Development Journals and Discussion / a large leaf::Drogo's learnings
« on: November 02, 2006, 05:42:44 am »
: the small elven boy sits on the hill near the playing badgers with the leaf in his lap: drogo we have to teach you how to write for the people who dont know paw prints  yes i see the badgers playing and i want to play to but this is important,im sure bris and rhizome want you to know how to write at least the basics so pay attention  :the small hand slowly makes marks across the leaf and in turn shows them to him:
  [SIZE=13]a b c[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]ok drogo look at these: holding the leaf up where he can see it: these are letters see a b c[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]ok now you try:handing drogo the leaf and the charcoal:[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]:looking down at the leaf and the marks then holding the piece like a stick and making some marks as he looks at the ones above:[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]a b c[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]:handing back the leaf and smiling at him the boy looks and takes back the charcoal:[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]no like these see how this is a circle with a little hook try it again       a[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]:handing it back to him once more and drogo stares at it for a bit then takes up the charcoal and makes a mark:[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]a[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=13]:the small boy looking as he makes the mark:  thats it now lets try the next letter[/SIZE]
 
  [SIZE=13]:the badgers continue to play in the grasses bringing stick for drogo to throw from time to time as he practices his letters with his young friend:[/SIZE]

Poetic License / how druids really see the so called civilized folk
« on: October 31, 2006, 08:41:57 am »
: the sky grows brighter as the sun rises,its beams slowly piercing the canopy above

a branch breaks and several brightly colored figures in robes and staffs are moving into the glade,the animals all take note but most simply move to the depths of the trees

"over here" the taller of the three calls out"i see a bear over here isnt that what johan wants,bears?"
"yep two bear pelts each "replies his companion as they move slower now and spread out to surround the berry eating bears

one of the robed forms begins to chant and wave his arms and hands in strange motions as a single arrow swiftly impacts his shoulder disrupting his spell .

the figures turn only to see a green and black shadow moving toward them,when the ground erupts at their feet vines entangling them securely and walls of flame rise from nothing to turn the small area into a sweltering arc around the tangled men

thrashing about with their staffs the men attempt to cast once more but more arrows rain down making their efforts useless

the one seeming to be in charge cries out" why do you accost us this way we are simply hired for a job by a city man"

a whispering voice reaches their ears over the flickering flames" the city man sends you because he knows his crimes against nature means his death to complete the cycle"

several more arrows zip into non vital areas making the mens efforts for release pointless

the voice comes to their ears once more" when men of the city are injured the clerics come to their aid purging what has caused the infirm"
a slight pause then speaks again
" these woods and all of nature are kept by the druids and we aid them when they are injured by purging that which causes harm the same way"

"a shame your not in the city now isnt it"

the flames roar up once more and the surrounding circle closes the space swiftly engulfing the men and causing a swift end to their writhing screaming  forms

the flames vanish and nothing remains save the charred remains of more hunters who plague nature for the so called city man,the birds begin to chirp and the animals slowly move about their way foraging and playing in the grasses and roots

the green and black shadow merges into the trees once more ever vigilant against the so called innocent hunters of the city,the brown clad archers in the limbs above resume their vigil watching the woods they call home

*a taut goblin hide cover slowly opens revealing the first page on this small tome*

Mother i know your watching over me and can see this,but there are some very straneg people around this place they call hlint

my fire fan spell is almost flawless with just a hiccup here or there if i dont relax completely

i was out practicing and ran into more of those dispicable creature except they dont ride wolves here,they run on their stumpy legs and make their raspy cries of battle,hmph,battle indeed this new cable on your crossbow that i found under the bed works very well,and my aim imporves if i dont think about them running to me

needless to say mother,i have a fine necklace of goblin ears and fangs in my pouch

you know i had read in my studies about mage familiars mother,and you told me when it was time i would have one too,do you recall that?
well its time because i was walking near the wooded area just outside hlint and i heard this rustling of leaves,i glanced about but didnt see anything at first,but then i saw an eye watching me,and then another from the leaves so i thought it was a cat or something,then i saw a few more eyes and they all blinked at the same time

a little nervous i told it to come out and show itself,and it did
my familiar is an eyeball mother,a real one that floats and shoots ice beams and everything,i named him iyes cause he has so many
and hes great when i was target practicing at goblins,he floated right beside my shoulder and when i shot one he would ice them at the same time dropping them like a sack of rocks

i made a small collection mother from the dead bodies we killed and offered a small prayer to the mad one who has been watching over me i think since that fateful day they took you from me

i have grown a goatee and have kept it braided as it grows,so i dont burn it really,but i dont sleep well and i think it shows some

i have to go study now mother and keep my incantations fresh in my head so when i go shooting again i can practice with more then your crossbow.

ill come tell you about it later
ps. they revere life over everything here its kind of strange when a few miles down the road they simply leave injured people to die
these two elves i ran into tried to convince me that goblins are good,i told them indeed they are they are good at standing just still enough to try a head shot

more to come goodnight mother


*a gloved hand moves the cover closed the goblin hide creaking shut*

Development Related Topics (DRT) / ways to help kill the lag beast
« on: May 24, 2006, 08:18:55 am »
i know im new and all but on a server i have played on for 3 years we had figured out ways to kill the dreaded lag fiend

all the pack oxen that dont vanish when the players log add lag as they have to be loaded onto each players machine when you enter the line of sight

parties that have more then 15 people with maps on to keep from getting lost all cause lag
kill your maps and it will decrease as well as keeping parties to around 8 or so we found was best to pose the very minimal

all the visual spell effects that though they look great on all spells,but some just shouldnt have lasting visual effect

some should i.e barkskin,stoneskin ,darkfire,flameweapon
some shouldnt i.e shield,the elemental protects

some will say you wont know when your spell wears off,you will when the icon is gone from the top right of your screen

these are little things but cause the servers alot of work to keep everyone seeing all these things that are there but dont really have to be seen

the oxen are the example of placeables the server has to keep track of and makes it work harder to make sure they are there to be seen when you run by them ,that could be used during a battle in the mines so to speak

just two cents of things we found over the years to help servers work better so you dont have to wonder if yoru attack actually happened till a minute later and all the enemies are laying as corpses

ok i have been playing around with the ears and such a bit and then i see someone speaking in the lang that is mine and i have to use the ear to speak it

with the /dm [ thing

is there a default type to show just speaking elven,dwarve or such that it shows speaking in elven and not using ear of elven

does this make sense i hope
