NetEase 🤝 TJ (not replying to mails)

[pale basin]

Maybe when I go to China next, make a Chinese email account 🤣

[reef jolt]

why am I thinking they just never check overseas mail account and only qq instead

do I have to use my qq mail now

[pale basin]

Possible

Idk

Could be filtered domain

[ancient star]

They were on holiday for like 10 days so I'm expecting a response this week for my attempts

[reef jolt]

hope they will actually respond this time

[timber plume]

Some updates on timing, we have few more days to do cleanup (it will be within upcoming development sprint, starting Thursday onwards)

[wooden yew]

Can we start export this week?

[timber plume]

It's possible to be this week, our devs are working on a "Sprint" system which is a set of fixed period (excluding weekends). Export is currently slated for our next Sprint starting from Thursday + Next Week

There are some stuff preparation needed on our end, one of them would include that the exported pages would need to be halted from editing so the export could go

but we'll provide updates when ready on this one, shouldnt be too long of a wait (just not today)

[wooden yew]

what is sprint system

[timber plume]

sprint is basically an amount of time in which you can accomplish a presentable/achievable goal.

So 1 Sprint for Devs will be 2 weeks ( 10 days ) this is where tasks for devs are added to a single sprint. If it gets too stacked or overloaded then some of it may be moved over to the next one.

For Exporting the wiki they are currently listed for the upcoming Sprint starting Thursday

[wooden yew]

So the export is manually by devs?

I thought the export tool could automatically export

[timber plume]

The tool can do exporting pages on its own when setup, however it's still requiring a wiki to be installed first so the export can work on its own. The wiki installing part is still requiring devs to setting that one up

[timber plume]

So basically the process should go like this

Export tool is being setup 
The tool starts exporting (exported pages needs to not be touched or edited during this process)```

btw don't forget to check my message in the Project Mainpage
There's a namespace change from IDV to identityv

[timber plume]

this is noted on our end

[viral agate]

Kk,thx

[timber plume]

yay finally added all vods of all idl matches

[delicate frost]

sorry if late, here is the spreadsheet I collect common CN-EN vocabularies found in idv competitions

[ancient star]

oo this is really helpful

[timber plume]

Next stuff we could look is formatting cleanup for IJL + Seems that we still missing some rosters? ( early IJL has IVT teams )

[hearty basin]

Heya; a bit of a suggetion I had what we could try to do a bit ahead of the export as well;

Maybe we could add the Want to help boxes spread across tournament pages;
E.g taken one from LoL:

{{Want_to_Help
|issue=Missing match details
|fix=Add all the missing match details such as Pick and Bans, VoDs etc.
|date=2025-10-14
}}```

or 

```{{Want_to_Help
|issue=Missing Complete Broadcast Talent
|fix=Add the missing Broadcast Talent, for English stream or different languages
|date=2025-10-10
}}```

I was thinking, maybe placing the WTH above each section where it applies could help newer people directly with where to contribute.

Kind of wanted to see if we can do this for when we launch the wiki/make the announcement, that new visitors then might have a bit more incentive to try and help

Also good for us to then keep the overview of what needs to be completed on each tournament page

[timber plume]

I'm currently in process of cleaning up IJL stuff (Export should now be on next week, as devs normally dont do deploys on friday)

[hearty basin]

@timber plume From the above I had messaged, should I add that now to every tournament page with already a note that match details would need to be filled in for most tournaments. (Since we'll need that once we have the new match pop-up after the export) and then also go over the other tournaments to see what else can be added (E.g missing vods/flags etc etc)

[timber plume]

Having help box would be good thing, and yes we'll get a dedicated match2 for it anyway

[hearty basin]

o7, coolcool, will go over the tournaments now then

Think it might be a good move that once we have it exported/announce it on socials, we can then hpefully invite more people to contribute/give them some direction where to help

[hearty basin]

Just wondering, should I put it just at the top of the page, or above the bracket/group stages @timber plume

[timber plume]

Hmm, maybe top of the page so people see it first?

[hearty basin]

o7

[timber plume]

Format cleanup for IJL done, yay

we still got no response from netease

[ancient star]

sadly no but I have one more I can try

[timber plume]

I think for now given that its just IVL and IJL ongoing, our next set of events to track can be the qualifiers for each COA (the ones that isnt IVC/leagues)

we seem to have COA8 done, so we can going back downwards. As for export we expect process to kick off in the coming days

[ancient star]

I have received a follow-up question about using player photos. No decision from them yet but at least they're considering it

[timber plume]

That's a very good step at least they are aware, did they ask anything that they are unsure about? or just they are thinking about it only atm

[ancient star]

They just asked if I want pictures from only my own team versus all teams

[timber plume]

I see, I assume you did mention them that we are looking for a long term permission that would cover just all past, current and future events (it's a broad permission so we dont have to ask them all the time)

[ancient star]

I didn't explicitly say long term permission, but I mentioned that we would want to use images from both @IdentityVChamp (mostly japanese) and official IDV weibo for chinese>

I am talking through at least 1 middle-person, but I'll try to get the details through

[timber plume]

That's good enough, let me know if they want any specific details from our end, we could help provide that

[ancient star]

This what was sent to me

Sounds like they are on board, do we need a written statement specifcally to us or something

[pale basin]

For commercial use?

[pale basin]

Would be better yes

[timber plume]

Ideally, please have them sent that confirmation to our mail [email protected]
(They can just copied the text they sent to you and send it again to our mail actually)

That way we have a concrete confirmation of the allowance

[white pike]

@hearty basin Need your help on inputting the rest of matches in IVL Autumn

[timber plume]

Some more updates, we're still on track on it (its currently a bit on hold, but hopefully it will be soon)

Did netease follow up with any response since they last replied you? @ancient star
(We still havent got mail from NetEase through our inbox after that)

[ancient star]

No response but I asked again

[pale basin]

We currently don't have map name input for most of the leagues right

[timber plume]

Yeah, partially seen on just some events

[ancient star]

I had my contact ask their boss who works at netease for permission to screenshot the conversation with the text I forwarded earlier

[timber plume]

hopefully we get them to send mail through our way. Its really good that we are able to establish connection with them in a way

[ancient star]

If we really need an email, I have another contact but they only work for japanese side so wouldn't have all the pictures for ivl

[timber plume]

Thats is fine because the permission can stack together for example the JP side could sent one to permit us that would cover their range (e.g. I presume IJL photos) so we can use at least IJL stuff and when NetEase permits us the rest those two would just combined together fine

[timber plume]

I manage the impossible: COA1 team logos lol

Final option being COA1 Vods casually showing logos during team introduction in a larger size + some recreation of it

[ancient star]

Dang and you got them high res

[ancient star]

This is what I got from the first contact. I have second one following up.

And I did ask for it to be emailed but n0odles said he doesn't have time right now

[timber plume]

That's ok, at least it means we'll eventually get the mail

if noodles need an LP rep he wants to contact, like employee directly feel free to give my discord contact for him or Roy to reach out
