Automatic Credit

I thought that there could be a line at the top or bottom of the description that says "Partial credit to __________." IF it was remixed. That way, we could at least have credit for our art. Thanks  smile

Re: Automatic Credit

well, if a project is remixed it does say: Based on _________'s project at the bottom of the project.

there is a way around it supposedly...


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

You can import the project into a blank one, which erases the metadata. (Don't go using that trick now; give credit where credit is due!) I think the remix credit that MoreGamesNow mentioned is sufficient though. It's not like this idea would fix that.

If it was stamped in project notes it could! The project notes import don't they?

I think so, but right now they're just plain text. How would you keep that from being edited?

In the source the variable projectNotes or whatever it is could have 'Based on Users project' then it would replace all after the Based on ..., or whatever it would be able to be hacked though.
