Games/demos included in resources? (and vice-versa)

If I'm looking in the Resource Section, I see links to download demos and games, and if I go to the Finished Showcase, I see links to download resources. It's kind of confusing. xS

hmm yes I have noticed this as well. Basically we want the Resource section to contain only resources(Music,Scripts,Sprites,Art) and the Finished showcase we only want Games and demos. I will pass this along to an admin thanks amy :)

I'm sorry, I'm having troubles figuring out what you're talking about for the finished showcase. If you could provide a link to the pages you're referring too for me that'd be extremely helpful.

As for the General Resource section, this sadly is a built in system and everything added to it will be displayed. If we were to get it to only display Resources and not games, we'd have to remove the game section entirely from the resource section. Sadly, this is how our system works currently and there is little we can do about it at this time.

Mh, a suggestion:
Non MV-Resources are like a spoiler, you need to chose it before you get to the points in there.
Maybe you could rename the hole thing from Resources to Database and seperate Games and Resource with this header-categorys like the current Non MV-Resources?

Now it's
  1. Plugins 0
  2. Music 1
  3. Enemies 0
  4. Sprites 0
  5. TileSets 0
  6. Graphics 0
  7. Misc 0
  8. Demos 0
  9. Completed Games 0
  10. Non MV Resources 29
    1. Finished Games 6
    2. Demos 3
    3. Scripts 2
    4. Battlers 2
    5. Sprites 0
    6. TileSets 0
    7. Title Screen & Game Over 1
    8. Misc

My suggestion:
  1. Resouces
    1. Music (mostly not RM-related)
    2. MV
      1. Plugins
      2. Graphics
        1. Animation
        2. Battler
        3. Charakter
        4. Faces
        5. Generator parts
        6. Tiles
        7. Pictures (Title, GO & Pictures)
        8. other
    3. Ace
      1. Scripts
      2. Graphics
        1. ...
    4. XP
      1. ...
    5. other
      1. ...
  2. Games
    1. Tech-Demos
    2. Demos
    3. completed Games

You are right that they could possibly fit with other engines, but the most battler and busts out there are edits and therefore bound to the special maker. I wouldn't recommend to seperate all of them, but to have an other-category with graphics > battler and so on, where you could put selfmade ones.
So nobody could think "I found this battler in the battler-category and think I could use them with MV. Now I must delete half of them because they are Ace-stuff and I doesn't have a Ace-license."
Px I hope you can understand my point... Damn, it's so hard for me to express myself in english... Don't want to sound rude.

@PandaMaru I understand to a point, if you'd like to re-edit the list you had above, I'll look into exactly what you wish for us to change, and I could look into changing it to make more sense to the members.
I hope you can understand my point... Damn, it's so hard for me to express myself in english... Don't want to sound rude.
You can always try Google Translate. The grammar might not be the best once translated, but it might help you explain stuff like that better as you're able to type in your native language vs trying to find the right words in english :) Just a suggestion :D

This looks fantastic PandaMaru, the only thing missing is "Scripts" under each maker category. I added it below, I also merged Title and Gameover as one category.

Amazing, thank you for this list. I'll actually go through and add/edit this whenever I get the time. Though I don't think I'll be adding the RMVAce and RMXP, and simply merge them to Other RM software. This is primarily MV related, so it makes since to mostly include MV resources vs. having extra VX Ace, and XP type stuff as separate categories. Of course, this is up to the community to deside as well.

This looks fantastic PandaMaru, the only thing missing is "Scripts" under each maker category. I added it below, I also merged Title and Gameover as one category.

They're technically called Plugins now :D

This is a good idea, but the only thing that changes with XP, VX & Ace is the scripts so maybe have tags for the scripts in Other RM Software. I went ahead and editted the list.

I have seperate Ace and XP because I read a lot of posts in other communitys in which the user want to port they current Ace/Xp-projects to MV, so they are going to use these styls with MV.
I think the tags Ace, VX and XP should be in every category in other RM Software.
