Legacy of Emotion Demo (http://ps2web.com/media/screens/whatever/LoEdemo.zip)
If you haven\'t already, you\'ll need to download the RTP file from any of the sites listed below:
Mirror 1 (http://ksclan.xfallenangel.yi.org/files/RTPe.exe)
Mirror 2 (http://www.rpgffiles.bizland.com/rtpe.exe)
Mirror 3 (http://www.intershednet.com/RTPe.exe)
After installing that, then you\'re ready to download the actual demo. When the download is complete, unzip all the files and find the RPG_RT.exe file. Click on it to begin playing.
The demo has been play-tested numerous times, but even that is never enough to find all the bugs. If you encounter any such problems, please report them.
I hope you all enjoy the game! :) Please post any questions, comments, or concerns after you\'re done.
-
Downloading now,post results later.Can\' wait :D
-
The mirror links didn\'t work for me.
1) file not found.
2) asked for a password.
3) managed to actually completely crash IE6.0 (stupid microsoft).
The main link worked fine!
EDIT:
How in the world do you install this though - the game.exe won\'t run (missing crown.***), and I did unzip it with subdirs... then setup says it can\'t find a few lzh files to install and aborts too! Argh!
-
Woah. Good job. :) I haven\'t really gotten into it yet but it looks cool. :cool:
Very nicely done. The intro is really good.
182 Studios. lol.
By "Emotion" you mean the PS2 processor, the Emotion Engine, right?
BTW is there anyway to minimize the freakin thing?
-
Well I finished the psx2central part of it.Looking forward for part 2.
Will I be in part 2?If so will I be playable?Last time I wasn\'t sure if I wanted to be playable or not,but now I\'d like to be playable.
Anyhoo about the game.It\'s good,but I have never had enough patience for RPG\'s.
Those battle\'s get old kinda fast especially in theceremony part for that other forum,I don\'t think my Enter button has ever taken such pounding.
But all in all great job.
-
I\'m glad to see that almost no one has run into any problems running the thing. That was my main concern when I posted the link.
Anyway, here it goes...
FatalXception: Try clicking on the links sometime later (if you haven\'t already). Maybe you just tried them out at a bad time or something. Also, your problems with the main file probably came from the fact that you don\'t have the RTP. The RTP contains pretty much everything you need to get the demo going. Try doing everything you did after you install the RTP, and it should work.
Solid Snake 88: Yeah, Emotion = Emotion Engine, basically. I was having trouble thinking up a title, and then it just popped into my head to use the word "Emotion." It\'s such a cool word...
Oh, and I don\'t know of any way to minimize the window. Someone else may be able to help you, though.
nO-One: Yeah you\'ll be in the final game as a playable character.
And thanks for all the compliments, everyone. If you like what you played in the demo, then prepare to be blown away by the final game. :)
-
I played to the first saving-crystal, the ceremony part. And I\'m truly impressed - great job \'Ways! The musics, the graphics, the characters... all great!
I\'m truly waiting forward to the final version - where I hope I\'ll be playable ;)
Truly - your game inspired me to try, and maybe I will after all...
-
Yeah, you\'ll be playable, Darth Joyda. I can even upload the facepic that I\'ll use for your character if you want.
Thanks for the good words, and you should try making your own game. It really helps to burn some free time.
-
K, got it workin\' I\'ll try it now. That first mirror still doesn\'t work for me, though it might be my download accelerator. link 3 worked this time (no microsoft crash)...
-
"Cannot open file system2"
I have no idea what that error means or how to fix it. Little help here...
-
Here\'s how I got mine to work.
1. Run and install the .exe found on the three "mirror links".
2. Download the main link.
3. Unzip the main link - be sure you got subdirs.
4. In the newly unzipped dir, run the RPG_RT.exe file. If that doesn\'t work, I\'m outta ideas. (I ran the setup.exe too, but that was before I had the rtp shell, and it failed, so I don\'t think that helped)
- What\'s your OS?
