CDi-Fails

Thanks for the notes, Three Pendants. As for your other pages, we've archived them but removed the links to them so that the site is a primary hub for Third Quest content. If you're ever interested in contacting anyone of us, we're all on Skype (cdifails for me).

Fine by me then. I've been itching to play some Rom hacks lately and this one will do quite nicely. I was considering having my brother inject it into a wad on our homebrewed Wii. Can't use controllers on this crummy laptop.

As of now, the debug ROM doesn't work on Virtual Console/custom WADs. Maybe that'll change in the future though.

Maps look great, except for that one tree's textures

Impressive work

Thanks guys, we hope to have more content out later in the forms of screenshots and gameplay clips!

True or not, it's the potshots, drama and things like that, that give the modding/hacking side of the OoT fandom its shitty reputation.

Most of these fandoms have a shitty side, it's just how it happens.

Heh. Well, at least they have content to show!

Don't you think the tunic icon should actually be the one from OoT? Like, just different colors?

I never fixed the sword icon textures, only the icon names. Did you need help with that?

Join mibbit, and sign into the channels we're on... no need to create a new room. Me, CloudMax, mzx, and Glitterberri discuss modding on a server together.

 

If you want the server info, just PM me.

I was banned from that channel, anyway. Not sure why :\

IRC? You can set one up if you want.

If you have a Skype or Steam, would you mind adding me so we can talk more easily? On Skype, "cdifails." On Steam, CDi-Fails.

Sure thing. It should take about two hours or so.

Done. All I ask for is credit if used. I can also make a bigger version, but it'll take a bit longer. (Thanks to Spire for Triforce design!)

What do the shards look like? If so, I can make a logo.

I talk with Spire a lot now, and I've discussed these sorts of ideas with him. Yes, he's passionate and involved with his ideas, but he's not one to completely deny compromise. Placing the blame on him for destroying a project is unreasonable; he's a good mapper and has good ideas, and even if some of them come off as unwanted or not necessary, I would never say that he'd push them selfishly. In this case, it was flawed communication that ultimately brought things to such a dispute over content and ideas. I do understand what you're trying to say though. I've had a lot of good discussion with Spire, however, and I find it hard to believe that he would not reconsider ideas or open up to other ones at all.

 

My only problem as the project's leader was making the mistake of allowing Spire on the team which caused 90% of the conflicts and trusting Ura's programmer's decision whether certain content was added or not. All she told me was yes instead of telling me where our limits were and being honest. The project itself had become too big and complicated then I even wanted it to be, which again was Spire's fault. Any time we tried to set anything in stone, Spire was over-complicating it or challenging it the next day which stunted the progress of the project.

Everything was Spire's fault, that damn hooligan. There is no chance that anyone else did anything to contribute to the downfall. Anyone.

Seriously though, it's been a while and I think you've had more than enough time to reflect on the situation, yet this the conclusion you've come to? Shouldn't a project leader take responsibility for fixing the faults in his team? If Spire was such a problem, then removing him should have resolved everything, yes? It seems however that conflict continued, which should have been a red flag that something else was awry. Perhaps I'm wrong and don't have enough insight to truly say that, but I do know that there were other major issues before Spire even joined the team. Trailer 3 was delayed many times (which may have been from very explainable delays, but the probability of these coincidentally happening just before the trailer's release are low enough for me to reasonably doubt this,) threads were deleted and restarted because of too much drama, and constructive crticism was mistaken for attacks. However, you say that your ONLY problem as the project's leader was letting Spire join the team. That's unlikely, and I'm sure other members were to blame as well for internal conflict.

I hate to throw all of this out there, but this is not intended as some sort of attack towards you or the project. Rather, I think that if you honestly want to achieve your goal of completing this project and releasing it, you will have to rethink how you're going about this. Maybe projects don't need leaders after all, just several components each adding something else to the table. Maybe you could make it more of a collaboration than a "leader and members" situation. Having each person make what they want to make and having it incorporated somehow, even that could work. That gets rid of the feeling that you're being commanded to do something you're not interested in, too.

That's something for you to consider, though. Perhaps you really only made one mistake as a project leader, and that lead to the downfall of the project. Whatever you do, I guess we'll see how that turns out.

Make your own mod and offer it as content

Here's the in-game version (ask me later how to import, since this is an all-in-one file:)

Also, if you want the PSD (assuming you have Photoshop,) I also have that.

Scaling down textures and shaping them? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Melon, how could you...

Gonna be honest, something is... off, with Link's walk animation. It looks a bit unnatural compared to OoT. Is the FPS the same?

You should add mouse aiming for first person items, like the Hookshot and Bow. However, mouse controls for camera...dunno if it'd work too well.

If you believe the Temple of Time in TP is the same one as in OoT, then TP Hyrule is north of OoT's.

Official site says this regarding Termina:

I have the logo on my old PC. I can probably get it to you by tomorrow.

EDIT: Wait, the logo with the Gerudo symbol, right?

You also started "Oracle of Ocarina"...er...whatever it was. I'll be excited to see where this is heading, then.

Isn't the Great Deku Tree just the Gate of Time theme from Skyward Sword?
