Title: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Vyse on March 04, 2014, 07:43:19 PM
If you have any suggestions for changes to BrawlVault, or if you have any bugs to report, please post them here. If you're reporting a bug, please include a screencap, if possible, along with a description of your actions leading up to the error and which browser you are using.

Posts about incorrect or rule-infringing reports no longer go here. For details on how to bring such reports to the attention of the BrawlVault staff, please see "Challenging Reports" in the "Reporting" section of the features list below.

Thanks to SJS (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?action=profile;u=4128) for providing all of the new graphics.

Quick list of what's new:
  • Actions that were once scattered about as buttons (reporting, adding portraits, etc.) are now located in the Actions dropdown
  • Entries can now have more than one report active at once. To see all reports on an entry, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/showreports.gif) under the type line (not visible if you don't own the entry and there are no active reports on it)
  • Instead of posting here about invalid or rule-breaking reports, you can let the BV staff know about the report by clicking the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/reportReport.gif) to the right of the report in question
  • To view images users have added to a character or stage mod, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/showimages.gif) under the type line. This replaces the "Show CSPs/SSPs" button in old BV
  • BV now supports adding multiple types of images (e.g. battle portraits, stage names) instead of just selection portraits
  • The rest of the changes are self-evident

Features
For brevity, I'll be referring to entries you submitted or on which you are listed as a collaborator as "entries you own."

Searching
You can perform simple searches of the Vault using the navigation bar at the top of each screen. For example, click "Characters," then Mario's icon to view all Mario mods.

To perform more precise searches, click "Search" in the navigation bar. Here, you can specify exactly what you're looking for.

In the "Entry Information" section, the "Exact" checkboxes next to each field will make the search match the contents of that field exactly. For example, entering "Final Fantasy" in the "Audio Source" box without checking "Exact" will return all audio mods whose sources are any game in the Final Fantasy series.

When you select a type of entry on the search screen, depending on the type chosen, the list of subtypes may have "And" and "Or" radios next to it. For more information on this, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/help.gif) on the screen.

While viewing the search results, you can change pages by clicking the numbers at the top or bottom of the page. You can change the sort order by using one of the three buttons (Alphabetical, Newly Added, or Downloads). You can limit the results to more recent entries using the dropdown to the right of the sorting options.

Safe Search

Toggle Safe Search using the button at the top of every BV screen. When this is on, all of your search results are limited to approved entries only.

Viewing Entries
  • The name of the entry is the download link.
  • You can click on any owner's name to view that user's Vault.
  • The Actions dropdown contains all the actions you are allowed to perform related to that entry, e.g. reporting, adding an image, deleting, etc. This dropdown is not available to guests, and its contents will vary depending on your rights, what the owner(s) allow, etc. Details on each of these actions are in their respective sections below.

Submitting
The submission process is largely unchanged from the previous version of BV, but I'll go into detail here for anyone unfamiliar with the process.

To submit to BrawlVault, click this button, available in the navigation bar on any screen of BV: (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/navbar/1submit.png) (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlAdd.php)

Simply fill out the form on that screen with all the information about your mod and click Submit at the bottom to add your mod to the Vault. If your submission is successful, you will be taken directly to the entry on the Vault, and you can immediately start sharing the link wherever you want. Note that until your entry is approved by the Staff, it will be hidden from searches for any users who have Safe Search active, and it will be marked with this icon: (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/statuses/pending.png)

Note that you can lose your submission rights if you make too many submissions that violate the BrawlVault rules (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=51288.0).

Some details about specific fields:
  • Collaborated: Enter the names of other members to share download count and management rights for the entry with those members. Multiple names should be separated by commas. For more details, click the "?" icon on the submit screen.
  • Credit: This is a free-form text box. You can enter whatever you like here; it has no special properties. Use this to credit anyone, including those who are not members of our community, with assistance, inspiration, or providing a basis for your mod. If you have a lot of people to credit, it may be better to include the credit in a text file in the download. If you are submitting a pack, a text file crediting the creators of all included mods must be in the download.
  • Allow others to add images to this entry: This appears only for character and stage mods. Leave this box checked if you want to allow any member of the community to submit supplementary images (selection portraits, names, etc.) to use with your mod. Someone who owns the entry will have to approve any images added this way before they are visible to the public. If unchecked, entry owners will still be able to add images freely.

    For more information, see "Images" in the feature list.
  • Does this entry desync wifi: As it says on the page, this lets users know if your entry causes issues online (not that this matters after May 20, 2014) if all participants don't have it. If your entry uses custom animations, bonesets, etc., then it will cause a desync. Audio and SFX mods will not. If you're not sure, simply select "Unknown."
  • Info Text: Enter any extra information here. Link to your thread on the board if you have one, describe the source or inspiration behind the mod, anything you want.
  • Previews: For more information on submitting proper previews for your entries, see the BrawlVault rules (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=51288.0). Basically, you need up to three pictures or videos for anything except Audio or SFX, an easily accessible audio file or video for Audio, and a video for SFX.

Editing
To edit an entry, simply select "Edit" from that entry's Actions dropdown. You may edit only entries that you own.

The edit page is identical to the submission page, with one addition: if the entry has any active reports on it, you will see something like the following:

(http://i.imgur.com/RJ9lxY1.png)
Editing an entry no longer automatically clears its reports. In order to resolve reports on your entry, you must check their boxes before submitting your changes.

When you submit your changes, a PM will be sent to all owners of the entry, excluding yourself, with details of what you changed. This information will also be visible in the entry's log.

Deleting
To delete an entry you own, select "Delete" from the Actions dropdown. If you accidentally delete something, post here to request the BrawlVault staff to restore it.

Viewing Logs
You can view the history log for any item you own by selecting "View Log" from the Actions dropdown. This log includes edits, deletions, reports, images added, and several other actions.

Reporting
Reporting an Entry

If you notice something wrong with an entry -- broken download, broken previews, improper credit, etc. -- you can let the owner(s) know about the issue by reporting it. To do this, select "Report" from the entry's Actions dropdown.

Note that making multiple reports that violate the BrawlVault rules (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=51288.0) can cost you your reporting rights.

Describe the issue in the window that appears, taking care to not report an issue that's already been reported, click "Submit Report," and you're done.

Viewing Reports
To view reports on an entry, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/showreports.gif) under the entry's type line. If you don't own the entry, this icon will be visible only when the entry has active reports.

Removing a Report

If you own an entry, you can resolve reports on it by editing it. See "Editing" for more information. If you don't own the entry, you can challenge the report, and the Staff will resolve it.

Challenging a Report

You should challenge a report if you see an invalid one on an entry you don't own or if you see one that violates the BrawlVault rules (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=51288.0), even if you own the entry and can resolve the report yourself.

To challenge a report, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/reportReport.gif) icon to the right of the report in question. The staff will be alerted and will take any actions they deem necessary. No further action is required from you.

Images
This is a revamp of the portrait functionality of the previous BrawlVault. It has been expanded to include any kind of interface change that can be made, including names, stock icons, etc.

You can add images to Character and Stage mods only.

Adding Images
To add an image, select "Add Image" from the Actions dropdown. If you don't own the entry and the owners have disallowed adding images, this action will not be available.

In the window that appears, select what type of image you're adding, paste a direct link (i.e. one that ends with an image extension, e.g. .gif or .png) to the image, and enter the image creator's name, if it's not you. Then click "Submit." If you're adding an image to one of your entries, the image will be approved automatically. Otherwise, the owner(s) will be alerted via PM that you've added the image, and they must approve it before it becomes visible to the public.

Viewing Images
To view the images on an entry, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/showimages.gif) icon under the entry's type line. You can use the filter dropdown at the top of the window to show only images of the chosen type.

Approving Images
When viewing images for entries you own, unapproved images will have a (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/approveCSP.gif) icon under them. You can click this to approve the image and make it visible to the public.

Deleting Images
When viewing images for entries you own or images you submitted, you will see a (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/deleteCSP.gif) icon under the image. You can click this to delete the image.

RSS Feed
RSS feeds are available for the Vault as a whole and for any specific user.

To view and subscribe to the Vault feed, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/buttons/rssfeed.png) (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/rss.php) button at the top of the Vault.

To view a user's feed, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/rss.gif) icon under the type line of any of that user's entries, or follow the link on that user's profile.

Dynamic Signatures
BrawlVault can generate an image for you to use as a signature on this or any other forum. Use one of several provided images as a base or upload your own. Use various keywords to display your most recent mod, your total download count, and several other statistics, all of which will update in real time.

To get started, click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/GalleryTest/images/buttons/sig.png) (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/Sig.php) button at the top of the Vault.

Suggestions:

What about changing the currently useless 'most popular artists' with a new one? Something that shows who's had the most downloads in the last month or something like that. It's not that's much more useful, but at least it's more useful than seeing which people have 2-3 items with thousands of downloads and no other items apart from those.

Also, either revert the 10 most recent list to not list music, or make it somehow filter what kind of mods do you want to see in your 10 most recent display.

Fixed that.

I've noticed a bug myself: direct links to entries, e.g. http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=36431, (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=36431,) don't work. Even though they work in the test version. Very curious.

OK, direct links to entries work now.

As for the slowness, I'm aware, as it's pretty obvious. But I'm going to give it some time. It might be a coincidence, or the server might just need time to adjust. I don't want to be hasty and make unnecessary changes.

Edit: The slowdown seems to be gone for me.

Now only SFX hacks seem to be shown in the last 10 list.

Also, there's now no way to expand the lists? There was something before that allowed the lists to display an extended list, not just 10.

It's the "See more stats" link, just like it always was.

It's because of the slowdown, which apparently isn't gone yet. The request to the server is timing out, so it's not loading the details specific to whichever type (character, etc.) you've chosen. Keep trying.

And also, thinking of the request of mewtoo2000, maybe you could change the top ten artists and change it for requests if posible.

Sorry about that, kind of new here.

Haven't had any problems yet, but I wanted to say how clean and fresh this Vault looks. Love that there's a section for custom characters (like for BrawlEx? Project: M Mewtwo hacks?)

Also, props to SJ for the sexy icons.

Do you mean displaying the top ten requests or something? We don't track that in any way.

Post by: Amarythe on March 05, 2014, 12:35:34 PM
Absolutely lovin' the new Custom and Pack sections. Seems my prior request was entertained after all, haha.

Quick question about the pack section: say I compile a pack that is specific to only one character, and not the whole roster. Does it go in the Pack section or it's respective Character section? (I assume Pack) I know it's kind of an obvious question, but I just want to make sure, haha.

Also, I was scrollin' through the Vault today, and I noticed something pretty buggy. Whenever you click a new page ("2", "5", etc), it... doesn't seem to work right. As in, once the "new page" loads, I'm actually just looking at the same hacks as before. After scrolling down a bit new hacks show up though.

Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Mewtwo2000 on March 05, 2014, 01:41:05 PM

Yeah, my bad, for some reason I thought it was on the list titles, not in the middle.

Do you mean displaying the top ten requests or something? We don't track that in any way.

My suggestion for the 'Most Popular Artists' goes like this:

The 'Most Popular Hacks' list is very dynamic. The download count is divided by the number of days since the hack is posted, and that makes either very popular or very new hacks to be on top. As time passes, the list changes and new items pop up.

The 'Most Popular Artists' doesn't say anything, looks like it's listing the hackers with the higher average downloads, but as there's people with one or two successful hacks alone, those are in the list, but when you actually go on them, there's almost nothing to get from them. Of course, the items on that list are always old, and the list doesn't change at all with time.

Instead, it could show a list with the artists with most downloads in the last 30 days, for example. That way, those who are inactive, or those with hacks that aren't interesting anymore will fade out from the list, while the fresh ones will come on top. Also, even if one doesn't post new items, but people are still actually download a lot from that person, he'll deserve to be on top, and people looking for hacks that are downloaded many times will have a list to look on.

Dunno, I guess it would be much more useful than the current thing, in case there's a way to track how the download count for users has increased in the last 30 days.


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Vyse on March 05, 2014, 01:54:14 PM

They are. Sounds like you're not loading all the scripts. Clear your cache.

in case there's a way to track how the download count for users has increased in the last 30 days.
Not exactly. I could look at stuff uploaded in the last 30 days with the highest average downloads, but that wouldn't account for stuff uploaded prior to the cutoff that's still getting downloads. I'd have to add some additional tracking for stuff like that.

As I said before, I think that the number of existing nude mods warrants a NSFW tag or something, which should make them separate.

Also, would it be possible to have the Profile/Private Message/RSS links open in a separate tab rather than on the same one?

We're not really interested in segregating things that way.

Sure

As in, once the "new page" loads, I'm actually just looking at the same hacks as before. After scrolling down a bit new hacks show up though.
Because of how slow it's being, it sometimes takes a while (or occasionally just fails) to load the requested page. You're probably clicking the page number and scrolling down and seeing the same result set you were on before, and eventually the new set finishes loading and replaces the current set, making it look like new stuff is appearing after old stuff.

Or my guess could be completely off the mark. It's hard to say without a screenshot; that's why I asked in the opening post that people include them when reporting bugs.

Popularity has nothing to do with the way the Vault is designed. For characters with custom bonesets, simply use the Custom category.

Don't know if it's just me but on Google Chrome the site doesn't 503 as long as I'm not on the KC-MM tab.

Quick bug notice: After using the "Search" feature, clicking the Back button on your browser (to go to the last page you were on) doesn't send you to the Search page again, but sends you to the page you were on before that. This didn't happen before the update and it's rather inconvenient.

Other comments:
NSFW category is silly, yes. First of all, NFSW means "not safe for work" and you shouldn't be on this site at work anyway. In any case, anybody who runs past a "nude" hack knows exactly what it is they're looking at, There's no need to brand it as something else.

Guys, don't complain about 503's. Just deal with it; they go away after like, 10 or so minutes.
There's nothing they can do about it until the update is finalized, so just chill out for today.

And lastly, about separate category's for Roy and Mewtwo: I can almost guarantee you that the mods will not entertain this suggestion. You're already lucky that there's a new "custom" section in and of itself.

I love the new changes like the top download narrowing searches and the fact that both Downloads and Hack counts are separated from collabs stuff as well... and the menu, so beautiful. I love it.

As for bugs,
Same as everybody, I've been receiving 503 error and slowness. I don't mind it of course, all of these sudden changes explains it...

With Project M 3.0+, many users have uploaded hacks that go only over Project M Mewtwo and Roy. What about adding 2 more character options for them? When I go to Lucario's or Marth's page, I see a lot of Roys and Mewtwos, but sometimes the uploader doesn't specify if they are meant to go over P:M Mewtwo and Roy or Lucario and Marth.

Roy hacks can also go over Marth.
Mewtwo hacks, although sometimes unspecified, should be quite obvious these days. if they arent, always check the previews for character stances.

That doesn't enter into it; that's what the new custom slot is for. If you see a Roy or Mewtwo hack from now on, it's baaaaasically safe to assume it's for Project M.

At the end of the day, Mewtwo and Roy are simply model/bone/PSA edits. There are plenty of hacks in the Vault with these same features, and yet they don't have their own custom slots in the Vault's main hub, no matter how popular they are.

On the very same basis, you could insist that Shadow the Hedgehog deserves his own slot. You can see why that would be a problem.

As a huge P:M fan myself, I get where you're coming from... but the custom slot is all we're going to get. It doesn't matter how popular a particular hackset is, because this site is about hacking Brawl, not P:M.

I don't really know why this happened, because I can edit my other ones with no problem. I don't think it's a "Pending" issue either, because it's not saying pending on it.

Fixed that, and restored your ownership. Thanks.

Quick bug notice: After using the "Search" feature, clicking the Back button on your browser (to go to the last page you were on) doesn't send you to the Search page again, but sends you to the page you were on before that. This didn't happen before the update and it's rather inconvenient.
Resolved this, too.

Pretty sure it does. I just checked it. And I barely changed the code that does it. Try clearing your cache (Ctrl + F5).

Looks like it was reported twice. Probably someone who got impatient with the slowness and clicked "Submit" twice. So yeah, just clear the other report by editing the entry and checking the report's box.

Just wanna say that the new vault design looks and works great, aside from a few minor things I'm sure have been mentioned already.

and the spaces between preview images and the icons.

Assuming you mean the blank lines between the Link, PM, etc. icons and the preview images, those are there because Chrome needed the extra space or it rendered things incorrectly. And it's not always blank; if the entry is pending, deleted, flagged, or featured, there will be status icons there.

If you're just trying it for the first time, it is highly likely you'll need to clear your cache and refresh a few times before everything works properly.