-
OS = WinME
I see the "system2.png" file in the exe\'s dir, but for some reason it\'s not running it, or maybe that isn\'t the system2 file the game is talking about. In any case, running demo = no good.
-
Go and re-unzip the files, and make sure to make original directories. My system2.png file is not in the same dir as the .exe, it\'s in /system --> there are 13 subdirs it has to make....
-
Hmmmm...I certainly have no idea how to fix this. I hope you\'re able to play the demo some how, Ryu, because you\'re in it!
-
I got it to work, I dragged and dropped the info earlier rather then just unzipping it the correct way. Anyways, GREAT demo. Gr81 was HILARIOUS and I looked pretty neat. I can\'t wait to be able to use myself later, damn sweet if you ask me. One comment though, you might want to give each character a distinct animation when they are being introduced so we know who is who. I would also like to recommend some midi versions of some popular FF\\CT\\SOM\\other RPG\'s music so the game flows more nicely. Good midi battle music would make those battles less boring. I can assist you if you like when the time is right.
-
im downloading it now Ways great work (pressumably :))
you dont suppose theres a possiblitity i could make a guest appearance in the final version, even though i was absent when you orignally made the thread about the RPG? pretty please, ahh well, its your decision
-
Thanks, Ryu. Any help will be appreciated.
And Bobs_Hardware, you\'re in the final game. You\'ll be a fairly major character.
-
Bob is always a major character. I\'m going to download it and check it out now.
-
Ooooo.... I\'m at work now, but when I get home I will definitely download this:):) Thanks 182!!
-
No, \'Ways, do not upload my face-pic - I want it to be a secret :)
About my role - is it a small one or a large one ( mind that I\'m happy just to have an appearance in the game, may it be long or short, I don\'t mind :) )?
Do not give any spoilers - the demo left me graving for more...
And that\'s probably what you were seaking for, right? ;)
can you say roughly when you will \'release\' the final product, and how long will the game actually be?
-
Yeah you\'ll have a large role, Darth Joyda.
Final game\'s scheduled release date is July 2, 2001 (my birthday). That can easily change during the upcoming weeks, though, since it\'s so early right now.
-
NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!, I can\'t d/l the rtp file, someone please, please make some sort of new link or something, cause I can\'t d/l the thing.
btw. how big is the thing, cause if it\'s not too big someone could email it to me, please help me out
-
So who are the ones with big parts?
-
Like Ryu said, it would be great if you could make some kind of unique animation or sound effect or something like that so we would know who is who.
-
Hahaha.
It was pretty funny to see the members of Psx2Central fighting with those fanboys :laughing:.
I finished the demo, but i haven\'t seen all the scenes yet( i\'ll start it again later).
Good job 182Ways; i can\'t wait for the next release of the demo :).
PS: I\'m with Ryu and SS88 here; please, give every chara some unique stuff( a movement, a sound, and specially 1 or 2 good scenes) in the final version. That\'s what the people will like the most about the game.

Those weren\'t PSX2 Central members fighting those fanboys.
BTW 182Ways, you should make fanboy leaders(like DocWiz and co.). Oh and you probably should work on the battle system.

Ah, you say that part when 182Ways appears...
I was talking about the demo in general.
-
I would love to ttry this game out, since it seems cool.
But, when I start my character, he immediatly walks left and I can only move him up and down, and I cant get him off the wall.
Help?
-
I had a good time playing 182. Two things:
If it\'s not too late, could you make me the man that comes in and warns Bjorn at the beginning? I know I never asked to be in earlier, but a cameo would be nice.
The other thing is when you knock hit points off, it should say "are off" instead of "is off" if it is more than one hit point lost. You probably already know this, and it\'s probably part of the program, but I figured I\'d point it out, in case it slipped through.
Nice work. :)

Keep the replies comin\'!
politiepet: The RTP file is about 12 megs.
nO-One: All admins, mods, and "major" members (meaning those with a lot of posts) will have large roles in the final game.
