[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="2" id="2646286"] The only sim that keeps me interested is Dwarf Fortress, and its scope is quite different than your average sim. [/quote] Someone should remake Dwarf Fortress with Elemental. Now that's a version of Dwarf Fortress I'd like to play!!!

Look up tutorials on 3DSmaX my friend. It can do animations as well as make models. Check this out brother: http://designreform.net/2008/11/3ds-max-intro-to-animation/ Hope that helps a little.

Seeing this makes me realize just how easy it will be to make polymorph spells. Good stuff ;)

And that could at least potentially be attributed to the Editor that came with Civ III, where you could design your own units, buildings, maps, etc. Lies, all lies!! We all know there's no such thing as a "Good" Civ game *dodges incoming rocks* <br

[quote who="Aesir Rising" reply="14" id="2699627"]Raven X: That sounds more like the built-in NWN map transition (at least how I'm reading your description). Nothing special there as far as game data saves - it just happened. I'm talking more about the persistent worlds that ran multiple interconnected servers. Some examples include Exaria (two servers), the Avlis and CoPaP servers (dozen or more...iirc) and ALFA (many servers). When a character transit

[quote who="SpaghettiMon" reply="13" id="2699625"] I'm curious about this too, because one thing I've wanted to do with some mod ideas in my head is create dungeons with an overworld map. [/quote] There is one way I can think to do it now, but, it's a slight trade off. Make the Map for the New Location a Tactical Map and assign that map to a specific spot on the world map. When the player steps on that spot they enter combat and when the tactical map loads up it can be the i

[quote who="SpaghettiMon" reply="2" id="2699511"]What the heck? Are there some forum issues going on? My posts and a couple others have completely disappeared. [/quote] This is a copy thread my friend. Normally I don't make cross section posts but a lot of people who browse here never make it over to the misc section. I should probably just have the two threads merged to avoid confusion.

[quote who="Aesir Rising" reply="10" id="2699603"]On a related note, is it possible to have multiple maps as part of a game, and transition between those maps with game state saved between transitions? The concept is to have a set of maps linked, becoming a tapestry of maps that can be added and connected as needed. An approach familiar to those that have played on or developed multi-server persistent worlds for Neverwinter Nights. [/quote] I was a map maker on a NwN

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="7" id="2699573"] [/quote] Awesome Vid chief :)

[quote who="KillzEmAllGod" reply="2" id="2699506"]nice, going to make a crazy crazy crazy mega large map or the max that doesn't crash. [/quote] The first one I loaded up in the 20's didn't do too well on stability. Perhaps when those memory issues Frogboy mentions are smoothed over, but even on my 6Gigs of memory system it didn't last long. I'm trying a 12x12 right now and it seems fine. For some reason even when I assign the numbers in XML to be 12x12 it comes out to 14x14 in a

Very awesome, my friend. Well done :)

I was lucky enough to catch a few minutes of Frogboy's spare time this morning and he shared some Amazing info on how we can make Custom Map Sizes of ANY SIZE by defining it in XML. Seriously, how many other multinational CEO's do you know that will take the time out of their busy schedule to sit down and chat with a modder? None that I know of!!! Thanks a lot, Frogboy. Again you prove to us all who the best and hardest working CEO in the business really is ;) For all those itching to

[quote who="Raven X" reply="62" id="2699440"] Is that "possible" by or before release Frogster? Any info on map sizes would be awesome and much appreciated. [/quote] Yeap, it is :) I was just informed we can make our own custom map sizes in the XML. Thanks Frogboy :)

[quote who="Bellack" reply="61" id="2699415"] I can't wait to create my Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms maps. [/quote] You can start now if you'd like, my friend. We have the tools. The only thing holding me back from starting the Krynn map for the DL Mod is I'm waiting to see if we get a "Extra Large" map size. Is that "possible" by or before release Frogster? Any info on map sizes would be awesome and much appreciated. :)

I like me some Rage :) Some of their songs anyway. Others are a little too "rap sounding" for my tastes. The only Rap I like is OLD School, 80's stuff. Of course Rage isn't anywhere near classified as Rap, still, some of their songs I don't care for are rappish to my ears. They do have some really killer tunes too though.

Note: This is a copy of a post I made in the Misc. section of the forums. Thought I'd put it here too as a lot of Elelemental peeps don't seem to browse over to that section too often ;) Being entertained while working on a Mod is important. Especially if you're working alone and don't have a team behind you to help keep in high spirits and keep motivation up. I concentrate better when I have some good tunes going in the background. If I have a TV or Movie or something going it tends

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="66" id="2699389"]..... Oh. Im guessing Napoleon is Steam only? Quote: Napoleon is to Empire how Warband is to Mount and Blade [/quote] I don't know, for multi-player, yes it's Steam only. I got up off my ass and bought my copy from a actual store though ;)

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="56" id="2699312"] Knock yourself out. I think it would probably be better if I worked on the actual game though. [/quote] Bah, you got employees for that!!! :P Besides, you're the Master Modder ;). We all know Modding is your Real Passion [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="63" id="2699214"] the only part they didn't use from in-game (I bet) is where the Samurai actually "mounted!" the horses. Like, they went from dismount, to mount. I doubt that kind of stuff is in-game [/quote] Did you play Empire, Tas? There are some units that can mount and dismount in the middle of a battle, like Dragoons, so it's highly possible that's in game.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="17" id="2699279"] (aside from you guys calling each other imbecile, not cool guys). I know It's early in the morning, I haven't mellowed out at work yet. Apologies to MadDeez. [/quote] I don't care what people say, you're an alright dude in my book Annatar ;) (even though we tend to disagree a lot lol)

I plan on spending most of the day doing Mod work today and as such it's important to have a good sound-track to work by. Mostly I'll be doing photoshop work making some custom skins (expect pics in the modding section by the end of the day). Anyway, here's some music (in video form) from some of my favorite bands that I'll be jamming out to today. Enjoy :) Type O Negative: My Girlfriend's Girlfriend (one of the best videos EVER ;) ) <embed width="480" height="367" src="http:/

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="15" id="2699269"] are you a complete imbecile? i read the op and completely understood what he did and didn't do. all i said was making a living to support a family, if he has one, is far more important than playing a game. should i draw a picture to illustrate? No, but apparently you are. It doesn't take a genius to figure out the insinuation from your and LightStar's post that because the OP wrote it he somehow must really "hate his job" b

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="8" id="2698440"] One possible solution......get a job at your bank. [/quote] Better possible solution (for single guys)....start screwing a Hot bank teller ;) . If you ever stop and take a look at the tellers in your bank, if it's anything like mine, they pretty much ONLY hire smokin hot chicks to work there. I've always wondered why that is exactly, but it's really rare to find a ugly bank teller. The same thing is true of a lot o

[quote who="LightStar" reply="1" id="2698337"]If you hate your job because it interferes with your computer gaming needs, you need to rethink your life goals over quite a bit.[/quote] Exactly. If a job is getting in the way of your gaming then Obviously the JOB NEEDS TO GO !!!! P.S. don't listen to LightStar's negative sarcasm, his priorities are all screwed up. Gaming IS LIFE. ;) @ LightStar: :P In all seriousness, for some people (like me
