can someone get a decompiled version of the swf available?


A person on the Xbox-Scene Forum decompiled it. See below:

Some things.

Decompiling the flash movie, here's the action script code:

} // End of the function
getNewTime = function ();
getNewTime();
intvl = setInterval(getNewTime, 1000);

// [Action in Frame 5]
stop();

// [Action in Frame 6]
stop();
::End::

Note the line:

target_mill = date.utc(2005, 8, 27, 12);

Is this the result date and time???

Also, there is an image in the background, which is what the flashless people see:

 		btw
"teller is here " have some interesting info on that

"teller" is dutch for "timer" or "count-down mechanism"
like a "afteller" being a person or meachanism or object counting down" or "aftellen" = counting down ( "af" being "down" in this verb )
like "er af springen" to jump down " ( "af" being down and "springen being "jump" )

just giving my "dutch perspective" on thing

btw
greetings from holland to you all LOL

Because 4orty2wo may be involved. Considering everything they've done so far has been for Microsoft.


Yes, but also, Our Colony was Microsoft and xbox, no?

I could be wrong and am prepared for a nice trout, but it doesn't have the 42 feel to me. Besides that 'feel' that I can't quite quantify, have they ever done a campaign so closely tied to the property that it has logins to a press section or where the site is registered by the client? Have you ever known 42 to give you a site without a bit of story to get it started? Perhaps I'm taking that as a sign that it's just a bit to 'sloppy' or 'premature' to be 42. And, frankly, I take the fact that it doesn't have that certain something that I get from a 42 game as a sign that they're not putting their heart into the campaign which could be troubling. (this does not mean that I think outright that this will be a bad experience, someone else could certainly be putting their heart into it!)

And, not that I believe everything posted in comment sections of various sites, but the link that CoolGuy89 directed us to contains comments from someone that claims to have worked on the site. In those comments, he mentions that it's from the same guys that brought you OurColony. That's enough (for me) to go with my gut and say it's from the OurColony guys and not one of the other known teams (including or especially 42).

If it is the OurColony guys, I'm anxious to see their next effort. The first one didn't captivate me, maybe this one will. If I'm wrong (gasp!) and it is 42, well, sorry for doubting you guys!

Oh, I'm 98% sure it's not 4orty2wo. But Ehsan was asking why people cared. And I think some people care because it's XBox related, and some people care because since it's Microsoft, they think it might be 4orty2wo, and some people care for both reasons.

I, personally, care because I'm bored and I hope, despite Our Colony, that Microsoft might provide us with some good entertainment, even if it's non-4orty2wo entertainment. I mean, the Cortana letters were cool! Smile

And just in case I am wrong, and it is 4orty2wo...well, that's another reason to keep an eye on it. Wink

 		in re the 'convo' between Phaedra, Ehsan and myself...

Yeah, I just wanted to point out that it might not be 42 where you left it rather open that it could be which is I explained my reasonings (subjective as they may be). As far as Ehsan's original question, I agree that it's getting the attention that it is because it's hitting three eager audiences (console gamers, OurColony fans, and 42 fans). In fact, I might even buy that it's the xbox tie in that is driving that attention more than 42. After all, there are a lot of console gamers on the board, thanks to ILB and OurColony, that are eating up any and all news regarding the next generation consoles. Throw in a possible online campaign and, well, we see what happens Smile

We also can't forget that OurColony didn't bring in the number of new members that ILB did, it did bring quite a few and this could be the sequel to that. Some of us might not have been captivated by it, but lots were. We can't ignore that (or them... hey all you ourcolony peoples!). Heck, wasn't the guy that won it from this board... getting old, memory is going.

 		The cortana letters had absolutley zip to do with MS guys. The cortana letters where before Bungie was even bought by Microsoft, and might have even been way back when Halo was supposed to be a game for the Mac, before they even changed it over to a Pc version. Then Ms bought them and they switched to Xbox.
Just saying, Ms hasn't exactly proven to me that they have the story mind that either Bungie or Forty Two have.

Exactly right, thats why they employ both Bungie and 4orty2wo, to do the work for them.

 		Not sure if this was already mentioned, but I found that when you change it to http://www.origenxbox360.org you are redirected to a Google search for "Oriental Generation". Whatever it is, it has to do with Asia somehow; there's a bonsai tree on the page.

And as much as I'd like it to, this probably has nothing to do with Asian Kung-Fu Generation...

 		Maybe it's acknowledging this Italian forum that's also following the page. I found this by adding quotes to "Oriental Generation".
Ha, and in the time it took to post this, it appears the http://www.origenxbox360.com/ page is back.

 		Well quite obviously it now seems that "Origen" stands for ORIental GENeration... so it has something to do with Japan I'm willing to bet, rather than simply a language variant of Origin, or beginnings... maybe both... *shrug*.
