Je suis en train de traduire Superstar Hero, le jeu d'action-RPG dystopique, en Français.

-Intro: Traduit à 100%
-Magasins: 95% (manque traduction images)
-Tutoriel: 100%
-Hooleigan Village: 40% (NPC, image prologue à refaire)
-Coffres au trésor: 85% (manque coffre du donjon secret)
-Hooleigan Valley/Quebec Bridge: 0%
-Sainte-Foy: 4%
-Saint-Roch: 4%
-Saint-Bottom: 6%
-Harlaka: 33%
-Ruines: 50%
-Crystal Hill: 0%
-Tibestia: 50%
-Secret dungeon: 0%

La prochaine version du jeu vous permettera de switcher de langage en commençant une nouvelle partie et je vais probablement rajouter les options de langage en plein jeu aussi, probablement dans le menu quitter. Par contre, tout le texte non traduit s'affichera en anglais.

Version 0.12 has been released, which includes all dungeons. It's not final, though, as more content might be added or adjustments be done, but you can now play through the entire game.

Hopefully @Juju can update the arcade version to match the new version.

Site News & Announcements / CodeWalrus SMF upgrade
April 12, 2019, 08:41:00 PM
As you have noticed, our SMF install was upgraded to 2.1 RC2 and it will be upgraded to 2.1 as soon as it's out. This is because SMF 2.1 RC1 and RC2 came out several years earlier than we expected, eliminating the need to switch forum softwares entirely (for now, at least... we were even offered money to migrate to Tapatalk, but refused).

As a result, some features might be missing, as they were provided by third-party plugins. The default theme will be adapted so that the borders are green with no rounded edges, with the original CW logo or a banner at the top.

Since WalrusIRC is missing right now, here is the Discord URL: https://discord.gg/cuZcfcF (which lets you use more than one CodeWalrus chat room).

A few years ago, I was happy to get my music on iTunes and other major retailers out there, as well as Spotify, but the service I used to keep my music there was too expensive, so I had to remove my work from there.

However, I have found a free service that does the same thing (although it omits the less known services), so my three latest releases are soon gonna be available there soon (some albums are already out there). In the future, I may include the popular "A Decade of Magic Hardcore (2002-2012)" compilation and most likely "A Decade of Omnidance (2002-12" as well, so that almost all my original songs get back on big retailers and streaming services.

I have some great news: My newest album "Maze of Life" is finally released! This 17 tracks album features various music genres, including electronic power metal, eurodance, trance, UK hardcore, video game soundtrack and even my first eurobeat song ever: Attack of the Nuclear Kittens.



Head over to https://djomnimaga.bandcamp.com/album/maze-of-life-2 to listen to it!

See topic title. Anyone tried this software before? I think this will be my main music DAW when I have limited computer access now, with Fake SID being second. I'm sticking with MTV Music Generator/Music 2000 for 90's style music, though.

I uploaded two tracks called Lost Decade on Soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/djomnimaga

The finished version is a 8-bit song like Commodore 64 music

In order to reduce costs, CodeWalrus website will shut down its DigitalOcean webspace on January 1st 2019 and everything located there will move to our second hosting provider, which already hosts both CW and WTFCity's Minecraft servers.

The website will also ditch Simplemachines forum software in the near future in favor of PhpBB3 or Discourse, depending of which is the most up to today's web standards by the time it happens.

Due to the whole Lévis/Super C fiasco, I lost almost my entire calculator and video game collection last Spring and pretty much everything else, so all I had left were a TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition, TI-84 Plus CE and a Casio PRIZM I couldn't locate until today. As it turns out, I actually brought the HP Prime with me as well during the emergency move to Quebec City, so it seems like I will finally be able to enjoy everything I have missed from the community in the last two years or so.

I dunno if it will charge up because it was at 0% when I found it. Hopefully it still works fine without being connected to the computer!

Although a lot of graphics in my game have been updated in the last two months already, I am continuing the process of changing the overall look of the game to be more consistent with the general direction the game has gone and also to replace most remaining placeholder graphics. Here are screenshots of some of the recent changes:


Blocked by a LEGO brick in one of the many new rooms, and new graphics:


A scrolling background! (might be recolored, tho...)


Surely, this store won't be missed. What the heck, 9108?


This dreaded room, with new graphics!


One of the new area already got a tileset facelift haha:


People sleeping inside the spacious air conditioning conduits, even though monsters can be nearby:


Not only fidget spinners have been popular for 70 years in the year 9108, but this is what clothes look like in Quebec, then:

https://www.omnimaga.org/news/super-star-hero-a-futuristic-action-rpg-for-windows/

Quote from: xlibman on October 22, 2008, 08:13:21 AM
It has been common for Omnimaga to share projects with other communities, such as MLC. This time it is happening again with my first action-RPG ever made using RPG Maker 2003: Super Star Hero.

