Perhaps people could improve if you act kind and constructive towards them in times of acting stupid. If you throw them under a bus it'll just make matters worse.

Idiots won't learn if all you do is shit all over them.

^{(Sorry for bumping)}

Wow. I wish I'd seen this thread earlier.



I really recognize this. Exactly this. I remember making this thread, about my NSMB Hacking history. A few days after I posted it, I started thinking something wasn't right at my post. I'm talking about these lines:



Since december, I've been thinking about this part, and I came to the conclusion the things I'm saying there aren't correct. Or at least, not anymore. I've been thinking about the good old days of NSMBHD. The community was very different back then. We were small and more like a family. People used to help other people more often and threads used to survive longer than they do now. But what happened to that? Lots of new people joined NSMBHD, the interest in NSMB Hacking decreased, some really good hackers were banned or left the board. And nowadays, even some admins (*cough* Dirbaio) aren't online anymore often.

It should be possible to solve this. I mean, there's also still interest in SMW Hacking. Like StapleButter said:

Again, sorry for bumping this thread, but I think this thread shouldn't end like this. I mean, we all know that this board (or at least NSMB Hacking) seems to be dieing slowly. Now we need to think of a solution.

I feel sort of like this with MKDS Hacking, seeing how most of the other MKDS hackers have moved on to MK7 hacks, hell, it seems like most people just kind of stay away from DS Hacking in general, I know I did a couple of years back. But it also seems more like NSMB Hacking is in decline due to lack of motivation, rather than just people ignoring it.

It's funny to see that it seems like there wasn't much new activity on the board until I posted something in this thread. There's been more activity in the past few days than before.

Anyway, I think we should make a plan to get back the interest in NSMBDS Hacking, before it falls into oblivion. I may have some ideas:

1.) I don't think people like Sharks or Freeze will return to NSMBHD, so maybe we can better focus on new people. One thing we could do is making the 'Download NSMBe' page more extensive. With that, I mean something more like this. If we'd had a screenshot of an edited NSMB level, opened in NSMBe (like we used to have) and a list with some features of NSMBe, new people would get a better representation about NSMBe and NSMB Hacking.

2.) NSMBHD has got a Facebook page, but it's kinda dead. However we could use this to get more people into NSMB Hacking. I know some people here don't like social media at all, but yeah.. Facebook is something a lot of people use nowadays. It's very useful if we want more interest in NSMB Hacking. We could post something when there's a new build of NSMBe (with a list of the new features of course) and when a full NSMB Hack is finished and published. And stuff like the threads in the 'Latest News' forum. (If no-one's willing to update the Facebook page, I may could do that. Although I don't own that page, so I'm not able to do it.)

3.) Some things like Music Hacking, NSBMD Hacking and (especially) ASM Hacking are still hard to many people here. Maybe there should be tutorials for this which are more.. noob-friendly.


Another thing:
There hasn't been a new NSMBe build for a very long time.There are some NSMBe suggestions which are implemented already, but aren't in the latest build. There are also quite a lot suggestions in the main Development forum which aren't implemented (or rejected) yet. I don't know why this it...(?)

'ts not that bad 'ctually! I have none, y'know.

Well, you don't need to extract the sound_data.sdat anymore, since you can import SSEQs, SWARs and SBNKs using Gericom's DS Sound Studio. (Unfortunately he didn't make it open-source. Otherwise we could make an Export option too, so that we also wouldn't need VGMTrans anymore.)

For SSEQs, Gericom's MKDS Course Modifier (latest version) can export them.
Not sure about SBNKs and SWARs, through. (BTW, SWAVs inside SWARs can be exported as WAVs using the app I mentioned)

I've noticed the IRC is... pretty lame to put it.

I wait for something to happen but it never happens. I go to SMBX's IRC chat and they talk a lot. It is not the most important for NSMBHD, but I feel like we need to chat a bit more in there.

I also think we need a New NSMB Editor Update too. That hasn't even gotten updated in 2 years now and you think the developers would make 1 update.

Honest Quality Rippers Needed!

There are pretty substantial updates on github, it'd just need to be compiled, and the autobuild system seems dead;
Here's the lastest rev, compiled: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4558852/r379.rar

Just fixed the build bot, new build 379 is out. Sorry for letting it broken for so long guys

The bot didn't include the Dutch and Portuguese translation, it seems.

As that MarioFanatic posted, in these days old threads are coming to revive
