Others Abandoned Project X: Love Potion Disaster [v7.8 Alpha] [Zeta Team]

[Nicle]

The way to go would be using Paxplode to extract the Pak but it seems to be encrypted for 7.8 and that version has the missing animations.

and by missing animations you mean lost worlds right?

 

[chip1155]

Few mods that will be nice to see, one is a simple sprite overhaul that makes them always naked. Another is a sprite replacement with the better ones.

actually the game already had that in previous a version called evil mode which they said would be worked on when the main story mode was finished

Anyone able to help with this weird static screen I'm having? It's not specific to the modded game and no amount of changing the video settings does anything.

Anyone wanna make a Discord Server for the modding of this game, if there is one already mind sharing the link?

as nice as that sounds given the zeta teams history it would likelybe better to not and make a thread here or on u-18 chan last modded attempt got dogpiled on from what i understand and with discord's somewhat malicious bot problem atm the server would get swamped likely with help.

Yep, the idea of a discord channel can't end well.

i mean tru but we would just need a better hold on what to allow like talk cooldowns and such, to be fair if we don't try it'll just be another 5 more years for anything to change

I mean, i would do it, idfc what could happen, the thing is that the withe knights could come to the channel and like start to report a lot of things and then, there it goes the channel. Also I'm no so experienced about maintaining a discord channel, like adding bots and all that, i wouldn't mind to learn, but my biggest concern it's the fking white knights.

I will see what can i do after work, if i can make something decent I'll post the link with the invite here.

Damn this mod makes things so much more better. Being able to fight enemies individually helps players who struggle against bosses and them fucking ghosts. Being able to interrupt animations makes gameplay flow much more rather than having to wait for it to be over. Thanks for doing some hard work on this game. Shame zeta & Co don't have the same motivation.

Agreed. All it takes is some white knight snitch to go brown nosing to zeta to shut that down. I'm not proud of this but when I first joined the project x forums I was a white knight But after A month or so I realized the sort of shit show the devs are. Honestly, having to to make "illegal" mods to make it better explains how bad/lazy they are.

It would need some mods to control the channel and who's in it. About report, i don't know how they work on discord, if the report first goes to a mod or to discord itself to evaluate the channel.

Also, the game itself it's illegal, the using SEGA property, they can't blame anyone.

I'm not to sure with discord either to be honest from what I understand is if comments are made then it would go to channel mod and then that mod would sort it out.

Project X technically isn't illegal as it is deemed free use. It only becomes illegal if Zeta and/or her team made profit off it. When Zeta or Miles (the guy who maintains the forums) asks for money from the community they are requesting donations which isn't classed as profit. Still making it "legal". Sega can however request the game to be destroyed with the might of Zeus though.

I say illegal mod because the Zeta straight up doesn't want them touching her game and the white knights will ALWAYS report any mod being produced Resulting in Mods being taken down hence "Illegal" mod. But let me tell ya something brother it feels damn good playing a better game with the mod.

A discord server could work.

The only two issues would be whether it could be taken down for copyright infringement or if it could be taken down for harassment (the copyright issue would also apply to hosting mod files). I don't think the copyright-aspect would be a problem since mods are simply free modifications of existing games, and the game itself is also free, currently abandoned/on-hiatus, and lacks the grounds to takedown related material since it unlawfully uses materials from the Sonic The Hedgehog IP.

The Zeta Team and company could also try taking down the server for harassment as a last resort, but this is similarly limited since having a good moderation team would be enough to stop any kind of hate speech, harassment, or related.

The only thing that could be done is taking advantage of oversights on file-hosting and server-hosting sites, essentially using sites that don't bother to judge the validity of takedown claims. The most simple workaround for this is too simply switch to sites with better moderation or simply a lack of it.

That's why i was talking about how the reports of discord works, because if the report goes to a mod, then we can have an easy control over it, and when some white knight appears we kick the fuck out of him from the channel.

Besides if they make legal claims or whatever the fuck they try to do to make us go down, we can literally speak to SEGA about the porn game that's made and it would kill the project entirely.

Funny thing. The being able to interrupt animations at any time was how the game was originally designed. IT would just take health since there was no energy meter. Once that was added they turned it into a QTE and the animations were still fairly short but then future updates redid the animations and made them longer and more fancy making timing out just from getting caught in an animation at the wrong time a very real thing that could happen.

I agree with having a discord server but I don't agree with booting White Knights who appear and voice there opinions and threats. If we did aren't we doing the same thing Zeta does? Booting people with opinions and questions. The mod server could be used to talk about things like humans. If the WK don't like that then yeah boot them for being toxic.

Lets Keep Telling SEGA about project X out of the question full stop. We may not like the Devs but we like the game and I for one would like to keep playing it in the future. All we need to do is make a new server as many times as it takes. IF Zeta & co can be bothered to do so being lazy as they are.

As some things get better other get worse. I understand the why they added it though. to extend gameplay and so you can watch animations that they worked on. IMO the QTE was the problem for timing out. It halted gameplay and it happens every time you get touched. One second may seem laughable but over time it adds up.

With a ghosttown forums, dev a team a supposedly inactive due to CoronaChan there should be no problems. lets not over think this and just go with it.

Good point, it's just a question of who wants to create/maintain it, and who wants/should be on the moderation team.
I personally prefer not to create it as I'm busy IRL, but I can try and help with its creation and/or moderate it.
