~Hymn of the first chapter~

The Order is my faith

My faith is my honor

My honor is my birthright

My birthright is my greatest virtue

___________________________________

It is my exclusive duty as an esteemed component of a Dawnbringer Chapter to:

Defend my greatest virtue,

Honestly fight for it in its battles,

Help acquire new lands for its survival,

Obey without question the will of my Dawnbringer
______________________________________________

What is it to be a part of this Order? It is the unspoken vow to be a decent man, to stand upright & firm against those cynics and rotters who plague cRPG with their presence, to honor truth, to treat honest players with kindness and comradery, to communicate with fellow brothers. No we can't all be angels, but yes we can strive to be better, to make this place better for harboring our presence.

It is NOD's one purpose to make this place better during our playing time. Said in so few words, but exercised in so many ways.

With that said...

No Mercy for the rag-tag devilish evils that plague NA cRPG and Strategus! The mightiest protection and support for our allies! The greatest reverence for our soldiers in the field!

Now onward, Dawnbringers, to brighter times, through struggle and conquest!
_____________________________________________

~~~~~How to join the Brotherhood~~~~~

Wish to take up the sword of righteousness? Enlist today!
~1~ Apply to join our faction in the ladder tab of the cRPG site, via search box (Region:EU&NA)
~2~ Add "TheTeutonicPaladin" to Steam friend's list and tell me you've applied to join NOD!
~3~ I will get you set up with the name-change/banner and introduce you to our other members!
~4~ You will be invited to join our steam group: "NOD (cRPG)" with parenthesis. Its avatar is identical to the banner shown on this page.

________________________________________________

~~~ -------------------- ~~~
DIPLOMACY
.. yes, even we must deal with other factions.


Warm Relations:
Dracul, Conquistadores, Brotherhood of the Teutonic(s)

Enemy:
General evil
~~~ -------------------- ~~~

________________________________________________

~~~~~~What to Wear~~~~~~
Our exalted brothers are most often seen brandishing heraldic armor and heavy helms, to show the enemy WE are on the march, and to bask in the prestige of our glorious banner.

Although the general armor of NOD is ultimately Teutonic in style, a fair amount of freedom is left to the individual to choose what he/she thinks is best for them in such designated style. We believe in uniformity and order, but not in the ridiculously intricate and impossibly-demanding equipment schemes of other clans.

Therefore the individual is trusted to choose within reason what armor is to be worn and what weapons are to be used.

