"Off the top of my head it's around 200,000 in the EU - pathetic numbers - and 600,000 in the US."

how much is CT:DS? 30 bucks? so they made 6 million from EU and 18 million in the US? That's pathetic? That's an eye opener...

EDIT, ok Mikisho... i'll change some things.

I didn't like what that senior vice president said and how he said it. The whole entire thing just pisses me off, I don't think they deserve to tell us to "buy more."
 :x :x :x

There, some stuff was really uncalled for. sorry. thanks for calling me out. 8)

Awesome vids, I'm addicted to CE.

That was epic, I loved how you guys built it up like that.

Watching CE as a TV show is almost better than playing it myself. That's how good you guys did.

 :mrgreen:

Of course, I can't play it myself... eh you know what I mean. I like it like this.

Hmmm...I don't know Rickets, that's very unusual...Did you try viewing them on Google Video? They're kinda embedded there and you have access to all of 'em.
Thanks my friend, that does the trick. I'm back in action baby!  :lol:

Thanks kid123!!! that works for some reason. You're also my hero.

Rickets, does this happen to you with other Youtube videos? Does it happen with the "Death is Nothing to the Reaper" preview (first vid on the CEMemorial playlist)?

---Actually, embedded youtube videos play fine (Like some of the news updates have contained), this only happens at the youtube website. It sucks... videos at the escapistmagazine.com work fine. It happens with every video I watch at youtube IIRC.

Weird...How do other videos (flash and any other videos you watch) look; do they flicker? Also, have you tried upgrading your browser or viewing it on an alternate browser?

---Well my PC is pretty old, so the working videos don't run smooth at all, but they don't flicker. I've tried uninstalling firefox and installing again... There are no new updates so I have 3.0.10. I've tried Opera and the same exact problem occurs. I can't get IE to even install Flash player for some reason and I dislike IE anyway... I think the problem is either something about my PC or something about something at youtube.com.

Does it repro on multiple browsers? What version of firefox are you using?

---Yes, read above =) 3.0.10

*sigh* I'm missing bug testing already.  :(
---I can't relate, but I'm sad too and I feel for you. All of you.

I need assistance... please...

I have tried and tried to solve this problem myself and it's driving me nuts. I tried all the basic trouble shooting I could and then some...

What happens is the video runs, but it flickers like crazy, the flickering happens within a split second, it is hard to take a pic of it while it plays let alone pause it on a flicker moment. I"VE TRIED EVERYTHING  :(

NOTE: it happens at such a rate that I often have to pause to read stuff... it is incredibly obstructive to my viewing.

Still waiting for more news...

Last I checked, waiting does not require posting. Keep it in your pants.

as a preface, I am not suggesting anything.

that said, I believe that this action by SE legal was probably mostly to kill the hype, the word of mouth, the knowledge of the game to the mass market, and also to discourage game modification to the mass market. They don't want the vast majority of gamers to know about this and they certainly don't want more gamers creating content off of their IPs.

As you can see if a project is fairly low key then it gets no attention but when it is making headlines then it is a problem to them, gamers everywhere know about it and therefore they have to address it.

I would say that (and I'm not SUGGESTING it, just speculating) if this hack, or one much like it, were to come out a year or two from now, with no fanfare or publicity, then it would be completely ignored, if it was released to the fans of chrono compendium and other romhacking sites and spread modestly through word of mouth by those people on message boards, IRC, instant message and talking and phoning among friends then it would be ignored like so many other major rom hacks.

the main problem with this was the mainstream visibility, and I don't think it's that out of the question to say that if the same project was released much later, or another project done, that it would be ignored.

Thoughts?

I'm not trying to suggest any action, nor insult anyone, merely thinking about what made this different, I mean there have been many very in depth long hacks done before such as Metroid Redesign and Zelda Parallel Worlds but they had no C&D, I think it is when something is publicized that it really gets into deep water.

I think this is dead on. I hate to say it, but CE was made out to be too big of a deal... I now think of CE as Fight Club and we broke the 1st and 2nd rule. Had we not released it a year from now under a different name and story alterations at a separate site and taken zero credit for it we may have gotten away with it... if it weren't for those sniveling corporations.

Any updates? Are you guys still looking for legal advise? What can we do to help again? I can ask around to see if I know someone who knows someone...

That makes sense, but not only did CE get canned, hacking in general is basically taboo here now.

Dang, I really wanted to experience CE...  :(

I like the picture a lot, but the font is too small IMO, it's too hard to read.

CE is dying, but not in silence, and the Chrono community clearly and definitely lives.

well rom hacking was what the compendium was all about to me... and CE is declared dead, not dying, and to my knowledge, nothing is really being done about it, so it is kinda going in silence, and about half of the people/kids at gamefaqs seem almost happy to say that SE is "within their rights."

As for the compendium, this place is a grave yard now isn't it? I don't mean to offend, but the soul of this site has been taken away. The only thing left is info and fan fiction and fan art. I guess I'll be the one to say it... Maybe I'm wrong to say these things, but I'm really sad about this, before, CE was something I was excited about in the back of my mind, and now that it's been canned, it's practically all I think about. Why did it turn out like this? Why not release the game little by little, but it's too late... We're all to blame for not seeing this coming, are we not?

SE better be making a true CT sequel or they're just bullies.

Hmm... well in this temporal flux guide it shows another way to do it and I wanted to try it this way since it would most likely be much easier...

Sorry... I can't figure out how to get dialog to show in the strings window.
I did find some way of editing text, but it isn't what is used - or is it?
In location editor I can click "Find Text" and it shows the next text line, but it's crazy out of order...

If you want we can PM from now on... So basically I have to go windows>locations like 200 times or something, and then open every single location within each of the tabs? And that will add the dialog options in the string tab?

Sounds a little iffy... is this correct?