Solid Snake 88 / Ryu / Falgarok: I don\'t understand what you\'re all saying. What animations are you referring to? And what sound effects? Are you talking about the battle sequences?
Solid Snake 88: Yeah, there are Fanboy leaders. In the demo, you saw SegaCultX (from here at \'Central) and dark dragon (from PS2Web). I\'ll include all significant fanboys in the final game. And what should be changed in the battle system?
Faithdies: This is a common problem. You probably have a controller (or some similar device) plugged into your computer. If you do, then you\'ll have to remove it in order to play the demo. If you don\'t, then I don\'t know what\'s wrong...
Aaron: That\'s a good idea, actually. I\'ll have you as the guy in the beginning. You\'ll be playable later in the game though, since you\'re a mod here.
-
And at the start there is a small text error when Bjorn is talking.
-
Cool, so who is David Hayter going to voice for in the final game? ;)
-
Me of course. After all, I\'m Solid Snake(88).
;)

First of all I think what me, Ryu, and Falgorak were trying to say was: just try to give the characters a little bit more personality. Make them similar to what they are like(or at least what their posts are like) in real life. Their mannerisms, the way they speak, ect ect.
The battle system, eh, like I said it needs some work. I\'m not expecting any Final Fantasy, but it needs to be a bit more detailed. It would be great if you could actually see the characters and if they had attack animations.
Now I know this is a TON of work so its not like you have to do it, it would just look nicer.
P.S. The fanboys need a new in-battle pic. Right now they look like zombies.
BTW how big do you estimate the final version will be?
-
All in all, I\'m very pleased with the demo - it\'s better than I expected! I\'m just happy if you, \'Ways, just fix those small typos ( wich aren\'t bad - every game on earth has them! ).
And I\'m glad to hear that I have a large role... !
My first appearance in a video-game. It\'s like starring in a movie... But, how many forums there is involved ( the three kingdoms - does it mean there\'s three forums - Psx2central, Ps2lair and Ps2web? )?
You are probably advertizing this game in other forums as well (?)
-
damnit, 12 megs, that won\'t fit in my account, do you have some sort of other link?
-
all i can say is great demo, its hilarious when you see all the people you \'know\' come into the game
but i havent finished
also with the file you had to download, i should be able to get RPG Maker working myself, thanks again
-
Yeah!!!
I got a chance to check it out last night. I\'m not too far in, but I saw a monk...errr..nevermind:) Good game, with humor too.
I literally can\'t wait for the full game. I will ALWAYS have a spot in my heart for flat-sprite RPG\'s and 182Ways you are good at it:)
BTW, will more houses be accessible in the final?
-
So all the top posters have major roles.WooHoo I guess I get to slay a few fanboys :D
And like CygnuXI said,I literally can\'t wait for part.2.
The only thing that I\'d really like to see,is make the characters more like themselves.Give whitty comments etc...
Other wise Great Job :)
-
c\'mon, please give me some other link, cause I wanna play the damn thing!!!!
-
Well I\'m glad that so many of you enjoyed the demo and are anticipating the finale.
Solid Snake 88: When you said...
Make them similar to what they are like(or at least what their posts are like) in real life.
That\'s the problem I\'m having. I can perceive some members\' personality through their posts, but I can\'t with everyone. For instance: Darth Joyda, ooseven, Ryu, mm, and TheGR81 all have unique personalities which I can easily implement into the game without having to exaggerate anything. But for some of you, it\'s really hard to try and do this. It\'s hard to explain, but I know what you\'re saying, and I\'ll try my best. As for the battle system: It\'s gonna stay. The one in the demo was pretty boring because all the characters were low-level, and there wasn\'t too much to do besides attack and cast the occasional spell. I can assure you that most will not be disappointed with how the battle system turns out a little later in the game (example: Summons, Partner Magic, High-Level Spells, and Final Attacks). Oh, and the Zombie graphic during battles was entirely intentional. I think forum fanboys are zombies, so I used the zombie pic to illustrate that.
