| BGNG, while I commend you for attempting to come up with an "Uber Solution" solution for this community, I can't say I agree with it. First of all, I completely agree with dan and rg_ here, a closed source editor doesn't help anybody, I personally consider it selfish, negative, and extremely unhelpful. It's negative because it looks down on people. I mean think about it, you basically said "People tend to steal without giving credit." Sure, you run the risk, but I tend to believe that if I ask someone to simply give credit for my work, they generally will. And I can rest happy that my work was a benefit to others. Think about this: What if parasyte hadn't released FCEUD with the source code because of this irrational fear that someone would steal from him? There would be no FCEUXD. nor FCEUXD SP. (technically he had to because it was GPL, but assume it wasn't GPL for the sake of the example) I find it ironic that you condemn open source which is all about people sharing and learning from each other's work, and at the same time you propose a "community-wide" project that accomplishes the same thing. Personally, I'm against this community-wide project to begin with. Because, much like rg_ said, a large community wide project has never been successful before. I've personally seen it attempted several times over the years, and never get beyond an idea. You may not believe it right now, but trust me, there is no way what you propose will work, unless you can get a group of extremely hard core dedicated people, which you will not find anywhere around here. I've seen large group projects fail in many other communities as well. For example, when a new multiplayer FPS game (say, medal of honor, battlefield, call of duty, ect) comes out for the PC, you'll see perhaps a hundred different mod projects spring up. Most of them with a fairly large set of members, all making big claims as to how their mod is going to be so great. in the end, maybe one out of every ten get anywhere. The reason? It takes extremely hard core dedicated people, as well as excellent leadership to pull off any very large project. I see no way this could ever even possibly begin to work around here. But again, as rg_ said, I think the answer lies in encouraging, and giving people the resources and tools they need to do smaller projects. More tutorials and quick guides should be written and made available in a central location. This could really help bridge the knowledge gap between the new people, and the old experienced hackers. This could also help solve the laziness problem that I pointed out in my other thread, simply by motivating people to read the tutorials and try things out.

| I actually did something like that over 3 years ago (except for megaman 2), untill I got bored and stopped. I think it somewhat inspired infidelity to try it for megaman 4. (I showed it to him) http://bitmaster.panicus.org/misc/sprite%20hacking.txt fx3 probably added a lot of these to visine... this was made years ago. Before fceuxd even existed! I also remember starting on one for megaman 3... but I can't seem to find it. But if there's any specific set of offsets you want me to find for megaman 3, feel free to post.

| I absolutely must agree here, that has to be the most ridicilous hack ever. Maybe if it were 1998 (back when there were hundreds of hacks around like this) that hack would have been cool, but it's 2005 for crying out loud. This only goes to further show the crazyness that abounds in the current community. |
