Snapshot import detection
August 12th, 2006 in New FeaturesA few members were upset when new snapshot were placed in the public gallery that were clearly just “defacings” of existing snapshots. In other words, the artist only changed a few things, only moved a few tiles, and more often than not the result wouldn’t be quite as pleasing as the original.
Yet, the snapshot would show the original artist as having had their hand in this! The original artist would then protest saying “I did NOT make this munted, low class version so please don’t have my name listed there!”
Well, well, this is now all fixed. If a snapshot is imported, then it will show from now on and it will indicate the original snapshot and the original artists.
This function is so cool, it can follow unlimited generations. So it may be imported from an imported snapshot that was imported… you get the idea … and it will be able to distinguish each artists contribution in the tile highlighting, even if the same artist was involved in several generations!
