Gah! How did I miss that command? I need to add that to my common binds. Thanks!

Definitely great stuff! Only problem I had was I couldn't read what Wretch said in his text bubbles. (And that doesn't bode well for me, I was planning on doing that same thing.)

Eeeep! Teleport travel power - activate!

Edit: So it's not so much how many items we get as our creativity in getting them? If I get 50 objects and somebody else gets 60, I can still win if mine are more interesting?

Putting a ton of zombies in RV: bothersom but could be done. Especially if they all appear in one big, flat space.

Fighting them: very very hard. If you include fights, it's probably going ot be better to just go into the game and arrange for the fight. You can always change the NPCs in the fight over to zombies in the demo. (Though the zombies will be fighting with the powers used by the real enemies you fought.) Or you could get get a bunch of friends with higher level Masterminds to pop in and help with the fight. Hopefully they won't mess up the script by defeating your heroes.

Good question Hamenopi. I was assuming you get one point for every item on the list that's on the screen for each of the five pictures. But then the best strategy would be to get as many as possible together then hit the screenshot key five times. That doesn't seem right.

Maybe it's just a matter of checking them off. Once you have a boat you have that one point and further boats won't help you at all. That means the max score is however many search items there are (42?).

Good stuff overall.

Hmmm, so the idea behind the opt-in is that players who opt-out would be annoyed by the advertisements and so would actually be less likely to buy because of them, thus it's better for the business to not stick that advert in his/her face in the first place. Seems reasonable to me. Human psychology often isn't all the reasonable but it's a good starting point.

It's going to make the world feel more alive and more real because there's real advertising.

Uhhh, that would be the PROBlEM Brian! This is the land of Crey Cola, not Coke. It fits better here than in World of Warcraft or even Eve but it's still odd to see. (Suddenly I'm getting visions of that old "I'd like to give the world a Coke, and keep it company" song/advertisement getting half way through when suddenly half a dozen Paragon Protectors barge in and blast everyone.)

But hey, I can opt out. Good stuff. I just hope you don't do bad things to the cool stuff I've got in my Data directory already. Or my demos. Gonna have to wait and see how you impliment this before we know how those turn out, I suppose.

Dang it, that's not Dr. Leo! That's some nice lady! I can't go tortur...ummm.... including her in one of my demos!

Yeah, it's a VERY large list. Those two you posted cover male and female hair. One down, 25 to go. (I think huge males have the same as males, at least.) Some are effects, too, not textures (capes, auras, custom weapons). Then that Sexy J guy keeps making more of them!

So far, though, it doesn't look like costumes have altered at all. They have added things but, once they are added, they are set in stone. My blaster's bald head was "Bald skin_bald_01a skin_bald_01b" and is still that today.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm holding my screenshots until the final day. It's not the shot I'm worried about someone stealing, it's the ideas!

[ QUOTE ]
So.....is demo-editting against the rules?

[/ QUOTE ]
It has to be, or I'm going to get over 90% of those in every single screenshot.

Edit: What is a "Polarized" PPD? Also, is a GM a Giant Monster or an NCSoft Game Master? Or either one? Actually, I think it better be a Monster to avoid people doing /petitions to get screenshots.

Edit2: Things put in via modding probably shouldn't count, either, or I could just replace billboards with checkered flags, trees, a mezzed Blue Steel, and so on.

No inorganic additives? Water is inorganic - no carbon in it at all. So it's just straight up tea grounds? Oh my.

<smirk>

Interesting. Maybe you should show us a little example - like how the hair is defined in Dr. Leo's own costume definition?

Link is broken - leads to some nice, hand drawn art instead of a Rick video.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope this is an April Fool's joke. Because if not, this kind of negates everything else for me.

I like my sounds!!!

Booooo

[/ QUOTE ]
The chances of it being an April Fools joke are... ummm... mighty mighty MIGHTY high. Their research indicates that many people building new computers tend to forget to include sound??? Video yes (fargin 6150 not-cards) but sound? And how would this look on a team of 8 against over a dozen enemies? And why is LIghthouse posting this in the wee hours of the morning? (A bit after Midnight in Hawaii, I suspect)

If this was real, I'd want them to have my pulse rifle go: PEW-PEW-PEW.

We have GOT to make these user-defined! My full auto power is going to go "ikky ikky ikky peh-TANG!"

They didn't go themselves! They hired a field expert.

I can see it!!! Definitely a lot more interesting when it's not just a black square with a broken Q icon in the center.

With the Power Information...will there be a way to view this info outside of character creation or levelling up? Possibly more detailed information on your Enhancement Screen or with the hover over on your Powers tab?

[/ QUOTE ]

The detailed power info will be available in the power selection screen, level up screen, respec screens, enhancement screen, and as another tab on the info window for powers.

[/ QUOTE ]
With the slider to see how it scales with level? ZOMG! The coolness... it's... it's too much! I think I need to have a little lie down for awhile.....

Wow, nice work getting the new powersets in that fast!

So is that where the big complaint lies?

[/ QUOTE ]yes

[/ QUOTE ]
I was pretty confused, too. Storm sounds great for Mastermind to me. Dang pets always seem to run away just when I'm doing an AoE heal - being able to pick out the pet to heal will be a big help. And that lightning cloud is one heck of a pet, too. Oh jeez! Are corruptor lightning clouds going to get scourge damage?? Nasty.

Anyway, if you're going to complain, it would be smart to say what you are complaining about. Maybe the devs "should already know" and maybe not, but I sure don't know so when I read posts saying the devs 'obviously' hate villains, it comes across as being VERY crybaby.

And it was FUN! I pumped a lot of quarters into that one.

The shots are actually up on the w00tstudios website (http://www.w00tstudios.net/) in the Files area. So is CoH Splasher, for that matter. The old Atari "Star Raiders" game is lurking in there, too, but didn't appear in this screenshot.

Leandro has a new edition of the CoH Splasher out! Time for another round of funky screenshots like this!

I tried messing with that video encoder a few months back, figuring I could stick it into the Demo Launcher or something. Yuck. It might be good for recording demos of how you use Word or Autocad but it was getting under one frame per second in City of Heroes.

FRAPS is a good one (and very handy for taking screenshots in games that don't make screenshots easy) but you'll have to pay for it if you want really good recordings. I think I'll be using http://www.wegame.com to do mine.

Demorecord is a completely different animal. There's lots of info on ParagonWiki about them.

To get rid of windows, just go up to the health bar and menu window (the status window) and turn things off except for the chat window and, of course, the status window itself. Now go down to the chat window and do a "/window_hide status". Poof, the status window is gone. Then press the C key to hide your chat window. To bring things back, press the C key again to bring your chat window back, do a "/show status" to bring back the status window, then use that to bring everything else back. (Or you can press \ to bring the menu back if you forget how to bring your chat window back.)

If you're worried, make a new character somewhere and test it out. It's what I did.

VERY nice camerawork there, Velvet!

As long as you're done on April Fool's day. Gotta post then. Preferably about the Moon Base zone.

Errrr, dunno if that belongs here either, but it sure is funny!
