Your Forum Handle: MetaFusion
Your Global: @MetaFusion
The Character who will be doing the tour: MetaFusion
The name of your SuperGroup: The Heirs of Talos
Your Home Server: Justice
A brief description of your base: The Heirs' base is thematic by room with an emphasis on livability and believability (not realism, that has no place here!)
There's nothing like a live tour, but if you wish a preview, pictures of the Heirs of Talos super group base are here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...postcount=1420
There is also a video tour (720p HD with music): http://youtu.be/MyYNCrjCSUU?hd=1

The Heirs of Talos have a suspended DJ booth in Pocket T, the night club in our base. You can see it in our video tour, at about 7 minutes in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyYNC...=youtu.be&hd=1
Hope this is of some use to you.

Hello one and all!

Minimal effort? It's not a question of effort. They intentionally, deliberately changed the capacity of the storage racks. Changing it back would be virtually effortless, since the higher capability was already implemented.
They CHOOSE not to make that change.

After they went to the trouble of changing the code of the Salvage bins from "2500" to "30" back in Issue 13? Not likely we'll ever see that change after 4 years.

With this game getting up there in years...and eventually winding down, you would think they would throw us a bone and simply just increase our salvage racks storage capacity. Just another quality of life freebie before we close the book on this awesome game.

I made the speaker behind glass just so I could make a path getting to it hidden
Thats really the only reason.

When it gets to be a bit more on the 'finished' side, I'd absolutely love to give you a tour
Though I suppose I should just upload some screen shots huh? :-P
Gimmie a bit and I'll show you what I've got so far.

Quote:I wouldn't. My SG stores well over 1200 Enhancements and Inspirations already; we'd lose a lot on that proposition. If they'd just change a "3" to a "10" in their code and make it 100/Salvage, that tiny effort would do just fine.Originally Posted by Redlynne
18 * 100 = 1800 items in Enhancement/Inspiration storage
18 * 30 = 540 items in Salvage storage
I'd be perfectly fine with them giving us a max of 12 storage items (Enhancement, Inspiration, Salvage and Vault) that each held 100 items (with the exception of the Vault, of course).

Glad to be of help. If you're open to it, I'd enjoy taking a tour of your base.

I have used the large floor lamp with what I think are decent results. All bar chairs in our SG's club, Pocket T, are supposed to be hydraulically adjustable, so the single-post leg of the chair really suits our establishment. Perhaps it would suit yours as well. I made a point of having several of the "stools" at a slight angle to suggest swivilability (is that a word?), and they look a lot more bar-stool-ish as a result, so you may want to try that if/when you evaluate the floor lamps as an option.

Very, very cool idea and good execution. The room has a great feel to it. Makes sense that the VIP area is behind glass, but I am wondering, any reason the speaker at the podium would be behind glass?
Great job, especially in so short a time, given the clunky editor!

Quote:Have you tried the flat white modern frame? I used that to make a movie screen and it resulted in a pretty uniform white surface.Originally Posted by pixelforge
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck building a green screen room in base so members can pose for photos and I can drop a background behind them easily. I tried, but was unable to find any simple color only floor or wall textures. I thought someone more creative than I may have come up with a way to do it with objects.

Quote:I use FRAPS, works great. For video editing, I just use the Windows Live program, its easy to use and has all the effects you need if you don't want to get too fancy. There is a lot of free music for use out there if you want a soundtrack, usually it just requires attribution. If you'd like a site or two for that, drop me a PM.Originally Posted by Exuro Protector
Thanks for the replies. Hyperstrike, I will catch you on the server at some point. Meta, what do you use for your video capture? Thanks.

Quote:How about screen caps, or even better--a video tour?Originally Posted by Exuro Protector
I apologize if there is another thread for this but couldn't find one through my searches. I am a single player SG on Protector and enjoy base building but haven't really received much feedback on my base since no one ever sees it. Wondering if anyone would be willing to take a tour of it and provide some feedback. Feel free to get in touch with me, global @Exuro. Thanks in advance

I love watching video tours of bases! Do you, too? If so, check out a channel I created on youtube that links to all the videos I could find on the site featuring tours of CoX bases. Over 50 base tours!

If I missed any, let me know. If you post a new one, let me know! And if you know anyone who likes bases, let them know!

I am looking for some inspiration on a concept I have for my moon base. Was seeing if anyone has built an elevator before or could put something together?

Quote:Yeah, desks sure add up (floors are high on my base "wish" list)! Depends what you're doing, though. In the case at hand, lights are being used not just for stairs but also for walkways. Really quick way to run up an item count. But as I said, fortunately its a smallish plot anyways.Originally Posted by Mystic_Fortune
While this might be true, it's no more a hindrance on the item count than using a lot of desks as a second -floor- for multiple rooms.

Very sleek walkway, nice design!
@MetaFusion

Off to an interesting start! Do you plan to use lights as stairs throughout the base? If so, good thing you aren't using too big a plot. I found that lights can really drive up the item count fast!
