Question
vrusciante
Guys, I recently learned how to make customs, my idea was to make the most RHCP customs possible, but then I stumbled into this: a lot of famous songs have RS2012 versions, however, since the old database is gone, I have no idea who made them, therefore I can't contact this people about making RS2014 versions of this songs.
so I tried to search on the forum for a list of the RS2012 customs or something, this thread showed up:
http://customsforge.com/topic/2350-rescuing-customs/
in it, the user "Xstatic" posted this great idea:
"It wont change anything but if people really were worried about credit they could just add a extra second of leading silence and in that second do a vocal file with their name so it flashes their forum name at the start of their work. "
so here is an idea of standart:
CustomDLC V1.0 by "USERNAME" from customsforge.com
contact: "E-MAIL ADRESS OR WHATEVER YOU PREFER"
I think adopting this standart can solve the following current issues
1. About credits issues
when we post customs on the database, it's pretty much given that some people will take it and share on other forums, blogs, or torrent websites. my first contact with customs was through torrents, it actually took me some time to find the source.
this happens now because the credits to a custom is only bound to the customsforge's database, when its taken out of the database, this information is lost. adopting this new standart will not only give authors credit for the custom regardless where it was downloaded, but it also ensures that the person who download it will know that the source is customsforge.com
also, re-uploads to new databases (like the idea of the topic "rescuing customs") would mantain credits
2. About contacting issues
because of the past events, it would be good to be prepared for the eventuality of Ubisoft releasing a new version of rocksmith and the eventuality of customsforge's database vanishing.
with this standart, even if both happen, in the future another person that wants to make a custom that was already made before(or is looking for tips on custom making, or wants to re-upload) can easily contact the author of the older custom.
3.Archive names
since the version of the CDLC will be in the credits, versions on the .psarc filename could be avoided
That will also bring more people to the community interested in making customs, since more people will know about the forum.
Another thing is that, unlike editing the name of the custom's .psarc, this is totally harmless and won't affect neither sorting nor gameplay, leading silence is already a standart and the credit could be easily ignored by a player who don't care so it won't change anything.
what do you guys think?
