Make sure that your games released under Omnimaga CoT/admin position are included in this download section as soon as possible: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;cat=1

I am grabbing all available screenshots in there for the 10th anniversary Omnimaga video and your game might be missed if it was never uploaded there or if it's not uploaded in time.

Thanks in advance.

NOTE: THis applies to the CoT and managers user group. Also the users' contributed section is being ignored. Make sure you uploaded in the right section.

um... so if we were not in those positions when the files were uploaded, and thus they were uploaded in different places, they are not to be included? i haven't actually released anything yet since i was made a CoT...

It depends if you decided to re-release something under CoT. For example Nitaclu re-released Tetris BASIC and Tetris xLIB under CoT in late 2007, even though he originally released them in 2007. So for example if you re-released TheAXEgamePACK in the staff dl section, it would end up being included too. In the vid it would most likely end up located in the 2011 section, though, as you became staff in 2011.

How to move files to a staff category

You may have noticed that the editing a download to move it into a staff category never really works. When you click the "Edit Download" button on a file editing page like http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=edit&id=1, the script has a nasty habit of blaring
Quote from: An Error Has Occurred!

    You have a required field that is missing information called Author

despite there being no field called Author on the page at all.

What happen?

Files uploaded in the staff categories have an extra field labeled Author (meant to allow staff to upload files on behalf of others). The problem is that the field doesn't appear for any other download category, since they don't need it. That's why when you edit a download to move it into a staff section, it doesn't work -- it's missing information in a required field that isn't there.

Now what?

One way to fix the problem would be to delete and re-upload the file in the right section, but that's too much work (for me). An easier way is to hack the form so it does have the required Author field. The simplest way to do this is simply to rename the "Change Owner" box (assuming you aren't using it) to show up as Author in the script.
Spoiler for Special requirements for Firefox users:
Firefox doesn't come with a developer's toolkit, so you'll have to use an add-on. Firebug is the best I've found so far.
Spoiler for Special requirements for Safari users:
Safari comes with a debugging system, but it's not enabled by default.
  • Open Preferences (from Edit menu, or by pressing Ctrl+,)
  • Click on the Advanced tab
  • Check "Show Develop menu in menu bar" (the Develop menu item should appear immediately)
  • Right-click the text box labeled "Change Owner"
  • Select "Inspect element," and a box should pop up with some HTML junk
  • Find the line that says something like "<input type="text" name="pic_postername" id="pic_postername" value>" (it should be highlighted already), and double-click the first word "pic_postername" (the one right after name=)
  • In the text box that appears, type cus_6 and press Enter
Spoiler for Steps for Internet Explorer users:
  • Get a better browser
  • Press F12
  • Click the icon that looks like a cursor
  • Click on the text box labeled "Change Owner"
  • Find the line that says something like "<input type="text" name="pic_postername" id="pic_postername" value>" (it should be highlighted already), and click the first word "pic_postername" (the one right after name=)
  • In the text box that appears, type cus_6 and press Enter
Done?

Now you can pretend that box is the Author box. Put your username there and submit the form, after changing the category to whatever you need it to be.

It might be good to make screenies and put a link to them, so I dotn need to run every program

Also interesting Deep, I never knew about that. I hate that SMF download system glitch x.x

Are you doing only released games?  I wanted to include a screenie of my latest project, because I promise it's going to be delicious

Sadly yes, because the last times I included projects they all ended up being discontinued the year after, so I no longer take any chance and only include released stuff from now on (S.A.D and ROL4 are included, tho)

Also the vid might arrive prior September 1st, since the newsletter will most likely follow afterward, but I'm not sure yet.

Disregard this, windows movie maker doesn't support GIF start offset change, I can't find any easy to use freeware software nor figure out how to batch convert 100+ gifs to AVI and the other thing I have on my computer that edits vids doesn't support animated gifs.

So there will not be a tribute Omnimaga video in 2011, for the 10th anniversary, unlike the previous 4 years... sighs...
