Dear IFSCL users, here is some news about the things to come in the next version, that you wait so much time for..
As always, no release date planned, but be sure that if there must be a version released in 2014, if I can't, I will consider the project as finished/opensourced because It won't make sense to try again and again to find time for it.
What is planned for that version is still the same, some bits of Carthage (without the heart or the garage skid, but with the tower, arena and celestial dome and traps), the scyphozoa as well! (that's exclusive by the way) and as much optimizations as possible.
Optimizations & Carthage:
I try now to use video files rather than png sequences for some animations that aren't interactive, they tends to run faster. But still, we will never get huge performances without supercomputers (the irony!). Nevertheless, they look better and way less heavy than previously
Carthage includes many animations, most of them are really hard to figure out on there utility, like this one, which finally won't be in the final version:
On the other side, there are some others that works, I made them in 3D with 3ds Max or Maya, and then compose them under After Effects:
By the way, the cryptosmasher, at last has his 3D (well video) animation! At last. Some others that needs a huge work:
First step is done but...
(only talking about the big background thing, all the other stuff are piece of cake)
Hard to figure out how to do the lights and color, the 3d model it's okay but.... I've tried but I never get what I wanted.
Seriously, if someone finds how to get such a result (who can show his own process, trough 3d or after effects), please pm me (ifscl[AT]codelyoko.fr or trought the codelyoko.fr forums it's better)
But Also...
There's also new pictures for each mission page in the main menu. They've been made by hand, the 4 lyokowarriors, drawn as season 1,3 and translated. These picture will be chosen at random at the start of the game.
In the small stuff, the name of the sector is directly written as the name of the window, rather than tactical map, I deleted the mini window with the name of the sector which looked ankward. The audio card, which never featured audio samples are now named as ".com"
By the way, a reminder because many people seems to forget it, but I had implemented a feature to collapse the cards together (so they tend to be less memory consuming). Just click on of the button above the window.
There are many many bugs (particulary about the movement system for the tactical map, on Carthage, it's hell..) and I'm not close to finish, I find only one week to work on the IFSCL since September 2013! (and a few others before) So yes, long time. I do my best. Thanks for your patience (well, for the most nervous of you, don't forget I'm the most nervous & frustrated of all).
Immu, busy IFSCL creator.

Evening, everyone!
Today, we have a layout video from season 4. More precisely, a compilation of different videos, a few seconds long each, showing layout stuff.
Until next Sunday on codelyoko.fr for a finding that looks a bit scary in the teaser!

Chronicle of a translation #30

Hello everyone!
We've now given you books 1 and 2 of the Chronicles in English, and we continue our weekly schedule! The heroes' epic adventure now continues on CodeLyoko.fr through the Code Lyoko Chronicles' third book: "The Return of the Phoenix".
Our translators, backed by the rest of the "Chronicle of a translation" team, push on. This week, discover chapter 15 of book III: "The Robot Army".
[The Return of the Phoenix] [Last version: Prologue & 15 chapters] Translated by Kelsey & A_QueenOfFairys
As you will have noticed from our first two books, the following steps have been taken to make sure that our final product looks as much like the real thing as possible:
- A layout that's almost identical to that in the original novels. - Use of fonts in the original novels. - The presence of coloured illustrations in high quality that have been adapted into English. - The presence of icons at the start of every chapter, scanned from the Italian versions and retouched for an optimal rendering.
Finally, we remind you of the section of the site that's completely dedicated to the Chronicles. You can notably find there a gallery containing images from the first two books and which has been updated with illustrations translated into English.
To conclude, for those who haven't already hopped on the bandwagon:
Well, today, here are the "test" logos from Code Lyoko Evolution. As the new website was being created in 2012, it was all a work in progress and the Code Lyoko Evolution hadn't been finalised. Here are all the logos from the site (and yes, these logos are terrible) as well as a bonus logo from the Code Lyoko Evolution online store (in a rather "couldn't be better" kind of quality).
Have a nice evening everyone on codelyoko.fr

Hello all!
We've taken advantage of the Easter holidays to make a little update to the creative section of the site. But of course, a small "Our community's got talent" news post will summarise the update of the Gems Online section!
Fiction
...we're sorry, we truly are. We've got a few authors lined up, but need to get around to actually adding them to the site. Stay tuned!
Fanart
First let's start with a list of pictures added to pre-existing Gem pages:
And finally, a newcomer in our circle of Gems, a Deviant named Graffiti-flower! We invite you to discover her colourful art, which is full of surprises. From adaptations of scenes in the series to comical drawings and all sorts of things, her gallery really warrants its place on the site! Here is a quick glance at her work, and a link to it:
Even at the end of these updates, you can always continue to follow the creative life, Dude Dudu's findings, the Code Lyoko Chronicles and much more to do with Code Lyoko...
...on CodeLyoko.fr!

Hello everyone!
Today we've got a smell yet big finding: small in number, but big in size. Indeed, this week, here are 4 new backgrounds in very high quality: a hospital corridor, the kitchen in Yumi's parents' house at breakfast time, a staircase at Kadic and finally the swimming pool changing rooms! Please direct your thanks to Dudette Bubu! :p
Have a nice day on codelyoko.fr

The IFSCL's 4th birthday
Posted by Immu on 04/13/2014 at 17:10

...And still no new version on the horizon for the celebrated emulator of Jeremy's Supercomputer, but rest assured, Immu thinks about it every day. And at the moment when he can finally put his major project back into production, you can be even more pleased!
"IFSCL: 4th birthday! (And yet more waiting for a version with Carthage or William...) But it will arrive someday. Yes, someday..."
No time to work on the IFSCL for several months, as the IFSCL demands heavy time investment (it's not possible to work on it in spurts). But don't worry, one day, it will return, slowly but surely...
If you want to know more about the IFSCL, head for its section (PC game: IFSCL) at the bottom of the menu on the left. http://en.codelyoko.fr/ifscl/
IFSCL patchwork:
Still a work in progress, it requires you to send one or more photos of your computer with the IFSCL working on screen (with, for example, the program you prefer as the focus of the photo, and preferably with a little contextual stuff around the screen, like a little of the state of your PHYSICAL workspace (i.e. not virtual), keyboard, mouse...well, your Jeremy's workstation, essentially ^^). Send it to ifscl[at]codelyoko.fr (replace the [at] with @) (preferably in good quality, whatever size you'd like, and we can make a montage of all the photos if there are enough)!
Dear IFSCL users, here is some news about the things to come in the next version, that you wait so much time for..
Evening, everyone!
