aand now you didn't see he edited his post.

this is how wars start.

you don't. not unless you want to use a public ROM that's available on a specific server, like the community remix one was.

while this would have allowed fair cooperation, I heard it was never used much. the feature is now mostly useless.
so well, all you can do is ignore it, select your ROM and move on.

please don't post the same thread twice at two different places just for in case one is not right.
also you're not spelling question right.

let me ask you this. have you asked our dear friend Google?

I doubt you need a specific software like Acmlmboard, so you could just pick up any result from google and go with it.

no worries, I've known where those were for five years. I made an offline rant just now for fun.

"back in MY day the average hacker knew how to edit the titlescreen graphics"


regardless, the only one who actually edited the titlescreen NSCs is Skawo. there may or may not be better tools to do this by now.

@Skylander: no.

karma indicates overall post quality, it takes harsh blows from trashed threads and deleted posts. that said, it means nothing to anybody besides yourself.

anyway, regardless of all you should seriously avoid just making demands for tilesets, especially if you haven't even tried to do it yourself. you're bad a photoshop? you can learn not to be. or, you can try any other easier app out there.

just saying you're "bad at it" and giving up instantly is not an attitude that works well for ROMhacking.

basic tilesets are easy to make, but good-looking tilesets take skill, time and effort. not everybody is an experienced graphist (and NSMB does not support "HD" 2D graphics) so just ordering them like you're odering pizza is bound to be frowned upon.

we don't really care who's in the newest team or not so long as they're not stealing douchebags who shower you with half-baked excuses when you call them out.

now for this hack, if the world preview pictures cannot depict the true content of the game it's just.. neat images that mean absolutely nothing. an example of that is the mario in armor. there's no way to do that without heavy reliance on ASM.


you might want to tone down images that show game content you cannot put in.

the place where we found our roms are since gone. however, the damn first result of a google search has never failed to deliver a proper rom that I recall.

either ASM a popping notification, or include the entire alphabet into your tileset.

the former has been attempted, the latter has been done many times.

please, don't start inviting people right when you're done setting up your freeforum. only do once you have some proper content setup.

also, I share the belief freeforums are cheap. too many sections for a forum that just started, many features you're never gonna use, no good visuals to show on the main page (or anywhere really), clutted subpages, and a generally -freeforum default- feel.

I have seen so many noobs start those kind of sites I have a strong bias against them. I know not everybody has the knowledge to make an entire site, but those are always a failure because of the same damn reasons.
they try to be something they cannot be.

for a ROMhacking niche to work, it needs:

-somebody experienced at hacking the game to help people out. needs be an admin, or somebody equally involved with the site.

do you hack SMK?

no? then you can't direct anybody, you can't tell them what to do or not to do. you can't answer thier questions. you're an outsider to the very activity you host.

yes? but not much? if you don't hack the game to the furthest level you can, then you can't help out if your users were to try anything complex. you lack the knowledge to troubleshoot because you don't know how the game works. and most of all, you're.. not that dedicated. people see through that.

-tools to give your users to mod the game, that you made. you need to know how they work precisely. that goes in par with knowing how the game works.

most owners of ROMhacking sites are directly involved in the creation of the main editors. to make an editor, you need to disassemble the game and understand how it works in order to view, edit, or do anything to the content.
communities assemble when several knowledged individuals pool together to try and take apart the game to its fullest extent, document their findings and make tools, allowing dedicated users to make projects thanks to thier work.

-history of activity in ROMhacking the game, to spark interest and invite people in. things to showcase. if you show nothing, then how are they gonna know? who would stay in an empty room just to do as they're told and fill it up on thier own?

-a site fitting your needs precisely and feels at home. for this, customs websites are good but not an absolute necessity.
nevertheless, if you're going to run any site you should learn the basics of web coding. HTML, styling, simple stuff.
no given software is perfect in all situations, you'd want to be able to customize what you already have and make it your own.

just leaving it to the defaults and telling people heay look I mad a site gives a not-so-good impression.


-last but not least, you need a target audience. people interested are into hacking the game, not just roped into it because of the offer. how many people have you seen on this site, one? I honestly doubt they're going to join a forum like this if they already do everything alone. they have virtually no need for what your site offers, they've been lone for the longest time.

I'm sorry for popping your bubble, but a real community is no little thing you kickstart at the snap of a finger ten seconds after getting the idea.


also stop trying to steal away our  gridatttack

play the godamn hack instead of doing drugs.

while you can set the midway checkpoint entrance to be the last pipe you came out from, that can only be done once per level.

you need ASM to achieve something to this extent and be respawned back in the right area from the corresponding entrance.

just pointing out, credit doesn't mean consent. you need to ask, especially if you're publicly redistributing said content in your own project.

you've been saying the same stuff for years: "I don't steal I give credit". that's not how it works.

tldr; stealing while giving credit is still stealing.

"I'm gonna challenge you to make logos for me"

you know we aren't stupid, right? you just want logos made. no need to make it sound like a contest.
learn to ask properly instead to pull bullshit like this.

..closed it.

It has been running for far too long.


THE END

Discord is great for casual chatting. Forums are great for retaining information in a way that can be searched by anyone, as well as sharing projects.

Neither of these two are going anywhere- forums are simply turning into archives as Discord is good to the point that just about all communication has been moved there.


Remember that one of the weak points of Discord is its lack of outward accessibility: search engines cannot comb through it, and searching through DMs via Discord's own search function is finnicky at best.
Face it: conversations are disorganized. That's normal and expected. Discord should not be used to retain information.

You can simulate a forum environment within Discord using an abundance of thoroughly categorized channels, but more often than not this isn't how it's used.

Discord can be thought of as a walled garden: no matter how public your invite, servers are never outright public public like the rest of the internet is. Also- whenever a server splits into sub-servers (such as hosting a whole server for your hack) this adds to the issue by creating another barrier of entry.

If forums required invites for you to view them, they would never thrive because you wouldn't be able to find them.


This board isn't "dying" any more than it previously was- so long as you use it to suit your needs, that's all that matters.

Thanks. I will try to improve it if I can.



I will continue this game and try to finish it.



I will put other flags in other worlds.



Thanks.



Thanks.



If someone want to become beta-tester, he/she can ask me when he want.

So, you want to be beta-tester?

Everyone left the place. They had to hide to Kuribo64 for a while to find a plan. Then  Polar Hacker seen a sign which was saying: "Push this button to stop cheat codes. Push it again to reactivate cheat codes."  snake block pushed the button.

Suddently, a guy fallen from the sky. It was a stupid dude called Thierry.

CRAASH.

He said: Hey! I was using a cheat code to fly!

 snake block: Ooops... sorry.

Thierry: Hey... I seen you from the sky. And I seen the Mega-Moronlings. Wait... I must have a cheat code witch could help you.

Then Thierry pushed the button and reactivated the cheat codes.

Thierry: The one who make everyone giant... This one!


Everone became giant. Everyone but Thierry.

 CreativiPie: Go everyone! Go to NSMBHD to destroy theses Mega-Moronlings!
Thierry: Hey! Wait for me!

Then everyone went to NSMBHD to destroy theses Mega-Moronlings.
Everyone but...

Thierry: Crap.

[/offRandom Topic]

Ask to  Dirbaio to post your game in the trash. At the same place he putted my oooooooold NSMB 4 and 4.5.

Granted, but you can't play it because it's too awesome for your computer so it crashes.


I wish I could make levels more quickly.

Granted, but after your holidays, you'll have to work forever.


I wish I could finish the long level I'm making.
