Sprites

Redcape continues to pump out the new sprites. Go check them out...

Sprite Thread

Tyrranus is moving the wiki over to the new site... But the wiki can always use any help you guys can give it.

New Wiki

Also I am asking for any help of transferring important stuff from the old msg board to the new one, if your bored please help.

Sorry no new tutorial today just not feeling it spent too much time playing with the SVN.

Player Screen \ Wiki

Not the smoothest of release... then again I've never had a smooth release. But it's out there and done. Keep the bug reports coming, I'm pretty tired of bugs at the moment but I will get to them sooner or later.

First look at the player screen... most likely the final version will look completely different. That's just the way it goes. Most of this stuff is designed to be expandable because factions will probably be added, tasks, and skills will be added. So easier to just make it expandable from the start rather then later on.

-------------------------

I was asked to mention the wiki again now that we have a new release and it can use a bit more love. A wiki is only as good as the contributors, plus it stops the same questions from being asked again and again. So if you got some time, go play with it.

Set up Screen, Wiki, Offtopic

Didn't do much last night except add a few more elements during a dull Castle and rather good John Stewart.

------------

The wiki team continues adding information adding TF to the team.

The rest is completely off topic and probably been rephrased in my mind. Read only if your bored.

So I get a phone call at 9:45am this morning.

(ME) Hello?
(Charter) Hi, I'm BEEP with Charter Fraud is this BEEP I'm talking to.
(ME) Yah...
(Charter)We just wanted to let you know that last month you exceeded the download threshold last month.
(ME)What threshold?
(Charter)Well on October we sent out that there are new thresholds in the amount you can download. It seems that with your current account you can only download 100gb a month and you downloaded 793gb... (pauses) Do you download movies from Netflix or something similar. HD movies on Netflix can run 8gb.
(Okay so I found a new porn site last month and went a little insane but 100gb is ridiculously low. But hell if I'm going to tell Charter that I'm using bit torrent.)
(Me)Something like that, there's a threshold?
(Charter)Yes, we just started notifying customer this month, if you exceed it more then three months in a rolling 6 months, we can discontinue your service.
(ME)Isn't 100gp a bit too low.
(Charter)The average family only uses 25gb a month.
(Obviously except for the ones using Netflix... So that's how it is. Cable is $65 a month and Netflix is $7.99 but uses the same bandwidth.)
(ME)Isn't 100gp a bit too low?
(Charter)Well if you do upgrade your service we can increase the threshold up to 500gb... oh wait your area doesn't have that service. The max we can upgrade it to is 250gb.
(And I did 3x that in a single month!)
(ME)Can you send at least e-mails when I'm close to my threshold like cell phones.
(Charter)We don't have that as an option.
(ME)Okay upgrade me.
(Charter)Thank you for using Charter.

(Looks like quest is going to get a new customer soon.)

Combat Effects, Combat Startup, Wiki Cont

So effects are in now that's why my party is drunk. Can't say I blame them. Effects don't do much yet but will need for poisoning and drunk etc. Not sure though about player and assistant effects if they will be persistent after combat or exploration. That makes all of the basic core parts of combat in place. Are they fleshed out, oh hell no, but core allows for testing... on to the next part.



The combat set up screen. I'm looking for ideas how to arrange it pretty cause its stumping me. Go check out this thread if you want to suggest your screen design.

Screen Set up

----------------------

The wiki is growing rapidly thanks to Redcape, Flagnine and A Wikia contributor. In one day they have put up a huge amount of information, pics, and are really fleshing it out. Thanks guys.

Wiki

Redcape has been good enough to start a wiki.

http://otherworlddev.wikia.com/wiki/Otherworld_Wiki

Not much there yet but then again its a wiki it depends on you actually adding content, go for it.

------------------


Son of a Bitch... so somehow I deleted my build from last night so combat effects and the start of the Combat Setup screen gone. I'll re-write them tonight probably a bit faster, but still son of a bitch. I can't believe I made that mistake. But at least that is why I do daily back ups.
