Roles Hierarchy

    • sprite-tester ("Tester")
    • sprite-submitter ("Artist")

sprite-tester & sprite-submitter are on the same level and a single user may have both roles.

A higher role assumes the rights of all lower roles.

Blue & Green Names on ALttPR's Discord will probably be auto-added as sprite-tester-guild

Submission Form

New Sprite Submission

• Submission #1
• Sprite Name
• Sprite Author (original creator of sprite file) (auto-detect from login)
  • Sprite Author's Discord Username (exampleusername#1234) (auto-detect from user profile)

Not-New Sprite Submission

1. Select Sprite from existing list
2. Increment submission number
3. Display current sprite information
   • Sprite Name

   • VT Version
   • Submission Version

  • Sprite Modifier's Discord Username (auto-detect from user profile)

All Submissions

• Upload Form (only accepting .zspr)
• Source material URL/upload, if necessary
• Category list (needs more brainstorming on how to do this)
• Generate filename; sprite-name.vt-version.submission-version.zspr
  • Where sprite-name is unique
    • If there's a collision, flag it for sprite-manager and slap a timestamp on the end for now to force it to be unique
  • Where vt-version is the version currently on the site, 0 if brand new
  • Where submission-version is the number of times this sprite has been submitted for this VT version

Example

• Cucco (as of VT Generator Version 29) is a brand new sprite
  • The current Live filename doesn't exist
  • A submission for testing would result in a filename of cucco.0.1.zspr
  • A new one being cucco.1.zspr when submitted to VT
• Mike Jones (as of VT Generator Version 29) has had two versions submitted to VT's site
  • The current Live filename is mikejones.2.zspr
  • A submission for testing would result in a filename of mikejones.2.1.zspr
  • A new one being mikejones.3.zspr when submitted to VT
