It is related to this journal entry here: askmmdyugi.deviantart.com/jour…

Do not get offended if your comments are hidden

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why post this entry?
We are tired of getting repeated notes, asking the same questions over and over (even when we stated in the entry, the same questions were asked.....). Posting a FAQ will solve it

Why type certain parts in CAPS?
Some users didn't read all of the entries, typing in CAPS would help them notice better. Though it is not good to type in CAPS, users on several occasions did not read everything in the entries.

Why I need to read it?
Because one of your questions might be in there

Why are some comments hidden?
Read here: askmmdyugi.deviantart.com/jour…

What are the color bullets for? 
When we first posted the entry a long time ago, it was a wall of text. Even for us, it was hard to read it so we used a color coded system to make it easier for users to read in certain areas.

(Name of model) is being distributed publicly, why didn't you add their link to the list already after (certain amount of time)? 
When we add links to the list, we have to go through an approval system, remember some modelers do not like their links to be publicly displayed. Not every link had to go through an approval system, just a selected few were. Not all modelers allow their links to be publicly displayed in entries such as this. Do not expect that every link will be listed in the journal entry.

Why the link was removed, it was there before?
As stated, we will only remove the links if the owners tell us to remove it OR users violated the journal entry rules

What happens if I share password of model?
Modelers will either stop distribution of model/change passwords to the models. Those who share passwords will be held responsible. It is advise to not do this.

This model is unavailable (or limited DL), why keep their link up?
To let users know that the model is unavailable. Sometimes word would pass too late and users would think the model is still unavailable and it's not. Make sure to pay attention to ANY side-notes by the links

What is the purpose of the Yu-gi-oh model links?
To help users find Yu-gi-oh models that are not available to find on DA, some users have a difficult time to find the models.

Why (name of model) has this rule now, it was not there before?
As stated, these models are not ours and are subject to change without notice. It is common some modelers do not update their ReadMes, it is advise to keep up with the changes.

How often the list get updated?
It depends on our schedule, we encourage you to check the list twice or more every week.

You forgot about this character! Why didn't you put the link yet?
We did not forget, remember we run on a schedule. We will add link to the list once we have time to (if we need permission from modeler)

Can we share the journal entry link of the Yu-gi-oh models?
Yes 

Did you make the models?
 No, these models are done by different users. You will see their names in the entry 

Can you please take the links down, the users can find it themselves?
While we do agree to an extent that users need to find things themselves, but everyone are not the same. Some users actually try finding it and have a hard time. We are not going to tell them to look for the links themselves because to us, it is mean. If you were in their shoes, you would understand why users have a hard time finding the links. The entry does not violate the rules to our knowledge, no passwords were shared. If a password was mentioned in the comments, it would result in the entry being taken down. If the owners of the models contacted us, telling us to remove the links then we will remove the links. As of now, we did not receive any complaints from the owners of the models to take entry down.

In the entry, can we help others with the password by commenting in it?
As of this entry: askmmdyugi.deviantart.com/jour… you cannot ask for more assistance with it or have a discussion about pass hints. This is a precaution we have to take.

Why you don't want us to say the password in the journal entry?
We do not want to upset the modelers, especially when they said not to share the password. 

I don't understand the hint, help?
Please ask a friend for assistance, we are not allowed to offer more assistance. (It is best to ask the modeler for assistance)

We download the Yami Yugi and Yugi models, something is wrong with their hands, can you help?
If you scroll down in this entry: askmmdyugi.deviantart.com/jour… , we put tutorials done by other users. This is only about the Yu-gi-oh models and the common problems we see around DA. 

Hey, you didn't add my Yu-gi-oh model/model edit to the list, why?
We only add links that users have trouble obtaining, also your link can be easily obtained and therefore not necessary to post the link in entry. We do not add links that are from DA, seeing that we all are on DA. These links we posted are not common and users have trouble finding it.

What is the password of (insert model name here)?
We are not authorized to give out passwords, we saved most people a lot of work by posting a list of links. We cannot help you any further because we did a lot in order to make this easier for users. 

Where did you get the Pharaoh Atemu model!?
He is an edit of omomo's Yami Yugi, omomo did make a Pharaoh verison, but did not distribute it. If you do not see the model listed in the links then it means that it is an edit we did. This goes for any model edit like the Season 0s, Taso and his friends and many more edits. Though we wouldn't recommend to ask us what "specific" parts we used (because most of the time we forget what parts we used and Readmes get lost), we will send you links to help you out. We don't mind you asking, just don't ask "What model part you used for (name of object).