As some people might have noticed a week ago, I uploaded a song called "Superstar Hero" in the archives and that song was a drastic change in musical genre compared to other music on this website. It was in fact intended to be used inside a game and my plan was to make one using RPG Maker 2003 using either a custom battle system or real-time action. However, since I needed to make sure such project was feasible in RPG Maker 2003, this is why I haven't been as active on the forums and IRC in the past week. Finally I opted for an ARPG, due to it being slightly easier to do and requiring less pixel art skills, as a random battle system would have forced me to draw much bigger enemy sprites.

This project will be a co-Omnimaga-TIMGUL (The International Music Generator Users Lounge) production. The game is currently being developped by me. Most graphics are also by myself, but there are others by Necro (a lot which have been modified) and a smaller amount from the RPG Maker presets (all modified too). The entire soundtrack will be created using MTV Music Generator (which was released as Music 2000 outside North America) for the Playstation. Sound effects are being created with that software as well as another software to generate 8-bit sounds. Music will all be contributed by me and members from TIMGUL. As of now, my tracks as well as Beoulve's are used.

Here are some screenshots:


Here is a Youtube video showing the game intro:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQDDmSQ5tDA&fmt=18

As you might guess from the title and the logo the game is intended to be a little cheesy and cliché. The main character is in fact a super hero and he must save the world, going through hordes of enemies, altough, as you can see in the intro, he's in a little bit of a trouble since he has nothing to defend himself with. When the game starts the first thing you will want to do after the mountain part you're on collapses is to find a weapon upgrade so your attack power is no longer 0. In this game the leveling up system will be upgrade-based. You will be able to raise 3 stats: attack, defense and speed. Attack and defense goes from LV 0 to LV 10 and speed from LV 0 to LV 5. To raise them you must gain gold from enemies and buy upgrades at shops. The game will be a mix of Zelda, Megaman, Ys and such popular titles, far away in the future in a semi middle age and futuristic environment. Check out for more updates soon!

Oh and happy belated birthday Netham45!

Since gaming has taken more place among CodeWalrus members on Discord, this gives us opportunity to get back together and play Fortnite, Overwatch, OSU or whatever, and I would like in the future to encourage the use of our voice channels since it can be often an easier way to chat when language barrier is not too much of an issue.

However, I don't know if it started with Fortnite or if it's just a Fortnite-specific problem (and a reason why I am contemplating quitting that game), but in multiplayer games where we voice-chat, I have been running into more and more players who are so much in a hurry to play that just a 2 minutes bathroom break between games will make them rage at other teamates. And of course cheaters and toxic players which I don't need to get into details.

Because your life doesn't depend on a game, because we all start somewhere and because CodeWalrus wants to continue its now 4-years mission of encouraging friendship among members, here are the new rules that are being added:

In online multiplayer interactions between CodeWalrus members, the following will lead to an instant permanent ban from the entire CodeWalrus network (Discord, forums, Minecraft server, etc):
#11: Raging at other teamates for having inferior skills when matchmaking was clearly the issue
#12: Raging at other teamates because their bathroom break or other kind of pause between games took took long. We all have a life outside the game, you know, and your time isn't worth more than anyone else's time.
#13: Repeatedly inviting toxic members to CodeWalrus or gaming partys where at least one other CodeWalrus member is present.

60 FPS


1 FPS


That last one was overkill, thanks to the rotation effect and the fact it's basically 60 images rotating simultaneously at high zoom (I wanted to see how far the software could be pushed). xd Other than that I am just experimenting for possible Superstar Hero additions (maybe 3D Tunnel levels/missions in the game, like those robot fight bosses in Mystical Ninja for the Nintendo 64.

Gaming / Cuisine Royale
July 15, 2018, 06:27:13 PM
I wonder if anyone here is into games like PUBG? Because recently there is a new Battle Royale game called Cuisine Royale that went in public alpha on Steam and I was surprised by how polished it is. If you prefer PUBG style to Fortnite but can't afford the former, then you might have more bang for your buck with Cuisine Royale, IMHO, for the following reasons:

Despite the name implying that weaponry might be 100% kitchen-related rather than World War 2, you're actually fighting with guns in there. It's just the armors that are made of cauldrons, stoves, etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZfGB5nXR5A


Despite being in alpha stages, free to play and originally intended as an April Fools joke for the upcoming game Enlisted:
-It has much better graphics
-It actually manages to run at an higher and more steady frame rate despite the superior graphics. PUBG team, you have a thing or two to learn from Gaijin Entertainment and post-2016 Ubisoft games
-It crashes less often
-Finding a vehicle on the map doesn't take 40 minutes
-There are less server disconnects
-The only load time that sucks as much as PUBG is when the match starts. But again, you drop on the map instantly, which saves time
-They don't sue Epic Games every five second

The main downside I can see, however, is that games feature only 40 players at a time and you cannot choose where you want to drop. There is also no sound (yet) when the zone shrinks down.

