Download server and naming conventions?

Hey, 

I don't know if this has been answered but why don't we have a dedicated download server rather than isolated file hosting? Is it just a cost issue?


Also, why isn't a standardized naming convention enforced? My CDLC folder is unreadable/sortable just because everyone names the file any which way they please.

    A dedicated server is probably a cost issue, but maybe also a legal issue.

     

    About names: You could only force a naming convention if charters had to upload their files to a dedicated host or something... but I totally agree with you about this problem.

    When charters create the psarc with the Toolkit, the file is automatically named "Artist-Name_Song-Title_v_1_0_p.psarc" which is in my opinion the way how everybody should do it...

    The thing I don't understand: Some charters put in the extra effort of renaming the file to something like "ArtistName_SongTitle_v1_0_p.psarc", which makes our folders look ugly!

     

    A pretty alternative used quite often is "Artist Name - Song Title_v1_0_p.psarc". This would be worth discussing about, but because of the "_p.psarc" we won't get completely rid of underscores anyway.

    Check out my easy tutorial on how to add a metronome to your CDLC: Mute the original music, play only with the metronome and find out how good you really sound! Also: Find CDLCs that have the metronome enabled!

    My CDLCs: Devin Townsend - Life, Deep Peace, Ih-Ah!, Deadhead; Farin Urlaub - Ok

    My ideas for new features in Ignition, e.g. filters for Multitrack CDLC and Metronome CDLC.