Can I have the Pharaoh Atemu model?
No, he is an edit of omomo's model and in the Readme, we are not allowed to redistributed.. 

Can you email (name of model) to me, I don't understand Japanese etc.?
We run on a specific schedule and we did not have enough time to email the model data to you. We suggest you ask a friend to help you. There are also translators you can use (though some are terrible...). Also, it is not fair to others, if we emailed you then we will have to email everyone else. It is not allowed to redistribute the data.

None of the links work for me, help?
There is no other way besides the links we provided, you will have to find another link somewhere else to solve your problem. Make sure your browser is working correctly and make sure you are using the correct device when accessing the links or downloading models

When (name of model) was posted?
We don't post what specific dates the models were posted. When we see a new model, we add the link to the "bank of links."

(Name of model)'s texture are not coming up right, how do I fix it!?
It means some of the model's textures names are "gibberish" and your computer is not reading them correctly. You will have to rename the textures and open up the model into PMX editor to replace the texture. Some users have their computers set to Japanese locale (or other locale) which is why it would sometimes work for them. Here are some tutorials to help you with textures problems: m0emo3.deviantart.com/art/PMX-… www.deviantart.com/art/Texture…

Do you list every Yugioh model?
We only list models that are released to the public (that we are allowed to list), this does not include private models (models that are shared privately between certain users, this includes modellers giving passwords only to a selected few). Keep in mind that not all modelers like their links to be publicly posted. 

When did the model update?
We do make side-notes if the model updates, when the first link is posted (depending on the modeler), they would often post a completely new link. We keep the old links just in case if the pmx file of the model needed to be updated, mostly it's the textures that need to be transferred over to the new model data.  

What happened to the Mokuba model?
The model is a special case and is hard to obtain, we did not post where his download link was because the owner stopped distribution (no reason specified).

Can I have the Mokuba model?
No.

Can I ask the file type of the model?
Yes, you can, the majority of the models are .pmx and locked in a .ZIP type files. If different from what we listed, you can ask for clarification.

How did you get the Mokuba model!?
We got him when he was available at the time. We are surprised that we found his model data in a collection of model datas we have.

Omomo's Yami Yugi and Yugi model files are .lzh, how do you open them?
Users used Winrar or any other programs that open rar or zip files and it worked. We do not have a direct link to Winrar

Omomo's Yami Yugi and Yugi model files are gone, what happened?
We are not allowed to explain in detail (owner removed model link). If you still have model data, please refer to the latest rules posted by omomo in their Twitter. Do not redistribute model.

Why are you mean, I am still having trouble with getting (name of model)!?
Mean you say? So posting every link we can find for you all AND posting the instructions is mean. If we were mean then we would have deleted the entry completely and not help period.

You like to show off those models!?
No, we only post models just to remind our watchers that the list updated. Sometimes we do post the new models up in deviations and sometimes we don't. We do not rub salt in wounds.

This model is a (insert file type here) and I can't open that file, can you convert it to a file that I can open and send it to me?
No, please find a friend that will help you with it.

I cannot understand the model's Readme, it's all gibberish! Help?

I am using a translator and I still cannot understand the hint, help?
It depends on what translator you are using, if you are still stuck, it is advise to ask the modeler. You can contact the modeler through their Twitter/NicoNico account. (Try to find a better translator)

Can we upload our own links of the models by putting them in a Mediafire account (or any other sites)?
Remember this is your choice if you want to do it or not. We say no, because the modelers say we cannot redistribute the model data according to the ReadMes. We understand that not every user have access to niconico or any other site the model is located. We are not hunting down anyone that does this, we all have responsibility.

What the clock on the DLs mean? The link is still up, but I cannot DL IT!
Modelers typically have "timed DLs" meaning it is not a permanent DL. We try not to list "temporary DLs" because they are timed and it would be no point in displaying in the journal since it is timed. When modelers have temporary DL, it is possible they will update the model in the future (it is their choice).

I don't have Twitter or Nico Account, can my friend ask the modeler for me?
No, you must have your own Nico or Twitter account and contact them yourself. Modelers would believe your friend would try to share passwords with other users. It is best to ask them yourself.

Some models require password?
^Refer to the previous Questions Above^

Can we convert model data to SFM or any other program?
No, many modelers do not allow their model data to be converted. They are for MMD and MMM use only
