Post by Doan the Nado on Aug 22, 2005 3:50:34 GMT -5
Things are finally starting to fall into place and I can see a path to normalcy falling into place. This quarter I have 2 computer science courses and a molecular genetics course, so hopefully it won't be as difficult as the past few have been (I rock comp sci courses, which is why I switched to that major). I go back to Columbus next Sunday to pack up and prepare to move on Thursday, Sept 1, into my new apartment across town, which is much nicer, much smaller (easier to maintain), and includes more manageable roommates (trading two messy guys for a neat girl). I will get my internet connection on Friday, Sept 2, and will also start back up at my job serving at Ruby Tuesday for about three weeks before school starts. My girlfriend may or may not be down there with me, but regardless, I plan on taking a day (or whatever it takes) to do a massive update. This should be accomplished my mid-September.
In the meantime (the last few weeks and this week), I have been working on something completely new and different from what I started with. Will I ever return to what I was working on? I'm not sure. When I do make a more RPG-like game, it will contain all of the Custom Elements that I had planned for my last game. Until then, however, I'm making a game that is pretty enjoyable to create right now, and satisfies my short attention span. It should be something that brings back memories while providing an opportunity for me to create some original content, too. If I can pull it all off (and it is starting to look like I can, which is surprising since I believe that I accidentally started off with one of the toughest things I could have), it will be quite an accomplishment of event control and will make my CBS that uses action scripts a piece of cake.
See my message board for more (but not many more) details.

Good to see you Flame. Unfortunately, it seems you are part of a community using pirated RPG Maker software. I will ask you nicely to remove the link to the forum and so not in any way promote any games made using pirated software. Any mention of a game made by you using "a legal version of RPGMXP" will be deleted since I can no longer be confident that you are using a legitimate version. Sorry to do this, but I cannot support piracy. If you do not comply with this post within a week, I will email you with a one week's notice warning you of a complete ban from our forum.

FYI: There is an easy way to tell if someone is using the legal version of RPG Maker Xp or not. According to Valkysas, the text is formated differently then in the hacked version.
At the Pavilion, Valkysas also plans to ask anyone submitting a RPGMXP game to answer a few questions only someone with the legal version could know (from documents that come with the legal version).
Basically, if HolyFlame does get the legal version, there will be ways to tell so that he can post the game on this site. That should go for everyone else as well.

Yeah, I would never pirate rpg maker xp, do to the fact that it ruined chances of it being released years ago. Anyways, yes Doan something like that, I was thinking of a ratings system like 6+, 10+, 13+, and 17+, or maybe something more creative. BTW, how do I get a custom title, Ive been wondering that, anyways, off to work.

Looks like Nash or someone gave you one... as for your auto-title (the one because of your post count), I will be revising those in the update.

What game? Chaos Generations is rpg maker 200, Fantasy Advents is XP. You can tell the difference by the Graphics. I stopped fantasy advents and incorporated its elements into CG. So that still wouldnt work unless i made a new rpgmxp game. Aww that sucks. Well you did the job for me and took my screenies down. Did that do the job? Meh, I know how sensitive some of you guys are about the pc rpg makers I'd rather show you guys my works but thats ok. So i wont mention anything about my game anymore. But if u guys get the legal version i can help you guys in terms of scripts and codes and stuff. Like I have codes that give you ff7- style menus,materia systems side-view battle systems the works. I'm your man for RPGMXP material! ;D Oh i need to remove my link too. Very well... I just wish i could show off my games for the game. Not what i used to make it... But anyways I'm glad your back. I took some time to myself to realize i'm not really here to show off my games. There are other forums for that. But this forums different. It'll just be a "TAD" harder to show off my rpgmaker 3 game. So until doan tells me i can keep talking about my gamez I wont. At least not here... Theres a difference eh? Will i still be able to play legal games using my version? If i cant support mines i can atleast support someone elses right? I'll be around.. - Holyflame Edit: I can help with stuff like this.. Its a code i have lying around my computer... Dont shun me for showing the pics. I support rpgmxp in GENERAL. MEaning whatever version youll get will be compatible. I could care less about the diff sides.

