Ripping/Uploading Guidelines for vg-resource.com Domains?
#1
Exclamation 
For a site archive of game media asset resources, I see a lack of ripping/uploading guidelines. For the section parameters, I believe that it was nothing, but turns out that there is an expected list of string values. I didn't know that sprites require to be in the form of sheets. I don't know why it would be in the form of sheets. .png should be good enough. Of course, I do recognize that sheets provide a sense of a image preview, but I highly doubt that it would be use just like that. Sheets used in a rpg or fighting game, maybe okay. Sheets used in fps, not so okay. Come on people, why is this archive quite disorganized enough to not help new members to follow suit and make uploading procedures skim a bit easier? Yes, be specific for every single domain that serve a specific media type of files. I would rather see a welcome (bookmarked) private message(s) showing the ropes around and stuff. I mean, the guidelines ain't that vague, is it?

I see no board spoiler tags/elements either, but that's a different story.

There's a link to the wiki on the top bar (which scrolls with the page). Here's a link to the info about submissions. Scroll down and you'll see links to articles about submitting to each individual resource.

The wiki is still being worked on (it's fairly new) so not everything will be complete, but it gives the basic concepts and should help new people get to grips. Everybody with a month membership at 20 worthwhile posts can contribute, so you can be sure that pretty much everything that is written is by people who know what they're talking about.

If you select "New Section" there will appear a text box where you can enter the new section's name.

Spoiler tags don't have a button (I'm not exactly sure why) but you can write them yourself. For example this:

Code:
[SPOILER]
Spoiler stuff!
[SPOILER=Even more spoilery!]
Very spoiler stuff!
[/SPOILER]
[/SPOILER]

Produces this:

The wiki is quite sparse. Hopefully, in some way, it will be bloated enough to fulfill every criteria in the uploading faqs.
