    Quest Database (sorry about that)

    A while back, we had some internet problems here at home. Modem breaking and all that. I just want everyone to know that I'm sorry about vanishing for nearly a month. I will begin looking at the QDB again shortly, and trying to look into getting a solution up (personally, I'm beginning to think a scrap and start over might be the best solution for the site at this point).
    Oh, if you want it to be possesive, it's just "i-t-s"; but if you want it to be a contraction then it's "i-t-apostrophe-s"... scallawag.

    Scapping all that work seems a bit extreme to me, ya don't junk your car just because it gets a flat.

    That IS a good idea. Right now we have an OoT link artwork on a program which is a supposed to be a Z1 clone, and that it has a rather dull boring brown background with Lttp graphics. Out with the old and in with the new! (You know, I was going to put an "aggresive" word in the there but) (.__.)he disagrees

    Changing a few graphics is one thing, rewritting a database is another.

    No, but you do when the various repair costs don't seem to be worth the trouble in comparison to buying a new model. There are several problems with the current site, some of which are with the administrative control panel. Functions which worked in the past mysteriously ceased function, and the person who coded the majority of the site has moved on with his life. Personally, I'm in favor of a much simpler design (less that goes wrong that way), possibly even having a seperate DB setup than that of the ZC.com main page.

    scrap all and start afresh.... its the simplist (most effective) way to fix most problems with windows... so why not with a database?

    Windows 10 Pro x64 | Intel Core i7 @ 2.66GHZ | Asus P6T Motherboard | 6GB DDR3 RAM | Integrated Sound | Nvidia Geforce 560 Ti 2048MB PCI-E | Corsair AX760 Power Supply | Thermaltake Armor+ MX case

    There was a seperate QDB site to that of the main ZC.com one in the past - about three or four years ago, I believe.

    Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)

    Just start with uploading quests till you have made a new one.
    We have this one and have to deal with it till you can show a better one .
    It also would be a good idea if someone else also can upload instead of now only one person , we saw what happened when you where away................nothing , nothing at all happened
    People get nervous again , the questdatabase looks out of order again, and new quests aren't uploaded .
    be a little creative till everything works again , like now you can't upload screens in the Questdatabase , make a thread in the forum put the screenies there till you can put them in the questdatabase and make a link in the questdatabase in the quest for the thread where they can see the screenies

    Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)

    Tygore, I agree with Elise and Freedom. Don't scrap it unless you absolutely have to. Also, Eckels has been around lately, maybe he'll listen now.

    Anyway, back to my point. If you would like assistance with running the DB (uploading quests and such), I'll be glad to help. Just a thought. 2 heads are better than 1. At least in this aspect. If for some reason one should go down, you'll have the other to cover. But, that's an admin call. Might be a good idea to bring it up to them.

    I'd hate to see this happen again.
    The ZC.com Database is alive!!

    Re: Quest Database (sorry about that)

    I'm a little torn on this one... I agree with both sides in some way.

    For the "scrap it!" side, I agree because, well, it would be the more efficient way of fixing the QDB problem. The recent QDB is completely screwed up. We don't have a flat tire, we have problems with the engine, transmission, and control panel!

    For the "fix it!" side, I agree since people would have to reupload all of the quests. Not only that, but the votes, comments, downloads, and upload/update dates would all be reset.

    Which would be the better choice? (Great to hear that you're back, Tygore! :) )
    My quests:
    End of Time - First quest, uses classic graphics (Help/discussion thread)
    Link to the Heavens - Second quest, uses Pure tileset (YouTube LP | Help/discussion thread)
    End of Time DX - Remake of my first quest (YouTube LP | Help/discussion thread)