You can save RPG Maker XP games independent of what maker you have. In fact, you don't need to own any version of RPG Maker to play XP games. All you need is the files and images that the game uses and the program that will run them (which anyone can get from Enterbrain and comes with RPG Maker XP with free distrubtion rights). Enterbrain will even allow you to sell any game you make with RPG Maker XP as long as you own the legal version.

I just wish i could show off my games for the game. Not what i used to make it... ...I could care less about the diff sides. Please, reconsider what you are saying. If you use stolen software (that is the word for it, even though it is harsh) to make something you are hurting the very people who made it possible. Furthermore you discourage them from releasing any more such stuff. We are sensitive to this because it is not only a point of Honor, but illegal downloads have a real and detrimental effect on what gets released and produced. I think that if you buy a real copy it would be easy to import your scripts and such to make a legal game. Since you are among those who downloaded it illegally, perhaps you should be among the first to get it legally. It would vindicate you (at least in my eyes). If you will not do that, than I agree that all references to any illegal activity should be removed and stopped. Now. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it really is so much more than "File Sharing" when it costs small companies producing fine product money. It gets worse when that lost revenue causes us to not get software ands such. If you ever want to see a 3-d version of RPGMaker with the power of XP then you MUST buy a legal version to prove interest exists. This is getting long and I think I have made my point. I have nothing against you, but I find your actions in downloading illegally reprehensible. I support Doan in disallowing any such content. It does not suck that he does that, IT RULES!! Peace.

I really just hate that its illegal period. I just wanna be able to download the maker and make a game and have people say oh cool your a game maker. Not a pirater. Becuase My whole operation here is judged before i can even truly display my stuff. As for intrest the many people who use it is proof enough in my eyes. But I think you mean like supporting them financially.. What sux is i'm hoping to get rpgm3 when it comes out and not have to wait till Christmas.
I understand completely why its enforeced here.. I just that rule. I liked it so much better when i released Fantasy Advents and all i got were comments. Not "AHH!!! Pirater! Run!!" No one will buy rpgmxp games. no matter how good ur games are reason being. I've eben to the forums and soemone can just use the scripts u used or whatever enad make a game similar to it. Or even better. So selling them is a lost cause. People dont even pay for Ragnorak Online...
If one of my freinds gets it i'll ask him to let me download it so i can display my gamez on this forum. Normally, I'd just be like " Fine.." And jump back to the other forums. "but i have some good friends here." Plus i've never been banned before and i can imagine how much that'd suck. ME using XP isnt discouraging them. Its the hundreds of thousands of peolpe using it. All me stopping does is making you happy and destroying every game i ever dreamed of finishing. Not to mention destroying my team. I dont like it but I am fine with not showing it on this board anymore. But unless i get rich... I'm not buying what I already have. And what all the other forums accept. I'm still trying to buy games that came out months ago..
As for the pav. My games are too good for that board. Plus Nash got banned from that forum and i hate them for that. I think i did everything Doan asked me to do so i should be in the clear.

First off I feel you misunderstood my position.
I tried to make clear that I do not judge you for downloading this software. I realize it was not available retail and many people did not even realize that they were breaking the law.
Please realize that I also do not advocate banning people who have illegal versions. Just banning discussion of the illegal activities.
But when you say things like "If one of my friends gets it I'll ask him to let me download it so i can display my gamez on this forum" and "ME using XP isnt discouraging them. Its the hundreds of thousands of peolpe using it. All me stopping does is making you happy and destroying every game i ever dreamed of finishing" I must say that what you do with your copy of XP does not make me happy or anything else. But surely you realize that saying it is not you, just everybody else costing Enterbrain money I think you are being a little bit naive. You are among that group and therefore share the blame equally. I can not approve of getting a copy from a friend any more than getting it via any other illegal method. And while I may have yelled "Pirate" I did not yell "Run" and stand by my original statements.
The last thing I wanted to do was suggest you pack your bags and leave.
I am big enough to agree to disagree on this matter now that we both know where the other stands. I just can't stand to not say something when I see such activity.
I do hope that I have not made you mad at me for my opinions, I know I am not mad at you. But I do feel as I feel, and am compelled to state it.
I know that your expertise would be welcome on these boards when those of us with legal versions have questions. I can't see anybody having a problem with that.
We may have gotten off to a bumpy start, but I am sure we can put this behind us and get along.
Peace.