And to everyone saying positive things, thanks. It took over a month of rewriting basically every line of code in my free time after work to get this done, and SJS put a lot of work into updating all the graphics, including redoing them to suit my whims, so yeah. Thanks.

You're right, that kind of visual feedback is important for users. Can't believe I forgot that.

OK, there should be loading bars on just about everything now.

About that empty space: that's one of the reasons using a table to do your layout is bad. It's something I intend to change, but it wasn't nearly as critical as most other things, so it's on the back burner for now.

Amarythe is right. Too many people are complaing about the slowness, or the server issues. That's what happens when a large site like this is updated to such a degree. Just be patient and they will eventually fix it. Complaining constantly about something everyone knows about isn't gonna improve the situation, so lay off of these guys who are working so hard for all of us.

I've updated how downloads are tracked. The number of downloads an entry gets each day is now saved. This will let me implement Mewtwo2000's suggested change to the stats page, if I want. It will also let me provide various statistics such as how many downloads a given entry, user, category, character -- whatever criteria I feel like using -- gets over time. There could be charts in the future. We all love charts.

This also lets us implement the "Little King" award in a new, more interesting way. More info on that here (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=30094.msg1236353#msg1236353).

Click the (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/images/showreports.gif) button and you'll see the reports.

If what you are referring to is to show it on the Submission's page as before: Thing is, at the moment, several reports can be in effect at once.

They went up because I did a lot of test imports into the new tables, including the audio and SFX entries (which were in their own table before), so the ID got incremented a lot.

But those numbers are irrelevant to you and everyone else. Who cares what they are?

The hack is called "Metal Harbor". It's an audio hack and has 49 downloads as of right now. It also, for some reason, doesn't have a "show reports" icon. Help?

When you open a kind of hack (for example, character hacks), the order of the items is wrong, when they're from the same day. I mean, items with the same date are apparently inverted in appearance. Older days appear below, but older hacks on the same day are on top. They don't seem to be listed by ID, which would always keep the correct order and fix it.

I think this is the correct thread for this.
Anyway, I have 5 character mods, one for Marth, and four for PM Roy (listed under custom character). All of the Roy pages seems to be pretty much completely broken.

The download links do not work, and there's no edit button. And when I click my name to view all my mods, it only shows the Marth one. The Marth one's download link and edit button work fine.
The Roy mods worked fine before I listed them as custom characters, rather than Marth mods.

You edited them on the fifth and ran into the same problem this guy (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=66667.msg1235248#msg1235248) and this guy (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=66667.msg1236763#msg1236763) did. I've restored your ownership of those entries.

As for your links, it looks like they're broken because you made them broken. You have things like https//www.dropbox.com/s/nfouti2z5y1twlj/Smash%203%20Master%20Lord%20Roy%20Extra.rar (http://https//www.dropbox.com/s/nfouti2z5y1twlj/Smash%203%20Master%20Lord%20Roy%20Extra.rar) (notice the missing colon after https). Now that you own them again, you can edit them and fix them. (I fixed one myself just to make sure nothing else was broken.)

Also it may just be that I am on iPad or that SJS was editing it, but the edit button doesn't work for me on the iPad. But the add picture button works.

You mean, you want to be able to search for a hack who only has "Texture" as Subtype (Meaning, it'd not show anything with more than the "Texture" subtype, ie Vertex)?.

As for specific characters, there's a drop-down labelled "Target" at the bottom, which would allow you to do just that.


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ on March 11, 2014, 10:37:59 PM
I think there should be an option, so you can see PSA's, Vertexzes, Textures, or none.
I dislike not being able to go straight to the PSA's, and having to search.
Granted, I don't MIND it. It could just be a bit easier, is all.

For example. A dropbox, where it could say
View PSA's
View Vertexes
View Textures

Like how there'es the "View CSP's" and "CSS" and stuff.

Just my idea, not expecting anything big to happen.

I don't know if someone already posted something about this, but for the vault search, if say I search for a character psa hack, then go back to the search, it will only say that it's searching for a character hack (it doesn't list the subtypes), and the only way to get it back is to:

a) refresh the page

or

b) click on the "type of hack", change it to a different type of hack, and then switch it back to whatever type I want to search for.

I know that this is a minor issue, but it gets really annoying if I'm searching for just character hacks of different subtypes and just want to go back and change the subtype again and again.

Did I even explain that clearly enough?

You can do that yourself.

Edit your BrawlVault entry and check the box next to the fixed report.

Replacing them would likely be too much work. Though I'm not sure how difficult adding new emotes would be. Miacis or Vyse would know more about this than I would.

If you have no idea, then you probably shouldn't try and answer for us. .-.
Because adding smileys is quite very easy. Just pop in the new picture, add a code and description and you're pretty much set.

Doesn't mean we intend to add new ones, though. I'm personally quite fond of the current set, and there hasn't exactly been any demand for new additions since the well-known :vyse: smiley.

You can do that yourself.

Edit your BrawlVault entry and check the box next to the fixed report.
Replacing them would likely be too much work. Though I'm not sure how difficult adding new emotes would be. Miacis or Vyse would know more about this than I would.
There was a link on the Vault section that would allow you to make that sort of thing for your signature, but I don't see it anymore for some reason.
It's disabled at the moment. Vyse needs to make them work with the new Vault when he finds the time.
Originally, I found the sig generator by typing "sig. generator" on google, clicked the KC-MM link witch was the first one that popped up.

Thank you everyone for answering my questions. It's just the thought of a sig keeping track of your hacks and D.L. count fascinates me. And now that a take a good look at the smileys, i see they have a kind of charm that says "this feels right".

What about changing the currently useless 'most popular artists' with a new one?

But I believe showing the most popular hack for each category on that day would be the best thing. Kind of like the list of the "King for a day" award, for the current day.

Most downloaded Today:

  • PSA
  • Kirby Hat
  • 2D Stage
  • Character
  • Stage
  • Audio
  • Item
  • Misc
  • SFX
  • Pack

I'd love it if users were still able to see what a hack was reported for without having to click through the slide down menu.
With the old site's format I could see how broken a reported hack was and know if it was fixable or not (for example a texture just being too large to load ingame).
Now if I'm scrolling through I can't tell if a mod was reported for crashing a game or just missing preview images, it makes thing a bit slower if you're browsing reported hacks en-masse.

You don't need to open the dropdown and select "Report" to view the reports on an entry.

To avoid having multiple reports take up a bunch of space on the screen when users might not care about them, I chose to put them in their own window.

Just PM the uploader about specifics if there's an issue. There are many factors on why a model wouldn't work on a character that may involve codes or the PSA you have. Someone cannot be expected to test their hack on every single one. If it doesn't work for Project M or Brawl- or whatever modifications you have, you can always PM the uploader to edit the description to "Doesn't work in ______" In their defense, they shouldn't be expected to do so anyway.

If it doesn't specify, then don't expect it to function outside of regular Brawl. Hackers shouldn't have to worry about other unofficial variations of this game, no matter how popular it may or may not be.

Yeah, I can do that. I just think that it would be easier to look at an icon that says what it does or doesn't work with than have tp test it and PM them if there's an issue. Just my opinion.

Commonly, people add "PM ver", "Brawl EX", "Minus/Plus/vBrawl", "Geko", Riivo", etc. version in their titles and description boxes, and if they don't, it usually means that they expect it to work with every single one. Therefore, the case would be the same if these stamps are incorporated, they would give "an all around" stamp because they expect it to work properly with all options, and yet still get the freezes. You don't expect each hacker to test every single variation of the Brawl mod, right? Plus telling about freezes in certain mod variations will get their descriptions uploaded by the user...

In the end, the description box IS your stamp.

I'd like to suggest something. It'd be pretty neat if we could search for more than one specific thing, or ignore something while searching.

For example, we can search just audio files, and we can search all files. But we can't search all hacks but audio.

We can't also search Characters and Stages, but no PSA, for example.

So, instead of a dropdown box that allows you to either choose one or all the categories, why not have a checkbox that allows you to search any combination you want?

And why do you want to remove the "Most Popular Hacks" list?

*Sigh*

Did I say remove? I said replace. Two completely different things, man. -__-;

First, the Most Popular Hacks list updates only once in a blue moon. You can't tell me this isn't the case, I've checked the vault at least once every day whenever I had the chance. The list more or less remains constant, and only gets new listings whenever a popular hack comes about (see Mewtwo, Greninja, Goku, Shadow, Cloud, etc, for example). I personally think this is a bit ridiculous, and that it should update more often.

Not only that, Brawlbox, a hacking resource which isn't actually a hack itself, has been on that list for eons, owing to it's necessity for hacking Brawl characters in general. I mean, yeah, cool, it has a crap ton of downloads, does it need to be there though, considering it's necessity?

-if not replacing the "Most Popular Hacks", how about replacing the Top Downloads list with a "Daily New Top Downloads" list that updates and lists hacks uploaded on any given day that got the most downloads? The point being that newer hacks get even more exposure beyond just the Newest 10 list, which depending on the day can change very quickly or very slowly.

The point is that neither list today seems to serve too meaningful a purpose as they stand.

Once you choose to search all, it should search for both approved and unapproved hacks...

But it doesn't.

It will only show unnaproved hacks if you specifically choose that. Probably, the "Show All" option for the moderated option is working just like "Show Approved" does.

I'd like to report that the claim that Photoshop CS2 is free, is incorrect. On this forum's "resources" page http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/Resources.php (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/Resources.php) it states that:
Quote
Photoshop - You can get Photoshop CS2 for free just by registering an Adobe ID. Versions above CS2 are not free. Photoshop does the best job at modifying images on a professional level.


This is incorrect. When going to Adobe's website, and logging in with my Adobe ID (which I got for free and anyone get for free by just by registering like any other registration based site, without purchasing any software, and is needed to comment in their forums) and then going to the page to download Photoshop CS2, it says:
Quote
The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.


While they do not put any technical safeguards/copyprotections/drm in place to prevent non-customers who have a free Adobe ID (like I do), from downloading and using Photoshop CS2 and the included serial numbers, they expect that you will follow the rules (a sort of "honor system") and ONLY download this if you previously purchased the software. It doesn't matter that this is hosted on Adobe's own website, instead of a software piracy website. And it doesn't matter that Adobe has officially released an unprotected (no activation required) version of it. The fact is, that if you have not previously purchased the software, downloading it (even from Adobe's own site) is the ILLEGAL act of software piracy. Just because they have no way to check your honesty when you download and use it, does NOT make it legal to download it without having previously purchased it. You might think "it doesn't matter if I download it without buying it, after all it's not a piracy site, it's Adobe's own site, and they'd never post something on their own website that would make themselves vulnerable to be victims of piracy". But that would be incorrect to assume that as indeed they HAVE posted something on their website that DOES make them vulnerable to piracy, and they expect YOU to do the right thing, and to NOT download it if you've not previously purchased it. So yes, if you download this from the Adobe website, and have not purchased it, you have just committed a crime.

So for the sake of keeping everything as legal as possible on the kc-mm forums, I'm requesting that the incorrect claim of free PS-CS2 that is made on the page http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/Resources.php (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/Resources.php) be corrected, so that this site doesn't end up condoning piracy. The last thing that this site needs is to get shut down due to it condoning piracy. Hacking games is already a legal "gray area". Any appearance of known illegal actions like piracy (or condoning such actions), puts this site in serious risk of being shut down by the feds.


Also read this article, in which an Adobe employee is quoted as saying that the idea that Photoshop CS2 is free is incorrect, and that you need to have already purchased it to legally download the no-activation-required version of Photoshop CS2 and associated serial number.

Post by: ABloodyCanadian on June 14, 2014, 02:57:28 PM
I have nothing against this guy since he has in-game previews. Though according to the rules...

Quote
Previews should not show the hack's references from external sources. For instance:
- A hack based on a manga character shouldn't have a picture from the manga in its previews.
- An import from another game shouldn't have a render from said game in its previews.

Can't be helped since it's all one image...


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Vyse on June 14, 2014, 03:05:43 PM
When I wrote that rule, my intent was that pictures of the source shouldn't be the only thing in the preview. If the others are showing the actual mod, that's fine with me, though the source image(s) would still be better suited to the description than the preview since they aren't providing a look at the mod itself.

There's an argument for disallowing anything in the previews that's not a picture of the actual mod, and I'm fine if that's where we end up.

I checked all the contents in this pack.
-Project M Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard with no edits what so ever (you need to do some heavy editing to get P:M PSAs into vBrawl).

With all due to respect to you guys but is a brawlbox render, the other two pics of the presentation image and the 10 pictures of the slideshow that is linked in the pic are not enough previews for you guys? Are you kidding me?  

:srs:
EDIT: and to clarify, im talking about gamidame_k's hack, i can see where the lack of previews applies to the Kirito+Asuna hack because only 1 picture is an actual preview.


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: ABloodyCanadian on August 20, 2014, 04:07:14 PM
BrawlBox Renders are only allowed if it's a Texture Mod. Model Imports will need in-game previews.

The problem lies at the fact that there are preview images of the actual character in the actual anime.

To me, there is a sort of grey area with all these previews, cause my mentality is that it's fine to have these kind of previews if there are other working previews incorporated with it... Which seems to be a mistake on my part...


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Haseyo on August 20, 2014, 04:11:51 PM
Yeah I thought that a picture to show what was attempted was fine as long as an actual preview was on there too (excluding using official Nintendo renders like, Smash 4.) I was going to let someone who's been Staff longer have an opinion on it first.

As a matter of fact, we aren't.

Quote from: Miacis
Changed one of the rules regarding previews.

Previews should not show the hack's references from external sources. For instance:
A hack based on a manga character shouldn't have a picture from the manga in its previews.
An import from another game shouldn't have a render from said game in its previews.

It is a clarification and generalization of the previous rule. If some of your hacks contain previews that include such external assets, please make sure to replace them with acceptable previews.

We can see the date when the when the hack was last edited... but we cannot see when was  it released.


It is a good suggestion, and I'm wondering if its possible to implement a release date to the BV system.

I'd like to make a suggestion.

Please make it so you can disregard collabs when searching for someone's hack.
For example, let's take Beyond. Make it so that you can search just for the hacks he has submitted, instead of the ones he submitted AND is in as a collaborator.

It would be handy, and should be possible, seeing as how the address bar says something different when you say to exclude collaborated mods.

I'd like to suggest another way to post images in threads.

An Insert image botton should make us import an image from our PC/Mac instead of forcing us to upload the image somewhere else, copy the link and paste it here.

It'd be a lot better.

I forgot you could flag reports. <_>

As for two other instances, Corny recently reported a page ago and he falsely reported my Solo Charizard yesterday (but I edited the report out of my submission).

I'll see if I can find any other occurances (I'm on my 3DS, so I'll have to wait until I'm on the computer).

Oh... now I recall, he's Chinga's alternate account.

He's been brought up here multiple times for removing valid reports from his entry, and making various false reports. HerpDerp may be a result of revenge for all the mods that did not make it through with all the rule breaking he did.

Both Chinga and HerpDerp were reported to the global mods. The revocation request is now pending.

Still, @KingofChaos you can point out more instances. Once you get the time of course.

The more the merrier.

Yup, that was the first flagged report I've mentioned. Also, the reports on that entry is what made me conclude that chinga and derp are the same person.

Therefore, when we think about it... both accounts flagged reports can be totalled. We have 6-7 false reports (that we know of) more than enough.

The only thing I could find in the Brawl Vault submission rules about it was this: "Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Anyone found to be plagiarizing another's work will be banned indefinitely from submitting to Brawl Vault.", but he did credit and want to collab the author for it, and said that he was just reuploading it. Also, the Brawl Vault Staff, when reviewing it, can just simply say whether or not it would be legal or not; I mean, they'd get notified of it anyways.

Checked both Tails models, it IS Nanobuds' Tails over Fox, not only because it has Fox's bones, but also since Wolf has more bones than Fox, they added some extra bones to make it fit over Wolf without crashing the game.

According to my last reading the rules, they did, and I didn't read 'em that long ago, so it's a recent change, but you should still show the majority of your changes.

P.S. In my opinion, vertex hacks should need in-game previews, as you can have them look almost identical to a model import.

Nah, vertexes work in-game since its not an import. But normal previewing and tagging rules still apply. Besides, they can be donated.

In my case,
I really believed it was an import, props to the vertexer.

Photobucket also has an extremely low amount of free bandwidth; my account was basically compromised at a time when I had barely 20 hacks (= 60 pictures) on the vault. For the sake of avoiding broken previews, I would not recommend Photobucket by any means.

When photobucket has an bandwidth error, the thumbnails grow bigger... sometimes taking double the submission space.

Solved.

