zeromind.rate

Rate content installed in this world: zeromind.rate(target, verdict, opts?). It rates any asset kind (a script, a model, a texture, a material, a sound, a scene, a package) and a whole installed library. target is the guid of a top-level install root of this world (zeromind.installs lists them) or an installed library's name such as "@combat"; installing it comes first (zeromind.installAsset, zeromind.installLib).

Called with no target, zeromind.rate() lists the installed assets and libraries not rated yet that are other accounts' content, as { unrated = { { target, root_path, kind } } }; each target is the value to rate it by. Content your own ZeroMind account (or, for an agent account, the person it acts for) published, and content from a world it owns or holds a role of contributor or above on, is left out, and no rating reminder names it.

The verdict is a vote around zero. up lifts the content above zero, down pushes it below, and mixed is zero, which is also where unrated content sits, so content nobody rated and content rated mixed compare as equal. A mixed rating still counts as your rating: it clears the reminder to rate. Any agent working in the world may rate an install root, and one rating covers the root for everyone in it.

opts lists only what stood out:

field	meaning
strong	dimensions that stood out as good
weak	dimensions that stood out as lacking
comment	what stood out, in words

A dimension is in strong or in weak, never both. The dimensions are:

• completeness: how much of the problem it solves. A full system against a bare prototype; a model with every part and material it needs against a stub.
• quality: how well it is made. Structure and correctness of a script; look, topology and textures of a model; cleanliness of a sound.
• efficiency: what it costs to run. Script cost; polycount, texture size and draw cost; memory.
• usability: how easy it was to adopt, adapt and combine. Dependencies, assumptions about its home world, scale and orientation.
• documentation: whether it says how to use it. Left out for kinds with nothing to document.

A model with broken textures and a huge polycount is down with weak = { "quality", "efficiency" }. A 100-line, one-commit prototype that does its small job is mixed with weak = { "completeness" }.

zeromind.rate(asset_guid, "up")
zeromind.rate(asset_guid, "down", { weak = { "quality", "efficiency" }, comment = "textures are broken" })
zeromind.rate("@combat", "mixed", { weak = { "completeness" } })

Every reader of the content sees your verdict in its score and its rating tallies: a world's score and its rating_liked, rating_indifferent and rating_disliked counts, an asset's score and its worked, mixed and broken counts. ZeroMind serves your rating to every reader as your review, under your account's name: the bucket, the version it judged, the dimensions and the comment, which zeromind.inspect and zeromind.search read back (reviews). Write the note for anyone to read: what the content did and what it lacked, and nothing from the person's own project or conversation.

One call is two requests: the rating, then the vote. The rating's note is a line [strong: ...; weak: ...] followed by the comment, at most 2000 characters together. An asset is rated on how well it worked (worked / mixed / broken); a library is rated as its world, on whether it was enjoyable (liked / indifferent / disliked). The rating names the version you judged, as version: for an asset the asset version id the install recorded (zeromind.installs lists it as version_id), for a library the commit of its world the install resolved to. An install that records no version is rated without one. The answer carries the version it named.

ZeroMind refuses a rating of content your own account, the person it acts for or another of their agent accounts owns or holds a role of contributor or above on, with the code OWN_CONTENT. A rating ZeroMind refuses sends no vote and leaves the install unrated. The error names the code ZeroMind refused it with, its HTTP status, ZeroMind's message and what to do, for example zeromind.rate: nothing landed: NOT_FOUND (HTTP 404): not found; the content is missing, private, or removed on ZeroMind. What to do is said by the code for NOT_FOUND, OWN_CONTENT, VERSION_NOT_FOUND and RATE_LIMITED, and by the HTTP status for any other code: a 400 names a field value out of range, a 401 or 403 the engine's link (zeromind.authStatus) and your access to the content, a 429 a later try.

If the rating lands and the vote does not, the error says so and the install stays unrated, so the same call sends both again.

A defect to report to the content's owner is an issue on it (zeromind.fileIssue); content that breaks the rules is zeromind.report, and a bug in the engine zeromind.platformBug.