Sorry to double post (Give me a ban warning!!) but I had this afterthought on the way to work and felt compelled to add this on (the double post is in case HolyFlame saw the first and chose to not respond... I wanted this to show up as new)..
This is just to add that I find this site to be my favorite RPGM2 site simply because of the absolute lack of petty arguments that plague all the other boards.
If I have instigated the first such event on this board I apologize.

I've already talked to Demetrie(holy flame) via Messenger, and just advised him to just keep his mouth shut. It's his choice ultimately to use pirated apps. We don't have to condone such things but it's ultimately up to him. Just as long as he doesn't post material related with it on the board. Yeah, and Doan's is my all time Fav RPGM site too. If anyone needs help or wants to see the best games, it's clearly here.

Cool, Your opinions fine. Just like my post before was. ;D Honestly I dont care anymore if its not allowed. Not my loss... I just wanna continue talking about cnosole rpg makers anyway. I only wanted to show u guys what I'd been working on lately. So yeah... Pack my bags and leave? If I wanted to leave I would have. I was like the first member to join.. This forum means alot to me. Obviously Doans one of my "better" friends and i personally had some fun with rpgm2 aqnd when rpgm3 comes out this forums gonna be like the hotspot I dont want to talk about it anymore. Brocks right, its my decision. And ultimately nothings gonna get me off of it. I wont ever just give it up. Although RPG Maker 3 will keep me off it for maybe even months... Realize I use it becuase i wana make rpgs and thats all. It just shows how dedicated I am to the art. I do hate that its illegal the world WOULD be a better place if it wasnt. But thats MY OPINION. I'm not mad or anything. But I've spoken to many people who resent the use of it. Vespuleth wont even speak to me anymore because of it. But I decided making games means more to me. I'm just a game making freak man... Its my gift thats all.. SO I dont want to talk about ti anymore. I'm not trying to get banned. This is one of the first forums i ever joined. Maybe like the 2nd. My first was the agetec forum where I met Doan in the first place. I just wanna have fun and have a place to come and talk to all my old friends and meet new ones who are intrested in the same thing I am. Thats all.. I wanna be treated like everyone else and not labled. So as of now i'm not talking about it anymore. Thanks, And this got very off-topic.... I apologize for all of this inconvenience if its for the better someone can delete these posts. I want things back to normal... Peace, -Flame

You should remove those pictures from your signature. If you want to share what you've made with us don't do it illegally. Take responsibility for your actions and don't try to pass the blame off on others.
Doan, Ves, and Nash, I strongly advise that you start cracking down on this and being more harsh. Delete all the posts promoting RPGM2000, RPGM2k3, and RPGMXP. Perhaps even do a temp ban on HolyFlame since ever since this forum began Doan made it very clear that discussion about these illegal activities wouldn't be tolerated here. Somehow get his signature to change too, since those pictures alone are meant to interest someone to RPGMXP, which up till recently was only obtainable by illegal downloading.
When it comes to illegal downloading, I for one take HUGE offense at anyone who downloads anything illegally, even the extremely common music downloading. You are stealing. You know your stealing. You can make excuses and rationalizations and fool yourself into thinking it isn't wrong, but in the long run that won't do you any good.

I agree to an extent William. I just edited his sig (again :-( ). I may have conflict of interest with Holy Flame, then again idk maybe Doan does too? So as far as giving him a ban temp or permanent, I will leave it to Doan or Ves. I'll mention it to him next time I get a chance that any discussion or links to thus related material will NOT be tolerated and will first end in a temporary ban and then permanent.

Doan has already said there would be no ban. im just as against piracy as you will (im a programmer) and i know doan is as well. the agreement reached is that flame wont talk about xp or any other pirated software, and so long as he doesnt, he is welcome here. this conversation is over.
