UnExoticA changes

Post by BuZz »

The follwing changes have been implemented into the main UnExoticA script:

Team / Publisher are now links to the team/publisher pages.

Publishers, teams and titles are now sorted case-insensitive.

Years are now links.

Fixed composer information paragraphing.

Now shows last 10 updates instead of last month on Updates Page.

Composers are now sorted in reverse (Surname, Forename) and
there are separate pages for a-z

Composer surnames include the honorifics, i.e. "van der Valk, Paul",
but are still correctly listed under the main part of their surname,
ie "de Agger, Martin" is under "A".

Archive contents display are now sorted on the games page.

Thanks to Kyzer for the code changes and to XtC for suggestions/feedback and keeping this area so up to date with new rips.

Five completely useless statistics.

The UnExoticA pages take up 27Mb of disk space, not including any of the music archives or images.

There are ~78000 links in total over the UnExoticA pages.

The script which makes the pages (including its configuration files and page templates) is ~2000 lines long.

There have been ~1600 updates to the UnExoticA archive since we started, of which a whopping 92% were committed by XtC.

David Whittaker is the biggest name in the archive, appearing in 83 games. Allister Brimble comes next (66 games)... there's a list here.
