I'll be on the Test server for any TF but Imperious. Can't do an ITF because the third mission with all the mobs lags me a lot and disconnects me. I like the LGTF a lot so that'd be my choice, but any of them is fine; the Mender Silos TF is short, has a great final mission, and people don't run it enough on Live because of the "no recipe reward" thing.

I'm game for a Lady Grey TF, the ITF lags me like crazy and disconnects me constantly on the third mission.

For anyone still interested, the "neighborhood pulse wall" (that's what the blue forcefield is called) is stored in this path:

city of heroes\data\texture_library\WORLD\walls\nbrhood_pu lse_wall.texture

I'll include that in the next Splasher build so you can replace it with a transparent texture. I can email anyone who wants it a transparent texture to put there, just PM me.

Okay. Now that was awesome, DR. *bows*

Here's a bunch of Arachnos objects... computers, machinery, weapon racks, just a bunch o' junk. I confirmed they all play back as NPCs.

So Issue 13 is going to introduce a new mini-game! Lawn chess! Or maybe bases will be able to have huge chess boards and people with base edit rights can play while everyone else watches.....

[/ QUOTE ]

While that is a great idea, I don't think those pieces are i13-new. Let me find an older copy of the game in my backups and I'll confirm.

Edit: Just confirmed that those pieces have been in game as far back as December 2006. That's Issue 8. They've probably been there even longer than that.

Having said that, maybe we should rally to have them as base items in i13 or i14...

I didn't see any of those in the Codex, so I wanted to share. They work in the "NPC" line.

bush_sml1 - a small bush
ovaltree_squash1 - a tree
seagull, flyaway_seagull - a seagull just standing there.
Seagulls_Flock - a bunch of seagulls flying
OO_Ancient_Abacus - yes, an abacus.
OO_Ancient_Chariot - parked chariot.
OO_Ancient_Pitcher - the container, not an ancient baseball player.
OO_Ancient_Tablet_01, OO_Ancient_Tablet_02, OO_Ancient_Tablet_03 - Cimeroran podium-like stone tablets.
OO_Ancient_Urn_Lrg, OO_Ancient_Urn_Med - Cimeroran urns.
V_OO_Seraphina_Crystal_01 - Crystal of Seraphina
V_OO_Seraphina_Shard_01 - Floating shards of pink crytal.
V_Organelle_Cage - Hamidon mito in a cage.
Rikti_Computer_Pod, Rikti_Computer_Table, Rikti_Computer_Terminal, Rikti_Computer_Terminal_Wall - Rikti computers.
Rikti_Spire01, Rikti_Spire02, Rikti_Spire03 - Rikti spires.

And my favorite find:

ChessBishop, ChessKing, ChessKnight, ChessPawn, ChessQueen, ChessRook - no, I am not kidding.

So I got a question because I really don't feel like digging through this thread. What are we allowed to use in terms of music?

[/ QUOTE ]

In-game music only. See Ex Libris' post with the FTP full of it.

Well, a ton of pretty negative comments on mine. They hit Amanda's voice harder than I hoped. Well, too late now to redo anything.

[ QUOTE ]
I think it may be a while before I tackle my next CoX video....this is like....a lot of work.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm done messing with the voice track of Donuts, it still kind of sucks but I don't want to delay it any more.

So I began work in Making "Donuts", the documentary of how it all happened! Hear Fusionette screw up her lines over and over again, mainly, but also interviews with all the actors that made it possible, such as Lee T. Gamir, who was the body double for Statesman!

OK, the version with Amanda's voiceover finished uploading:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMkhjQlja6Q

Video is horrible quality, so if you want to take a better look at the video use the previous link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB2tJO_Doaw

I'll try to get Amanda to re-record most of it tonight. Again. Argh!

[ QUOTE ]
OMG - Leo! Get that thing finished, friend!

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm trying! The video part has been done for a week already... It's the voiceover that's killing me.

[ QUOTE ]
VERY NICE BTW LEANDRO

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks!

I'm *still* working on the voice track for my video. Everything else is done. If someone wants to give some feedback, this version has no voice at all:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB2tJO_Doaw

I'm uploading a version with the current voice track right now. YouTube is *really* screwing up the sound though, looks like they added a hard limiter filter with *way* too much gain.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm wondering if all video makers have as much self doubt as this lot does.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have any doubts about my video making skills. I'm certain that mine is going to suck

This worked for me:

And one final file for those who want to hear what I'm dealing with: the way Fusionette says "You never know when some crazy mage is going to release a giant demon into the streets!": FusionetteTake147.mp3

Near the end I told her "concentrate, woman!" and that lead into an extra bit. I'm wondering if I should submit the video using just subtitles...

And here's what happened during the attempt to get an evil maniacal laughter out of her: FusionetteTake216.mp3

My head, it hurts from banging it against the desk... I can't find the part on the sound files where I asked her, "I thought you WANTED to do this voiceover thing?!" and she replied "Well, but now we're learning I would suck at it."

[ QUOTE ]
Sounds like you're dealing with a kid? My sympathies if that is the case...

[/ QUOTE ]

A kid? She's 24. But, well, here you have an example of the things she's been doing: FusionetteTake77.mp3

(Her "no" is a reply to me on the headset, "Do you find that so freaking funny?")

[ QUOTE ]
How's it goin, folks?

[/ QUOTE ]

My voice actress sucks. She keeps on laughing at her lines, and even started singing a Hannah Montana song when I asked her to do an evil maniacal laughter!

To all the negative doomcryers: This move is pure win for people who PvP or play characters in the test server. Now you CAN copy a respec-less character to Test and mess around all your powers without having to hunt down a respec recipe, and only after deciding if you like the new build spend the influence/infamy/cash for a respec recipe on Live. Quityerwhining.

Puddle didn't work, but what DID work was making a dummy costume -- all 27 lines being "PARTSNAME none none none". Here's an screenshot, though being static takes away a lot of the fun: http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../donutrain.jpg

[ QUOTE ]
That's a new one by me... hmmmm... I wonder if you can use the Puddle NPC to do emotes and then you'd see a donut appearing in midair... then just make it move...

[/ QUOTE ]

The Puddle NPC didn't work. Oh well.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm afraid to speculate on Leandro's video now.

*hiss* Don't be afraid, my preciousss... I'll protect the donutsss... the donutsss are all that mattersss... all that mattersss, my preciousss...

Small ones preferably. I'm specifically trying to make rain donuts.

Shouldn't this thread be, like, unstickied by now?

(And if I had a camera I'd show pictures of my swag, alas, it broke a while ago and I've been lazy about buying a new one.)

I'm trying to get a donut to appear on my demo. That is, just the donut, not being used as part of an emote. Anyone knows if there's any way to do this? I'm making a donut-themed demo (sample screenshot) and being able to actually show a donut in there without photoshopping one in would help.

Is anyone else using different voice actors (or other voice actors other than yourself to be specific), so that all the voices don't sound the same?

You could use a sound editing program to raise or lower the pitch of your own voice so they sound different but still natural. I use Cool Edit Pro for that (it was bought by Adobe and renamed Adobe Audition a few years ago but I still use the old version to avoid software bloat)
