Greetings
I am currently seeking help in my ROM Hack of Chrono Trigger.
Serious help is needed, I have a few people aiding me already but am looking for someone who is experienced with Chrono Trigger hacking to give me some lessons on how to properly import sprites and debug pointers and what not.
I am also serving over seas in Iraq, and this project helps me take my mind off of things, so any aid would be for a good cause as you would be helping a Soldier as well.
Do not be afraid to drop me an e-mail at: ruby.dragoon@gmail.com!
Thanks!
Share and enjoy.

One of the prerequisites of posting a thread in Personal Projects is that you either describe your project in detail and/or provide pictures. Otherwise, this topic is likely to be moved elsewhere. Just sayin'. ~DS

It's not that severe. This board is fine...

Just trying to find some really experienced Temporal Flux users who are willing to pass on some tricks and what not to me. Still looking for that help.

Chrono Trigger has a ton of unanswered questions and a lot of ways to work it since it's so flexible. So of course there's going to be a lot of expansions to it.

Well right but, it's not like its original creators are still in control of the franchise. It would seem to me that a more healthy solution is to distance oneself from something that one knows is going to be used as exploitation. There may still be a hero or two working for SE, but they're nonetheless a hostage of the bad guys who've controlled the place ever since the merger. But I guess people learn the hard way -- do their work; make it awesome; get a C&D; come out the wiser. In that case, have fun!
I really do think though that the development of these romhacking tools damages the game creation scene as a whole, because they encourage plainly illegal activity . You know if you were to create a remake of CT's engine without the graphics, and somebody else were to use the CT graphics to make a CT fan-sequel powered by that same engine, it would be difficult to prosecute such an endeavor.
But instead of working in a direction that might well lead towards a new intellectual dawn, they want to break the law. Pitiful. I mean really now, how hard would it be to create a CT copy in RPGMakerXP? I remember that the SphereRPG CGS was made for precisely the purpose of creating CT-style games.

Considering if anything was going to be done about most Chrono Trigger hacks, it would have been done by now. Since the C&D popped up for Crimson Echoes and Prophet's Guile (Not to mention they advertised everywhere), they got smashed with it. Since then, there has been a ton more of hacks popping up all over.
And you'd be surprised how much harder it would be to recreate it in RPG Maker XP and such. Considering Mode7 is barely working right in VX or XP, there's no Pixel Movement yet in VX, the battle system itself is complicated along with the stat increase and many MANY other things. You make it sound like it's a stroll in a park to recreate this type of thing when very few know how.
I'm not speaking for everyone, but I find it more fun to hack and expand on what's already been done. It's kind of a work out to see how far you can stretch the limits of something. Creating it from scratch gives you a more cleaner way of starting everything off plus infinite ways to do what you want, but sometimes it's just easier to hack it and gives more of a challenge.
Either way, I don't think being a sarcastic ass to people because of what you think really counts for much. Let them do what they want and see where it goes. If they get a C&D, well it was fun while it lasted, if not, well congratulations on producing something without getting into trouble.
Edit: But I think we should hush up about the argument as it's going to spam this topic which really isn't needed.

Square gave up on my favourite rpg franchise long ago. They only wish to shell out re-hashed "ports" of this amazing game. They also decided that instead of working Magus/Janus' storyline into Chrono Cross, they would just spam the game with 30 characters that have no real purpose in the big picture. Guile could have been so much more.
Sad that the team respnsible for such an ingenuitive franchise will be ever-chained to their desks producing carbon-copy-digestible drivel bearing the tag Final Fantasy, for the rest of Eternity... So why not let us fill in the gaps for ourselves?

Burzy, that team isn't even around anymore. They left Square, many of them. I don't think anyone at Square hardly even understands Chrono anymore. It's pitiful that copyrights can even be sold... what's the point? It's not like a person can just pick up another's creative material and run with it. As it is, Square's shareholders basically stole Sakaguchi's company from him after his Spirits Within movie flopped. (and then they proceeded to milk that "failed" technology for all its worth).

so sad. that game was a major inspiration to me(writing wise). And nostalgia aside, it set, to me, a standard on what a great RPG was, so before I leave this topic, I wish the original poster luck, as I always love seeing how much this series inspired other, because labours of love, are the best labours of all.

I am still trudging along, though things are coming painfully slow.
I am still seeking some lessons from a Temporal Flux Jedi!

One of the creators, Hironobu Sakaguchi, left and has his own company Mistwalker which makes the Blue Dragon games. Yuji Horii, another of the creators, actually is involved with the Dragon Quest games, which is even more popular and spin-off-tastic in Japan than Final Fantasy is, even in America.
