BurningNightmare

Simple solution: They could have a warning that you would need to log out for the pack to take effect upon purchase. Don't see where that could be a problem, unless it's more of a technical issue or something.

So, with the release of yet another booster, I feel I should bring this up again:

Is it really so hard to have the booster packs available in the ingame store on the character screen like the server transfers, character slots, and the like? If anything, it'd make buying them more convenient.

And I honestly don't see any reason why they shouldn't. It likely wouldn't be difficult to put them there, and it's not like it would be exploitable since they'd still be costing you money. Only thing I could think of that would make this idea even the slightest bit BAD would be if some one had their account stolen and the thief charged all the boosters to their credit card (Although honestly, if some one were a big enough [censored] to do that, they'd probably realise 5 character slots are more expensive than the booster packs).

So, for the sake of giving the devs more money in an easier way... Can we please have the booster packs available to buy on the character select screen?

So, we've got juggling emotes now. Can we get a chainsaw juggling emote too?

Ok, so recently I've been playing around with (And loving) the MA. One of my favourite parts so far is the critter creation tools. Now, I got to thinking... We have regular old costume contests... But what about a contest for creating the best enemy group? Well, that's exactly what this thread is. Now, lemme go over a few rules.

Each week, I'll post a theme for a group. This theme can range from enemy groups of a specific origin (Natural, Magic, Science, ect), or alternate dimensional versions of ingame groups (Like what would praetorian Hellions be like?). Really, the theme could be anything.

The minimum amount of enemies for each group would be as follows:
1 Minion
1 Lieutenant
1 Boss
1 EB/AV
Seeing as this is only the minimum, you can of course add as many enemies to that as you see fit. Of course, for some themes, this minimum may not apply (Such as, say, the theme being to create an all minion group).

Entries will be judged on look, descriptions, and originality, so with that in mind, please provide screenshots of the enemies, aswell as posting their individual descriptions.

As for a prize... Well, for now, there isn't one (Other than bragging rights ), but if this thing gets popular enough, I'll see if I can come up with something worth the effort

So, assuming people show SOME interest, lets go with the first theme being...

Pirates!

Now, they can either be your typical sea faring swash buckler pirates, space pirates, or a whole knew kind of pirate all together.

Now, with that out of the way, let the games begin, and all that!

You must love your job

Awesome work, as usual

While I've got no advice on the cosplay or working out thing, I DO have some one you can practice your Anime arts on

That is, if you don't mind doing up Starr Cannon twice

I gotta say, every piece so far has been awesome. I'm surprised to see art this good being done for free

Though, would it at all be too late to change my mind on who I want mine to be of? If it isn't... Then could I get one done up of Starr Cannon, my Elec/Energy Brute instead? 'Cause that'd be awesome

Only thing I feel I should point out is that in the costume with the exposed belly, there's a small tattoo of a star around her belly button.

For the scenario thingie you asked about waaaay back at some point I forgot, just come up with some kinda cute pose or whatever and leave it at that

> Beat up Hellion with the lady's purse.

That picture just made my day.

Agreed, so far these are looking just plain awesome!

Would love to see what you consider to be 'perfect'

Well, since I gave three choices for characters for you to do, gotta come up with a scenario for each one now :P

For Whirlwind, I'd say have her facing of against Scirocco (did i spell that right?) and/or a couple Mu.

Jess, I'd say could be either fighting a crap load of Outcasts, or just hanging out in Pocket D.

Emote... I've got no idea what to do for him. Probably just have him in the process of doing something totally crazy.

> Chase activist and steal his pen

Hope i'm not too late (probably am, but meh, i'll take my chances), but i wouldn't mind seeing something done of one of these:
Whirlwind J
Emote-Icon
Jess Arctique

Not gunna make you do all of'em, just one. take your pick which (For some further referance, Whirlwind is a Broadsword/Willpower scrapper, Emote is a Fire/Psy dominator, and Jess is an energy/invuln/mu brute. feel free to add any stuff involving that if you want)

> Get ye flask

Considering most of the game takes place blue side, really all I need are hero enemies in that range (Sorry if I wasn't clear about that earlier.) But I'm patient and understand this could take awhile, so take as long as you need.

Since I'm only just getting started on the thing, I basically need some shots of various low level enemies, such as Hellions, Skulls, Clockwork, anything you might find from, say, levels one through ten. I'll make sure to let you know if/when I'll be needing more than that

EDIT: Oh, and about the outline, it would be great if you could get rid of it, but if removing it causes any problems, I can understand fully if it stays.

so... something like the following? here's a shot of Anti-Matter

original .jpg with background

.png with white background - best I can do with the program atm, I suck on editing images. but this is what yer going for?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually. that worked out pretty dang well! Gunna upload it into the program real quick as a test to see if the transparency works out right.

EDIT: Works PERFECT! Thanks!

I'd say best bet would be .PNG if possible (It's what I usually save pictures as, and that seems to work.). And just incase I didn't repeat it enough in the first post that, muchos gracias

Use Leandro's SPLASHER program to 'change' the texture and color of your base to all white. If you do a search on how to 'green screen' here on the forums (in the Multi-Media section, if memory serves), you can use that to go for white instead.


[/ QUOTE ]

The problem with that idea would be I need screenshots of NPCs. You know, Hellions, Arachnos, Nemesis, Minions, Bosses, AVs, and all that sorta stuff. It'd be near impossible to get an NPC in my base without demo editing, which I said in my original post I can't do

And as for the program, all I really need is the pictures themselves, getting them into the game and such is something I've done previously with some 'test' images off of paragonwiki (the ones that didn't work due to being .jpgs)

Check out Paragon Wiki. It has what you seek.

I've tried Paragonwiki, but not all the NPCs have white backgrounds, and the ones that do won't seem to go transparent due to being saved as Jpgs

I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me out abit with a little project I'm working on. See, I found a little game making program and due to a lack of a good idea for my own off the top of my head, I decided I'd use it to make a sort of CoX fan game sorta thing.

Now, what I need help with, exactly, is some pictures of different NPCs from the game. Basically just regular old screenshots of them just idle or in combat, BUT, the hard part is I need them to be JUST the NPC, with just a plain old white backround behind them that can be made transparent. I'm sure that could some how be done with demo recording/editing, but I'm a total noob at that sorta stuff, so I figured I'd come ask for some help with this on the forums

Basically I just need any kinds of NPCs you can think of. Heroes, AVs, Baddies, Contacts, Ect Ect. HUGE thanks in advance to anyone that decides to help me out with this If I can, I'll see if I can give some kind of "pay" for this (Currently super poor ingame right now, and not exactly the kinda person to give out money to strangers over the internet).

Once again, muchos gracias in advance. Any and all help is fully appreciated

Those are awesome! And since I forgot to say it earlier, massive gratz to your gramps! 98 IS a pretty big number, after all.

Would love to see something done of Jess, my EM/invuln brute. Either costume's fine, up to you which one, if you decide to give her a try

Backstory:
Eh, her backstory isn't exactly too fleshed out at the moment, but basically she was born already a mutant with some minor super strength and energy manipulation. She then became addicted to dyne when some one slipped it in her drink in pocket D. Somehow, the dyne never effected her brain, so she's still quite intelligent. The wings are kinda just... there.
