Site Updates
Re: Site Updates
After I have added a new entry (viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1316) for the monitor/tracer The Servant I tried to add some data for the spread sheet program Tascalc (ID 11133).
The Servant: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/edit/en ... 7136cbf8df
Up to now I added a promotional flyer and the full inlay from the ZX Spectrum +3 disk package. I would like to add the scan from the full Tascalc manual which is still missing from all ZX archives. Due to the 2MB limit I can't do that - it's 24 a double page scan, which really exceeds that limit. Is there any other way to add this to the database?

Re: Site Updates
Top stuff. It's best if you can upload huge stuff like that to Archive.org, and the various ZXDB sites can remote to it.cha05e90 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 12:20 pm After I have added a new entry (viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1316) for the monitor/tracer The Servant I tried to add some data for the spread sheet program Tascalc (ID 11133).

Re: Site Updates
Hmm, ok. But how did this PDF file made it into ZXDB, then?
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... id=2001502
It would be nice to have the stuff at one place, I think.

Re: Site Updates
Some of the larger files are already linked externally, for instance this PDF file:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... id=2000063
Notice that, although it's stored at Archive.org, there's absolutely no difference for end users.
Please send us your large file anyway, either by email directly, or a link to download it. We will find a good place to store it, and ensure it gets added properly to ZXDB!

Re: Site Updates
So the newest inlays can I find in this archive?
https://archive.org/details/Spectruminl ... herdetails
BTW, why the size of spectruminlayArchivez.zip is more than 7 GB? It doesn't make sence.
HI Pavero, apologies have reuploaded the Z archive as had a old new scans directory attached under zzznewscans
corrected file is below :

Re: Site Updates
Hi, I sent the files for Sophia II last Saturday, yet there have been no updates since then.
Today I also sent the 1.1a version files for Sophia.
Will there be an update to the archive next week?

Re: Site Updates
Hi [mention]PeterJ[/mention] awesome as always... BUT! seems that CGC2018 titles are not in the update?
Edit: oh, I can see them with the link, but I can't search for them, perhaps I need to wait a bit longer for the propagation.

Re: Site Updates
What do you mean? I can see all of them
Re: Site Updates
Hi [mention]druellan[/mention]
If you search with the 'Advanced Search' on the home page the default is not to include 'Crap Games' You need to switch that with the pull down to include them.

Re: Site Updates
Ta dru, Peter has explained why.
That's a good point though, if you click on the link to CGC 2018 via one of the games, it defaults to showing non-crap—for the CSS CGC!
Would it get messy if that was made an exception?
Ahh, well spotted.

Re: Site Updates
Seems to work for me [mention]druellan[/mention] with the 'Include Crap Games' option selected.
We will investigate further.
EDIT - See later emails from Dave and I

Re: Site Updates
Lets have a think about it. I'm off to have my dinner.
Re: Site Updates
Oh, yeah, this is also happening when you want to see all games from an author:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... l_id=18213
Looking at this again, I'm not sure why the crap games are filtered by default. This should be something only related to the advanced search IMHO.
