Thanks for the heads-up, I'll figure out with next ZXDB releaseEinar Saukas wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 7:19 pm A technical note for anyone running websites and apps based on ZXDB:
Column "magrefs.feature_id" is now obsolete and it will be removed in the next ZXDB update. There's already a separate table called "magreffeats" to store this information.
If you are using "magrefs.feature_id", then you can already modify your site. The information that was previously stored in this column is already available in table "magreffeats" now. You would just need to use "magrefs r LEFT JOIN magreffeats f ON r.id = f.magref_id".
We also have "opening screens" for Bowin and the Count Dracula, Batz 'n Balls, Boing!, and Booty.
Thanks. It's going to be important to load disk games at real speed to sometimes tell if a screen is loading or intro.

Are they really opening screens, or loading screens?
Thanks!
No problem. Are the extensions going to be the old ss4 or the new ssx?Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 8:05 am I had already fixed the incorrect file extensions, but we will have to wait for the next ZXDB update to get these fixes. Sorry!
Sorry, I didn't realize [mention]Stefan[/mention] produced some of these new screens so I failed to mention him in the last ZXDB update.
Every ZXDB update has content updates, even when it also includes database model changes. For this reason, I don't think it would help to announce it in 2 different topics.
Would it makes sense to add a md5 field to the files table? So it would be possible to cross check when new/old files arrives.Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 11:04 pm BTW there was a database change this time...
There's now a new table called "files". It combines all content from 3 other tables: "labelfiles", "magfiles", and "toolfiles".
Good point. Now that I'm already collecting file sizes because of this, collecting md5 also shouldn't be a problem.
Great - i Will start using itEinar Saukas wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 5:42 pmGood point. Now that I'm already collecting file sizes because of this, collecting md5 also shouldn't be a problem.
I will implement it ASAP!
