what would really help me sleep is if i was physically active for one reason or another.

thats usually how i make myself sleep when i cant sleep at 3am and i want to smash my skull in. i end up lifting weights

^rofl, no thanks im good. if i wanted work out those specific muscles, i could at any time.
i was thinking more along the lines of a barbell and a bench. damn i wish i had a bench.

anywho back on topic here, how are we going to sift through all the hacks and fix them so theyre properly under byte or aob. i guess you could automate a search for XX XX XX XX (where it counts the characters and where the spaces are) and flag it for us mods to fill in the fields and such. because a lot of aob hacks have more than just the aob in them, and i dont think you could get a bot to recognize that the replacement aob of 47 or 02 rather than a XX XX XX XX as mentioned above.

and what the hell would glitches, charles rewrites, and such go under.

The Notes tab idea has definitely been mentioned before, and it's something I agree with. I'm attracted to the idea  for such things as hack notes, like letting people know any language alterations (variable names in Polish/French/etc.) or other relevant info, such as if a game is obfuscated or encrypted.

Not only are there sometimes multiple AOBs in a single submitted hack, as thenewcomer pointed out, but there are other elements as well to consider before trying to automate the conversion process. Some AOBs are five bytes long. I think we've all seen/posted others that are over 100 bytes long. Will the automation be sure to convert those accurately? And if not, what risk is there that the process won't completely cock up the AOBs that someone worked to uncover? Personally, I'd rather donate my time and energy manually converting AOBs one by one from the old format to the new if it means avoiding the risk of irreperably garbling hacks.

This would also make it easier to work around AOBs that do as I sometimes do: putting xx's in the "change to" line and then postscripting the AOB with an explanation of how the person can input whatever they want to customize gameplay more to their liking, such as changing the force of gravity in a game.

 

This new point system seem more fair than before, i'll do only Simple CE Hack cause i am totally uncapable with AoB and i think is good to prize more people that can make more complicated things.

Hey there, guess what's about 90% done?  THIS SHIT!  W00T!

Meh, anyway, just all jazzed up that I'm working on the site again. :)

Yup, the only thing left to take care of when I posted that was the delete script, and it's taken care of.

I've also rebuilt our topic lists.  It looks so much nicer, and it's SEO friendly!

lol, soooo true.  Every time I make a change, we have a dozen people bitching that they hate it.

You should try submitting a new hack.  The new AoB system is pretty slick.

As an added bonus, we'll be able to convert AoB's straight to cheat tables or into the KH Ultra Trainer.
