Project Scorpian Revealed: Halo Zero to Come!!! ( WIP )

[PSPdemon]

yea, it has.....

sorry for the lack of updates, we are moving slowly but surely on the game

Currently, im working on the GFX part ( mainly masterchief ) and the levels....

V3NOM is working on the Recoding in C.... so yall can have wifi and ad-hoc play ( eventually i wish it to have user accoutns and stats with ranks....but that will come later on in devleopment if we can fit it in )

as for the ever much asked question of "can i get the demo" or "what is the release date"......the answer to the demo is no.....the answer to the release date is TBA....as of we dont know when it will be released....

These things take time, things can go wrong and thats why we dont know when we will release it.

anyway, yall can ask question, dont mind at all :P

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

I have a question. Why haven't you guys shut down yet? Are you too stubborn to listen to the demands of the ARTISTS OF WHO MADE ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN HALO ZERO? Why is it that you don't listen? You CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT use the sprites, because they are PROPERTY OF THE HALO: BLOOD COVENANT TEAM (http://z14.invisionfree.com/HBCforum...x.php?act=idx), AND ACCORDING TO THEIR RULES, YOU MAY NOT USE THE ART. Notice I am writing in caps so you can U N D E R S T A N D. THE ART OF HALO ZERO IS PROPERTY OF THE HALO: BLOOD COVENANT TEAM, NOT DOBERMANN. DOBERMANN WAS GIVEN SPECIAL PERMISSION BY CHAINSAW LONG AGO, EVEN NOW THE HBC TEAM LOOKS UPON DOBERMANN AND HIM USING THE SPRITES IN DISGUST. IF YOU WANT TO USE THE SPRITES, YOU MUST GET DIRECT PERMISSION FROM THE HBC TEAM, WHICH, AS A GUARUNTEE, YOU WILL NOT. BEFORE YOU POST ANYTHING IN DEFENSE OR START RANTING, POST ON THE HALO: BLOOD COVENANT FORUMS (link above). Sorry, life sucks for people who don't follow others' rules, especially when it pertains to their property. I will continue to harp on you until you stop this project, even then the HBC team will be watching you.

Kid, I don't know what side of the bed you woke up on, but it was obviously the wrong one. What if he did have permission from them already and you are just ranting for nothing. Furthermore, why do you care so much? Apparently, you have one post, and are not in a position to look down upon others who have been here longer than you have. I suggest you think for quite a while before your next post.

By the way, threatning people is not a cool thing.

Writing in caps just makes you look like a raving idiot. Please contact the maintainers of this project via PM rather then in public on the boards.

2.Sure use them just credit Chainsaw for making them and me for editing them.

BTW, nobody even think of using these in a game. They are HBC's private sprites, used by dobermann with permission. anyone using them in a game will be set upon by our ninja army. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. dobermann's sprites (but not the ones he edited) are fine. No other edited sprites may be used either for that matter

Since this project has Dobermann's approval and the sprites used are from that thread in GameMaker, I don't see a problem.

HBC and Dobermann need to sort out who owns what otherwise this is just going to end up like the Tetris game in terms of the ownership issues.

[Mastergunnz]

Hmm, let's see.

The Master Chief sprites, the weapon sprites, the backgrounds, the enemies, the effects, the vehicles, you know what they all have in common? They were made by the HBC team, Dobermann has no control. I'm sure, if you redo all these sprites, you'll be just fine... And as for you being here longer than me, I have known Dobermann longer than ANYONE here, moreover Halo Zero. I was with Halo Zero from the beggining. 6th member of the Halo Zero forums.

For the last time, these are almost ALL property of the HBC team. As said by Ankhareon, the Jackal and some of the weapons are Dobermann's, THAT'S IT. Nothing else may be used. Now stop defending your little PSP mods and make your own damn art.

I'm tired of you guys, you make me sick. You make Ankh sick. You make the original Halo Zero community sick, absolutely SICK. When will you just come to understand YOU CANNOT AND MAY NOT USE THE SPRITES? When will it finally be carved into your skulls? FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO!!!!!

What if he did have permission from them already and you are just ranting for nothing.

I know for a fact he didn't, I talk to Ankhareon every day.

And for the last time, nobody cares wheter or not you got permission from Dobermann, he has NO control over these sprites.

PS: I'm part of the HBC Ninja Army.. No joke.

[Ankhareon]

This has gone on way too long.

By the way, threatning people is not a cool thing.

Firstly, he doesn't have permission from us, only Dobermann does, and that permission is not extended to anyone he feels like. I don't know why he gave you permission because as a moderator on his forums, I assure you every other request has been turned down flat.
He is in a position to look down on you as he is also a moderator on said forums and knows what he's talking about.

Since this project has Dobermann's approval and the sprites used are from that thread in GameMaker, I don't see a problem.

HBC and Dobermann need to sort out who owns what otherwise this is just going to end up like the Tetris game in terms of the ownership issues.

I thought I made myself perfectly clear in that post, but I'll say it again: Use Dobermann's sprites if you want but you may not touch ours and you may not use them in a game. That person reposted our sprites without our permission and I do NOT support any use of them whatsoever in a game.

Do I make myself clear?

Well and truely SECONDED!

Any Questions?

[Cap'n 1time]

The original authors of the sprites have the final say. If the original authors demand you not use the sprites then you MAY NOT use them. It's disappointing, sure, but you must respect their wishes. Regardless of whether this is eventually released or not, until the authors give permission the release will not be available on DCemu. That goes for any similar situation as well.


Edit:

Thread reopened as the problem seems to be sorted.

[Destroyer699]

I hate assholes. There were alot of nicer and more civillized ways to resolve this conflict. You do not have to post rants on public boards in order to get what you want. There are many other ways to communicate with people.

PS, being a moderator on some random forum does not give you any right at all to look down upon others. You never should look down upon others unless you have a valid reason. A mix up of whos sprites they were isn't a valid reason for so much hate and anger. I suggest you think to yourself why you act like a jerk over such nonsense.

[Cap'n 1time]

We are still investigating. A new bit of evidence has come to our attention. I'll let Demon explain when we are all comfortable.

Please try to keep the flames to a minimum.

Intersesting, it seem we hav a small problem. It's time for some S.S.I. (Sprite Stealing Investigation) Work. Keep watching my post.

The FAQ

APPENDIX
Q = Question
S = Suggestion
P = Problem
A = Answer

Q: The sprites and graphics for the game are great! Can I use them?
A: No. HBC prides itself on being unique and we plan on keeping it that way.

Q: What was HBC made with?
A: Currently the games code is being made in Game Maker. No libraries, no tutorials or stuff like that. The graphics here are the result of hard work and each pixel has been hand drawn without the aid of 3D programs, filters, scanners or existent material. This above all has been done to protect us from copyright and to respect the legitimate owners of the game."

So obviously HBC did create the sprites, and as mentioned above, with painstaking detail. But, Doberrmann got a hold of the sprites even though,

Q: The sprites and graphics for the game are great! Can I use them?
A: No. HBC prides itself on being unique and we plan on keeping it that way.

But, theres this

Q: This game looks strangely similar to Halo: Blood Covenant. Why?
A: Most of the sprites and backgrounds of the game came from Blood Covenant, as the original creator of it (Chainsaw) gave permission for Dobermann to use them.

If I read correctly on HBC's forums, Chainsaws sprites are available for public download, so if these were the sprites used, whats the problem?
