Seriously, I am having one of those moments where I'm feeling so lucky that I stumbled into this community. All this and all you ask is a donation if I can afford it....

Amazing.

 You don't, you would need the 2da hak which I'm not releasing until monday. (And don't worry folks its just a 600kb download).

Sweet... the day's getting close, too.  Let's see if I can meet my OOC goal of getting Zug to level 10 (which coincides with Zug's IG goal of being allowed into the advanced crafting hall) before it gets here (just about 8,000 XP to go... it's soooooo close I can almost taste it...)
Title: Re: V3 Pick and Boo
Post by: Leanthar on February 22, 2007, 09:55:52 AM
*mental note to self* Don't let Zug in to the advanced crafting hall...must raise level to 11. Then keep raising it as he gets within 8000xp.  

*chuckles and smiles* Just joking Faldred!

We can code this easily enough...
  What?....Oh....Did I say that out loud?

*sigh*  :)

Yeah, I only found out about the level 10 restriction after spending 21,000 on an advanced crafting badge (waaaaaay back at level eight); only being able to play for an hour at a shot has made it a long, slow grind, though I've managed to get some RP in there as well.

(On an OOC note, I do wonder what that Wemic was doing near Port Hampshire yesterday, but I was either too slow or not meant to follow him.)

 You know, most folks would think that annoying the really, REALLY large guy carrying the axe is probably a bad idea...

I always thought annoying the guy with access to the toolset was worse :O

  For today how about some gritty environs. These are some screenshots of Fort Vehl, one of the new starting locations for less than savory characters.

Oh no... that hakpak is off Wyvren Crown isn't it?...
it really lags the less capable computers :(....


Don't get me wrong - it looks stunning!
But what about the lag it makes? ;.;

errr..... sunny blue skies?
Title: Re: V3 Pick and Boo
Post by: Pankoki on February 23, 2007, 01:39:05 AM
We are aware of the performance hits some of the new tilesets may produce on old systems and have taken it into account when creating combat oriented areas.
  And as far as the blue skies, we sort of had to build backwards. See, in the event that in the future the skies are restored to their previous glory, we would have had to go through each individual area and set their respective skyboxes. So instead of going through that pain, we have this nifty little tool that does a massive skybox change to all the exterior areas in game, setting it to the gloomy icky sky that we have now. So right before we're ready to compile the last version that will go live we run this application and voila, nasty darkened skies fun for all the family.

Its good to hear you pre-thought the lag!

Great work! (ive checked myself again with Wyvren since I changed some stuff in my computer and it runs pretty well, with lots of placeables.. maybe ill get lucky :) )
