Why does anyone make editors? Because I do it doesn't mean I condone doing it, as in, will supply the means to do so.
My main reason for not condoning it in the first place is usually the rules of a said forum, attempting to avoid legal trouble. Take that as you will, heh. |

How do you not condone piracy, make a editing program for an illegally obtained game, and then on top of that, make it an open source? From the point I'm getting you're not condoning something you yourself are clearly doing because let's be honest, NOBODY here physically owns the debug version of the game. |

Originally posted by cooliscool Well the only problem I have with that is I don't know if downloading a game I own is really Legal or not. Lots of peolpe say it is then others say its not. |

Even if you did somehow own this specific copy legally, downloading another copy would still be considered illegal. Fair use (for US people) technically permits backing up your own game, as its own individual entity. |

I don't own the debug game. I only have the non debug game..But I thought that did not matter, but I guess I was wrong...So forget I even asked about it..
(oh and i'm not mad about that, if I was it would just mean I get mad when I don't get what I want whitch is stupid) |

You don't own the Debug ROM. |

Nope. Sorry. Not a personal thing, you understand the illegality of your request.
Uploaded 0.8.8 to ZE's Page. Small changelog (almost nonexistent ), but the major addition should warrant this release. |

Do you think it might be possible for you to send it to me in a email since your not going to host it? |
cooliscool Posts: 14/26 |
Regardless of my involvement in the ROM's existence, I'll never host it on any of my webspace. I don't condone piracy (heh, ironic isn't it?), and will never, ever, host commercial files on my server. |

I seem to be haveing a problem finding the debug Rom I got everything else i need its just the rom..I look around on your website but I couldent find it. Unless i'm missing something..again. |

Oh for sure, Zelda Edit is really still very unfinished. I assure you the future is bright for it. It started out as a simple patcher (ROM Fixes) that I released after "leaking" the Debug ROM to the public, and has already evolved a lot.
rubixcuber: I can't change that. The shadow isn't a hack itself, it's actually in the game, just unused. Replacing a model with this specific one in the level triggers the shadow. I've isolated the actor that does it, which is named "en_elf" .. currently hacking out a method to keep it active at all times. |
Sypher (anime_player) Posts: 5/39 |
I'm gonna need this one as well.
it looks like a verry good level editer for Zelda oot. But Do you some time in the future it will possible to change the story line if you had the skills, or am I asking a pointless question? |

Nice work. I've been thinking about doing an OoT hack. I like where you're going with the detailed shadow, but shouldn't it be a bit darker? It's almost nonexistant... |
cooliscool Posts: 11/26 |
Uploaded 0.8.7 (compiled and source code) to the link in my first post. A couple notes on the quick add feature:
A. I'm currently adding a feature to let users add to this. Currently it's predefined with actors I think are the most interesting to place. B. "Link's New Shadow" option in Actor Replacement gives Link a much more detailed shadow for the level: Before: After: I'll isolate a method to make the change permanent rather than having to replace an actor to make it appear. |

I'm a veteran VB4/6/C++ programmer, and I actually like the .NET framework. I see it as a step in the right direction.. there's almost literally a class for everything you'll ever need for a windows application. The big downside of course being that users of your programs have to install the somewhat large runtime.. until it is standardized, which I hope will go through. Another bad thing is the overhead caused by the framework which can get pretty high as the project does. |

Or an excuse for a typo
Nice work, it's good to see someone(s) who is working hard on zelda oot. Good work though I hate the net frameworks..... |
