NetMinder

And FWIW, next weeks TFT (9pm CDT) is in the middle of TT (8pm CDT Tanker Tuesday). No TF Awesome on Psyche.

Oh good, I was hoping you would spot that.

Simply renaming the pack to something less flammable would help alot. Even in the preliminary phase of gathering support.

(FWIW, two of my toons are very much anthro, I even made a halloween costume from one. So Im all for some extra anthro options. It would just be a shame to see it deep-6'ed because of poor marketing/naming.)

i'm not referong to that specifically. i would like an option that gives claw feet that look normal just like on any werewolf from the old movies. the clawed feet they have now look kind of silly when tryin to achieve that.

Thats cause the only "monsterous" form is digitigrade. It would be nice to have a plantigrade model with the monsterous-digitigrade options (claws etc). That should be a simple texture graft on to the normal model.

So you agree NetMinder you just want for tails rather than other stuff... I agree i just didn't list it so :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really. Well maybe.

I just dont want Paragon City any "furry-ier" that it already is. And before this turns into a flamefest, Im not bashing furries (that hard), but I could see dev time and effort being put into things that would have a greater appeal to the masses. Most people are pretty galvanized on the issue (love vs. hate) and this would just cause contention.

i'd like animal leg's that didn't bend backwords to. it is so hard to make a werewolf with backwards knees look right.

[/ QUOTE ]

The knee is fine on the anthro model, what are refering to is the long ankle joint. Which is proper for the digitigrade stance. If you have a dog, have him/her/it stand on thier hind legs.. look at how long the foot is with them really just standing on thier toes. Human walking has us walking on our entire foot, not just the toes.
(digitigrade - toe walker, plantigrade - foot walker)

No.

Wait, let me think about it for a.... no.

But if it were... no.

Head pieces aside, all the fur and scales in the world would pale compared to getting some decent tails. The generic cat tail is ok, but we would need tail feathers, a decent canine tail, perhaps some physics on the tails so the arent static polygons (if capes can react to movement, so can tails).

Glad I decided to not take the afternoon off and play.

Oh well, might get a few TFs in tonight before I head out for the holidays.

Depending on your budget, those are both solid picks considering you arent shooting for the starts for performance. You can always go higher, but given the age of the machine and CPU, too much more and youll be getting throttled by the CPU bandwidth vs the GPU bandwidth.

I call red shirt duty!

Come to think of it, my Mind/Rad controller, Strikeout, is still in the old Atlas Heroes SG uniform. It wasnt that bad of a look.

Pretty much. Given the age of the machine, I can't say for certain if you are AGP or PCI-E or PCI bus for video card slots.
PCI-E is the "current" and best.
AGP is older and performs less, but acceptable.
PCI is ancient and has low performance and might not even work.

According to the spec sheet for the Salmon ASUS board, you have an AGP8x slot.

That would be my recommendation. Its about as good as youll find under $100 for AGP given its performance.

Video Device Name: SiS 760
Manufacturer / Chip: SiS / SiS 760 Rev 00
Video Memory: 128.0 MB

There's your problem. Its integrated video chipset, not a full up card. You need better hardware to play modern 3D games.

Run Master of LRSF then. No nukes or shivs allowed. =)

And its not like you cant sneak around to get a Shiv or a nuke anyways. Its not that hard to do, just do it quietly and dont announce yourself. Going on /hide helps too.

Team Awesome-
Strikeout
Boots
Death-Mark
Kelthas the Dead

Our lone blaster blaster took some exception when I noted that we were largly ST only and the kill alls were going slow. =P

Another crushingly fast TF everyone. 1h41m
Bravo.

If I can get dinner done and cleaned up in time, Ill lead up Task Force Awesome again tonight. No mindless Vahz to mess with my Psi damage, just vulnerable Clocks. Woo hoo.

The blood bath reset me to 644, and then I went and got a dozen arena badges to get back to 656. =)

Because Bots/Dark isnt awesome enough... with BotZ, Blood Mandate, CJ, CoD, etc.. I can run 44.8% Ranged and 42.6% AoE as a MM. Thats without summoning Fluffy or my bots for maor +Def. Really its just too awesome for 3 slots..... but in the mean time Im gonna keep soloing GMs with my MM.

Sorry, but the "Play another server" argument is lame. My friends, my wife and my SG all play on Freedom. I left Triumph a few years ago because getting teams was difficult. I have no desire to play on a low-pop server, thanks very much. Thousands of others feel the same way, apparently, so we are not all wrong.


[/ QUOTE ]

You sirs, win the interwebz. Allow me to translate that one:
"I play on a high population server intentionally, then whine when it fills up."

By your own admission, you have played either servers, and while they are lower population, and your arguement was to play with your wife, I dont see why the largest pop server is so important.

sweet, its nice to see someone else "high" on the avoident list.

and i thought it was just me.. oh, wait.. i think paranoid needs to be kicked up a notch now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just because you aren't paranoid, it doesn't mean that they still aren't out to get you.

And really, it's never a question of, "Are you paranoid or not?", but rather, "Are you paranoid enough?".

And FYI, Castle posted its a bug. No PvP IOs are dropping anywhere right now.

Pocket D club/dance area has a teleport supression field. The power will still fire off, but the effect is supressed. You have to be outside the club (down the elevators) to use Mission Teleporter in Pocket D.

The weapon models are effects, not polygonal additions.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't know how you came to that conclusion, since it's not true.

[/ QUOTE ]

O rly?

The weapons are just effects. Yes they are technically made of polygons, but they exist no more than flaming hands do. You cannot drop your weapon.

Sledge Hammer WEAPONS/Custom_Mace/Male_Mace_Sledgehammer01.fx

It is an effect drawn on top of your character model, not an independant object added to game.

You can get really good PSUs for around $100.

And be sure to check the specs. Ive seen 650W PSUs with horrible ratings on the 5V and 12V rails.

here is a sweet deal on an Enermax 525W

$60 after mail in rebate.

And a 620W for $100 after rebate

Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Low

Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

So im a narcissistic, antisocial, schizoid.

Oddly the only of the 6 for narcissistic I show is complete lack of empathy. Which isnt really true, I do have empathy (I can sence others feelings and pain). I just dont care. Which shows up in Anti-social (Disregard for the feelings of others).
Schizoid.... ok, well only 2 in there...
Only moderate OCD, but 5 of the 6 traits in there I relate to.

Im not placing too much wieght in this test.

The lack of an anchor point is a curse and boon all in 1.
Boon: By using a simple model with scaled polygons over top (instead of scaling the model), the math done is much simplier and save cycles for eye candy.
Curse: As mentioned above, there are no hardpoints on the outside of the model by default.

Note: The weapon models are effects, not polygonal additions. Weapons are not "droppable". If we were to get scabbards or holsters that were actual pieces added to the model, not ad hoc additions, that would open a whole new level of effects and animiations. None of this would be easy to do and would require some serious low level engine grinding. Might be easier to drop a new engine in vs modding the current one.