Anyway I am posting this in case anyone would be interested in this game but can't afford (or run) PUBG. https://store.steampowered.com/app/884660/Cuisine_Royale/

Gaming / Lawsuitpad... er I mean Wikipad review
July 05, 2018, 03:16:43 PM
Pros
-Haven't tested yet

Cons
-They're suing Nintendo over their joy-con controllers in a patent troll fashion, even though they only have 3000 likes on Facebook versus millions of likes and billions of dollars for Nintendo


Final verdict:
-Every single pros the Wikipad attachable controller for phones has is automatically negated by the aforementioned con. Boycott Gamevice and their Wikipad until their lawsuit fails epically. :P

(other than that it could be handy for the RPG Maker emulator)

The CodeWalrus website portal where you can see the latest headlines has been updated this morning. Now, instead of showing the latest 5 news articles or topics approved by the staff to make the headlines, you will just see 1, followed by the last 20 forum topics started by our members. Some exceptions apply, such as the safe-haven and randomness sections, and only the first few hundreds of characters of BBCode are used, but basically, I figured that with the low amount of website news in the last two years we should give more visibility for user contributions.

A link to past news articles still remains under the latest headline on the front page.

Gaming / Unreal Tournament 2018

1) PhpBB 3.x (before end of 2018 ideally)
2) Show IRC and forum usernames on Discord (in the main channel)
3) Make the PhpBB website show Discord, IRC and forum usernames in the forum online list (as guests?) instead of just the forum users.

If you are on CodeWalrus Discord server, the #gaming channel now has bots that can show player statistics for the following games:

-Fortnite (via "Fortnite Stats" bot. Type "!ftn help" without quotes in #gaming to see how to use the bot)
-Overwatch (via "OverwatchBot". Type "|owhelp (8)" for help)
-Paladins (via "PaladinsGeek". Type "p!help" for help)

This can be a good way to see the statistics of a player in particular or yours without leaving Discord. More games might be added in the future if you know the bot website links for said games.

Note however that the bot will not work from #cw-craft on EFnet (which is linked to #gaming on Discord) and that you can already see the bot help earlier in the chat there, so using the help commands might not be necessary. Those bots are the property of their respective owners.

A few months ago, I began the process of moving to Quebec City in order to escape various social issues witnessed in my former city in the last 30+ years and due to my autism. Unfortunately, as it turns out, this only solved the privacy and public transit problems and everything else remained. In addition to that, the healthcare system and how it works is completely inadequate for my person as I can't even function on my own when it comes to papers and stuff. More importantly, there is a serious close-mindness about people with mental disabilities that resulted into me being unable to make much new friends and keeping them here, partly due to how unknown stuff like autism is over here (thanks to our poor healthcare system), which is weird considering in Qc City people are much more open-minded about other things than in my former city.
(Such as LGBT or ethnic groups). My mental health deteriorated to the point where I almost moved to Quebec literally in the middle of the night and left almost everything behind.

This is why in mid September, shortly after switching jobs (which I'm about to be forced to quit due to persistent depression and scars left by issues in my previous city), I began considering moving out of  Quebec province entirely, most likely to Germany or Guadeloupe. Eventually I ruled out Guadeloupe due to being to small but Australia became considered, with mainland France far behind. I am not comfortable with the idea.of moving to France due to ISIS and tolerance issues of their own, but I know many people there. Germany is very likely other than the fact I would need to learn German but I am generally not too bad at learning spoken languages, and Australia is another possibility. Ideally, though, I would probably choose which one of the three countries have the better public healthcare for autistic adults.

But yeah if this happens, this would most likely be in January 2020 or July 2020, or if my mental health won't improve, then that could be much sooner. The main obstacle would be losing what remains of my Quebec friends and that I would probably be forced to stay at the home of a TI community friend in order to be able to afford the rent. It's also possible that I am.permanently disabled and jobless and I would prefer not moving too far from downtown.

Chances of this happening are around 10% I would say and previously hovered between 0-2%, but that's still a 10%, split 45%-45%-10% between Germany, Australia and France, respectively. Hopefully it doesn't happen but I prefer to warn in advance in case it does.

After 3 years of wait, Hardcore Spectrum Disorder is finally out!



It contains mostly tracks created last spring and this fall, including the two major tracks Hardcore Spectrum Disorder and Rejection, which came out on September 27th 2017 and December 1st, respectively. But also it contains some older tracks, including the power metal songs Destination 1999 A.D and Elemental Cross.

The album can be purchased or streamed on Bandcamp and you can get the entire discography at once for 50% off.

https://djomnimaga.bandcamp.com/album/hardcore-spectrum-disorder

I hope you enjoy this blend of power metal, retro gaming music and electronic dance music and I encourage you, like the backcover says, to donate to Fédération québécoise de l'autisme to improve support and knowledge about autistic people in Quebec!