--Delete bump---

Just reminding our fellow pack makers, snipers and BV Staff about another overlooked rule:

-> Every user is allowed to submit a single CSP pack (consisting of images only) of all of their CSPs in a .RAR, then update that submission with the latest additions.
-> People can submit their CSP packs as common5/sel_character, as long as 10 or more characters' CSPs are fully replaced.

Foot note:

-> If the personal additions by the Pack Maker solely consists of things like CSPs/BPs, it's up to the Brawl Vault Staff's appreciation if it's allowed or not.

I overlooked it too, but after a certain pattern I decided to recheck the rules again. Already did my reporting spree. Most were involving the separate images part.

Post Merge: October 11, 2014, 09:01:15 PM
I would like to suggest another work-around for this rule.

A readme explaining how to import the CSP, rather than just a sel_character that still requires knowledge on how importing and extracting on Brawl Box could make the upload a valid one.

I received a PM of a user that said that a BV staff suggested this before hand, and its a pretty reasonable suggestion.

I personally find the No CSP rule kind of harsh.
My entries were fine for a month.
My Pichu for a few Months and today they got Reported.
I don't point fingers, nor complain and moan.

Just an idea of something that may be better, easier, simpler and faster and is in no way meant to be hurtful, rude, bashing on the rules:

I feel if the person has a Read me of HOW to put the CSP's in, and a preview of a few of them.
It should be fine.
I don't think having to put CSP's, CSS in a Sel.Char.pac, only for someone else to take them out, to be logical.
Not everyone has the time to search for the right character ID number and the right CSP to be logical.
If you are like me. You want to see the CSP, be able to right click, save, put it in, boom.
Not search, look, right click, extract, save to a folder, go to another sel_char.pac, find ID, find the folder ypu put the CSP in, import, save.

It kills time and the mood.

However, if you put in a ReadMe of the ID Number, how to do it, and all that, it should be fine.

I personally felt Scout had something against me when he flagged my Entries because of it.
Thank you, btw, Scout for explaining otherwise. -Tilts crown as sign of respect-

I dont normaly do this. But I apologize for being  a bit resetti with your entries, I realized that you might not simply understand what rule is being brokenand my unfriendly formal comment wasn't the appropiate method of explanation.

Lets start this anew alright?

The rule you are breaking is just simply that you are placing anime and or other sources on any area of the preview pictures, to avoid copyright or third party issues this cannot be accepted, even if its fanmade (clearing that out) . What you need to do is compose a preview by only using your hack. Honestly, thats the only thing that its being broken, the rest of the entry is OK.

Now, please don't take reports seriouly and try to not discourage reporters as they have the priviledge to do so.

I know for certain you do not wanna see me again, just don't put sources on the previews and I won't be as annoying as I can possibly be alright?

If you wonder who they are, they are the people who always says ; DO NOT USE WITHOUT PERMISSION or something like that, almost as if they MADE and OWNED the model.  From a quote from the BV Rules :

1: Just to clarify: Permission from the creator of the edited hack isn't needed. As long as you follow the Submission Rules, you're permitted to submit anything without the need of permission.

...yet someone (I will not state who) went @$%/& after me because of that, so I had to redirect him to the BV Rules. So, my question is - if somebody has a copyright trolling notice in his hack's files or description, can they be reported by reasons like, for example  : ''Get rid of your copyright troll warnings.''? If everyone would act as copyright trolls, we could be in DEEP trouble, as the copyright holder is Nintendo (mostly), not the hack's creator.

They never kept their promise, they went pay only and deleted all other images.

Imgur shouldn't.
If everything goes to crap, use TinyPic.
TinyPic seems to be going strong.
If TinyPic doesn't work, use PostImage.

PostImage has always done right, for me.

PostImage (http://www.postimage.org) for png's. (Transparent)
TinyPic (http://www.tinypic.com) for Gif's. (Animated)

I have been seeing a lot of images that were uploaded to TinyPic, and most of those images were deleted. So, I guess if Imgur decides to go from free-to-upload to pay-to-upload, then maybe PostImage will work.

Its irritating yes.
Nothing  we can do about it however, since writting and including a text saying "dont steal" is allowed. As long as the extra content is not a virus, pornoghrapy or anything else that crosses the line it cannot give us reasons to interfere.

But that doesnt mean anything honestly, the rules give freedom to edit whatever mod is stored on the vault, just uncollab the user if he threatens you in deleting the entry.

Post by: Nezha B. Rose on November 12, 2014, 01:43:13 PM
For those who wish more info of the subject, Imgur will delete pictures that have not been viewed for a while, the direct/indirect views such as thumbnails counts. Considering we use thumbnails for our hacks... it bypasses that rule as a form of a loop hole. That is why we never had an issue.

So the following needs to be considered:

Download cards.

 As the views are active for the card only, the previews that the card links do not count unless the card is clicked. The gallery mode displays thumbnails, so all will recieve a view count once the card is clicked.

Seeing how this works is easy to understand why Imgur is not on over capacity yet, and it handles the memory better than most other image sharing websites.

Not to mention that Google Translate is doing not too bad to translate into English. Provided that the poster have mastered their own language and avoid colloquialismes and other weird idioms. And re-checks the result that Google gives as there are mistakes that even a non-native can recognize.

For the record, and despite my bilingualism, this entire post was translated from French (another Romance language) by Google. Only two obvious mistakes were changed by myself. Not bad for an automatic translator, eh?  ;)

Actually, the 2 most commonly spoken languages in the world are English and Chinese. (This is coming from someone who is currently in Mandarin 3)

Spanish, on the other hand, is the 4th most spoken language in the world.

Anyways, I never knew we were allowed to post translations. Do the translations have to be perfect? I was planning on posting a Chinese translation of the rules, but I'm only in Mandarin 3, so my translations might not be as good.

"Perfect translation skills" isn't really a thing that exists. So the more skillful the better.

However, China currently ranks 70th (0.02%) in terms of visits on this website. I don't think a Mandarin translation of the rules will be necessary.

Spanish translation is okay since we do have a bunch of traffic and users from Mexico and other central/south America countries.

I found a bug in Brawl Vault:

I noticed that collaborated hacks show all of the collaborators normally fine, when logged in, but not when a person's logged off of kc-mm. I double-checked this by testing 2 random collabed hacks, in 2 different browsers, which means that people can't get credit, which is much more major of a bug than I initially thought.(I initially thought it was a totally different, non-serious bug.) To see what I mean, you can check any hack that is collaborated by anyone, and then log out and go to the same hack to see that nobody is collaborated.

Post by: Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ on March 23, 2015, 07:44:28 AM
Not all do.
Some freeze, some glitch out like monkey's on drugs.
Yet they work on other mods, like Brawl Minus, Brawl DX and others.

The Hyper Sonic mod freezes when homing attacking. If it connects.
Blaze over Bowser sometimes grabs the stages and flies up into the air, then ends up dying on the opposite side of the stage that she's on, and her Super Form completely fails. Looks like a Bundled Up Giga Bowser, and T Poses alot.
Shadow over DK, when he does his Chaos Control, when he grabs, it instantly kills them.
Pretty sure more happens, these are just recollections that I have found, myself.

This all happens in Project M, mind you.

I told the Project M team my feelings, they ignored.
And I know you'll just disregard this message and not bother adding a new segmant.
I merely feel your comment was wrongish, from my own personal experience.

Not all do.
Some freeze, some glitch out like monkey's on drugs.
Yet they work on other mods, like Brawl Minus, Brawl DX and others.
And some of those mods, like Brawl Minus, may have different bonesets. Project M has all the bonesets be the same, as the regular Brawl palette swaps are not overridden by P:M, and Roy's bones are equivalent to Marth's, and Mewtwo's to Lucario's. So any skin that is compatible with regular Brawl will work with Project M.

I have an idea for an update to BrawlVault. You know how if you own a hack or are a collaborator and someone changes, and you get a PM about it? Would it be possible for something similar with reported hacks?

My idea is that here (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php), where it says stuff like "Newest 10" and "Random 10", there should be an addition that's called "10 Most Recently Fixed" that has a list of the 10 hacks that most recently got reports removed.

Not only would this allow people like me, who search the entire vault and ignore "broken downloads" but want those downloads to be back up without somehow "subscribing" to that specific download, but it would also allow the Brawl Vault Staff to easily monitor any removed reports, so that they can check if they're valid.

Post by: KingJigglypuff on May 14, 2015, 04:33:41 PM
I believe someone requested something similar to that a year or so ago. I think it was shut down because some people would likely constantly "update" their submissions just to keep them on the most recent list.

This. So much potential to be abused.

Some people did a workaround though: I recall some modders making a submission that'd link to their original one and deleting said new submission after 2 to 4 days (Used to grab people's attention to a major update to their old submission, in case my example wasn't clear). We didn't have any issues with users doing that, last I recall.

Just curious. Is there a possibility to code a way to approve/deny a collab?

For example: someone adds me on a collab by tagging my name. I get a PM saying I was collabed in making a mod that I didn't do anything on. I was curious if there was a way to click something that says "yes it's fine that I'm collabed" or "no way. I have no part of this mod."

I don't want to be added to a mod I had no part in making. Someone collabed me on a BRSTM.

You could always edit your collaboration out of the submission and add yourself to the credits or not.

Geez, that could be easily abused. No wonder. No, I wasn't saying anything about updates; I was saying that reports should be tracked, because something like having a download fixed or a freeze fixed or glitches debugged, etc., would be essentially a "Newest Hack" so it should be counted as one...

P.S. If they start abusing that with reports, the thing I suggested makes it so that anyone can see it and report it, maybe even give the person a "Warning" or something for abusing the powers. Cause he can do it anyway, but this way it can at least be tracked.

You can always report the hack for it; I've seen a few hacks reported for not giving credit, so logically, you should therefore be able to report for giving credit where credit is not wanted.(Kinda like taking someone's picture, and he doesn't want his picture taken, he can sue you if you post it publicly)

I just found a glitch on BV. If a collab piece is editted by someone else and then by another person, and person A deletes the info that tells what type of mod over what character, and person B puts it back, you get the info twice. Here's an example of what it looks like, beceause it just happened to one of mine:

Post Merge: May 16, 2015, 09:50:07 AM
P.S. Would there be a way to mention who edits the collabs in the PMs?(e.g. There are people who edit things to give credit to themselves when they never did do any of the work)

In my case, I'm hoping that since whoever it was turned "KTH" from a collabbed person(Like he was on the original hack) to a creditted person was KTH himself, so that I can PM him if that's the case with all of the Smash 3 mods. If not, then I would like to know in my PM who dun it, so that if KTH says something like "What!? Why would I do that!?" I can report the person who changed it to you guys, and you can let him know not to do that. If that's the case. I dunno if that's the case, because I don't know who changed the entry. And I would prefer to know if it was KTH or not before PMing him.

[snip]

If he doesn't want a collab, don't collab, the reason might be that KTH doesn't wanna be collabed for this entry.

Even if they or they not worked directly with mods... they decide whenever they would like to be collabed or not.

KTH recieves collabs with the S3 official submissions because he's an active member. And he wants to keep the collab.

Post Merge: May 16, 2015, 11:44:33 AM
According to the logs, both KTH and Nanobuds removed their slot from the collab spot onto the credit spot so that your mod does not appear on their vaults.

The PM also mentions you who did the change.

Post Merge: May 16, 2015, 11:48:44 AM
Only the collaborated and the BV staff can change those settings. However, the staff usually don't have reasons to apply collabs on mods.

He just PM'ed me back that bit about him getting creditted, and it didn't originally PM me who changed it; it originally didn't mention who did it; it said something along the lines of "A collaboration of yours, Smash 3 Sonic - Minty, Maritime, and Mars, has been edited." Then later my PM somehow changed and I got notified of a PM after I read the original one(This quote is the newer one; I can't get the original one, because it got replaced with this):

No you don't; you can use a temporary account; I know, because I've downloaded a bunch of stuff from there without creating an account, and it only takes like 2-5 minutes max. The only downside(other than waiting) is that they email you afterwards an ad to make an account.

Every download is required ONLY to have to hit download. Accounts or temp accounts, both are unneeded extra actions, which is not what is in the rules.

Any link that requires a user to do anything other than click "download" is not allowed. Sites with timers (e.g. RapidShare) are fine; sites with ads*6 or passwords are not.

Mediafire isn't against the rules because you just need to click "Download" and that's it. Sometimes you need to solve a captcha, but that's because the file is a little big or maybe the Internet is low.

4shared should be against the rules as you require an account to download.

Others are ad.fly, link.bunks and other similar sites, which are practically ads and normally bring viruses and other stuff.

And he has images on all of them!!! Not to mention that this noob reports for "not having in-game images", but only model imports actually need in-game images.(I saw a bunch on the vault that said "no in-game previews", and most of them had no previews, so they at least were legit[more or less], but there were a few that were just textures and had previews in BrawlBox or a renderer. I only didn't report these reporters because I was zooming through all of the mods quickly, so I didn't have time to write down their names or anything.)

what this person is reporing me for is for using a render image for the entry, as far as I know, renders are valid as long as they link to a imgur/photobucket image folder, and it does, now this person keeps reporting my hack because he seems to be unable to click on the render to see the whole imgur folder([url]http://i.imgur.com/sLyhlFn.png[/url])


This is one of the reasons I hate taking requests.

Well, you see, once a mod gets approved to enter the Vault (not having the pending tag) its up to the creator and the community to maintain that link and pictures alive, either by refreshing the link or donating a link via the community support thread.

The BV staff can delete these, especially if a long time has passed while it was broken... but there is still a chance for the owner or someone who has these mods to step forwards and donate their copy of said mod.

But when people upload mods with broken links and pictures, it won't last long.



Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: windhunter7 on May 31, 2015, 08:45:23 AM
So while looking in some older threads, I came up with some re-vamped ideas that are in the spoilers below for the Brawl Vault:

Idea 1:
Idea from here: (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=49842.0)

My revamped idea is to not necessarily have image tags, but to, after you select which character(i.e. You select Character->Vertex->Link when making a character), this new window will pop up in the exact same manner, and will be optional. And this window will have different game companies(i.e. Nintendo, XBOX, etc.; also add "Custom Character" or "Original Character" for characters that don't belong to a franchise and "Other" to t=either create a new franchise in the list or to specify another), then the same thing will happen again, only this next tag will be game series(i.e. Zelda, Mario, Sonic, Super Smash Bros. Series, etc.), then the next one individual games(i.e. Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, etc.), and then finally another on which character.(i.e. Link, Zelda, Groose, Impa, etc.)

I like this idea because I've literally bookmarked practically the entire vault of characters and will later sort it, because people don't use the same naming conventions. So if people name things different things, then you don't know how to search for a specific thing because of too many variables.

For example, if I were to try and find "Skyward Sword Link", I would find it very easily with tags; I could just go: Nintendo->Zelda->Skyward Sword->Link and I would get results, as opposed to that just this one character could be in the vault any number of ways; I've put only SOME of those ways here, just enough to show what I mean(There are MANY more like this):

SS Recolors in title, nothing in description
Link in title, nothing in description
Recolors in title, SS Hero in description
Recolors in title, Link in description
Skyward Sword Hero in title, nothing in description
Hero Recolors in title, nothing in description
and the list goes on and on...

Whereas tags would make searching be like Kayak.com's motto: "Search one and done." Trust me, I HAVE found mods that are obscurely labeled like above; And mine only have the names in the titles, and not the series, so I'm no different either...
Idea 2:
Idea from here: (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=12433.0)

My idea is entirely different and much easier to code:
1) Add an option when creating a hack to label it as "Direct SD" or "Not Direct SD"; same coding as for the Wi-Fi option.
2) This option means that the hack MUST BE direct-SD card compatible, as in you can copy the zipped folder/.rar or whatever to your SD card, extract it, and everything will be in the proper location.
3) Make a program on the Homebrew Channel that can open up a browser to search the Vault, then when links are clicked, the SD card can be used as the "Downloads" location, and then have it program that all zipped folders will extract themselves when the browser is closed.


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: windhunter7 on June 09, 2015, 09:16:43 AM
Seriously, though, could this happen? I'd be happy to code it, and I'll even tag (and say if they're Direct SD or not) most of the character hacks and some of the other ones, since I have those bookmarked.(I wouldn't have needed to bookmark them all and sort them if tags were existent, of course) Seriously, all I need is the code for the Vault Search, and the Vault itself, and I'll do the coding for these two options. I have no idea how to implement it onto the website, though, so I'll just post it here when I'm done, and you guys can update it.

Idea 1
Tagging is one of the next features I plan to implement, alongside a simpler search.

