How to get Recsource up again
Is there someone with a kind heart and proper dedication for our game out there who could take over Recsource from Ville and keep it running? I know there is, luckily our scene are full of people like that But who?
Would it help to get some money? I would gladly pay 10E/month for such a contribution. I do not know technical stuff with computers and servers at all, and I am do not know what was making site keep failing in the past, server?
Either way I would be very happy to get some basic understanding to what would be needed to make it happen, and what possible challenges a project like this could face.
zamppe site is cool but no fullscreen, doesnt work well at all on phone, and I have no idea how to find recs there.
Is it a monthly cost we need to cover? Or is it more a situation where we would need to collect money for a one-off donation to get things running?
Anyway, of all the sites, apps and features the internet provides Recsource is by far the one I miss the most. For me personally Elma is abit hard to handle, with me being all or nothing regarding almost all events in my life. So all periods where I were not playing I was always keeping up with RS. Also amazing cause can watch recs so nice even without elma. And its amazing good to show people you meet irl when talk about life and what you are into, so good to show how the game works. Finding EDQ on youtube and show is not even close. Also you cant keep up with scene watching EDQ every week.
I know I am not the only one missing it. So, how would we go about this?

Re: How to get Recsource up again
i think the new eolsite recplayer covers everything that recsource could
as for the recs themselves well...

Re: How to get Recsource up again
The rs rec database is backed up and possible to bring back up, and iirc it could even be possible to resurrect old links. As arze said, the goal is for elma.online to replace rs and zs completely. It already has most basic recsource features implemented, but of course the website is far from finished...

Re: How to get Recsource up again
would be good to save all the votes and comments from rs too.
really rs system was perfect, mb make the same in elma.online?

Re: How to get Recsource up again
I would also be willing to pay, but not a lot. Living on student money atm (aka, money that is not mine)
It was my fav website, in functionality and looks. Although small improvements possible. (Like settings, playlists osv.)
Was such sick.
But I hev no say ofc, I cannot do these web-magics.
I would like to see a recsource resurrection more than I would an Oasis reunion, really.)
It was great while it lasted though, VJ should be proud :)

Re: How to get Recsource up again
Replays on elma.online is the future, so if there's anything you think is missing please give this feedback and be specific. Of course contributing with actual code would be optimal, but if you can't do that giving feedback is also very valuable and something we get very little of.
Re: How to get Recsource up again
- no fullscreen because it's not needed imo
- doesn't work well on phone because the site is intended for desktop use. Imo if you go to recs.zamppe.com with phone you realy need to re-evaluate your life
- how can't you find recs? what are you trying to do?
Re: How to get Recsource up again
hope just joking, full screen very needed.- no fullscreen because it's not needed imo
imagine elma videos were made in quarter screen size
i don't really like the default zoom on either sites, first thing i do when watch rec is zooming out 2-3x (or going fullscreen on elma.online)
Re: How to get Recsource up again
IMO elma.online just needs the following things:
- Rec search by level, kuski and designer
- Commenting possibility
Recs.zamppe is great. Just would add commenting there as well.

Re: How to get Recsource up again
I watch recs only with phone, so imo very important that its not just for desktop. Recsource was perfect.
Re: How to get Recsource up again
oke, interesting feedback.
it's not a good idea to develop recs.zamppe.com further though, it was always intended as a quick&dirty implemented demo site. New elma site recplayer has so much more potential because it has a direct access to eol database, so it's poss to implement features that are impsy or very annoying to implement to a 3rd party site.

Re: How to get Recsource up again
PLs make grass/pics hidden by default on zamppe/elmaonline or mb add cookies for that.

Re: How to get Recsource up again
I've tried adding those things mentioned here to https://elma.online replays: comments, rating, download .rec, search for replay name in search bar, search for kuski by going to kuski page, search for level by going to level page, some mobile optimizations.

Re: How to get Recsource up again
Very nice! But - seems eol locked levels are available for download and search from the site? Pretty sure levels I have always had "new levels locked" setting on are available there.. would be nice if someone could confirm or deny.Kopaka wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 14:08 I've tried adding those things mentioned here to https://elma.online replays: comments, rating, download .rec, search for replay name in search bar, search for kuski by going to kuski page, search for level by going to level page, some mobile optimizations.
Edit: Maybe I'm wrong and they're just searchable but not downloadable.
Re: How to get Recsource up again
They seem to be undownloadable, but yea, ideally should be filtered out in search.

Re: How to get Recsource up again
What's the difference between TAS and Modded? (if they are even related)
Re: How to get Recsource up again
This I guess (elma.online):
TAS is tool-assisted run, so could be with saveloading, fps changes, and stuff like that, but using the original unmodified physics engine
Modded is for recs made using a modified physics engine, for example nitro

Re: How to get Recsource up again
I think: TAS is when a "tool" (an external program) is used during playing, modded is when you tweak an existing replay.
edit: lol pawq replied at the same time
(and yeah, maybe nitro counts as modded too)

Well, what I wrote above is what I had in mind when I suggested these tags to Kopa

Re: How to get Recsource up again
Makes sense
Still wonder a bit what about tweaked recs, can they go to modded? (although tweaked recs are mega rare)
Re: How to get Recsource up again
Probably, but what do you actually mean by tweaked recs?

Re: How to get Recsource up again
Death uploaded a bunch of fun recs with modded elma. Also old "fun" recs from mila or whoever would fall into that.
then again i don't know anything
maybe easier not to think abouut alöl things thought than not things thought ... or something..=?

Ok, I uploaded one just to test; hopefully I marked it right.)

Re: How to get Recsource up again
yea what pawq said, at the time I think someone has been uploading nitro recs on zrecs and we wanted a distinction between that and SL
