do we need all those *bans, i.e. romanized editions?

Astronoka Taikenban (Demo Movie) (Japan) (Demo)
would have to be other way round, i suppose, with 'Demo Movie' in 'Additional'
Astronoka Taikenban (Japan) (Demo) (Demo Movie)
but it isn't possible in current db

I just hope Dremora is serious about writing a new site, where noone will be able to edit the entries so easy, because with such a "smart" crew, which members rename everything 10 times a month on their own without any discussions and without any logic, this project is going into f@#king nowhere. Over.

Nope i dont like this change at all.. I agree that Taikenban is demo therefor it should be (Demo) but nothing more than that.. thats my 2 cents atleast.. A discussion about this would have been great btw..

i certainly hope so, mr. Neon Genesis aka. 'we have to redump everything'

'without any discussions' so since you're unable to contribute to discussion within an week
one so important to you, btw, you're all pissed now
i presume you require personal invitation or something to grant your audience,
is that right F1ReB4LL?

also, absence of any guides regarding naming at all
and nothing really being done, except anouncment posted after 5 months of 'careful considerations'
somewhat contributes to this situation, don't you think, Administrator?

though you forgot to mention it's that 'squeeze it all in one field' (inappropriate field, may i add) kind of no-intro

it's not an version it's an stand alone flag, by the look of it - was version before, i've changed that.

^^^this is only thing that should go version

(Demo), not (whatever-ban) bacause it is an flag - that's how it works, like (Unl) or (Promo) or (Beta)
it should ease things not obfuscate
having this flag endlessly customizable defeats purpose of having one
then as well this part could go to title, like on satakore <- that's what i've done
but since there is (Demo) flag now in that place, it is unneccessary, so that was my mistake

only constructive comment so far - 1st in a week, thank you very much gorelord4e

i do agree 'Taikenban' shouldn't be visible in .dat at all
it could be moved to 'Edition' or in other words 'Additional' flag
but what will happen - it will disappear - the same as with 'Original',
because as (Japan) = Original; (Japan)+(Demo) = Taikenban - it's redundant
so .dat output will be the same as if when removing it at all
and this will put more stress on coding part
as generic entries, those that should not appear in .dat, would have to be updated constantly
is this neccessary - i don't know - more opinions are welcome

so how this should work, as i see it:
1. every record with  'Category' 'Demo' gets (Demo) flag in .dat automatically (should there be category - isn't in no-intro)
2. those with custom description (different from Demo or Taikenban, etc. in other languages)
get it in Additional flag and output to .dat

so let's remove them from title for now and enjoy weekend, can everyone agree on that?

Demo, Taikenban, Sampleban, Sample, Promo, Hibaihin, Not For Sale, Shikyouhin, Mihonhin/Mihon Hin, etc. should be in Edition. You can name it Sample, Demo or whatever in the dats, it's not that critical.

http://forum.redump.org/post/13076/#p13076 -- I've told everything already almost a year ago.

Also, I've meant not only you, I can name at least 3 mods, who like to rename on their own without any discussions.

As I've said already, at least Japanese Saturn, Sega CD and 3DO discs have the revisions in their ringcodes, so we can switch to it (we can enter both version and revision into Version field for Saturn CDs, but only revision into Version (datfile) field for the dats).

You can always PM me before such a massive renamings.