Quote
Idea 2
A "Direct to SD" marker is a good idea. We've already had an idea for a Homebrew app, but it was a lot more robust, and it never panned out. If I did add a "Direct to SD" indicator, a third party should be able to create something simple like you described.

all I need is the code for the Vault Search, and the Vault itself
No.

I should add that the main obstacle to adding both of those features (tagging, "Direct to SD") is inertia. At this point, there are so many entries that would probably never get updated to benefit from these that, arguably, it's not even worth doing them.

Ok. Whatevs. Just lemme know if you want me to assist with labeling the ones that are SD card ready and/or the tags, since I already have almost the entire Vault(In regards to characters) bookmarked, though I haven't sorted all the links yet and I also haven't downloaded them to make sure that they are what they say they are yet. ;)

Like I said above, I volunteer to properly label many of the vault entries, including my own. :) If you don't trust me and don't want me doing that, I would understand that, too, though, of course.

Any progress so far? Also, I have another idea for the "Direct to SD" idea, and that's to have 4 checkboxes, "Direct to SD(Project M 3.5 or Older)", "Direct to SD(Project M 3.6)", "Direct to SD(Gecko[Standard Directory])", and "Direct to SD(Riivolution[Standard Directory])". Thoughts?

Also, I've been doing progress on labeling the characters in the Vault in my bookmarks(So far I've done a few thousand or so[Maybe like 3-4 thousand so far], though I only labeled what they're called or the names of the characters for most of them, and I haven't yet put them in separate folders to clarify which franchises they belong to and stuff; I don't even have them alphabetized yet; only their names as labels), so after I finish it I can give you the list of which links(I'll give direct links) belong to what franchise, etc. You could just allow me to label them, but I'm guessing you probably don't trust me enough for that, but I can still help by giving the list.

Post Merge: July 28, 2015, 09:46:39 AM
I did, however, put in folders to sort them, characters that are only in Brawl/Melee/Smash 64, as well as the other characters(Pokemon and Assist Trophies excluded) and such from Brawl/Melee/Smash 64.(Though, if it's a character that doesn't look like one of those versions, I don't have it in one of those folders; e.g. I have Sm4sh Mewtwo and N64 Mewtwo in the Mewtwo folder of bookmarks that I have, but I intentionally didn't put Mewtwo Y or anything in there)

Post Merge: July 28, 2015, 09:52:19 AM
Btw, if there's a button to search for unlabeled hacks, that could be useful, since I didn't bookmark most of the non-character PSAs, as well as some other hacks that I didn't find useful, though I would label them if this button could be made, since they're very few in number, and there are literally thousands of character hacks.(I know, cause I bookmarked them all) However, I didn't bookmark many of the maps or anything, so even though I'd label some of those, it'd be very few of them.

Post Merge: July 28, 2015, 10:11:45 AM
P.S. Misspelled entries(e.g. this one (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=4809) don't exactly make it easy to search the Vault with only text, especially since it may be hard for people to spell names when searching in the first place)

Also, please make a button for "Creating a Tag" too, like for example, there is not one single Lord of the Rings characters on the Vault at all(Unless it's new), but I'm eventually gonna import some, but it will be at least a few years or so before that, so being able to create tags would be useful for something like that.

Example:

"Create Tag"(Button; click it)
"Franchise/Company"(Checkbox; select it)
Type in "New Line Cinema"
"Series/Universe"(Checkbox; select it)
Type in "Lord of the Rings"
"Game/Episode(If Applicable)"(Checkbox; don't select it)
"Character"(Checkbox; select it)
Type in "Gimli"

And later:
"Character"(Checkbox; select it)
Type in "Aragorn", then in the dropdowns to the right, select "New Line Cinema" and "Lord of the Rings", while leaving the "Game/Episode" dropdown blank.

He is using adfly. However, the link doesn't even lead to the download, it leads to another modding site for a DBZ game.

The download for the mod is in the description of the Vault entry, not in the download button. He is abusing the Vault system and making money off of something illegal.

I highly recommend the mod is overall removed until he fixes the link himself. It doesn't matter that the mod is the #1 one on the Vault. With the legal tensions regarding Project M, it should be removed for the safety of the forums.

Judging by the last edit date, it's been like that for at least the past 6 months. We haven't had any lawyers knocking on our door for that lone adfly link yet.

It's an invalid link and easy to fix. Outright deleting it sounds a bit extreme to me, doesn't it?

Remove it until he fixes it. I'm sure hes not going to do it himself anytime soon. You can do that, right?

Also, the fact that hes piggybacking off the #1 mod spot to make money is pretty scummy. Its old and outdated, and he doesn't even update it anymore. He is just using the rank to make money.

I agree with Nano. It may be a small mod, but it is still using assets from something that isn't theirs and making money off of it, all the while having a false download link that just promotes something else of theirs.

Deleting the hack and then restoring it? We can do that yeah, but it's kinda clumsy.

I personally don't like the idea of hiding perfectly usable hacks (old or not) away from the community, so I'd be more inclined to just edit the proper DL link in and removing his BV privileges until he needs them. (So most likely never.)
Turns out it's the third time since Sep 14 that he's been changing the link to third-party websites. If we "forced" him to fix it, it'd probably be only for a month or two before he'd put the ads back on. So that's not really a fruitful option.

Regardless, I'm leaving it up to the BV Staff to come up with a decision.

it is still using assets from something that isn't theirs

Just because no lawyers have complained doesn't mean it should get a free pass. It could potentially set the precedent of people adding adfly links using this as an excuse. Rules are rules.

If someone has a mirror to it, then that should replace the current link. But if none exists or isnt readily available, then nuke it until one is available.

Supposedly the DL doesn't even give the mod.

He hasn't updated the hack in like 2 years. He's either only "edited" it make it seem more recent or to remove any reports he may have gotten for the AdFly link not leading to the actual hack and then possibly PM-ing them to look at the description.
If he cared about the hack itself, surely he would've updated it for real by now, I mean look at his Super Shadow texture compared to the normal Shadow texture!

"Sure it's just a texture" But for 2015 standard this is lazy, but this was made back in 2013 or something.
Look at the model:

This is not an up-to-date model.

Also with it being the #1 spot this says to newbies that "AdFly links that go to personal websites and having the real links in the description is acceptable here" when it really isn't.

Well, rules say it's not allowed. How the hack is handled is up to the staff's appreciation. The lawyers thing was just, y'know... to explain that there's no emergency here and that no, nobody's gonna get sued for an adfly link. Never said anything about a free pass.

The link in the description seems like a mod to me. There's just a video tutorial file in there that fails to be extracted. If you ignore it, it works all fine.
But yeah, the "download link" is invalid and doesn't lead to a mod. That's exactly why I suggested replacing it. .w.

Now if you'd let the staff come to a collective decision that is more collective than literally just me and KJP right now, they'll get on to it, all right? You can stop reporting the hack now, something's being done about it.

Since Miacis would like a BV Staff to pitch in, I'm suggesting to replace the link with the Mediafire link in the description while having an Admin remove Mastaklo's BrawlVault privileges.

So far Miacis has no objections, but we'll have to wait to get word from Wolfric, Vyse, and the rest of the BV Staff to see if there's any objections.

Not an admin or a mod, but I agree it is better to delete it now.
AdFly can also give viruses even when using AdBlock.

Just tested it and the famous USB virus appeared a while later in my drive.
Might be wrong, but it used to give me viruses so I believe it made it happen.

Fixed the virus already, but that link is just not fine there.

As a former Vault mod, I believe the right thing to do would be to replace the link with the one in the description (provided it is working) and give him some sort of suspension from doing anything on the Vault.

Making money from a false download link is ridiculous. IDK how he has gotten away with this for so long.

I don't think it's fine either to take his hack. Also, the rules state:

Uploading Methods

  • Any link that requires a user to do anything other than click "download" is not allowed. Sites with timers (e.g. RapidShare) are fine; sites with ads*6 ([url]http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=51288.msg1028834#msg1028834[/url]) or passwords are not.


6: This rule applies to the submission's download link, description, and image URL. We, by no means, will allow people to acquire personal gain from their Mods submitted on Brawl Vault.


Why is it fine to make an exception here?


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Miacis on January 25, 2016, 09:16:09 AM
I'm not sure how that'd be an exception? The rules state that it's not allowed (and nobody challenges that). They don't state that the sanction has to be a deletion. The two times he's put a wrong link in there, we agreed to just change the DL link back to its normal state and nobody batted an eyelid about it.

Not that it matters, because the final decision was to have the submission deleted, which I'm also fine with considering he pulled that [censored] thrice.

Uh, it falls under "Submission Rules". I believe it was obvious that the sanction for any submission not following the submission rules is "not approving" which would lead to "deletion" or straight-up "deletion". I mean, what else would the action for not following the submission rules be?

If you still feel like it's not obvious (Which I can see happening; At least it's obvious to me), we might as well update every bullet point to include the sanction, because that's how hacks not following the Submission Rules are supposed to be handled.

I disagree with this. If we deleted every hack that didn't follow the rules, instead of use the Report button as intended, then we'd be deleting probably over half the Vault, because like 50-70% I'd say is hacks without previews. Model hacks for a lot of them. And that would prohibit people from playing with those model hacks. I know this, because I've bookmarked almost every character hack import that looks like it has a working download.(I've only got like 1 thousand left to sort through, which isn't that much, and yes, you'd be surprised how often imports are labeled as "Textures") This is my opinion on the matter, that this doesn't apply to everything. However, when someone is doing something worse than a broken download or a broken image, and intentionally making profit illegally, my opinion changes and I do agree with this, because it's not the same kind of rule being broken. One has to do with general submission rules and how they have no previews half the time, and the other is doing something that actually threatens something happening to KC-MM!

It's different when a hack in the Vault is lacking previews because the links died later on than when a hack is submitted to the Vault without previews. The former would leave it around, while the latter would either a) Never get it approved until the submitter fixes it or B) Get it deleted stating the submitter is free to re-submit it with previews as stated by the rules.

In another scenario, "plagiarizing or submitting a hack with adfly or a site that requires registering an account " would get the hack instantly removed from the Vault, not edited and replaced with a proper link by the Staff. In this Shadow situation, the submitter has re-edited adfly into the DL link 2/3(?) times (Being told each time to not to do it again).

Your post did let me see how wrong my past statement was; I can see how the rules don't strictly mention what's the sanction for each faulty situation, so I take back my previous post.

Slight change of subject: Whenever I add multiple collaborators to a submission, the order of them becomes very different after submitting. This is a minor issue but I thought I'd report it.

Also, I have an idea that will clear clutter from the Vault. Could all submissions that still have a pending tag after one month be moved to a new "Broken" section and out of the appropriate character's BV section? This process could be automated. Blockers for removing the pending tag would include broken links, (possibly no images), or game crashes. Automated messages about the move to the "Broken" section could be sent 1 week, 2 days, and 1 day before the move. This allows the submitter ample time to correct their issues and the hack will still be accessible but not in a way that annoys users. If the submission is rectified after it has been moved, a BV staff member could manually move it to the appropriate section in BV.

Additionally, the pending tag could be reapplied to broken downloads in the future by BV staff and they will go through the same month long period before being moved. It would also be a good idea to apply the pending tag to current broken downloads if this system is implemented.

I realize that this would require a lot of coding to accomplish and probably won't be immediately feasible, but I still wanted to voice my opinions.

Mods are "Pending" for 2 reasons:

1) They are faulty, yes.

2) Vault Staff has taken their time to approve them.

Right now, there's only 7 mods sitting in "Pending", and all of them date from now to 20 days ago. I believe the number isn't cluttering the Vault. In the end, you're free to browse the Vault without having to see the "Pending" Mods. If we go with your suggestion, there'd probably be a few Mods that would be unjustly removed if 2) happens, which is why I don't think it's benefitial to add an automated process to this situation.

Mods sitting in "Pending" at this exact moment are breaking the rules. Before deletion, the submitters are given a good amount of time to fix the issue. We are in no need for more Vault Staff, regardless of them being able to check daily or not.

TL;DR: Pending leads to deletion after a moderate amount of time from being reported. The Staff is keeping eyes on these Pending mods.

I should clarify, the removing clutter portion was mainly referring to the many broken links in the vault that have already passed the "pending" period. My idea will help prevent this problem from occurring in the future.

It's true that the new pending mods are being better reviewed than in the past, but I still think my suggestion would be beneficial to the BV staff and users. Even if a mod was unjustly moved a simple PM to a BV staff member should correct the problem, and the number of unjust moves should be small. The automated removal message can also cite common reasons for removal since the user (likely) overlooked the forum rules. BV staff approval would still be necessary to remove the pending tag but it saves them the time needed to go back and re-review mods before manually deleting them. Correct me if I'm wrong but it should eliminate broken links after being noticed while only adding a small number of false moves. That is also why I wanted a "Broken" category instead of outright deletion. If someone abuses that system by submitting broken hack spam, they can simply be warned.

A new category isn't necessary and would just lead to visitors wondering why we still display "broken" entries in the Vault. "Broken" is also too broad a term; if an entry is marked "broken" because of missing previews, but the download link still works, then anyone who finds it will have to read the reports to figure out why the "broken" status was applied because it's not obvious that "broken" would refer to more than just the mod itself.

Just deleting them is much simpler. If they're broken, they shouldn't be there. If you don't fix your [censored] after we give you plenty of time to do so, it gets deleted.

And no, there's no way to know why an entry was reported, and even if I created a way, retrofitting it to old reports would be basically impossible. So all reports will be treated equally. We have standards -- which aren't even particularly high! -- and we expect you to meet them, whether that applies to previews, download links, whatever.

And only delete the broken downloads ones, while somehow still having the links to them, and make sure that they ARE actually broken downloads?

Again, it's not really possible to distinguish types of reports. When you report something, you just write stuff in a text box. The only way to determine what exactly is being reported would be to create a program that "reads" the report, looking for key words like "download," etc., and that's not going to work. I could create a more robust report system that lets you select a reason for reporting with the option of entering extra details, but that's not going to help all the reports that have been submitted already.

Or, your program could instead delete hacks of whatever you put the links of, "Hire" me(AKA Volunteering) to read every report on every hack that is not deleted, and then I could PM you the list of hacks that have broken downloads, and you could copy and paste that into the program, and then program another program that can email/PM me any time that a hack is reported, so that I can immediately PM any links to you. Because I really, really don't want all the bookmarks of working downloads that I've made(I have literally thousands of them, of [almost] every single character import in existence, about 30-60% have no previews, and about 10-20% have reports for Broken Previews, even if they already have previews) just "Deleted".(I know that the deleted hacks still have links and are just unsearchable via regular searching; but I made a promise to myself that I would remove any bookmarks to "Deleted" hacks, solely for the purpose that being "Deleted" makes it look like they plagiarized or are outdated[i.e. Bad Rigging or stuff like that] or something like that, and obviously I wouldn't make recolors or anything of a plagiarized thing, nor would I do anything with something with bad rigging when there's a version with better rigging, so I'd do anything to prevent that from happening simply because they're reported for something like no previews.)

So I REALLY don't want those "Deleted" just for having no preview pics, which is quite a few hundred, maybe even a few thousand.

"Broken" is also too broad a term; if an entry is marked "broken" because of missing previews, but the download link still works, then anyone who finds it will have to read the reports to figure out why the "broken" status was applied because it's not obvious that "broken" would refer to more than just the mod itself.

Just deleting them is much simpler. If they're broken, they shouldn't be there. If you don't fix your [censored] after we give you plenty of time to do so, it gets deleted.

And no, there's no way to know why an entry was reported, and even if I created a way, retrofitting it to old reports would be basically impossible. So all reports will be treated equally. We have standards -- which aren't even particularly high! -- and we expect you to meet them, whether that applies to previews, download links, whatever.

Again, it's not really possible to distinguish types of reports. When you report something, you just write stuff in a text box. The only way to determine what exactly is being reported would be to create a program that "reads" the report, looking for key words like "download," etc., and that's not going to work. I could create a more robust report system that lets you select a reason for reporting with the option of entering extra details, but that's not going to help all the reports that have been submitted already.
Well, that's why you have a month to remove the report. It's not like your things are going to be deleted immediately. And we have systems in place to flag malicious reports so that the people who submit them can be stopped.

Oh if there is no way to distinguish between types of reports then I'm against Vyse's current idea. It's true that users should keep up with clearing reports but this could lead to inactive user's submissions being deleted for minor but valid issues. And I think I'd rather have a user wonder "why is this Broken section here" than waste significantly more time looking for a deleted submission. I'm fine with renaming "Broken" to something else, perhaps "Unresolved Reports"? This solves the problem of moving clutter from the vault without making functional hacks inaccessible. Deleting all reported items for any reason will cause users to suffer from the OP's laziness.

