Cebion Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Whoever is submitting the 3D-Box Covers of Wii please don't. The Covers have an USB-Loader logo on the side of the cover. Again I don't now if the others have rejected it as well but beside posting here I have no chance of comunicating these things with the other mods.

mlsaunders1985 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I've been rejecting them. Not just because of the logo on the side, but they're all terrible quality in some really low resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they're being directly pulled from here, it's where I've been getting a lot of the WiiWare game information I've been submitting.

DOS76 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 You should ask Jason to add a DB mods section to the discord server and then you guys can communicate and chat real time with each other about troubling post or moderation's that are proving troublesome you could all also private chat over there right now if you wanted with out the mod subchannel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live in different time zones so each time of a day different mods are online and it only takes 3 approvals so thats no help. I sometimes speak with Fisty or Sentai but thats about it. Of course here but not everyone reads the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't caught that either - I'll be sure to reject with a comment about the generic case. That being said, is there a better source that those could be pulled from? Or, alternatively, is this a situation where there's a good template PSD for making 3d cases? Presumably that's how those ones from GameTDB were generated, but with the generic "USB Loader" 3d case image. I don't know if there's a reliable source for full covers, but sites like vgaboxart.com show a lot of custom boxes (Wii: http://vgboxart.com/browse-covers/Wii), and several folks have posted templates to places like DeviantArt. I don't really do a lot with Wii, but I could imagine that this is just as applicable to any platforms from Dreamcast & Gamecube to current generation consoles. If there isn't a consistent "retail-direct" source for 3d cases, then it stands to reason that either A) standardized templates should be endorsed that can be used to slot in "box fronts" and "spine" content, or B) 3d cases for these platforms should not be accepted at all (since any such images would be Photoshopped/"fanart").

FistyDollars Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I like the idea of having a GamesDB channel on the Discord, it'd be good to not have to make a thread for every problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
