Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Does ChronoCompendium staff have interest in Discord?

« on: November 14, 2017, 12:25:12 am »

I would love to be in an official Compendium server in there.

For anyone doesn't know what is Discord: is basically a centralized IRC on steroids, with (optional) support of audio channels (just like Mumble/TeamSpeak/Skype) and with a nice friend system.

So another question (maybe would be better ask this in another thread): Is possible to change the BGM from a map in Temporal Flux?

Chrono Trigger Modification / Is there any tool to facilitate the injection of SPCs into the game?

« on: November 09, 2017, 10:01:07 pm »

Hi! I'm following the tutorial attached to this article, but i mess up everything trying to find offsets and such (I'm using frhed as a hex editor).

So, i want to know if is there any tool to automatize the injection process in the game.

No need to have a GUI, a CLI program is enough.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone using this messenger??

I'm very addicted to this, for those who do not know Discord is a brand new messenger which blends IRC features with TS-like voice chat features, plus having Twitch/OBS support.

For now i'm just sticking with text (IRC) funcionalities, i have a pt-br private server (the name discord gives to groups) and i formely had a Chrono Series server, now defunct.

Any thoughts or someone wanting to create a english server for ChronoCompendium? Or any portuguese-speaking folks to join my server?

What about Discord?

Is similar to IRC (plus having voip features), more secure (I heard a IRC server was hacked not long ago) and have a lot of features.

News Submissions / Re: Newly Found Hidden Cutscene?

« on: July 28, 2016, 07:46:04 pm »

Some interesting opinions from reddit:

This is really odd. Why would that ever happen. Just so random...
Edit: just thought of something. There must be a secret portal from schalas room to the black omen. It's behind the book case. The only reason you knew it was there was because a nu and an imp marle met in the woods (who then later escort her to the fair before it's getting started )when she was running away from the castle, as it was knowledge passed down from nu to nu for centuries. Obviously this is extremely far fetched, so the cutscene was aborted before it was developed further.
It's genius.

I doubt the cutscene was hidden in the staircase.
Often times when you enter areas or spaces not meant to be walked in, the game can glitch out trying to retrieve some area of memory. Many famous speedrun glitches are based on this (Ocarina of Time teleport hack, for instance).
The cutscene is just buried somewhere in memory, and stepping in that spot triggers calling it because of a bug, most likely.

Hm. Having experience in working on games similar to this one, this looks like something that was used for testing to me. Maybe some programmer was checking the timing of music with screen scrolling, animations, screen transitions or something like that. The developers might have had any number of hidden tiles like that, but removed them from the game before release and this one happened to slip through the cracks. It could have been a scrapped scene, but it's sadly going to be hard to prove if so.

My first idea was that someone copy-pasted a room layout and forgot to remove an exit, making the undefined transition doing something at a memory offset with nonsensical flags but your explanation is probably more likely.
That or normal out of bounds weirdness.

I dont know what is Schala's proposal, but someone is with me to start a sub on Reddit? The spam get so problematic, and i dont think anyone is willing to replace the entire forum CMS.

Maybe a reddit sub plus a github-powered site to store the wiki would be good enough.

Indeed. I dont know if this could reproduce BGMs in loop. If yes, you can check.

Amazing port!

About the loop, what about RPG Maker-style (uses ID3 tags within the file)? Or even writing these tags on JSON instead?

Also...

Found this in one of the recently registered member's profile.

www[dot]botmasterlabs[dot]net/

Now there are bots that deal with textual captcha and there are online services that help you type various captcha (not for free, but still cheap). Captcha questions won't survive forever as long as there are people who can actually register tell/sell the info to the bot makers.

I think maybe it is time to update the captcha questions?

Edit*

Another solution I can think of is changing the register link(maybe also the link text and the address that process the register requests) periodically as well.

Wait, wait wait...

Those are a company? If yes, it means someone is hiring its services to attack us (yes, i know something called piracy, but even accounting this, there a chance someone actually paid for the software)?

About the change of CAPTCHA, perharps using Google's reCAPTCHA as a provider would be a nice idea. Perharps changing the entire CMS as was stated before (phpBB?).

A good thing for Schala (she's making a open-source reimplementation of CC engine)
