Just a teaser

[conanac]

From others' feedback/input, I will keep these HDLC items to myself (guitaraxe2 with hexcode $CA14, and redcrayon2 with hexcode $CA18), and let DSPet decides/controls when/how he wants to release these awesome OHDLC as separate HDLCs. Hopefully it could be soon.

My two cents: There is still a possibility that another person could do this as well and actually distribute the items...

Nevertheless, here are the pictures (just a teaser):

Upon DsPet's request, this will be removed. Until then, nice information. I'm fairly certain he doesn't even want the possibility to be out there. It's a very dangerous area.

I really hope you haven't Wi-Fied with those and didn't think about it. o.o

[Nicc]

Amen to that sonic. I really hope you don't release these, you should try a different project Conacac, we know you can do some pretty cool stuff. Just leave the HDLC project to Dspet

My two cents: There is still a possibility that another person could do this as well and actually distribute the items...

Hope this doesn't happen there will all have no choice but to suspect it was you.

I get the strange feeling that:
A.) you just found out how to do this
B.) so now you're posting about it so people will know you know how (showing off in a way)
C.) without the real intention of ever doing anything


I'm probably wrong though.

Cool...

I also have been wondering how Dspet, creates, and installs new HDLC. I admit I put a little research in it. So far if the person who wants to install HDLC, can do it with the right knowledge and program. One question Conanac, did you create a program to do it, or did you find some other way?

Thanks for comments/inputs/questions...

@Vash -- yes, I agree, whatever DSPet wants then.

@SonicHyugo/Nicc -- I always keep my words (i.e. will not distribute these items) and hopefully others could trust me.

@dragonboy269 -- the responds for A to C are No, No, and No. Several of my friends want to be able to play with the guitaraxe and redcrayon but they cannot since they already have lightsabers. And I know how to do this about a couple of months ago, but keep asking my friends to install HBC instead of using this approach. With Nintendo is going after the homebrews, then I just try to ask in this forum for feedback before giving those items to my friends (to make sure I dont create issues with DSPet and others in this great forum) since my friends feel installing HBC could create bigger problems now with direct fight by Nintendo (regardless whether they will win this war or not). This posting is just a teaser so more people hopefully will ask DSPet to release those items as separate HDLC (with the intention that my friends will eventually get what they want from DSPet directly).

@Sora1234 -- I need to keep my promise, so unfortunately I cannot share with you (or even give a hint) unless DSPet gives me a permission to do that.
I hope you understand and OK with this.

So all -- please help me and my friends by keep asking DSPet to release those awesome OHDLCs as separate HDLCs. Thanks in advance.

Creating items for use in your town is easy. Please check LMT and ITEM_Tool. Changing the names and item codes is pretty simple too. I wrote tutorials for most of this a while ago.

Distributing to other people over WiFi is a little trickier. I intentionally left the last 1% of the puzzle out of the tools to keep the DLC haters happy (8 or 9 months ago).
PROGRAMMER CHALLENGE: try to share those items with your friends. Get it to work and you win a prize (WARNING: you may screw up your friend's gamesave - danger!)

> ...It's a very dangerous area.
Also true.

> ...please help me and my friends by keep asking DSPet to release those awesome OHDLCs as separate HDLCs.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but they are simply screen captures of existing items with slightly tweeked names and different item codes.
IMHO all but one of the items you mention suck. The Guitar Axe remains the best so far. Other hacked items may be coming soon...

It is now October. The 1 year anniversary of the game is coming soon.
We've given Nintendo 10 months to show us what they can do with DLC.
I think we need to do something better.

Nintendo has a more regular schedule going now that they've upgraded the Nintendo Channel. They do a "What's new in Animal Crossing?" segment weekly(?) and announce their latest items on there. I think we'll be seeing monthly items for quite a while now.

Thanks for the reply DSPet.

Yes they are the same awesome items that you have made, and I just try to change them not as OHDLC but separate HDLCs that can coexist at the same time. And I definitely need to learn more from you, and if you are accepting new students then I would love to be in the list.

Creating new items like you say can be done with the tools that you have provided, put them in the ASH0 format that is the main challenge from my viewpoint. Other parts in BITM section can be guessed. And then the checksum...So IMHO, it is not 1% of the puzzle, but actually a significant one (therefore, it is a big challenge ).

I agree again, we need to do something better (hopefully this forum participant could provide great ideas or challenges, like new fishes for HDLC?). Just for my friends sake, please remember that a lot of people (who currently can only see lightsabers) who are asking for guitaraxe...

Again, many thanks for making this ACCF game more interesting by providing all great tools and creating possibilities to players to have more freedom/alternatives in how to play the game.

Cheers.
