DKC3 Argh!

 posted on Sunday, May 25, 2008 by WaxPoetic

I was shuffling things around and did some things I shouldn't have and I just noticed that all of the DKC3 things I added or updated yesterday have been... er... distorted. DarkMech, if you're still visiting, could you resend (e-mail is fine) me the sheets with proper naming? (I could steal them from TSR, but that would not be nice.)

Yet another update.

Finally getting the hang of things again.
I can't promise that the updates will be this frequent in the future, but if I can figure out something in Photoshop they just might be.

Today is a smattering of sheets from all over. Also, the GBA DKC3 sprites which were misfiled in the SNES version have been moved to the proper page.

I don't like the idea of this, but as most of you know, we've been on limited bandwidth for almost a year now. None of those of us involved in the CN network have the kind of out-of-pocket money to finance the bandwidth upgrade that we seriously need. Earlier in the month, someone attempted to mirror the forums. Why someone would feel compelled to do this I do not understand. (Yes, we keep back-ups, mysterious downloader, just ask next time) Needless to say, the forums ate up about half of our allotted bandwidth before the system restriction took it off line for the rest of the month.

As such, I have broken down and placed a small button on the navigation menu for any of you who wish to use it. (Thank you!)

More Backgrounds

Here we have the complete Megaman (1) BG set and the second area of Blaster Master. Enjoy!

As mentioned, update.

A summary of the last news posts for your pleasure.

I'm back. (Rejoice)
I'm doing this on my own. (Feel bad)

I'm updating small to start. Today are the background tiles from Bubble Bobble and the first area of Blaster Master. (A lot more tiles than you'd expect.)

Since I'm on the subject of updates and backgrounds and all that jazz, let me refresh some of your memories.

When I went to update, I was unable to initially, because the entire pending database was overflowing with crap sheets. I'm slowly thinning them down, but here are some guidelines to keep in mind:

If you stole the sheet, I can usually tell. If you stole a sheet and you think you got away with it, it's probably only a matter of time before the creator finds out.

A single sprite is not a sheet. Sorry.
Recolors are not accepted.
As much as I'd like to, pirated game sprites are also not accepted.

Where backgrounds are concerned, tiles are the only acceptable submission. For games that genuinely store their objects as complete pieces, those will be allowed. For far backgrounds that are made of multiple layers, these sheets will only be accepted if the individual layers are broken down into pieces.

And, most importantly:

YES, your sheet is in the pending archive. For the love of whatever god you worship or don't worship, stop submitting your sheet eight times in a day because you didn't see it posted five minutes after you submitted it.
You'd think that wouldn't be a problem since the site wasn't updated for almost a year, but no, it totally was.

But enough of my bitching. :3
We're back, baby.

Feel free to drop by the forums. Yes, we attempt to use proper English and grammar and whatnot, but we're not complete nazi's. The fact that you'd refuse to join a forum based on the fact that it asks you to attempt to properly use the language you speak and write is pretty sad, you know. Unless you don't live in an English speaking country, of course, in which case we've always made allowances.

'Til next!