Thus any medieval Teutonic European armor/weapon scheme is automatically accepted and encouraged, any medieval Nordic scheme is accepted.


~~~~~~What not to Wear~~~~~~
The Order as a body of similar, brotherly warriors, does not sport eastern gear. Anything east of West Poland is highly discouraged.

The Order does not wear Conquistador/New World gear. Brothers, we are not a bunch of pirates!

The Order does not condone the use of excessively light armor for melee warriors. We can best fight with our fellow teammates when not dead.


________________________________________________

The faction draws elements from the powerful Order of the Teutonic Knights, C&C faction(s), the professionally disciplined Duty faction of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the fanatic Space Marines of Warhammer40k, and a few real-life factions/philosophies.

NOD is characterized by the colors White, Red, Gold, and Black. Our Knights' armor is bright with the heraldry proclaiming their loyalty. Order leadership is determined by the supreme leader of the faction, the Dawnbringer, and is uniformly acknowledged and embraced by the membership body as a whole.

Alts cannot join. Those with 215+ ping on NA cannot join. Those who join and are inactive will not be kicked from our order or demoted in any way, but it is encouraged that you play with us brothers of NOD from time to time. Unless you yourself decide to leave, you will always be with us. And it is understood that people have lives. I myself have to work around an ungodly busy schedule, but I still find the time to play enough of this game.

The Dawnbringer is the widely-respected Teutonic Paladin. He leads all current Strategus endeavors and can be found most often in the "Defend the Virgin" gamemode when playing cRPG. His Steam username is TheTeutonicPaladin as mentioned above. Look to him if you have questions, comments, or want to join the Order.

A new day is dawning for the west... a golden epoch draws nigh. My followers, I salute you!

~The Teutonic Paladin

NA (Official) / NA Ban Request.
« on: August 19, 2013, 05:21:23 am »
This is the first ban thread I have ever made.

There are two trouble makers hi_im_daniel, and hi_im_Brendan who immediately started insulting me and friends of mine after I joined DTV. I'm a well known and highly respected DTV player who only tries to help the team in COOP gamemodes like DTV and make us successful at all times. So anyway they said why do you guys like Teutonic paladin so much he's just some fuck who comes on DTV, he "sucks and never plays battle, and when he does, he wears full plate". They made racist remarks at me, attacked me and killed me multiple times when I was trying to help OTHER teammates. They called me a n*gger four times

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=170796232

, and tried shieldbashing me into mobs of enemies.

They rejoined over and over, reporting me when I was trying to defend myself and eventually not only killing me, but also kicking me (5/5 teamwounds) directly after. I did my best to mute them, and my friends tried talking them down/helping me defend myself, but it was overall no deterrant.

Why are poll kicks/bans off? A couple of scorned, probably fat, craven nerds make the NA servers so shit to play for others. It is because of people like this that other's coop gameplay is ruined. I don't know what other names they go by, I hope this is enough to get them banned for quite a long time, they need a timeout to consider and change their pitiful lifestyles to something constructive.

I am used to dealing with people like this, but others aren't and will be exposed to such scum.

I did not want it to have to come to this, please turn pollkicks and bans back on.

cRPG Technical problems / WSE2(Texture Bug) Fix the Winged Great Helm.
« on: August 11, 2013, 04:40:57 am »
As of the latest patch, I have found through experimentation that users running WSE2 are commenting on the strange look of my helm. Me, not accustomed to WSE2, turned it on figuring I could see what they see.

And yes, oh yes, you guys must've messed up some where. Or this was deliberate. I don't really care.


http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=168483352


It *looks* as if there was an accident, a missing texture, or a texture used elsewhere lapped over into the maciejowski helm. But it seems a bit too 'well done', in the sense that it looks Satanic and is thus an insult to my character and an attempted insult to the nature of the people who wore such helms, to be an accident. I don't give a damn either way, fix the helm if not for my sake, then for the eyes of those around me.

Because it's just plain hideous now.

General Off Topic / DTV Characters Picture
« on: July 07, 2013, 06:15:04 am »
Hello again, ladies and gentlemen. I've been taking some long transport rides of late, and trains don't go so fast, so I figured I'd occupy my time with another DTV-themed art picture. Huzzah! The inspiration for this idea came from Alliedint, an AUS friend found on NA DTV servers.

He said something like "You're like the lord, Demiok is like the knight, and Im like the peasant that carries your packs lol". This made me want to draw it all out, to show each regular DTV character how I see them. I thought what a crazy idea! but I promised myself I'd do it regardless, and I'm the kind of guy who keeps his word, who finishes what he starts.

And I have. I started drawing with a simple notebook and pencil and within about 2 days I had everyone drawn out, from memory alone. I went on to scan them, edit & color them in gimp 2.8, and put the individual drawings altogether on one backdrop.

So here you are:

I didn't spend a whole lot of time making the metal and such look shiny, etc, I wanted this one to look whimsical. I succeeded in that, no doubt. If something about your character is wrong, off, keep in mind I did this from memory, bear with me.

In this photo (L - R): Cyper, Conquistador_Ermax, Gladiatrix_Demiok, Conquistadors_Lemikz, Desire_of_Chaos, Kazy, Mike_Defender, Superfluous_Steven, Alliedint, Solaire_of_Astora, TheTeutonicPaladin (Me), LawlCats, Leekfan, Hephaestion (Sir_Andrew), Swadian_Recruit (Mili7ia), Hoc_Ranger_Slammy, Happyphantom, HoC_Kingsguard_Jona, Wickedwimp,

and HoC_Yeoman_Zesharpe is chilling in the snowy backround with Vivi.

General Off Topic / In The Defense of My Honor
« on: July 04, 2013, 07:50:14 am »
I like many Mediterranean guitar pieces, such as those played by the Spanish, Italians, Greeks, and others. I myself came up with this bit of guitar stuff a couple months ago. There's more to the piece but I don't want to spend a lot of time on this topic.