I think it would be best to start enforcing requirements for in game images but only delete (or move) accepted hacks if the link is broken.

No. The point of programming is to automate tasks so that humans don't have to do them. If we took your approach, there'd be no point in having any program involved at all.

Furthermore, we're not interested in "grading" reports by severity. We do not want to represent any type of infraction as something you can "get away with." We have rules, and we expect our submitters to follow all of them. If you break any of our rules, get caught, and don't resolve the issue in a timely manner, then you don't respect our rules or standards and we don't want your content on our site.

And nothing is deleted forever, so anyone who decides they'd like to follow the rules can update their deleted entry and petition to have it reinstated. There's never a point of no return.

I think I get what he means, though. If something is "Deleted", you'll think it was because there's a newer version or it stole someone else's idea. If something's "Reported" and just removed from the general search, than people will know that it's still valid, but the average person won't go looking for it. So for people like Ebola or me, to just remove the Reported entries from the regular search would make it so that we'd be happy, and others would be happy about the decluttering, but it means that the 2 of us, and others like us, will know that they're still valid, but that they just have broken links or something.

And as for this,

I see 3 problems with that.

The first is regarding broken images. Most of the broken images are because people uploaded the hacks with working images, and then left the site forever without the knowledge that the images would eventually get deleted, because few people actually know about Imgur's timers on their pictures and stuff.

The second is regarding broken downloads. The same thing happens, only at least in that case, the hack just takes up unnecessary space.

And the third is regarding things like hacks that freezes the Wii, because those are "valid reports", but they're not actually part of the submission rules to the Vault in the first place. So reports aren't really for stating which hacks are against the Brawl Vault submission rules; they're mostly about whether or not they're 100%, which is irrelevant entirely to the submission rules in the first place.

True, but this will become an inconvenience to us few users who know the vault well enough to search for old entries when we want to add them. Some of those entries are reported for various reasons. I've made an archive of the stuff I want to eventually add but if the automated deletion of all reported entries is implemented future users will not have access to those entries.

There's already a way to see active reports ([url]http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Reported=1[/url]) without needing to create a new tag for it.

All a new tag does is create a functional duplicate of "Deleted."

Maybe a hypothetical example will better explain what I'm trying to say:
I saw a Link called "Scarf Link" that I wanted to download but it was reported for something along the lines of "scarf is too big" and "broken images." The character is fine to play as and the scarf issue was overstated. I didn't have the room for him at first but I now want to download this hack months later.

It sounds like this character will be automatically deleted now and the submitter is no longer active to fix the reports. Instead of deletion, I'm suggesting moving "Scarf Link" to an "Unresolved Reports" section.

When I click on Brawl Vault -> Characters -> Link, he (along with all the other reported characters) should not show up in this section. Since I know the name of this specific Link I can perform a search for "Scarf Link" and I will be able to find him in the "Unresolved Reports" section. The way I perform my search is to google "scarf link site:forums.kc-mm.com". I use this method to find all of my hacks but I don't believe "deleted" entries show up in this manner.

"Scarf Link" doesn't show up in Brawl Vault -> Characters -> Link due to the reports but I can still find the character if I want him. He had a popular Youtube video so many people will still want to download "Scarf Link."

In short, what I'm asking for removes reported entries from Brawl Vault -> Characters -> Link but still allows me to search for what I want. Either allow the users to easily access the deleted entries via a google search or give us an easily accessible "Unresolved Reports" section.

And it sounds like windhunter7 wants the links to remain the same if a character is moved or deleted.

Actually I may have been mistaken. windhunter7, this will be useful for you too. Apparently "deleted" marked entries CAN be searched by googling: "[character name]" site:forums.kc-mm.com

This makes marking the reported issues as "deleted" less of a concern for me as long as the download link ,BV link, and Google searchability remain intact.

Though I think it would still be good for users to have a more obvious way to access others' automatically deleted entries.

Deleted entries are still accessible via direct link. If the "Scarf Link" video has a direct link to the entry on BrawlVault, that link will still work even if the entry is deleted.

And you can filter any BV search to show deleted entries by appending "&Moderated=-1" to the URL. This isn't surfaced to normal users because the vast majority of the time, it is not useful and would only be confusing.

And if you don't think that sounds confusing, let me tell you, I work in web dev for a living, and I know from experience that people will get confused by anything. I am not just making things up as an excuse to not do them or whatever; I have close to four years of work experience informing my opinions.

Also, we have a system for dealing with bad reports even if the owner of the entry isn't around to resolve it. You can challenge that report, and our staff will look at it and remove it if they deem it necessary. Did you challenge that bad report you saw? Did you use the procedure we already have in place to prevent the problem you think exists?

Then all my concerns are resolved. I'm used to seeing "deleted" as synonymous with "broken link" but that will no longer be the case. I'll make that trade to avoid clutter though. It's also possible that I overestimated the number of people that will want to look at future deleted entries. I now approve.

Thanks for your replies!

You are correct that "your entry should work" is not expressly written in the rules, but is kind of assumed.

My whole viewpoint is that I just don't want them to be tagged "Deleted", as I may use them for stuff like recolors in the future(Where they're "Broken" for not having preview pics, whereas I would have them), and "Deleted" looks like they had their Vault pending failed because of plagiarism. So all I ask is that instead of tag them as "Deleted", just do like Ebola's asking, which I agree with, which is to move them to "Unresolved Reports", which even sounds like a classy title. Not to mention that over 50% of the hacks in the entire Vault have no preview pics, because of users who left and didn't know that their images would get removed, so if someone went around "Reporting" every single one of those with "No Preview Pics", they'd be deleting over 50% of the entire Vault, including model imports. All I want is for these auto-deleted hacks to not have the red dot with the "Deleted" tag, to differentiate those deleted hacks from the hacks that are deleted from the pending-deletion hacks. That's all I want, is to be able to tell which ones are "deleted" from plagiarism, and which ones are deleted for retarded stuff like "Scarf is too big". In fact, if I went and did that with the entire Vault, not only would about 70% be removed from lack of previews, but more than 50% of the remaining 30% would be removed because I would report them as "Crummily done". Well, I got news for you. Not knowing that your preview images will eventually get removed is something that's "crummily done", not something that plagiarizes or something, so it shouldn't outright get deleted. Because if this happened, then we'd only have less than 25% of the Vault left, and it would basically be only model imports.(And only ones that aren't "Crummily done")

Is it really THAT hard to just change the tag to something other than "Deleted"? Because that's ALL that I'm asking you to do.

Deleted entries are still accessible via direct link. If the "Scarf Link" video has a direct link to the entry on BrawlVault, that link will still work even if the entry is deleted.

And you can filter any BV search to show deleted entries by appending "&Moderated=-1" to the URL. This isn't surfaced to normal users because the vast majority of the time, it is not useful and would only be confusing.

Did you use the procedure we already have in place to prevent the problem you think exists?

And I am quite familiar with how the "Deleted Hacks" works, as I had some of them bookmarked, before I removed the bookmarks, and the only reason that I removed the bookmarks was because I thought that "Deleted" meant that they were plagiarizing or something, so I'd never even download it.

And, well, that's what I'm doing, is being persistent about suggesting a change to Brawl Vault. I mean, seriously, all I want is to actually know if a hack didn't pass the pending state or not, as making recolors to the Vault of some of my favorite characters might involve those "Deleted" hacks. And I'm a coder too, you know, so I know how easy it is; basically, you just copy and paste the part that has to do with the "Deleted" tag, and change the name to something like "Unresolved Reports" and change what it's referring to. So I know it's easy, and you're getting a huge complaint from me, and I'd stop complaining if you'd just do the simple task. I mean, it's far less work than the program that automates the deletion of the hacks, I can tell you that much. Besides which, have you never heard the saying "The Customer is always right"?

The short version of this post is that I'm just not going to make a new status for this. Making a functionally identical status to Deleted has no purpose because we can just use Deleted. We do enter a deletion reason whenever we delete something, so what I'm going to do is make that visible to everybody (currently it's only visible in logs, which only staff and entry owners can access) so that people will know the entries were deleted for unresolved reports and not any other reason. If that doesn't make you happy then you can just stay angry.

Now I'll go through this point by point.

First, do not use the word "retarded" that way.

Second, in the interest of transparency, I will start surfacing the deletion reasons that we already enter when deleting an entry. Right now, those reasons are stored only in the log, which is accessible to staff and entry owners only. Entries that get automatically deleted due to this process will have that entered as the reason, and you will be able to see that and know whether there was plagiarism involved, etc.

Quote
Is it really THAT hard to just change the tag to something other than "Deleted"?
No. But creating a new status for this isn't worth the additional complexity. People shouldn't have to learn the difference between "Deleted" and "Unresolved Reports." "Deleted" alone does everything we need.

Quote
You do realize this has nothing at all to do with coding, right?
It has to do with making an intuitive user interface, which is absolutely part of software development. Whether the actual programming is difficult is not the question; the issue is and always was that it's not worth forcing users to learn additional information about how the Vault works in exchange for the little gain that we get.

Quote
Besides which, have you never heard the saying "The Customer is always right"? Well, I'm the customer
You are not a customer. If you were paying me, we'd be having a different conversation. As things are, I have no obligation to do anything. I am a volunteer.

I admit, though, it was techincally a guess, but it was a guess based on me seeing the entire thing.

Hello folks, I'm here for an announcement.

About two months ago, Project M went down for fear of legal repercussions of their modding. It was decided then to temporarily ban new P:M - related submissions from BrawlVault, to give some time for things to cool down a bit and for the former P:M members to submit their works to the Vault. Three weeks ago, we started discussions on how to handle these submissions from now on.

This concerns files from P:M 3.6 and their edits, but also files from the leaked 3.61 dev build, and their edits.
The decision has been made that all the aforementioned files will be treated like any other submissions on BV. What that means is:

  • We do not believe that such files released on BrawlVault consist of a credible enough legal danger to either us, the submitters, or the original authors. At least not more than any other BV submission.
­
  • Submitting edited files from both 3.6 and 3.61 is allowed for everyone, as long as proper credit is given to the original authors, as per usual.
­
  • Former P:M members are free to upload their own work. Starting on the 15th of February, other users will also be able to re-upload those (unedited) works if they are missing from the Vault, with proper credit.
­
  • Like any other BV submission, permission from original authors is not required to reupload or edit these files. Neither the submitter nor the BV staff are obligated to remove a submission with proper credit given just because the original authors ask them to. Although the latter are free to talk it out with the submitters if they disagree with their work being submitted on the Vault, the removal is left up to the submitter's discretion.
­
  • Packs including P:M content follow the same rules as any other packs. They must include some of the submitter's own work. They must include a ReadMe with credit to the authors of all the included hacks.
­
There was miscommunication on my part when we closed up P:M submissions, and it was unclear that authors could still submit their own works during the "no P:M submissions" period. This is why we're giving them two more weeks in case my statement was interpreted the wrong way. After that, anyone can submit P:M files that aren't on the Vault.
 
P:M related entries that were still in wait of approval will resume being published on the Vault starting today.

And you should prepare for me to complain of theft, because that's exactly what this is.

I'm quite sure that, as with any other BV submission, you can submit it yourself and then request that the duplicate is removed OR request a collab (if that person actually did anything, like a recolor or the likes)

And what if the author doesn't want their stuff publically available?

I don't really understand this. Why are you giving us a deadline to upload stolen work? Some of the work isn't even done yet. Please, let the authors release their work if/when they're ready. This wouldn't fly if work was stolen from an individual modder, so I don't see why it's okay just because it was made by the (former) PMDT.

Post by: Large Leader on February 01, 2016, 02:06:50 PM
I agree with Sandfall, none of that work was officially released to the public. I might not agree with many of the decisions made by the PMDT, but this honestly seems like the equivalent of theft. It isn't right.


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Miacis on February 01, 2016, 02:40:46 PM
Theft would be releasing work as your own when it isn't, which is why we do not allow files to be posted without proper credit to the original author.
There have been cases where mods that were not shared on the Vault initially were then uploaded by other people for ease of access to everyone. On the other hand, plagiarists and thieves claiming another modder's content as being of their own making have been systematically removed from the Vault. All we are doing is follow up on the principles that were already established years ago. We are not making an exception for the PMDT.

The leaked files, whether you want it or not, are publicly available already. All adding them to the Vault does is making them more accessible to modders to edit or use on their own.

If you still need to work on WIP files that might get re-uploaded by the 15th, you have all the time in the world to do so. Simply do as Ricky just suggested once the hack is complete, and the duplicate will be removed.


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: nanobuds on February 01, 2016, 02:43:53 PM
That's ridiculous, the  original creator should have the final say if their work is uploaded or not. Your old principles are awful and should be changed.

And yet, they don't.

Requiring "authorial permissions" for submissions or giving creators the right to take down re-uploads (and by that same logic, edits) of their work would add a strong constraint on both active submitters and the staff. It would also give creators a tool to stifle further developments upon their works, which simply goes against the founding principles of KCMM.

All we can offer you is some time to post anything you might have already finished, and the removal of duplicates afterwards. After that, you are free to take it up with the submitters if the situation happens for your own mods, although I would encourage you to be a tad more open-minded and cordial with them.

I'm not going to get into a long winded argument, but I don't agree at all. This is theft, whether you like it or not. Theft also includes taking another's property without their permission, and this is exactly what you're allowing.

Just because you steal a sofa and say "Yeah I got it from the person I stole", doesn't justify your actions. It's still wrong. And if this is the way it's been, it really should be challenged.

I can understand making a mod off of someone elses work when descriptions ays "don't mod it" and they don't reply for weeks or months (or if you're extremely patient, years) when you ask for permission. But the PMDT have said over and over that they don't want their files to be spread any more than what's already been done, and they're still saying that.

Allowing 1-2 weeks for authors to respond to PMs of possible modifications of their work is ample time for them to decide whether or not they want it to happen. It wouldn't stifle progress, nor would it feel like stealing. I've never agreed with the rule that you don't need to ask the author if they say "no modding", and I still don't agree with it now.

Can you please explain why it's okay to upload stolen work that's not even finished yet?

For example, I have an old copy of Mewtwo2000's Mute City. I stumbled upon it accidentally, and it's not something that was intended for the public yet. I'm more than capable of finishing it myself, but it would be "passable" in its current state. Would it be okay for me to upload the stage to the vault (with proper credit), against the original creator's wishes? I'd imagine the answer would be a resounding "no."

So why then, is it okay to upload stolen PM stuff?

Here is my thought, and I don't know if you guys agree or not.

Submitting something and calling it your own is DEFINITELY theft. And submitting any edits of something from the dev build of 3.61 I would consider theft, because the P:M team may not have wanted that leaked, and you're basically editing something stolen. It's like if I were to upload a Smash 3 Sonic recolor, without giving any credit, and then someone else made a recolor of that recolor. That's an analogy of what I mean.

I do think, though, that, since the PM dev team DID release publicly(Not leaked) Project M versions 3.6 and anything earlier, than I'm sure that they're ok with edits to that, with proper credit/collabs, since they were ok with that before with all of the previously-released versions, correct?

Also, would it be possible to make a thread somewhere or something like that that contains a list of who made what P:M character skins? It would make collabing the creators of the P:M models much easier. And it would involve them getting shared downloads, unlike the typical "Credit to PMDT", which I myself have done because I don't know who's behind what.

You don't find any moral qualms at all in uploading stolen work without one's consent? Nothing at all? Even if the creator asks you to wait and let them upload it when they're ready (or when it's finished)?
What if someone hacked my dropbox and decided to upload all of my WIP stages? Would that be okay and allowed on the vault?

Not to be rude or anything, but ALL of the mods on Brawl, even if you made it, is copyrighted by Nintendo, NOT YOU. All model importers are STEALING copyrighted content from Nintendo, be it models or SSBB bone trees. It's like the ones who says "do not use without permission" about their hacks... but I highly DOUBT they got permission from Nintendo to use THEIR models. Isn't it moronic when someone steals from Nintendo or such companies, then warns other people to NOT steal it!?? Jeez, no wonder why the Project M team got a Cease & Desist letter from Nintendo... should I even mention they did the same for the authors of SMBZ?

...so basically, we could say I stole that Diancie model from Nintendo because I did not asked for permission to use it... and it is the same for ALL model imports or edits. In other words, I agree with the BV rules.

Some of the models were made from scratch and didn't use any Nintendo assets until they were imported into the game.

Its the fact that we spent many many hours working on these projects, and we want to officially release them ourselves, and not by some random person who came across the files.

Its more of an issue of morals and respect for the artists.

