Satoshi Ookami Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) With the Project Platinum being very famous and large scale events, I was wondering if it would be possible to allow linking guides on forums through updating pictures. Like this: Many threads use this instead of simple links because it's more cute. Obviously, the way we all use it (screening the thumbnail and then linking it through BBCode) is probably sufficient but it would be nice to have a way to link the image directly if possible. Ideally as a part of guide layout. At least for dynamic update of all things on the image. =D Something like this: If the first post is confusing, simply said, I was wondering if we could get something like [guide] tag where you would put link to the guide and it would format a thumbnail like in GUIDES so you could simply put the thumbnail to your thread instead of simple link. Would it be possible? Edited January 4, 2016 by Satoshi Ookami 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanimeGamer Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 A lot/most? of those screen shots have been taken from another persons online guide, which I was reading last week by coincidence. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://ameblo.jp/akuzikikakko/entry-11860944922.html&prev=search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures are mine, though. This isn't about pictures IN guide, it's about the thumbnail you see in the post.

JapanimeGamer Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) The pictures are Kadokawa 2014 copyright on them. Why would this not relate to the thread? The impression is that you are passing something off as yours when it is not. Edited January 4, 2016 by JapanimeGamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 The pictures are Kadokawa 2014 copyright on them. Well, obviously... it's Kadokawa game... Pretty much all screenshots of games have to have copyright. You wanted me to remove the copyright or what? Why would this not relate to the thread? See my edit.

JapanimeGamer Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) I am saying that those are not your pictures like you said they was. They have been used in a previous guide. I understand that this thread is not essentially about your guide and more about the link. The only thing that is confusing is why you are saying they are your pictures when they are identical to someone else guide dated May 2014.

The only thing that is confusing is why you are saying they are your pictures when they are identical to someone else guide dated May 2014. Um... you know the game is the same...? Um... so... maybe... the screenshots as well? So... maybe my screenshots are the same because they were also made by Vita on the same scene? Like... I can't really edit the picture I take with Vita, nor I see the reason to do it. I mean, I still don't have any idea what you are trying to say. Like are you saying I stole the pictures even though screening it myself is much easier? Edited January 4, 2016 by Satoshi Ookami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'll leave you two to yourselves, but i absolutely have to second the original idea. Having a flashier way to link guides would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that this thread is not essentially about your guide and more about the link. The only thing that is confusing is why you are saying they are your pictures when they are identical to someone else guide dated May 2014. What are you talking about? What you're linking to isn't even a guide, it's a review, and none of the images appear to even be the same except for 2 that are in the same scene. They are identical because they're from the same game. There is a copyright at the bottom because when you take a screencap of the game using the buttons on the Vita, Vita game developers are allowed to add that to screencaps of their games, it's the case with many Vita games - Uhh, anyway lol on topic, I'm not certain if what you're recommending would be possible, though it probably is, it would essentially work like trophy cards. It would probably take a bit of work though and it depends on if Sly sees it as worth the work. We don't want to delay that site update any further either Lolz Edited January 4, 2016 by BlindMango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shana Alter Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I like the idea, it'd make things much easier also be a way to link somebody asking for help to a guide as a text link can be overlooked an image not as much. A lot/most? of those screen shots have been taken from another persons online guide, which I was reading last week by coincidence.https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://ameblo.jp/akuzikikakko/entry-11860944922.html&prev=search You are aware how a screenshot from the game(almost ALL games) adds the copyright stuff on the screenshot and I can vouch that the screens were taken by Satoshi due to talk regarding the game and discussing what images should/shouldn't be used.

JapanimeGamer Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) @BlindMango I said 'guide' when I meant 'review'. My mistake. I was saying some of the pictures he used were identical and very coincidental to those used elsewhere and it was my belief that he had used someone else's pictures. After I first mentioned any of this he then admitted that he had used that page for 'reference'. Not that I suppose any of it really matters in hindsight.

And reasoning why would I do that? =) I would actually love to know your reasons for believing I would steal someone's pictures if I played and Platted the game. @BlindMango I did link to a review whilst I was reading a guide elsewhere, I said 'guide' when I meant 'review'. My mistake. This guide, right? http://ameblo.jp/sio-zingu/entry-11894861573.html This is what I used, it's the same page, just different blog post.

JapanimeGamer Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I don't want to bang on about this. All I will say is that you used pictures that i found identical versions of on a different review/guide. After mentioning this to you you admit to having used that website for 'reference' which in itself is a massive coincidence. To answer as to 'why would you do that?' For simplicity could be a reason. I don't want to keep on about this because it detracts from you original good idea of linking guides. I am not trying to hide, if you want to talk about it in personal messages that's ok, but this thread wasn't really the place for me to comment and you was right in that, so for that alone i will apologise.

We don't want to delay that site update any further either Lolz It's doable, just like the trophy cards. Most likely done with PHP and one of THESE libraries. Though, it can be done using any program really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank you for that and accept the apology, per your request, I'm continuing this through PM. Please do refer to any other links you found if the comparison I sent you (and here so people can point out mistakes I may have made) is not sufficient =) Comparison here: (Because one is apparently lot/most ) Options - Don't see anything on the review Skip - again Warning - again Choice - I hope you are not colorblind so I don't offend you, but is red same as black? Photo - Yes, that is the same. Why? Simple reason, it's the tutorial Training - You are learning Japanese, you should be able to see the difference in text Match preparation - Not there Match - I neither see 0:27 on the clock nor the 10:2 score QTE Action - Not there Accident photos - Not there Evaluation - Not there The reason why I'm still continuing with this is because I take pride in guide writing and if someone accuses me of plagiarizing, it would definitely hurt my future guides. And if so, people won't want to use them. Edited January 4, 2016 by Satoshi Ookami 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Someone is seriously acting surprised and/or annoyed that two sets of screenshots from the same game in the same scene happen to look similar? o.o Anyway, this thread is just you advertising your newest guide, I know your secret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZoneHunter Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 You can just take screens and link it as shown in my beautiful example in the HDN PP thread But yes i agree, great suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
