Re: Tips on income/financial support of the Game Research Fo
Might this be an appropriate time to look at switching hosts, as well, Mr.Mouse? I know we're having some trouble getting any support with the wiki from the current hosts, but other than that I don't know how their QoS is. If the answer's a "yes", I'd suggest Curse , which have experience ...

Re: New subforum: Video file formats
Moved. Keep 'em coming as you find 'em (and if you spot non-video-format-related topics that you think need to be moved, go ahead and list them here as well)!

Re: tutorial on tutorials
Keeping in mind that I've never written a tutorial myself, it seems a good method to writing one is considering the full scope of what you're trying to teach, and breaking it down into its parts. Write a separate tutorial on each individual part, and focus on making that specific part as well-writt...

Re: good tutorials for anything relates to resource reversal
Not sure if we really need a thread in the tutorials section of a forum revolving around reversing data formats, calling for tutorials on reversing data formats. :) But you seem to be making regular strides here in your own work. Have you backtracked your own steps to reference how you've come upon...

Re: Modders getting sued
If that were to happen, though, I'd hope you would at least release the source first (even if you did so covertly to mitigate the possibility of them suing you for that). I haven't heard anything about either of them; probably the closest that's happened for Xentax would be a few years ago, when a c...

Re: Files embedded in exe's?
I know that some packers/extractors allow you to create EXEs with embedded files (almost always as self-extracting archives) or extract files from EXEs in some cases. For games, this would be terribly hit-and-miss (and, probably, mostly miss), but it's there as one possibility. File rippers (such as...

Re: Modders getting sued
I haven't heard anything about either of them; probably the closest that's happened for Xentax would be a few years ago, when a company contacted Mr.Mouse threatening legal action if he didn't take down the description for a format from a game of theirs. He replaced it on the wiki with a "Off d...

Re: MSET RESEARCH PROJECT + FILES UPLOADED + SOURCES
Does anyone have a plugin to view KH1 mset files on neosis 2.82? KH1 MSETs can only be viewed with Yaz0r's original ModelViewerD3DX program. There is no plugin, or converter, for Noesis, or any other program; Yaz0r's is the only one that reads these animations. Now I have to ask: is that due to som...

Re: Minecraft - fancy a game?
Minecraft wasn't made by a business man, but by someone who wanted to build a game he truly wanted to play. Your complaints about the outdated Classic version are certainly valid, but they are not a justification for not only dismissing the game (especially given how different the full, pay-to-play ...

Re: Minecraft - fancy a game?
It's been a building game from the very beginning, heavily influenced by Infiniminer and Dwarf Fortress, among other things. This is its main appeal; survival and fighting is a distant second for the majority of people (though survival is also an indispensable part of Minecraft's atmosphere for many...

Re: Clear and understandable format spec writing
The wiki uses a reasonably straightforward method of laying out specs, though said method was originally designed with archive formats in mind and therefore may not be quite developed enough for all image, audio, model, etc. formats.