I agree with Nano. Also, did it not say when loading Project M, something along the lines of,"Legal under use of the GPL(General Public License)"?

Not to mention that both Brawl and an NTSC Wii are REQUIRED for Project M to work(Other than Dolphin, but you literally need both the disc and Wii to create the iso, since it's not anywhere online, I don't think; I've checked like 20-30 various Rom/Iso sites, all of which had lots and lots, even Melee, but no Brawl), and the EXACT SAME is the case for any other mod.

In fact, that's what these "hacks" on Brawl Vault are, are mods. If you wanted the 3D model, you could easily just download it from something like the Models Resource, and that's the same thing you'd get from BrawlBox. It's really no different than Google-searching "Mario" and downloading a picture of Mario. You can use it for a picture, but you won't be able to play with Mario, because it's just a picture. Same way with any Brawl model or any import at all. They just sit there as "images", which a 3D model is(A 3D model is literally a 3D image), not doing anything. You need BOTH the disc AND a Wii to play with ANY Brawl mods. Probably why linking to the ISO on here is specifically not allowed.

Also, FYI, the PMDT never actually did get a C&D; they were just preventing a lawsuit. Not to mention that Nintendo has known about P:M for some time and never even shut it down. I know, because they ban you on Miiverse if you say "PM".(Despite the irony of that one of Nintendo's Dev Teams was called "PM"; I believe it was Metroid, if I remember correctly?) So Nintendo could have done something, but never did. Why? Because Project M never actually competed with Nintendo, UNTIL 3.61. In fact, the PMDT had a lawyer work for them, who does video game cases for a living, and he only had them do that because it was developing into competition with Sm4sh.

I was in a really long talk in another thread on this, so please just check your facts before you say that this is "stealing". This really only has to do with morals and respect, like Nano said.

well, making a custom model from scratch doesnt really give you the rights over it, after all, nintendo characters has their own copyright; following that logic, Sony could put nintendo characters in their games because they made models of said characters by themselves without ripping any model from a nintendo game


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: windhunter7 on February 01, 2016, 11:47:42 PM
Actually, both Nintendo and Nano would have some form of copyright over said character. Nintendo would have full copyright for the ideas(In that case it would actually be a trademark), but Nano would hold copyright because it's "art", and any art has its own individual copyright. And with your example, Sony would have a copyright where they would own the rights to the models, and Nintendo wouldn't be able to steal them.

Btw, Sony could technically do that, in the first place, and maybe even get away with it in court, because of a thing called "Where's the line to where ideas are protected by copyright and considered 'Art'?". Because most ideas are not protected by copyright. Some aren't even protected by anything.(e.g. Labels calling things "HP" for Hit Points or "MP" for Magic Points are examples) And those that are are protected by patent or trademark, which function entirely differently than copyrights. In fact, Nintendo, when they were first starting out, actually won this EXACT type of lawsuit against Universal, because Nintendo made a character, Donkey Kong, that looked like, functioned like, and even was atop a tower that the hero had to climb to, just like King Kong. Even the same name, Kong.(Kong I know for a fact is not copyrighted; it's in so many games, I'm actually thinking it might just be a foreign word meaning "Monkey" or "Ape")

Copyrights(Specifically Video Game Copyrights) are literally the most complex type of laws in the entire world, so I don't expect you to understand them. I don't expect anyone to really understand 'em. Heck, I don't understand some of it.

It's not a clear cut black vs white scenario. You could take an edge case of people hacking into your dropbox. I could answer with authors that prevent people from posting valid hacks for selfish reasons.

The reason we're still going for that approach is because we've never had incidents like the former happen, but we've had creators that did the latter. I can sympathize with the desire not to get your work released before its due date, but considering how rarely that situation has popped up, and how less damaging it is compared to something like actual BV thefts, we might as well do it on a case-by-base basis if that ever happens. It still outweighs the need to check for permissions or the awful idea of giving users the ability to take down edits of their work.

We're making an exception for PMDT members to be immune from reuploads for a period of time. We're adding the possibility to take down duplicates to mitigate the "damage" of WIP files. I'm also discussing with L_L on an idea that could ease things up even further for PMDT members.
Finally, you all seem to be grossly underestimating the power of having a civil discussion with users who re-uploaded your work. If you're just about to release your thing and get the duplicates replaced, I doubt anyone would care much about keeping the WIP on.

But that's as far as we're going to go. We're not going to make even more of an exceptional rule just for the former PMDT.

You really don't because you can't copyright/license copyright-infringing material in the first place.
Copyright is literally the most simplist set of instructions by giving exclusive rights to the holder for use and distribution. Exclusive means they decide what done with their material and no one else.
The only remotely complex thing about copyrights is the Fair Use exception, which mods do not fall under.

This is missing the point entirely -_-

Let me try again:

Mods that are obtained in a dishonest manner (i.e. without the creator releasing them first), should not be allowed on the vault. This would apply to everyone, not just the PMDT.

No modder would appreciate their unfinished work being posted if it were leaked/stolen. It utterly baffles me that submissions of stolen work would even be allowed here.

I actually have an example of what Sandfall means:

Before this hack of mine (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=209890) was released, it was a WIP, because I was trying to figure out how to make the Metals work. The person who requested it asked for the DL link of the unfinished version, and, without asking me first, uploaded it to the Vault without my permission. (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=209870) He added me as a collaborator, which I was at least happy about, because I did create the model import, so I get downloads from it.

Note: I could've requested it be removed if I wanted, or just plain edited it to remove the DL link or re-direct it to my DL link, but I didn't, because I wasn't mad at him for it, and the reason is that I saw that he appreciated my work. Do note, though, that this was only an example of the type of thing that Sandfall was talking about, just to prove his point.

Yeah, I guess the former has never happened because someone took stuff from our SVN, not a dropbox, and they gained their access through trust instead of hacking. Darn. You got us. Those are totally different situations.

This is exactly the kind of theft you just described, and you know it, and you have the power to do something about it, and you're choosing not to. There's no slippery slope here. You could do well known and liked artists a solid, but instead, you're letting them down.

Your word doesn't have much merit around here, it seems. Dunno why you're so persistent.

The fact of the matter is that the entire thing is rather shady, whether the leaked stuff is already circulating or not. While the ex-members of the PMDT who posted here are rather helpless in stopping the circulation of said leaked content, it doesn't mean that having them made publicly downloadable HERE isn't shady as well. It's all a mess honestly.

I sympathize with the PM peeps here, that work in particular is sensitive and shouldn't really be uploaded by anyone outside of those who made it.

Of course, my word has very little value here too. But if windhunter's posting here I may as well too. c:

Hey, it's open season, everyone! Why work on your modding skills when you can work on your hacking skills instead, steal not-yet-released work from other modders' computers, and release it as your own!?

Go nuts! Miacis is cool with it!

Playtesting a pre-release moveset for another modder? Why not beat them to the punch and release it yourself!? It's totally fine as long as you credit the person whose work you intentionally stole!

I mean, this has never happened before, so why stop it when it does? Why not just let everyone go for it!?

In all seriousness, ask yourself why this kind of theft has "never happened" on the vault. The answer is that everyone knows deep down that it's wrong, and they assumed they wouldn't get away with it. If you let them, you've thrown any semblance of dignity this site had out the window.

Okay, I've been lurking around and stuff, but this is too weird to not comment on. Like, this really shouldn't be all that complicated, right?

Look, if person B takes something from person A (without permission) that person A doesn't want on the vault, then passes it to person C who makes an edit and uploads it, isn't the obvious reaction for person A to tell off person B and tell person C to take down the stolen edit?

Heck, if person B takes something unreleased from person A without permission, makes an edit, and then uploads it even with proper collab and credit, isn't the obvious reaction still for person A to request the removal of the unsolicited edit? "Dude you stole this and uploaded it, why would you ever think I'd be cool with this?"

I mean, it's even in the rules: "Minor edits to others' work are allowed to an extent. For example, if you create a night/rain/snow version of someone’s stage or change a character’s shirt from green to blue and want to post it on the Vault, you have to collaborate the creator of the original hack." Except in this case all the individual members who are being collabed for the edit literally don't want it on the vault. This applies to every hack, not just PM stuff.

You're telling me you'd have to let it get uploaded to the vault before it can get removed because you're making an exception in the rules for SPECIFICALLY PM stolen content?

Guys, this is literally common courtesy. It's not even in contention whether or not the art is stolen. It IS. It's also not in contention whether any of the individual original creators want the stuff out in the wild. They don't. None of them. I don't. I created a good deal of it myself.

You guys seem to forget that the Vault consists of Resources for Brawl Modding. Whoever uploads the leaked files would gain nothing for submitting them to the Vault. Based on this, I honestly don't see the harm.

What does this mean? (And I ask you to read this without any sarcasm, I truly don't understand.)

When did the Vault only become a "resource for Brawl Modding?" Two, what makes the uploader's opinion more important than the creator's?

It doesn't hurt them, but it hurts me, specifically. I'm not as dramatic as Halo, so I'm not gonna storm out the door. But this hurts.

I'm not even mad, just incredibly disappointed. These past few months have been nothing but disappointment.

They do forbid plagiarizing another person's work, but if the person states who is the owner of the hack and his part in it, he should have no problem uploading a mod that isn't on the Vault. Which is why dasdonkey's textures (Among others') are on the Vault through different users' submissions.

You're telling me you'd have to let it get uploaded to the vault before it can get removed because you're making an exception in the rules for SPECIFICALLY PM stolen content?
On the contrary:
Quote
If P:M content is treated like any BV submission, then all you'd need to do in case of a complaint is to redirect the author to the submitter so they can work this out together. And if the submitter doesn't want to remove the submission, well, tough luck. The files are publicly available regardless.

What does this mean? (And I ask you to read this without any sarcasm, I truly don't understand.)

When did the Vault only become a "resource for Brawl Modding?" Two, what makes the uploader's opinion more important than the creator's?

It doesn't hurt them, but it hurts me, specifically. I'm not as dramatic as Halo, so I'm not gonna storm out the door. But this hurts.

I'm not even mad, just incredibly disappointed. These past few months have been nothing but disappointment.
How would you not know what this means? Many PMDT members have labelled the Vault as a "great resource", and I agree. And the uploader's opinion is irrelevant. We just believe every mod has a place in the Vault (From a Jesus/Judas mod to PM).

As someone said in our discussion:

Quote
The whole point is that we can't really permit re-uploads without allowing edits, or edits without allowing re-uploads. The former because it'd be nonsensical and contrary to the entire point of this modding community. The latter because of the potential for abuse.

Also because it would be rather silly. Like yes, you can download Pink Knuckles or Lyn with the Sol Katti, but not the original Knuckles/Lyn?

As a matter of fact, we advise... nay, we encourage hackers to beat up their local PMDT friends for their WIP stages and then upload it all on BrawlVault. Our community will then drink the tears and laugh at the awful misfortune of these most respectful hackers taking punches like nerds.

What the [censored], seriously? You're really encouraging to beat people up? Do you realize how [censored]ed up that is? The Ex-PMDT worked hard on the work they made, and you're encouraging violence? Are you just jealous by the fact Project M is a quality mod and had a quality team, and you didn't get a chance to get on?

I am just a political philosophy phd who has been lurking here for some years now, and even though my modding skill is nothing compared to others, I have become somewhat attached  to the site and the modding community. Thus, seeing as it also looks like a topic within my knowledge,  I feel like saying my own two cents on the matter.

To start with, as it seems, this is an ethical issue (it has to do with the manner we  interact with one another, this case - the site admins on the one hand and the creators of various mods on the other). And as others have word it already, it has to do with common courtesy and what that is.

On the one side  the admins seem to be saying that as long as the submitter mentions the creators name, he may do whatever he likes. In other words, the gesture of collaborating the name of the creator is enough of a courtesy towards the creators. On the other side, many creators and people (plebs like myself), seem to argue that courtesy means more than just a mention of the creators name (how much more exactly will probably differ from person to person).

Personally I can see the point of the admins to try to make sure that every mod has a place on the site. Perhaps my liberal views make me see the reasoning behind it since it seems like a measure against personal biases factoring in which mod should be allowed on the site and which should not. However, contrary to the case of freedom of speech, I don't think such method should be applied to something like an art gallery for example, or in this case modding community, since it can suffocate the creators.

It is true that in some cases an effective 'free-for-all' (which is what the status quo of the site seems to be) can be of help, for instance in reviving a forgotten/lost mod that was abandoned by its creator. Someone finds it on a forum and posts it on BV with the creator's name. No harm done and the  community gained some content. But in other cases it can demotivate the creators from making anything because, let's say, others might find a leak of their content and publish it before the creator actually finishes it the way he thinks. Arguably, the creator lost his drive for finishing his work and the community gained a semi-finished modification from someone who will probably stop publishing anything else (because let's not forget none is paying him for it).

Perhaps it would be a better tactic by the admins of the site to be more flexible in their thinking and rules. Not all cases are the same and the rules should reflect that. Ensuring the creators' consent (wherever possible) can provide a safety net for the creators by letting them know that they can work on their art without worrying about leaks and whatnot. Such rules can nurture the modding community instead of slowly suffocating it.

Anyway, providing (perhaps) a bit of clarity and my own opinion is the only way I can think of helping.

Being a person who has followed Project M for years and even now would love for them to release their models for public use, I still cannot agree with the policy suggested here or by the sounds of it already implemented.

Many of the artists here are the individuals responsible for my urge to learn brawl modding and the reason for my first submission on the Vault. The submission was a simple texture edit, work done from the Project M teams models and inspired by AlGeorgeRomo. The model I was working on however while made by the PMDT was unlike the leaked content expressed as free for individuals to make such edits with proper crediting, heck I even ran my ideas for the recolours past Nano himself.

This is quite a different scenario than what is suggested here which is literally just taking their work, screw the morality. Sure you can use the debate of bringing it all back to Nintendo but what I find most disappointing is that through the years I have seen brawl modding as an often tight knit community of fans supporting their favourite artists and artists collaborating together to create new things and at the centre of this the pillars of the community, the PMDT. How quickly we are willing to throw down our pillars.

Honestly I don't blame the PMDT for not releasing their work, obviously something went down we don't fully understand but also the word ENTITLEMENT comes to mind. The fact that we view ourselves as ENTITLED to their work is absurd, it is their work, sure we may want it, we may even have underhanded ways of getting it, but it is still theirs to give!

If someone told me to take down an edit I made I would take it down but if I knew someone would not want an edit of their work on the vault in the first place I would not put it up in the first place hoping they wouldn't notice or request it taken down. Deep down you all must know this is wrong... If not I am disappointed in the people I thought this community was rooted in...

So disregarding the debate of ethics of whether it's "right" to upload leaked content without permission (it's not, fyi :) ), has anyone advocating for willy-nilly leaking considered that there's a potentially legally fragile nature to this specific leaked content, that could get certain former PMDT in real-life, grown up trouble?

Oh wait, how presumptuous. Of course not. Y'all are just far too concerned with keeping old vendettas alive and getting your hands on shiny new toys for your Brawl packs to evaluate the circumstances surrounding this content like rational adults. Silly me.

From an artist's point of view, it'd be a huge hit to my pride when people from the very community I create for release an unfinished work of mine before I officially release it, myself. I spend a lot of time on what I do, and there are only a few I trust to handle my work before its complete release. Having a wip released would make it seem like my standards had dropped when I really wanted to work on the piece for a bit longer. As much as this place is a resource for creators, the advanced creators put so much time into attaining the skills they have, and I think kcmm should respect the creator's property when all they ask is for their work to be taken down.

Spot on.

It is true that in some cases an effective 'free-for-all' (which is what the status quo of the site seems to be) can be of help, for instance in reviving a forgotten/lost mod that was abandoned by its creator. Someone finds it on a forum and posts it on BV with the creator's name. No harm done and the  community gained some content.

Arguably, the creator lost his drive for finishing his work and the community gained a semi-finished modification from someone who will probably stop publishing anything else (because let's not forget none is paying him for it).
To avoid this, Miacis already stated Large Leader suggested contacting fellow PMDT Team interested in releasing their work in the future and to contact us and we'd extend his deadline to an agreeable lapse of time (Which could be months, so long as it does gets released).

Do note that we're not allowing people to submit the Project M 3.61 Pack.zip; We're only allowing people to submit use-able character models/texture recolors/edits to the PM leaked models/among other things, not a full pack.

Disallowing submissions of PM 3.61 models (Like Awakening Roy(?)) would mean disallowing texture recolors/model edits of such models, and I'm not fine with this.

