Quote:I have to say that room was a challenge. a couple things that you may not have noticed is the center pylon there was just a bit off center to give a little more space when you zone in. Start each corner of the pylon on the bottom most floor so by the time it hits the ceiling it flat against it. i also dident fill the pylon in so that i had a clear view making the stairs. With the pylon being off center the desks will not go directly up against the wall on 2 sides, thats why i used the blue cabinets to fill the gap. You will want to add those last so you can see what you are doing. if you have any other questions about the method to my madness please let me know. Oh and one more thing use the basic counters not the one with all the draws if you want to sink the round desks into them and have them show. the counters with draws makes the sunken desk flicker.Originally Posted by SupaFreak
Stacker... I gotta say I want your base entry design in my base. Trying to replicate it when I get free time and patience. And thinking I'm gonna try something similar with our "vault".
Really enjoyed what you designed. -

Entrance. this is a big staircase that brings you into the vault.
For the items on lock down they needed to be secure as they are the weapons or personal items of famed Heroes/Villains
I have to say this was a load of fun and hard with the 300k cap. I had so many ideas I wanted to use but it would have put me over the cap. Thanks to the PERC for a awesome event. -
and don't forget repel ball...what good times

I would like to thank all of you that have inspired me over the many years of building and designing bases. Bases were my love of this game for many years, but over the last year and a half of waiting for anything to happen I have just unsubscribed my account of 78 months. Seeing all of the wonderful things people have done with bases and to see how I have inspired others to create amazing bases. All the feed back on the You Tube stacking videos has been more than I ever hoped for. From all the countless hours in the base editor and all the base tours I have enjoyed every second of my time playing this game. I will look in time to time to see if anything happens with bases but for now im off to do other things.
Thanks again and Happing building,

This happens in all bases with these items, the only way they come back to life is to move them or let let the power go out pay the bill to restore power and they will come back.....I have been asking about this for 3 years as well. The offical answer of posting it here is because its the one place they never look or care to look...hell i dont even think the fourm mods even look in here for the fear they might have to tell someone higher up that the base community has their torches and pich forks and are marching to paragon studios.

sorry some how it double posted

So the Ustream cast today was cool with lots of good questions and answers, but I couldnt help but notice all the base questions were completely over looked and no comments at all except for they noted when someone asked about recipe storage in bases. Thats it nothing more or less. I was on it for about 4 hours asking all kinds of base questions and I got nothing. im guessing this means one of two things. 1. bases are dead to them and there is no hope in sight for us, or 2. Something is coming soon and they are very tight lipped. I guess we will wait some more and see.

check out the link in my sig to the stacking videos i made...

the esc key will deslect a item...its handy if you click and grab a wrong item.

So I actually started to play coh again .not building just killing things. You know its been a while when you forget how to get around and what area is connected to what, so I fall on the good old base TP and I kind of got to see my base in a different angle. No this is not a post about what bases should be or what they need to be, I literally was looking at my base in a different angle. So I went and snapped some pics of the base in different angles that I hadnt taken before. Hope you enjoy.
the base entrance TP room and rember double doorways
The room that broke my base for good....the devs asked that i dont put anything else in this base.
New bowling alley old prison and the Movie theater
And the stage theater
Oh and if anyone has seen this room please let me know what base it is in so i can get a toon back in the sg to finish it.
anyway thats just some stuff that can be done with the bug that is the base editor. Now back to killing stuff. -
What ever I can do to help, I am willing to give whatever spare time that I have. I have broken all kinds of bases so I know the limits of them. Making new lists the bunny is correct, we have made what if lists for years now and we are at the point where we are repeating our self’s. As someone with bases and the community in mind all I want is to see some kind of attention to bases, and for people that say bases are but a small part of the game...park your but out side a base portal...any portal any server and see the traffic coming and going and i will show you bases are being used for something....don’t know what but people are going in and out.

Each and every base that i have steped foot in has inspired me in one way or another.

