not specifically. I'm combining 3-4 tricks I've learned from different tutorials. I can type one up though. I got some time to kill.

Ether, I donno why but I have this image of Sigmund Frued sitting there saying "Hmmm, That's very interesting" right after the person on the couch just said "I'm serial rapist of children"

oh how I wish I could believe THAT was true my dear. Sadly, I've worked IT support, and Retail long enough to know that while someone would have to go well and truely totally out of their way to accomplish a mistake like that..... they can and probably did.

That sounds like my father. He'll come in, commandeer the television, spend about sixty seconds of flipping through channels (half of which would be in the middle of commercials) then toss the remote at the sofa and declare "There's nothing worth watching on TV"

No, the good arcs aren't going to drop in your lap. You have to look for them, just like you look for stuff on line or movies on TV. Try checking out some of the ARC review threads on the forums.

here's a couple I found in about 5 minutes of searching:

There's the MA Arc Finder global channel in game and most of the servers have a global channel for MA arcs as well.

or gawd forbid you check out the Mission Architect: Stories & Lore forum

maybe, but my money is on someone didn't bother double checking their work.

all of the moves in that video were hard coded through one means or another. I used 2 main methods to code them. I'll lay them out below:

Method 1:
Belshor's Demo Edit as several wizards that automate certain things. One of them is known as an interpolation wizard. For the Revolving dolly that ends with a focus on imperious you would use the wizards in linear mode. It's pretty easy. Supply the start and end pos and pyr for the CAM and the PLAYER. The wizard will generate a new demo with only that info. You then just import the demo commands into the demo your working with.

Method 2: The Spread sheet
I've found this method useful when I want to change pyr separate from the pos or vise versa. Take your starting data ( for example purposes I'll use POS 100 100 100) and your ending data (Example: POS 110 110 110) and figure out how long you (IE How many camera movement changes you wants, the more changes the smoother the move).

Put the start at the top of the spread sheet, and insert the number of rows as changes you intend to have. Then determine the first change and let the spread sheet fill in the rest.
Example: 100 CAM POS 100 100 100
10 CAM POS 101 101 101
10 CAM POS 102 102 102
10 CAM POS 103 103 104
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You get the idea.

In the cimerora video I used both of this tricks.

hmm.... anyone think my doing a demo guide would be a good idea?

not opposed to the swapping sides idea, but how does that justify raising the level cap?

When I did this on my willpower brute, I ran a CoT mission, found a mob with a Behemoth Lt in it, killed all the minions then taunted the Behemoth to come at me. popped 3 lucks, slipped into rest, made sure the Behemoth was beating on me, then started making jokes about how my brute had become a masochist. Then later I went out to the movies.

if you read the GR website (specifically Desdemona's profile) You'll see that Desdemona's mother was killed in an altercation involving Statesman. Even thought State's wasn't the one the one who killed her mother, Desdemona grew up hating him until he saved her. So now she's questioning her entire life. It goes to the entire theme of Going Rogue, what is good and right, and what is wrong and evil.

I've been hearing this argument for years. Everything I have ever heard a dev say (and I am only referring to actual statements that I have personal read that were posted by the dev/red name or came from interviews with a developer) amounts to the game was designed from day one to have a level cap of fifty. That has always been the plan and that is what it has been built around. I've read probably a dozen different reasons why people think the cap should be raised, most of them ammounting to "So I can put X slots in Y power".

I gotta be honest, I think the game does an admirable job of keep the world "real" in regaurd to levels. Think of it like the military. You start out in Boot camp. For those 6-8 weeks you're in boot, all you know is boot camp. Then you graduate and go into training. And for the next 10 weeks all you know is what revolves around your training. Then you finish your training and you get deployed. And for 6 months+ all you know if where you're deployed. Then after that things start changing. You may be called on to do a 6 week recruiting gig, so low and behold you have to go back to where it all started. But it's not the same as when you started. Then later on you get promoted and are now in command. You may be in the same place you were when you were a in training, but it's not the same. Even if you become a general, chances are you'll be back where you started at some point for something. Basically here's what my view: 50 is about has powerful as we can be because that's the world is right now. The only way I will accept a level cap raise is if the world changes with it. Ya know, like the Shadow Sharde implodes on itself and Rularuu escapes back to earth or something like that.