What the [censored], seriously? You're really encouraging to beat people up? Do you realize how [censored]ed up that is? The Ex-PMDT worked hard on the work they made, and you're encouraging violence? Are you just jealous by the fact Project M is a quality mod and had a quality team, and you didn't get a chance to get on?

Yeah, because he wasn't following HaloedHero's not-serious' (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=66667.msg1353942#msg1353942) part of the reply. Come on guys, stop the mindless bashing.

Difference being that this has happened before, and we've removed such WIPs, because you do plan to eventually release your mod (In contrast, we're not sure of who plans on releasing their models on the PMDT).

I'm not fine with forbidding people from submitting their edits/texture recolors/edited models based on 3.61 files on the Vault.

Honestly, the situation is a huge mess.

I've been a lurker for quite some time, but I feel that I need to break my habit of silence for this issue.  Sofron, Prim8, BullockDS, and sorcerice have said things well. It seems the Admins feel that its the right of the brawl modding community to have any and all customized content, regardless of whatever the original creator wants. Which is very disrespectful and epitomizes an entitlement that is, as Prim8 put it, absurd.  It seems the people at KCMM who want this new rule have stopped thinking past their wanting and didn't stop to consider the rights of creators to their work, the right of those creators to their privacy of work, the recency of P:M's cessation of development and its emotional strife, and maybe the legal fragility that may still exist, as BullockDS put it.  

So, leaked P:M content should not be be allowed. Only if the original content creator personally uploads it should it be permitted. Regarding any secondary recolors/modifications to those models and content there must be explicit permission from the original creator.

So lets say that the PMDT have been working in the kitchen all day and have just produced a fresh tray of cookies and not wanting to wait for such cookies to cool or even waiting to have one offered to me I stealthily snatch away a cookie.
You stole a cookie by making an exact of copie of the cookie that's still in their possession. Then when you showed the cookies to someone else and told them you didn't make the cookie. Then the original cook came and showed his baked cookies and what you did is you removed your half-baked ones from display.
And let's not forget the important part. The original guy? He stole his cookies from someone else in the first place!

That's a complicated kind of theft! And that seems super nice of the "thief" to their "victim" to go through all that. I dunno about the US, but here, the thieves just take your [censored]. Then it's not yours anymore, it's theirs.

Maybe if you guys were patient and kind, the PMDT would eventually release their content for us all to enjoy. I can only hope they still decide to do this despite you entitled jerks being, well, entitled jerks. I feel like all of this would be a non-issue if you guys would just wait.

I know im not really of any sort of authority on this, but i would just like to throw in my two cents


-uploading leaked content from project m by anyone but their original creator should not be allowed on the site, even if there were similar situations previously, I'm willing to bet the author isn't really happy with that unless it's with permission, and really shouldn't be encouraged in my opinion,  derivative work could always be uploaded after the original is officially submitted by its creator, so that shouldn't be an excuse to allow leaked content.

-even if the content doesn't hold any legal danger, it should still be rightful only for the creator of said content to upload his work, even if proper credit is given, and even if the designs of the characters or stages or any other sort of hack doesn't technically belong to them, they should at least have the right to release their hard work at their own pace, without anything or anyone pressuring them to release it, the ex-pmdt gave us so much joy and generated so much hype that i know i myself cant just ignore, i feel like we at least owe this to them, but honestly this is supposed to be a community, we're supposed to help each other out, even if this wasn't about the pmdt i wouldn't agree this.

This isn't supposed to be directed at anyone in particular, but I would  just like everyone to consider this

Also, even if i was pro-leaked content on the site, some of the patterns of speech ive seen here doesnt really encourage me to agree with it....

As much as I would love to see some of the PMDT content released, I think we as fellow creators should respect the wishes of those who have put in a huge amount of effort.

I'm sure perhaps some content may accidentally pop-up here and there (if it hasn't already). But if it's requested to be taken down just respect it and take it down.

Perhaps treating the PMDT with some good-will would make them more willing to work with the greater Brawl modding community, think of it that way.

Rather than having this discussion in a public forum, is there any way we can have a private discussion between the BV staff and former-PMDT members?

That way, we can have a reasonable discussion to clear up any misunderstandings without the peanut gallery chiming in.

Honestly people, I don't think the situation can be changed. They have the red names; their word is final. Even if literally everyone who posted on the vault ever (includes them) spoke out against the situation in regards to PM's leaked content, not a thing would change. What happens is entirely up to them.

Side note: these forums are kind of dark, dank, dusty, and outdated.

After speaking with S.J.S. about the situation in a civil manner, I believe I have a better solution to our issue:

Submitting Knuckles, Lyndis or Isaac to the Vault has to be labelled as a "Pack" for all the PM files that would need to be included with them (Codes, cosmetics, etc). We can't allow Knuckles, Lyndis and Isaac because they don't follow this rule for Packs:

Packs must include a README with credit to the submitters of all the included hacks and links to their Brawl Vault galleries (if they have one).

Knowing we can't allow these three, is it fine to allow textures/model edits of these? Sure, they'll have textures ready whenever someone ports them to regular slots (If ever), and they'd fall in the "Custom" category of the Vault. But why allow textures/edits and not the real thing?

I believe the best way to handle Lyndis/Knuckles/Isaac is to allow a thread (Project M Resources Thread (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=75455.0)) with the 3.61 Download Link, and the thread could be used for people to submit their mods of said PM version, be it textures, models, or whatever they decide. Nothing of this would be allowed on the Vault.

However, sadly, standalone models (Models that don't require files other than the 00.pac/.pcs files, Awakening Roy) would still fall under our rules of free to modify.

Rather than having this discussion in a public forum, is there any way we can have a private discussion between the BV staff and former-PMDT members?

That way, we can have a reasonable discussion to clear up any misunderstandings without the peanut gallery chiming in.

I feel like that would be the best way to get this sorted out in a civil manner and reach a compromise where both parties are happy.
It would have been the best. But now we are in this situation thanks to your ex-fellow PMDT member Nanobuds. I don't really expect Miacis to be open to discussing this further after  Nanobuds' approach to the situation.

This is hilarious.

I believed some people from as old as 2010 would come to have already understood the Vault's policy on uploaded hacks by now.

The KC-MM staff's decisions always value what is best for the whole mass of players who use the Vault hacks on their hacked Brawl. Just think about it just a little - and without your own interest in sight - and you'll see.



Understand.

The hacks you made, when in private and for your own use, and never released, are technically yours. Even though they pretty much aren't because of the resources used. Anyways, no biggie here. Moving on.

The hacks you made and didn't public release, but were released by someone else, are meant to stay out because they leaked. Imagine that a certain hack was made and was only up for one day. For the sake of the community, that hack should remain avaliable forever, for anyone who might want it, and any time they want it. So, person Y simply reuploads it and says "The creator of this isn't me, but actually X". Person Y doesn't gain anything from that, after all, we don't allow people to profit from Vault submissions. Instead, the community gains with it, because a hack that would have been avaliable for a short period and mostly unavaliable becomes a permanent hack avaliable for whoever wants it.

The hacks you made and publically released are public. No biggie here either.



So I don't see what the problem is.



However, when reading all this stuff, the worst thing is the double standard on what is theft and what isn't.

I've been watching this entire thread since the announcement but I try not to involve myself in drama when possible, but since I'm active on here and also a moderator who's job it is to judge content for approval or deletion I'd like to give my opinion on the matter too, no matter how unfavorable it may be.

First, I just want to say that this entire thing is a huge minefield for both me and KJP, since we're members of both the KCMM staff and Ex-PMDT, so it's a difficult thing to get out what's on our minds without setting off either side. With that in mind, there's several things that go with my beliefs or against them no matter what the topic or context is.

I'm against theft, obviously, but in regards to the content that's publicly available now, that problem can't really be helped because I don't believe that the people who now have access to the files are the thieves, that role belongs to the ones who leaked the stuff in the first place. Whenever there's a leak for a game the entire scenario turns into a forbidden fruit, there's literally never been a game that had a leaked release and didn't get pirated or put up on a torrenting site, not once.

I'm also against suppressing user content in the same way that I'm about free speech and press. It's just morally wrong to keep someone from expressing themselves, no matter what.

Getting into legal trouble is also pretty big, so as far as the content relating to leaked files goes, I personally believe that anything which 1, doesn't put the original creators and by extension the former PMDT in a questionable or dangerous situation and 2, would have been released to the vault in a standalone fashion, specifically anything that works independently of engine changes and would be compatible with vanilla brawl, should be fair game to be uploaded. However, in order to prevent any further drama or controversy I  it'd probably be best to ask the creators of the permission to do so on a site-wide scale or have them upload the files themselves.

Forgive me if I am wrong in understanding you but you seem to be arguing that leaking is okay ('leaks are meant to stay out' which I take you to mean 'remain on the  site') regardless of the circumstances.

If that is your point, I have to say that while it is true that, at least in short term, the community at large will benefit from the leak, in long term one can only venture how many will actually bother to create or publish anything. You could say that creators will have no problem with this but I imagine many of them will disagree.

Surely I misunderstood you because breeding insecurity and fear of theft (for a lack of a better word) cannot be the guiding principles of your rules, can they?

Thanks for your constructive criticism. Definitely the correct way to contribute to the discussion at hand.
Everything has been said already. Might as well add some more condescension, right? It's what you guys usually spew whenever something related to PM is brought up.

Lets be real, the only reason this is even being debated right now is because we're talking about PM. Had it been an individual user's work getting leaked without their consent, I'm 100% certain you lot wouldn't hesitate to prevent the leaks from being hosted on here. Deny it all you want, but I've lurked this site for quite a while, and that the trend I've always seen.

Post by: Prim8 on February 03, 2016, 02:19:50 PM
Here is how I see the argument for the leaked stuff being posted in accordance with it being a supposed community benefit. I see it as a rather short sighted approach.

Even if you view the matter objectively and not as a PM issue you have the fact that their is really two groups this site serves. The artists and the consumers. If you do put the content up it is true consumers will have new content easily accessible but consider the future repercussions. By valuing the consumer over the artist you are not really supporting the artists who contribute to the site. If artists are not supported why should they feel compelled to produce more content for the public, it is not like they have to release their work in the first place. In short by putting the consumer ahead in the exact instant of such scenarios you actually hurt future consumers by burning the content producers who very well might not produce in the future. Brawl Vault is no different than any other business model, you have to keep your producers happy otherwise you end up with no product to distribute.

Keep in mind that hacks leaking is actually a really rare circunstance. And usually, they don't happen without trust consequences between the leaker and the developer, and usually a significant change in the share policies of the developer.

A lot of people here do make their own stuff, and many others use their works as a starting point (most often recolors) because they don't yet have the skills for big things. But I can assure you all of the good hackers have started doing so, regardless of how good they are now. Again, that is a thing from very, very early in the history of Brawl hacking... it has never changed and very likely never will.

What I'm really getting at is that people do continue making their own stuff. Of course, not as much as in the times of old, before the interest for Brawl started to decline. But I can assure you new stuff is still being made, and derivative work is still being made, and Brawl hacking is extremely likely to continue like this until Smash hacking becomes common, and possibly even past that... and leaks don't really contribute to putting a halt to it. Specially because we ourselves do not leak anything - we only offer a possibility of keeping leaks avaliable, because it would be a shame to make unavaliable a hack that is good.

Everything has been said already. Might as well add some more condescension, right? It's what you guys usually spew whenever something related to PM is brought up.

Lets be real, the only reason this is even being debated right now is because we're talking about PM.

Deny it all you want, but I've lurked this site for quite a while, and that the trend I've always seen.

Well, then take my word for the fact that if you really believe what you said is true, you clearly have not been here nearly enough.

Here is how I see the argument for the leaked stuff being posted in accordance with it being a supposed community benefit. I see it as a rather short sighted approach.

Even if you view the matter objectively and not as a PM issue you have the fact that their is really two groups this site serves. The artists and the consumers.

Brawl Vault is no different than any other business model, you have to keep your producers happy otherwise you end up with no product to distribute.

This is an interesting point of view. However, as I answered above, at least from what I've seen (and I've been here for a long while), leaks are actually an extremely rare situation. Most developers don't share their stuff until they're finished, or if they do, they only share it with one person that can help them and that they really trust. The effect of leaks are hardly as harmful to the developers side as you put it, or even to the community as a whole.

Feel free to disagree, but I believe anyone who has watched this forums for as long as I've been will agree with me.

I don't have to deny anything. I'll just quote myself:
To avoid this, Miacis already stated Large Leader suggested contacting fellow PMDT Team interested in releasing their work in the future and to contact us and we'd extend his deadline to an agreeable lapse of time (Which could be months, so long as it does gets released).

Difference being that this has happened before, and we've removed such WIPs, because you do plan to eventually release your mod (In contrast, we're not sure of who plans on releasing their models on the PMDT).

Post by: Nezha B. Rose on February 03, 2016, 02:51:25 PM
*Sigh*

As a BV staff it would be very irresponsible of me to keep quiet and let everyone sort this out.

Keep in mind that once the change is online, we (the ones who moderate your mods entries) are the one that will have to carry out the rules, not the red stars or green stars, or silver stars... all equally and fairly, and as much as I hate to do it. And I know both Theytah and KJP will hate to do it.

So, let me say the following. If you see a person uploading something leaked that belongs to you... talk to him.

Humans are social beings, and believe it or not, I meet with some dudes who's packs I've deleted from the vault and they understood and even fixed the situations.

What is leaked is leaked, and if it doesn't get hosted here, it will get hosted on thumblr or reddit like the said packs I've deleted. So banning them fixes nothing, and Im sorry to say it... you can stop one website, or two counting smashboards, but you cannot stop the internet.

I've been thinking for hours, even cutting class, about what side I should choose. I respect artwork, and I respect having the options of having control of what you created (not owned), but I also respect people being able to upload stuff they see fit when the rules are in check.

So I choose to wait more, to give time. But look at what "giving" time has come to? This. Frustration, anger, and eternal hatred growing ever so stronger as a reminder that a chance of an agreement is downright impossible. The radiation emitted from this thread is cancerous.

So what now? I made the mistake of looking for a way to end this peacefully, there is just no positive way to solve this. A side will suffer penalties regardless of choice, while the other rejoice. At Least I will not regret  to say my opinion on the matter... here, and the staff chat.

So my choice? Remain neutral. There is nothing I can say or act that will change everything, this has gotten too far deep for any positive outlook.

Lets be real, the only reason this is even being debated right now is because we're talking about PM. Had it been an individual user's work getting leaked without their consent, I'm 100% certain you lot wouldn't hesitate to prevent the leaks from being hosted on here. Deny it all you want, but I've lurked this site for quite a while, and that the trend I've always seen.

This is quite offensive to us, mostly me and the rest of the cyan stars. Since I sweep the Vaults every 2 days, and it was always my goal to be fair and equal to all, no exceptions of experience or label. If the smash 3 stuff gets leaked and hosted here, I cannot do anything about it. And Smash 3 is my PMBR if you dig.

So please don't make us cyans look like an [censored]s will ya? We are not to blame to what the red and purple stars decide. We handle the vault, and not the forums.

You as a lurker don't see this, because I work in silence, most of us do. And I think some people can back me up on this, that I've never bended the rules sorely because it's for a personal grudge. I've deleted my own brother's packs for being plagiarised, thats how determined I am to prove that all users are to be treated the same.

I know you said you didn't want me to post here Mia, but to be honest, even after reading a lot of this [censored] storm... I can't even find it within myself to get mad over this. At all. *Sigh.*

I'm going to be blunt with everyone here: [censored]ty things have happened between the KC:MM staff and the former PMDT Devs in the past. Certain kinds of perceptions by people on both sides doesn't really help with trying to have a civil discussion either. Like finding out that someone you respected saying nasty stuff about you behind your back and not even having the courage to face you when called out. You know who you are, and I'm not taking that thread any further here.

The fact remains, and the biggest source of conflict for the longest time between KC:MM staff and the P:M Devs, was the idea of publicly releasing the resources of builds of P:M before development was ceased. The idea behind this was that publicly releasing these resources would benefit the community by allowing things to be done that weren't possible with what the community had at the time.

It's never been a matter of feeling entitled to those resources, that's pure nonsense.

It's always been about that a lot of people here on KC:MM wanted those resources to further modding to new heights, like with what happened with vertexing, and then PSA, and followed thereafter by model importing, thanks to BlackJax.

We're not entitled to them and never have been, but the refusal on part of the devs (usually with saying they wouldn't release those resources probably until P:M hit Gold if I remember correctly) from the very beginning made some of us feel like the PMDT and it's dev team were purposefully leaving us in the dust to rot, for no apparent reason that we could find.

