Yeah, that, and I've added custom everything and the player is able to roam freely across an expansive pretty much seemless world, as well as swim and fly. I also made an accurate GPS to go with it, as well as a system of Diablo 2 style skill books for the characters to invest skill points into when they level up. I'm also composing some of the best music I've ever wrote, and the story was developed over a course of a year or so before I started. The original systems have been intensely reviewed and nothing was left default unless I couldn't change it to better favor the project. I also didn't even install the default graphics. :P

Unfortunately, I started with doing the systems and programming first. So graphically there's really nothing to show but crappy testing graphics.

No one ever pays for RPG Maker. Ever. If you were fully skilled with the software, you'd know better.

Its actually $59.99 anyway.

(Teehee, I'm making a game in RPG Maker XP, but it doesn't suck.)

Epkyrotic Bang theory states that our universe spawned from two other universes colliding and sparking our universe. If this is true, our universe would be infantile and a gordonfreemanillion times smaller compared to other much older universes.

Sealand doesnt have any room or ground. Maybe a relatively large Polynesian island.

I've dug into some of the craziest stuff a while ago about pre-christian angels.

From what I remember.

Hell was basically a place to be punished like we all know, but it was not an eternal punishment like the modern twist on the idea. Simply your soul was tortured by angels of punishment until it is turned into water. Then you ere cast back upon the earth in the rain to find life again.

Angels were crazy-ass monsters. Michael was said to have 1000 wings, each with a mouth that drool out Cherubs. His face was simply a shape of flesh and skin that had no eyes, mouth, nose, etc.

Demons are only corrupted humans, and Sataniel is not evil at all. Only humans can be evil.

I noticed this.

In Minecraft, 90% of the time, you start on a beach. The default character looks like a sun-beaten guy with dirt possibly damaged clothes. The game type is survival. Have you been shipwrecked on a distant land fighting for survival? Did Notch set it up like this or is it coincidental?

I would like to make a Minecraft diary of such a story one day.

So... when your computer is running this program, you make money. What does the program do exactly? Is it like your offering processing power for copious science experiments in Sweden and being paid for it?

The non-neoclassical business model of a larger entity paying for a smaller entity seems to be what's happening. Like a casino's extra revenue paying for an animal shelter or a free clinic.

Valve likely makes enough money from other things to do this. Adding micro-transactions in the game to get items also gains revenue from existing players who had already spent the money in the first place. The revenue from that likely covers the cost to buy the game. Also the micro-transactions are continuous and not one-time deals. If the problem of complaining is large enough, they will deal with it appropriately.

I'm just going to miss playing and earning free weapons and items. They will all have to be bought now which is balls.

Impressed with the crater, disappointed in the tunnels though. Maybe I should just fill them in completely with TNT... >.>

You'd have to have a lot of fucking mentality to dig the entirety of that with that level of precision without going completely insane
I line up a lot of my large digs by coordinates by pressing F3.

Also, I was thinking of a little mini Minecraft contest inspired by what Naserve and I did on the SnC server.

Premise: You have 7 days to construct the most bad-ass looking Nether Portal you can make. This means fire, decorations, and anything to make it look like a true gate to hell. Submit screenshots when finished.

Also found out that if you have errors getting online, you can still connect. You just can't connect to any server IP ending in 25565.

QUICK QUESTION:
I have a Prop_Dynamic that needs to be only damaged by a trigger hurt. I have the setup with the hurt, prop, and a damage filter. Though I can't seem to get it so it works.

I have it like this.

Prop:
OnTakeDamage > DamageFilter > Test Activator

The filter is detecting for GENERIC damage, which the hurt is set at. Then I have the outputs fire from the damage filter. Magically it doesn't work.

Halp?


found an alternative, but i would still like to know.

I rarely [Alt]+[P] as well. Never tells me anything good until the compiler picks up an error of some kind.

Oh here's a tip: For extra ambiance, take your sound into a sound editor and muffle it out. In hammer, put the muffled sound near the regular one but at a much larger audible distance. That way very few sounds fill up an entire map very easily and give you good inside ambiance and outside ambiance. :)
