Is this new statistic sheet trying to say I didn't use the correct use of underscore again?
Technically... yes.
The reason for the strict filename rules:
- Users are asked to not have any white spaces in the filename, as this can result in errors on servers.
- I am using scripts to streamline the creation of the Statistic Sheets (to drastically reduce the work-time on these sheets). These scripts are tuned per game to trim certain exported data. It is extra work to "adjust" offsets, or figure out which entry belongs to whom.
Code: Select all
Example:
used_filename_but_misses underscore.wav
could result in:
used_filename_but_misses%20underscore.wav
Depending on the used file server, this can also result in an error while trying to delete files.

If so, I would have someone pay more close attention to who is checking these...
I am checking these...
multiple times after each game round has ended.
In fact, this is the most time consuming thing each Mix(ing) Challenge prior to / while creating the Statistic Sheets.

I meticulously examined this because it got flagged in round 1. I figured out that you use two underscores for round 1... round 2 has the double underscores and a single underscore used only in front of R2...
You got "tagged disqualified" after Mix Round 1, because you didn't copy/paste/edit the filename template.
You got a warning after Mix Round 2. You did indeed copy/paste/edit the filename template, but your username still uses white spaces. This
is not a disqualification. Your mix was still in the game. However, the client didn't select your mix after Round 2 for the podium.
Code: Select all
Here are the used filenames:
Mix Round 1: MC099_LosTimpanis_Falling_Cadence Soundlabs.wav
Mix Round 2: MC099__LosTimpanis__Falling__Cadence Soundlabs_R2.wav
Notice the white spaces of your username
The filename should ideally be:
MC099__LosTimpanis__Falling__Cadence_Soundlabs_R2.wav
or
MC099__LosTimpanis__Falling__CadenceSoundlabs_R2.wav
Everyone that has white spaces in their name, either uses no spaces in between the name, or underscores. It is also general good practice to do this in "the real world" (as in: collaborative work outside of the Mix Challenge community).

I like and appreciate this contest but I feel like if we should have better things to do than to play around with our use of the underscore...
The rules have been crystal clear on this. By joining the game, you agreed to adhere to the given and well established
Rules and Guidelines.
There is nothing to argue here. Please pay more attention to detail with the next Mix(ing) Challenge.
