Sorry about that, I'll try to get it done when/if I finish the DS project I'm making for the neoflash competition.
(for those interested, the project in question is a "first person shooter maker" kind of app with an embedded level editor; I doubt I'll finish it in time but so far my tests have been promising in terms of feasibility)

Yay. I'll keep holding my breath then! GL with the new project. Sounds like the old Shoot-em-up construction kit I used to have on the Amiga 500+.

"Programming site"? Smealum coded this with C/C++ and libnds.
The source code isn't out either. The only way you could do that is somehow completely recreate DScraft. Which isn't happening.

When I load the FAT rom from akmenu4.nds, I get a black screen on top and bottom. If I load it normally from my games folder, I get a Guru Meditation error. I use an R4i.

You know one other thing I'd like to see? To have the option to turn off the night/day transition. Where I play it is very hard to see when it is night (in game) and I'm always skipping to daytime. Would be nice to have the option for keeping it at day all the time. Anyway, just an idea.

For anyone curious, I just posted my projects on the neoflash website, so here's "FPS Maker" and sample FPS project "ACOTSYE". They're both completely unfinished but at any rate this is what it looks like :

I know development on this has practically stopped, but I've been playing it non-stop (in hospital---awwww) and I'd love to convert my map to regular minecraft. I've been looking at the map in a hex editor, but it's all greek to me. Since we have a minecraft to ds map converter, any ideas how we can convert from ds to mc?

Hmm. Found this AOS converter that says it supports dscraft map. Maybe can do dscraft >AOS >minecraft proper? I tried it out though and didn't get anywhere. :(

Can someone please help me? I'm having trouble with this.
I installed the first version, nds file in the root, dscraft folder in the root as well.
The game runs but I see no world files when clicking single player.

I tried the FAT version and it gives me a red screen of death.

I'm using M3 Perfect SD.

Did you read the OP?

Included are a "worlds" directory and mapGen program. The worlds directory contains several pre-generated worlds for you to explore; simply drag and drop the files to the dscraft/worlds directory to install each one.
The mapGen program is used to generate new worlds. Simply execute it and follow the steps.

Yes.
It says I don't need those maps though, do I? I already have testmap.map and small.map in the worlds folder.


Edit: I removed files from my SD to make room for all the map files, and it still didn't work with all the map files installed. The texture seems to load fine, with the menu screen showing the texture just fine. The texture tab shows 2 eldpack tabs. The world tab just shows absolutely no tabs besides the back tab.

I have the same problem and I've tried everything suggested :nayps3:

Worlds folder goes Root/DScraft/Worlds right?
Is my M3 slot 2 just not compatable?

I don't understand why it can pick up everything but the map files.
Do you have used the right DLDI patch? Do you have selected the Nitro version?

I used both versions. The Nitro version works, but no world files show up.
FAT version shows a red error screen on the bottom DS screen.

I used the M3 SD DLDI patch on both.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
