All these Zeta rips make me wonder...
Are an Iconer, Mapper, and a Coder really needed for a rip that already fully coded, mapped, and iconed?
rofl...sad really.
I MADE A KEWL DBZ GAME COME UNT PLAY PLZ THIS ONE IS ARIGINEL!!
(BTW ME NEED MAPPER CODER ICONER!)
Every single game.... =/

That is an interesting point, one which I hadn't thought of before. If you take something that is already made why are you trying to get ahold of programmers and artists? Hmm, good question indeed.
Maybe they are hoping that they can get a good programmer and artist to come along some day and actually, really do something new with it. If that's the case, they shouldn't hold their breath. | |

Pfffft, sometimes the ones that have been around the longest are the ones most ignorant... http://games.byond.com/people/Kholint Forged: 2/18/04 Read it and weep. =p and i aint preaching what i say is just oppinion (thats right!) i have played all of the dball games that i have been told are good and few are worth the time... It's a saying. Essentially, "you don't need to tell us about how zeta sucks so much, we already know". Since you slightly misunderstood what I was trying to say in my last post, I'll simplify for you: We already know. | |
pffft 2004? that doesnt even make you a"midbie" i joined just before the summer of 2004...and after playing solid for a year gave up for a few months, then reinstalled byond to check out a very anticpated friends game (huge let down...dball game called nos..it was awfull)...(but not a rip)
and what do you already know? i am trying to put the point across that zeta version 47 is a good game thats overlooked as the name zeta has cast a shadow over it so to speak. | |

Again...I wasn't trying to make out I was an "oldbie" nor a "midbie", or any label you want to spit out- I doubt I even qualify for "newbie" status yet. =p I was basically showing you that assuming others are elistist stuck-in-the-muds because they tell you you're making a useless post that repeats what hundreds of people have said before, - it's a bad idea. The irony is that you ended up criticising my supposed boasting of time spent here, then ended up proclaiming your own time of origin. | |
just tested your naruto game, seems pretty good btw everyone was wondering how you msnaged to get it published
and yea 2001 is pretty old :P | |

Back on topic plz? Nah, all the other Pokemon rips (using Mjams source code) suck anyway. Mine already dominates the BYOND Pokemon community (because of it's superior battle system). Anyway, you may think otherwise, but I won't care. ^_^ | |

Maybe these guys realize the Zeta code is crap and want a programmer to clear out those bugs and implement new features. Only problem is, the Zeta source is so bad that a competent programmer would tell you to start from scratch. Lummox JR | |
hey lummox your incursion game is what brought me back to byond :P after playing risk for the 1st time at a m8s the other week i came on byond looking for a similar game and yours is very good well done on that...
back to zeta...the source code is bad huh? then why do about 98% of all dball games use the same or a similar system? The ones that dont i agree are better eg zeta revised or zeta version 47 which are offical and are actually fun.. zeta is a curse word...i hear people (newbs) using the word in a phrase like "omg this game is such a zeta rip" but then these same people have never even seen zeta...this zeta curse word has damaged zeta's reputation and people wont play the newest version because of all the rips and bad press surrounding it...version 47 is the most original dball game on byond and one of the best games.. all of the older games are better in so many ways than the newest version apart from one thing..the most important thing..the battle system.. in the end all of these rips eventually fail it may be a matter of months but they still do..best way to make a game is to take something original or at least partly original have your own ideas...take your time and work from scratch...these people who simply take the old zeta code add some [expletive deleted] half assed icons and add new *funkier* name should be banned from making games :P | |
Expect more, Raekwon has been *trying / has * selling copies of all his games. How do I know? He tried selling them to me
| |
rai whored his games out...i have him on my msn and he needed money a while back so basically went around selling popular versions of zeta for like $5...
he now works in a fish port... rae is a good owner as oppose to nick though (nick sucks) rae at least cares about zeta and it's players...the only thing i think is harsh is rae sold some stuff that nick had also worked on and didnt split the profit with nick...he infact left nick with the costs of running zeta..website...24/7 server etc etc | |

Thanks! I've had a new version including the Corridor card waiting in the wings for a while now. I suppose I should just up and release it. back to zeta...the source code is bad huh? then why do about 98% of all dball games use the same or a similar system? The ones that dont i agree are better eg zeta revised or zeta version 47 which are offical and are actually fun.. Most non-rips end up inspired by what their creators are familiar with, which is mostly just Zeta. There's not a lot of originality in the fan game crowed. There are also many games that started out as Zeta rips but divested themselves of Zeta later on. Lummox JR | |

All Zeta-rips may be a rip, but still try to be as original as possible. Wich requires I.E. pixel-artists for the wanted original icons, and such. O-matic | |
and has anyone else noticed the surprising amount of naruto games also sneaking in?
it's a shame thought zeta 47 is a good game (cant stand the owner nick) but it's a good game with an original and fun battle system and even though i dont play i see things being added all the time! it's just a shame everyone in there is 800milion powerlevel so it scares new players off..
zeta is now a common name on byond and is turning into a dirty word:(