You mean putting it in a way that isn't being forthwith about how it is / was? At least as I saw it from my point of view?

I've long since gotten over my grudge for the PMDT in general, Ricky. I was just citing a certain example personally experienced by me in the past, and I'm past that too.

-and to be honest, I don't feel like there is much more that I can add that hasn't already been said: Nanobuds & co. believe their wishes should be respected by not having the P:M resources and files made by team members posted on the Vault. KC:MM staff believe they should be released and have been trying to extend (to an extent) an olive branch (from my understanding) to facilitate that happening. Besides, if it wasn't clear from earlier, that "discussion" was mainly going in circles, in no small part because the other people popping up to join in were literally echoing each other throughout.

Besides, understanding how we got here to begin with is important.

As a matter of fact, we advise... nay, we encourage hackers to beat up their local PMDT friends for their WIP stages and then upload it all on BrawlVault. Our community will then drink the tears and laugh at the awful misfortune of these most respectful hackers taking punches like nerds.
Why on earth would you do that? What logical reason would cause you to draw that conclusion? It's the content of individual modders. If they don't feel safe uploading their content, then they have the right not to do that. For instance, a few PMDT workers teased content that didn't make it into Project M, but are currently uploaded on the Vault, for instance, Theytah's yarn Kirby. Regardless of whether it was PMDT content or not - nobody should ever upload someone else's work.

You guys seriously disappointed me.

Hey, don't drag the community into this. It's the leadership that's the problem here.
I highly respect you as a Modder, Haloed, and so do I respect Spex130, Nanobuds, KJP, Theytah, and other names from the ex-PMDT that don't come to mind in this situation. You have to understand the decision we reached didn't come from Miacis. We had a thorough discussion (And still are having it), but the way both Miacis and the ex-PMDT (+ Nanobuds' helpful (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=66667.msg1353968#msg1353968) minions (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=66667.msg1354010#msg1354010)) have "debated" the situation has gone horribly.

I can say that everyone in the staff position is inclined to a decision that benefits the community the most. Yes, even Miacis, despite whatever may seem. Miacis is probably the most community-driven member of the staff.
This is a fact. Miacis and the PMDT have had their past, but that was in the past. This decision was reached by all the Brawl Vault Staff, not Miacis alone. And Miacis didn't make it public until we made sure we were all on the same page. Miacis and myself were just 2 more votes added to those of the Vault Staff. Now, you know who are some of the Vault Staff members? People like KingJigglyPuff (ex-PMDT), Theytah (ex-PMDT), Scout (A common browser of SmashBoards), ASF1nk (Known CSS Modder), and Legacy Wolf (Pretty known for his Stages).

Here you are throwing us under the dirt for having a different opinion and brigading us, when we haven't even reached a final decision (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=66667.msg1353941#msg1353941).

So, can we have the opinions from people that have actually been remotely active around here and actually read the arguments posited before, or should I just take a cup of coffee while the Nanobuds fans parot the same 4 lines?
Do I count on this?
I'm pretty much a neutral party, I have been around for a loooooooooong time and even if I don't post in hacking threads I lurk around all of them.


First let me say that the display of bickering from both sides is ludicrous.
We all know how stubborn, condescending, and self-righteous some of the people involved in this can get.
Miacis shouldn't be mocking and taunting others with witty sarcastic comments or his avatar and personal text; Nano shouldn't go to other sites, get people riled up and bring them here to target the people he disagrees with.

First of all clear your minds, let your heads cool down, act a little bit mature, and then discuss these issues with civility instead of constantly jumping at each other.
There's been animosity between KCMM and PM members for a long time, and seems people in both sides still resent it, how about leaving that aside too?

It would have been much better to have this conversation between the KCMM and ex-PM staff somewhere else to reach a middle ground and final decision.



Now, as for the main issue; some people here are complaining about theft and making analogies but this is not your average case of burglary, we're talking about files that were leaked, that have been circulating around the internet for months now.
People already have these files, they've already modified them, used them, added to them, complemented them. Whether they're allowed into the vault or not is not gonna change the fact that those files are currently hosted somewhere in the internet being downloaded and shared.

The people who downloaded those files, edit them and upload them somewhere else aren't thieves, they're not stealing, they're just using them, and ultimately sharing them.
The only "thief" would be the person who got the files and leaked them in the first place. If you want to point fingers and blame it on someone, that's the person you should go after.


When you read the vault rules that have been in place for years, and the specific set of rules for these PM files, the staff's decision is simply to allow users to share their edits to files that are already available to people.
That's it.
Banning it from the vault won't make it disappear from the web, and people who upload edits to that work won't get praise as creators of the content, since pretty much everyone will know who made the work originally.


Personally, I never liked the system of "as long as you credit the original creator you can upload your version without asking for permission", but if it wasn't in place, a lot of improved versions of older content or new content taking little bits of pieces from others would never see the light of day. Which would be a shame in a community and storage system where the main point is sharing everyone's work.

I totally get the anger and frustration that comes from someone making minor edits to your work and uploading it on their own; I mean, it happened to me back in the day; but in the end, people are forced to give proper credit where credit is due and it gives more options to choose from to the users downloading content.


Now, some complaints are about the original creator's wishes.
I don't know, but I highly doubt that Nano alone or all these PM fans can talk on behalf of all the other people that worked on that PM content.
Some might not dislike the idea of the files getting shared, some might want to complete it and release them themselves later on, some might prefer to keep the files to themselves and never share them with anyone.
In that case, wouldn't it be better if each of those people directly involved approached the staff and talked to them about what they think and want?

It would be great if the people who worked directly in those files were willing to discuss it with the staff here and reach a middle point of agreement.
It would also be great if the staff here was willing to ultimately follow and support the decision of the ex-PM members whose work is directly involved.



A lot of you guys have used this just as an excuse to white-knight your beloved ex-PM staff and to lash out against the evil KCMM staff.
Some are even unable to detect sarcasm in a mocking post.
People like that are not worth talking with in this case, just makes the debate go in circles.
Which is why again, I propose this is taken to another place and only discussed between the direct involved people.

This is a fact. Miacis and the PMDT have had their past, but that was in the past. This decision was reached by all the Brawl Vault Staff, not Miacis alone. And Miacis didn't make it public until we made sure we were all on the same page. Miacis and myself were just 2 more votes added to those of the Vault Staff. Now, you know who are some of the Vault Staff members? People like KingJigglyPuff (ex-PMDT), Theytah (ex-PMDT), Scout (A common browser of SmashBoards), ASF1nk (Known CSS Modder), and Legacy Wolf (Pretty known for his Stages).

He's right. I decided to vote and therefore I must agree to the outcome, regardless of what the main choice was.

So this was decided by all of us in the end. And thats that.

Im sorry for making things worst.

Um, can you pass me the flak vest when you can?

Are re uploads allowed here. I notice a user by the name of falcothefox stole a hack on here and reuploaded it claiming as his. This is the hack. http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=210790 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=210790)  It was the Super Sonic Landmaster hack by NecroMasterX. http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=7534 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=7534)  I told him that he stole it and it was NecroMasterX's hack. He then removed the Report and put me and NecroMaster as collab and credit. The thing is though is that I didn't made the hack and he still has it up there. Is it possible to get it deleted? He stole other hacks and claimed it as his work before as well.

Looks like it's just someone's trolling account, submitting hacks already on the Vault and claiming he made them. (For the record, and in relation to recent discussions, the latter is what we consider theft here.)

All his other stolen hacks are deleted and he's been doing nothing but that since joining, so I think we're just gonna go all Old Yeller on that account.

Hey folks, I'm here with a bit of an announcement regarding that whole P:M business.

We're planning to open up a chatroom this weekend for the staff, former PMDT and related who wish to discuss the re-uploading thing from last week, in a slightly more cool-headed environment.
We aim to reach at least a decent understanding by the end of these two days, meaning the plan is to get things done, and not waste time on pointless drama.

Simply send one of the admins a PM with your Skype name and we'll add you to the room once it starts.

It should be held on Skype, since I know for a fact the whole staff is on it. Not sure about whether or not other software like Discord or Telegram cover them, but that's also a possibility. If anybody wants to join but doesn't use Skype or intend to use it (which is entirely understandable), make sure to say so here and we'll see what we can do. Worse comes to worse, we can just make an IRC channel.

On that topic, and since I'm sure they are reading this thread sometimes, please try and keep your reports accurate, all of you. Don't get me wrong, those files were hella infringing for plenty of reasons:
Those files are not standalone. Those files have very foggy credits. Isaac's download is broken. P:M files aren't allowed to be submitted by non-PMDT people until the 15th.
If you consider them packs (even if they're not straight-to-SD!), they have no proper credits Readme and do not contain any of the author's contributions.

However, "Leaked content is forbidden on the Vault", "You can't upload it because it's not yours" and such aren't such reasons and are untrue in this time and place. They really should not be the vast majority of the 10~20 reports each of those files got.

I bet he totally ignored this thread.
Seeing the timing with which this was submitted, I bet that he actually read this thread very carefully...

Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: windhunter7 on April 29, 2016, 07:44:26 PM
Try hovering over "Safe Search"; it specifically states "Enable this to show only approved entries while browsing"; i.e. This has nothing to do with whether or not nude hacks appear; it only makes it so that pending hacks don't appear. There's this thing called "Ignoring", which is quite useful, where it allows the user to bypass said hacks and just skip them to look at the other ones. You should try it...


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: Miacis on April 30, 2016, 02:30:42 PM
And you should try answering the question plainly, without being a [censored]...

The "Safe Search" does not filter NSFW material like Google and whatnot, but unapproved hacks. This is becoming less and less relevant though, since less and less hacks are staying unapproved for very long. Maybe we'll move or remove the button at some point, to avoid confusion.

Maybe there should be a list of words that, when put in to the hack name or description, can be tagged as NSFW. IDK how it can be implemented, but it's a thought.


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: windhunter7 on April 30, 2016, 06:22:22 PM
Here's a thought off of what Segtendo just said:

The "Safe Search" could be replaced with something like "Show NSFW Hacks", and then, when the hacks are pending, the Vault Staff tags each one as NSFW after pending approval, if applicable.

As for figuring out which old ones to add that tag to, you could always ask me to search the Vault for every hack that is NSFW, and I could PM that list to an admin or something. It may take a while, though, mostly because I have other stuff I have to do, so I don't readily have the time, but when I do have the time, I'm glad to help out! :)

Cut the attitude there, windhunter. It isn't needed.

Why is the staff responsible for tagging hacks? Their many priority is to approve hacks, check the validity of reports, and remove faulty hacks, not tag everyone's hacks.

Yeah, adding a NSFW Checkbox for when submitting/editing a mod might do the trick for the newer mods. However, we'd have to go back and re-check the older ones (And have a Staff edit them all). Not worth it, in my opinion.

This account's links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!" ShadowLuigi~NG~'s, russmarrs2's, etc.'s vaults have already experienced issues with this.

Huh. I always thought Dropbox was near the best way of uploading compared to MediaFire. A number of hacks here with MediaFire in 2013-2009 are broken and stuff. I'd prefer Dropbox so the download link lasts longer than MediaFire's, in my opinion.

If there are issues with Mediafire (I've been using it for almost 2 years and the only problems I had were 2x ~12 hour server downtimes) I'm alright with another suggestion. I can just see Dropbox causing avoidable issues for popular users so its use should be discouraged.

I too have been having these issues, however, as you said, this is only an issue with very popular modders (or, on my case, a guy who shares stuff with Dropbox on a lot of places. I'm sure that ended up killing mine so I've had to re-upload stuff on another account).

Thing is, nothing is certain. It is a hassle that Dropbox wipes the whole Vault of these users once it expires. Mediafire (AFAIK) only kills the highly downloaded mod on the other hand. Mega also requires you to kind of encrypt the names so the files won't be removed, which can be a hassle. Out of the three, I can't say which is the best, so instead of removing Dropbox, I opt for adding Mega (And maybe Google Drive/One Drive) to the suggested upload methods.

Thing is, nothing is certain. It is a hassle that Dropbox wipes the whole Vault of these users once it expires. Mediafire (AFAIK) only kills the highly downloaded mod on the other hand. Mega also requires you to kind of encrypt the names so the files won't be removed, which can be a hassle. Out of the three, I can't say which is the best, so instead of removing Dropbox, I opt for adding Mega (And maybe Google Drive/One Drive) to the suggested upload methods.
While it is true that all of those service providers have some negative qualities, I think Dropbox is by far the worst since it suspends all links on an account rather than individual ones. Adding the other hosts would be a good idea but I'd still opt for removing the Dropbox suggestion.

There's this guy (Phillip Pham) that keeps reporting my entries AFTER I reported them myself. Yes, download links are broken, which is why I reported them myself. But this guy keeps double reporting them. Nano did tell him to stop, but Phillip is back.

BrawlVault Bug to Report: Lately, whenever I click on an entry to edit it and make the changes and then click "Submit", it'll sit there for what appears to be infinity doing the loading icon even after it updates the entry.

Weird issue. I was added as a collaborator for a submission on BV. When I tried to correct some of the problems of the submission, I couldn't get the options to expand after choosing "Type of Entry." I've tried editing it on multiple days and this is the only entry of mine that seems to have this issue. Here is the link I tried to use to edit it: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlAdd.php?Number=212793 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlAdd.php?Number=212793)

For anyone else having this issue, the fix is to click the Submit button again to stop the loading icon, and then re-click the Submit button to try again, and this works. I tested it.

I do have a question, though: I found out that if you're collabed on a hack, then you are allowed to delete it, apparently; is this supposed to be the case, or is that a bug?

Little late, but the answer is no, that's not a bug. Making someone a collab shares full ownership of the entry, including the ability to edit or delete it.

Read the vault rules next time when submitting a mod, could had been deleted for not following the guideline. I mean, I believe thats the case. In that case, just reupload and make sure everything is in order.

We need a "tagging" system, there's so many mods they're hard to keep track of, we should be able to give them "tags" we can search for mods by, so if for example you only wanted to see mods related to the Kirby series in some way you'd search the "Kirby" tag. I feel like this would be helpful to everyone who uses the site.

I agree with the "any user can add" idea, though the "no download available" stuff is pretty much filtered out by reports anyway, thought it might be useful if you're looking for lost mods that you might have downloaded.


Title: Re: BrawlVault: Feedback and Updates
Post by: windhunter7 on April 02, 2017, 07:04:45 PM
Well, the thing though about reports is that about 90% of them will be "No previews" which is super- easily fixable, so by having a separate tag for that, it would differentiate between the two, so you don't have to check what the report is every time.

I've also noticed that some users will report their own mods to mention a broken download, and a tag would work much better; in fact, I have one with a broken DL, but if there was a tag for it, I'd be so much happier, because then, in a few years from now, if any of them hypothetically have no more previews, when I'm restoring those previews, I can just browse my own vault via the "No preview" tag

P.S. we should have the option, as well, of being able to add non- existent tags, in case of new or original games (e.g. my Dragon Hero game)

Not sure if anyone's posted something like this, but I figured I'd post it in the feedback thread.

Have KC-MM's site operators considered the possibility of adding a "Sm4sh Vault" section? Specifically, something that's exactly like the Brawlvault, only pertaining to Sm4sh mods instead. I certainly think it would be a good idea, seeing as modding for the game has really been picking up traction as of late; I definitely prefer Brawlvault's functionality/organisation over sites like Gamebanana.

Hey there.

Hate to bump this thread from almost two years of nothingness, but...

https://twitter.com/brawlbrstms/status/1161444560465211393

BrawlBRSTMs3 and Smash Custom Music are no more, which means a ton of my entries are gonna become broken. HOWEVER, I've been slowly working on backing everything up to my Dropbox account. Right now, it has everything I uploaded to the site, plus some stuff that didn't make it up there. I can provide a link so the restorers of the Vault can work on that. As for the YouTube links... that's another story.

For entries, get rid of the dropdown for actions. Instead, I would recommend using a normal link for reporting and editing entries, no fancy images needed. The current dropdown hides actions from the user and makes it difficult to find without already knowing what you are doing.

I know this would be a harder thing to implement than I'm making it seem, I just feel that this would be a positive change to improving the user experience.

That's how it was all the way back
(https://i.imgur.com/uNTmr28.png)

I understand the concern in making actions easier to find and straightforward, but there were reasons for that implementation.

Actions that were once scattered about as buttons (reporting, adding portraits, etc.) are now located in the Actions dropdown.

The Actions dropdown contains all the actions you are allowed to perform related to that entry, e.g. reporting, adding an image, deleting, etc. This dropdown is not available to guests, and its contents will vary depending on your rights, what the owner(s) allow, etc.