Darth Joyda: Yes, just the three forums that you listed will be involved. Other forums (like PSera and the very old PS2k) will be mentioned, but not a big part of the story. And yeah, I have been advertising the game at PS2Web and PS2Lair.
politiepet: Here, go to this site: RPG Maker Website (http://rpgmaker.chat.ru/) Click on the RM2k button on the left side. Then click on Setup Files. You\'ll be taken to a new page. Scroll down until you see the English RTP links. There\'s a list of about 21 links to the RTP file. Try them out, and hopefully one will work.
Bobs_Hardware: No problem.
CygnusXI: Ah, so someone finally found the secret character? Cool. Thanks for the compliment. :)
And yes, more houses will be available to enter in the final game. But, unlike most RPGs, you won\'t be able to just walk right into one unless it\'s your own. Instead, you\'ll have to knock, and hope that someone opens the door (which will be determined randomly everytime you enter the town).
nO-One: See my comment to Solid Snake 88 above to learn about my dilemma with making characters have a distinct personality.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Does anyone out there want to help me out? What I need is a forum veteran (who\'s been here for atleast 6 months) to aid me in recalling this forum\'s history. If you want to help, then PM me and you\'ll most likely get the job. I\'m allowing more than one person to do this, and if you get picked, I\'ll put your name in the ending credits and make your character in the game a little more significant. All of those interested must have a good knowledge of what\'s happened here at PSX2Central since the earlier days, and they must also be willing to put a good amount of time into helping me. Thanks!
-
thanks alot man, you\'re the best (after me of course j/k)
dowloading now, I\'ll definitely try out the demo, ps. I dunno if I could be of help to you with the history of this forum \'n\' stuff, but if you got any Q\'s I\'ll try t be of help
-
I guess you\'re right about the fanboy picture, they are like zombies!
The battle system is fine, good job.
So I\'m assuming the secret character is Cly......er, forget it.
I\'m looking forward to the final version alot. Keep up the good work. :D
-
Okay, I\'ve played it through,
I must say, you did a very good job, it looks very professional \'n\' stuff, albeit a little short, (Iplayed it through in about 5 minutes),keep up the good work!!!!
ps. did anyone else have the problem with the sound freezing? maybe it wont happen next time I dunno
-
One thing you need to do is include music(like when you\'re walking around and during battle, ect) cause that would really help inhance the experience. And like politepet said its very professional looking. Good job.
-
iv played the demo and its pretty cool so far, am i still in it? i dont wana be playable, but all i want is a huge role as a bad guy, thats all i want, you can make me a secret playable character like you sauid beofre, but i wana be bad, and look b!tchin ok? thanks & keep up the good work
-

Huh? There is music...
And about the sound freezing: There\'s no known cause for it, because it seems to happen randomly. It\'s rare, fortunately. If it happens to you (or has happened to you already), then fear not, because it probably won\'t happen the next time you play through the game.
-
you should had had SegaKid as the biggest all time sega fanboy...allthough, he hasnt been around for ages
the bit that made me laugh the most (apart from seeing mm\'s character trait in the character list) is the Gr81\'s rock appearance. ahh, classic stuff, you even had the music
(i hope i havent given one to you already this thread)
you have officially, earned youself a :bounce: congratulations son :)
-
Hmm, weird. I got no music. Maybe I just had the volume down too low. BTW I went straight for the ceremony so you guys are totally ruining the surprise for me. :(
Oh and for the record I would like to say that The Rock is the greatest wrestler of all time. If ya smell what The Rock is cookin.
-
The music needs to be heard in order to enjoy the experience, SS88. :) I can\'t believe you played the game without knowing there was music, and yet you still liked it.
-
I had a problem during install. I already had the RTPe program installed (I play with RPG2KM a lot myself), but the program refused to work. It said a certain file was missing> (?)
-
I still never figured out how to install it, but I have figured out how to run it through the program. And I gotta say, I am absolutely AMAZED. You did one f*cking great job man. I salute ya!
*salutes*
Awesome storyline by the way.