I think the base building community has firmly been planted at the bottom rung of the ladder
Unfortunately base construction as it is cant quite fill my need to play this game like I used to. Pushing the editor to its limits and then some was always fun but I think im done. It cant keep my interest like it used to. I start a project and get board with the task of working the bug to get things done. So I am boarding up the lack of windows and locking the portal door on my bases not to set foot in the editor until it can excite me again. 4785 base edit hours.........to be continued -

I'm a huge fan of your work, Sarcasm has never translated well, without the /sarcasm before and after the txt So, just to be clear, I'm hoping you were not being sarcastic.

yup lets just light a match..burn it down and start over. Im game

ahh how i miss banes lanes...and to think i made that almost 3 years ago -
Quote:Never in a million years would I think that anyone that ventures in to stacking in a base would be lazy. now I do believe that base building in general takes patients, and the bigger the project the more you need.Originally Posted by Chant
I guess in Stacker's book that would make ME lazy.
In what I do it needs to look good in my eyes and if that means rebuilding a project from the ground up thats what I do....but thats just me...Im a bit of a freak when it comes down to it. with any project you have to have a basic idea and I will lay out a outline on the floor in a room to see if it is going to work before I get to stacking it up in the air. all you need is to be off on one thing and well things wont line up. Looks like I have a topic for a new video.
Just because you dont use desks does not mean you do not know how to build. its all about what end goal you are looking for. in a arcane style base yes you may not use desks at all, but all my point has been is not to say they are completely broken and you shouldnt use them when its more about learning how to work around the limitations of the desk and making it work.
To look at the big picture the base building system flawed in itself not desks. face it what we do is just a big glitch in the system. the devs did not intend to make stacking with desks safes lamps or any other item in the game, its just a bug that they have over looked and let stand. Yes its a awesome bug that we all use and love....well most of us. -
In no way do i think you are insulting the work of many people that are building. But to use a statement like "Whatever you do, ignore what anyone says about using desks to stack desks" is crazy. Here is my point, to build a entire second with out using a safe/light + tile combo would take forever. yes you are not going to get height adjustments with a desk. but using the desk as a stacking tool for detail work i would use nothing else. to use all these tools safes lamps tiles and desks is the key to great building.
Now using desks as a building block to make things like walls floors ceilings its a big part of building depending on the theme you are going for. overlapping desks does not make them flicker if done correctly. its all about placement and again like i said knowing how to cover up what you do not want to be seen. I get that in your personal opinion that you do not build with desks but you should not discourage people to use them because you haven't figured out how to not make them glitch or found a way to cover it up.
This room has just over 1600 items 1200 of them are desks and there is not one glitch. and this is the New school way of building with safe/lamp and floor tile

I'm sure if I saw a room you did, and it was good quality and done before all this other sort of stuff came out, and it was very complex and time-consuming, I would acknowledge why you left the room the way it was. But for NEW base building, I strongly advise against using just desks. As previously stated, if you want to use desks, still stack them with another method to avoid the texture overlapping.
That's my two cents, people can do what they want with their bases and I will just remain arrogant I guess.
i dont know what rooms you have seen with desks flickering because as much as i have used them in my projects i have not had a problem. I understand your point making a second floor by stacking desks now is crazy, but using them in a design or as a tool is still the big core to base building. some counters will not allow items places on them...im not breaking out a tile when a simple desk will do. but i also come from the old school where to make a "magic" desk you had to rotate them so many times before you place them to be able to stack. texture overlaping is going to happen when building...but its all about how you hide it. this was the old school....look what we had to do to stack things. that is a sewer cap and it took 947 desks to get it there.
here is a new school way of stacking and i can tell you there is no flickering
and a look back at the first room finished....all done the old way. No two items intersect.
so to call people lazy that just use desks is just stupid. i use them in 95% of the stuff i do but thats just a noob talking. -
yes you can stack 3 desks and place a tile to make a floor. safes and lamps are another way. I use desks for stacking sometimes just because the tile is big and i need to see from the top down. the biggest piece of advice i can give to new builders is know your grab points. a grab point is the place on the item that your curser points to when you place a item. for example a desks grab point in the lower corner. i talk about it in the videos. look in my sig and im always somewhere if questions need to be answered. good luck and happy building!!

awesome looking base.
check out the stacking videos in my sig people tell me that they help.
