to let it go out rather than rushed and pressured. Funny this I just caught the timer: Am I reading that right? 15 days? Damn time flies when you're meant to be going to the gym.

Oh, you still need me to post the log?
-
Flash - working through the list in the OP now. However, some dev names aren't showing up in the GE online Games Database (e.g. "Team Pineapple") - might be my misunderstanding, but the db your produced that list from is the backend to the online db?? Just curious - don't want to go off sourcing images for the wrong db!
-
Derp - ignore me - the restart did it!
-
Oh yeah - soz - I'll do freash start then launch a few then post the log...
-
Adultery - probably something doing my end, but not sure my "Most played" and "history" are working. Downloaded latest plugin from OP - played a few games, but not registering on my tag page. Just to report back... Oh, P.s. On the "Social Media" links - how about an "Own Website" option?
-
Thanks Draco - heavily kickstarted by your original hard work! UPDATE: Changed the OP (1st post) to hopefully make it all a little clearer (I tinkered with it a bit on others' suggestions since making the OP!)

Update: Few more done this morning:

Ah, null - a three line whip from the missus? Wisdom prevails over folly - good man. Don't minimize the value of what you've done so far, tthurman - what we've got is both useable and invaluable. As for gfx editing, I think it might just take knowing a few tricks. I mainly use magic select, Gaussian blur, cut, pastes, rotate etc - all the basic tools. I know I aint getting gold standard, but once we've done a full set of sources, I shall return to seek the advice of those more ninja'd in the art of gfx.

I see Krakerman's on the board... Welcome, chap!
