For every charter who uses a folder to share their customs. 

We've decided to ban the use of such folders.
1. Charters forget to remove songs that are now official dlc.
2. Once you have a folder with 150 songs it is very annoying to find the song you are looking for.

Please use Direct links or a folder for a single song in the case of platforms/multitracks!

We will give charters the time till the 11th of October to change out their links.
After that date we will remove such links.

I nearly had a heart attack when I first saw this, until I read a bit further...

I link to a folder for each individual song so that I don't have to change the link when new versions/updates are placed in the folder. Glad to know this will still be allowed.

You should be fine. :) We only have problems with the people who link to their whole DLC folder with multiple customs, that is a no-no.

Me too - I do the same. Phew!

I'm in the clear too. Good luck to those who have to change dozens of links. But i understand the problem here.

 

Just a question. In my workshop topic, i have a link to the main folder of all my customs. I suppose i have to remove it ?

@@Antithez Mostly make sure that we can't find any CDLC of official DLC in there cause that would be a problem, other than that in your workshop you're free to link to a full folder.

New to this charting lark, would I need to manually pull down links if/when a song I chart becomes an official Dlc?

If so, what kind of time frame do we have?

The mods will notify you if one of your songs becomes an official DLC, and they'll remove it for you. They're just referring to people that use one "master link" for many songs.

 

Just make sure you provide a unique link for each song you create, and you probably won't have to do anything at all in the event that one of your creations becomes an official DLC.

No, you wouldn't, our staff takes songs down when they get announced. ;)

I think so long as you link to the record page and not directly to the file you should be alright, since as @@GetTheLedOut and @@Lovroman have said the staff here will handle the record pages. However, if you were to link directly to the file from your workshop page or in other comments that could be a problem.

Thanks guys. I'll put my feet up and knock a few more out in that case ;)

is it okay to put a song w/ platform types in a folder?

@@xXDeadeyeXx Yes, a couple versions with other platforms is okay

Same goes with DD, Non-DD, and multichart links
