THE RiPPERS' STASH (Game Rips Directory Ideas)

That sounds great, Klondike. I know a custom format is best; I just can't do it all by myself. I think the first order of business would to make a database schema.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I haven't made any progress here. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing any more. In order to get a successful collection of rip info, a good amount of effort and planning will need to be put into developing a system for managing this information. With so many other projects I'm working on, I simply do not have the time to initiate the creation of such a system.

Sorry to get anyone's hopes up. However, anyone is free to take up the reigns here. Also, this doesn't mean I can't help out in some way.

Nevertheless, I am committed to assist with the GFA project, and being that we plan to have it catalog game rips, it may supercede anything that would come about as the result of this thread.

So does this mean that GFA is in active development again? Because that would be pretty good news.

How ya doing, buddy?

We're trying to get the ball rolling on GFA again, but a large part of this hinges on bobo. Right now we're trying to make it so that staff can handle the development when bobo is not around.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

As I said in your Lemmings PSP gamerip request, I'll have more free time, so I'll be able to continue to script for gamerips' stash website.

First I need update:
- Anonymous submission allowed ?
- Able to register freely ?
- Only me or Kaleb can add new users ?
- Gamerip submission: how to submit. Freestyle or cubed world old-fashioned way ? Or both ??

FELIPE NO

As far as anonymous submissions go, I say they should be allowed, but must be approved by one of us before appearing to the public.

For Gamerip submission, I think both is a good idea. You or I could probably create an easy way to switch between them in the database if we think about it.

As far as registration goes, I'm not really sure...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

even better if you add the download source of the rip. I meant, we could refer to ftp directories here since they are very useful to keep gamerips. Galbadia Hotel hosts a lot of game rips too, though some are bizarre (like untitled, having no proper credit for the ripper, etc)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

what we would need (for the download section) is dedicated mirrors FTP. Which would only host gamerips (with a separate login if they are currently offering FTP service for their own stuffs).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think that could be done. I know there are some poeple who have dedicated rip accounts/servers as is. I might even be able to host some as well, both on kg13.com and my home PC.

How ya doing, buddy?

I would like a "complete list" of game rippers (whether they are still active or not as a ripper).

Sorry if I'm missing anybody in this list ;_; (just tell me with a shovel)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

How many rips must they have completed in order to be in this list?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm guessing you'd really only need one to be considered a ripper..

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'll add a few then:

Equinox
K3nn3dy
Pyocola
Raynor
Thalin
Unagi

FELIPE NO

bishop743
Citizen Solo aka Kureisama (where the fuck is he these days...)
Juno
Mike
Reichu
starerik

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

@Supersonic: k3nn3dy already in the list

@neothe0ne: ..yeah. If there's only ONE ripper that did a certain rip, why not include them as well to avoid multiple request of that rip ?

@Blue_Kirby2: I knew I was missing them in the list.. ^^.... And I didn't know Joe changed his name again -_- thanks for the info.

EDIT:

Maybe I should keep both Darko and Joe Bloggs name, as some rips were done with the Darko name, some with Joe Bloggs (again to avoid multiple entries of the same rip if someone enters a Joe Bloggs rip with Darko name.. ?)

Most amazing jew boots

Actually, they aren't the same person. I had my facts wrong. Sorry for the confusion (I always thought they were...)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Darko and Joe Bloggs are indeed the same person. He has used several online names, and those are two of them. He's also Dogs on Acid (DOA). I've been in touch with him for over a year through IM and other mediums. He's a great guy!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Damn right he is. You would think that he hasn't ripped many games, with the different aliases and whatnot, but they add up to a whopping amount. He has contributed alot!

Citizen Solo aka Kureisama (where the fuck is he these days...)

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. Haven't seen him for well over half a year.

Also, I think we can add Teioh to the list, he just ripped his first game last week.

message to neothe0ne: For the freestyle adding method, is any format ok ? Assuming you'd simply manually type the "composers", "gamerip name", "system", "ripped by" in others text fields, all you would need is to know the format for the tracklist and you can configure foobar to display the files as you wish, right?

[Disc-Track] [Track name] [Time]

... would result of...

[3-01] [Main Theme] [3:10]

... is that ok or I totally didn't get the point ?

What I meant is that after one types in [3-01] [track title] [time], the site will automatically format it into a table and put the items in the right places. But I guess if it just shows brackets, it could work.. it would be separated, just not as visually pleasing.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

... that's exactly what I was talking about, just that I specified that for the moment it would only accept it the tracklisting, all other information will be entered in other text fields.

... I'm somewhat proud of myself up there ^^..... just don't burst my bubble please

EDIT

OK... I think I got what you really mean.

A field for each track like my old website, but you just won't need to separate each column (disc, track number, title, time)...

and it would create dynamically the rip has you enter new tracks..

there, let's add track number 17 from disc 3 as I missed to include it from the beginning.... I feel a bit novice here.

FELIPE NO

@neo: ... so would you prefer separate field for each track, or a big field like my beautiful ascii schema ? One or the other doesn't matter. I just need a GO.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

*bump*

yeah I'm ashamed to use a BUMP, but it's for a great cause !

I kinda NEED AN ANSWER HERE.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I, personally, prefer the big box with parsing goodness.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

A big field would make data input easier as copy & paste of a complete list would work, wouldn't it? If so, I'd also prefer that.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