Plumbo_The_White accused me of carrying out ignoble, ignominious deeds when guarding V in DTV, not playing the guitar offhand like I said I was. He said I wouldn't upload proof in the defense of my dignity. So here is what I was playing:

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/9mg9obcc5ub9bpb/Mediterranean_Serenade.mp3

Sorry for the static in the backround, I had to amplify this so you could hear it.

And yes, it gets boring guarding Vivi.

Scene Editing / Editing Native Multiplayer Maps
« on: July 01, 2013, 08:22:18 pm »
I have always used native multiplayer maps (such as port assault, snowy village, etc.) as blank slates to work on in map-making because it was most convenient. This way worked for me a few years ago when my friend had a server and I see no reason why it cannot work again.

There is a problem, however: the native maps are not listed in the SceneObj file under their well-known names shown in-game.

For instance, Snowy Village has that name in-game, but its Scene obj. file and its text within scenes.txt do not match that name. Snowy Village could equal multi_scene_5 or something along those lines.

I'd use the cRPG editor itself and just edit a blank damn map, but it doesn't show up for me in-game even if in windowed mode.

So does anyone out there have a list of which maps correspond to which file listings? I had a hunch that multi_scene_3 = Ruined Fort, but then again I have no foreseeable way to test this.

Scene Editing / Rasinari - DTV Map (Needs Server Testing)
« on: July 01, 2013, 03:31:03 pm »
Rasinari


First and foremost I will say that this DTV map is not a Fantasy map in any sense. It is a serious DTV map just like the others. It must be tested, however, to ensure that everything clicks and that you have the correct file and correct text. The .sco file is under a third of 600kb (~270kb), so download time will go faster upon first download. I have constructed it in the native scene editor, editing the 'Ruined Fort' map (multi_scene_3 I believe?).


The map is finished and uploaded in a package to mediafire, here: http://www.mediafire.com/?eoxmrvbc777v5gs. The file, and text within the terrain info document provided is not named Rasinari, as I figured if I changed it incorrectly it would be permanently invalid. It must be renamed, I believe, to keep it from overwriting the original Multi_scene_3. The screenshots are also provided, and I will post them here as well for your viewing pleasure.

Scene Editing / Straatholme - My Shiny New DTV Map
« on: June 05, 2013, 09:12:13 am »
Well hello there. No doubt at some point you have seen me on the DTV server, for that is where I spend the bulk of my cRPG time when I have it. Indeed I do love a good DTV round, but it has become increasingly evident that DTV maps are not exactly in surplus. Of course, as responsible parts of the DTV community, you admin gentlemen and ladies could always make a map here and there, occupying your long important hours, but why not let your pals that play DTV do the work for you !

Win-win, right!?

Gandalf seems to think so. So let me cut the cr@p and get right down to it. I made a cave DTV map. It is open and has nice little heart-warming details thrown in there that players will appreciate. I have screenshots, the file itself, and the terrain/scene code that is required. I have tested AI paths with several bots more than 5 times, and even tweaked the paths themselves. Here are some screenshots:

I made a cave map long ago, but it has been lost with the passage of time. I made this because I had some free time today that I am not normally blessed with, so don't waste my efforts. If you are interested, let me know and I will supply the file/code. The file itself is 659 kb, but that is not far over the 600 kb line. I did my best to delete junk that wasn't needed from the file to reduce size...& surely you fellows can wait an extra second of downloading to play a wondrous DTV map.


     The Virgin protectors are winding through a cavern short-cut route on their way to a Nordic kingdom when attacked & pursued by hordes of fiercesome, semi-retarded enemies. They decide to take refuge in an ancient stronghold within the mountain known as Straatholme, to prepare for the siege. They light the antiquated, iconic fireplace within the settlement's perimeter as a beacon of radiant light and goodness in the dark deep of this mountain, and to send a defiant message to the raiders not far off. Who will be victorious this day, those who heroicly (and sometimes not so heroicly) defend Vivi, or the mindless swarms of foul raiders and glitchy wretches that wish her harm and pain?!




So what do you people think?

A picture I synthesized myself using Gimp 2.8. It features my main cRPG character on wave 3 of DTV (on everyone's favorite round). I'm wearing my Gothic plate (with a white cape thrown in there for effect).

This is how it went:
1: Goretooth is being snotty about his k/d and first leaves the server so he wouldnt get shot after he joins. Ok fine.
2: he comes back, and then hides behind a tree so he wouldnt get shot and forces a tie.
3: Next round goretooth dies.
4: A BRD member objects to him after his death, saying "you leaving again?".
5: he responds with "No, but you are. Because you're bugging me. Got it?"
6: BRD member says "Alright well its my old friends like you that make me hate this game anyway cya"
7: Instant perm ban. People are devastated.
8: Next round (new map) people still saying wow, or that was way over the top. I say "that my old friend shouldnt have admin"
9: I am instantly perm banned.
Wtf is going on?
Sorry I didn't know that we no longer hold the right of free speech on a North American server hosted in the US.

Suggestions Corner / Allow Full Name Changes (Please!!)
« on: May 30, 2011, 05:29:27 am »
  I think full name changes should be allowed, but only if they are serious. Hell I'd pay 20k, even 30k to change my damn name entirely. I recently started a (new) clan to keep my members still interested in cRPG, and my current name has nothing to do with it. I am extremely distraught as I've already wasted untold money on name changing attempts. I've played cRPG for approximately 900 hours, and still have faith in it. Please at least consider giving the option of allowing my in-game name to be changed.. I don't care the cost.

Suggestions Corner / Strategus: Taking prisoners (clans)
« on: May 25, 2011, 06:45:22 am »
If you were to be defeated in a strategus battle, wouldn't it make sense if there was a chance of you being caught? There could even be a new skill called "evasion" or some sort. It would be just like single player, except only members of a clan could be caught and sold for ransom to avoid a mass of slaves and player base loss from all clans picking on the little guys. Not trying to offend anyone by this, but I think this would really improve the aesthetics of Strategus overall. :)
