General Discussion / [MOD IZ DEAD] A DIY Community Armor Project
« on: December 25, 2013, 04:11:42 am »
MOD IZ DEAD: A DIY Community Armor Project
Overview:
Okay nerds, in the spirit of festivus and to celebrate how the mod is, in fact, dead, I will be taking armor requests and doing my best to make it as baus and accurate as possible. Depending how lazy I get, I'm planning on doing at least two (probably one--motivation is hard to come by these days). Please include as many source/reference images as possible and follow the rules below (any entry that doesn't follow the rules will be ignored). If we can't get a devmy old friend to add it to the mod as a new armor (I don't care about stats/balance, devmy old friends will figure it out if it comes to that) then I'll replace whatever current armor in game of your choosing so that this can be seen instead. Also note that it doesn't have to be uber intricate plate or whatever (although I'm up for it), it just needs to be stylish and super cool.
Rules:
Entry Format
For your entry to be considered, you must post in the following format (just quote this post and delete all the other sections):
****************************************************
Proposed Armor Name:
example
Reference(s):
****************************************************
Additional Information:
Please note that I really only do textures but I can do some nifty hackjobs/remeshes if need be so we'll be limited by whatever base model is closest and whatever parts can be salvaged/hackjobbed on top of it (any modeler nerds out there who want to collab are welcome). If you know of an existing model that conceivably fits the design in terms of the how the model itself is shaped, feel free to also mention it in your entry, especially if it's a model that isn't currently in cRPG. I also haven't done one in like 6 months so bare with me.
Some of my stuff is included in the Clash of Kings Warband mod (based on Game of Thrones) which can be found on taleworlds/moddb/google/whatever. For example pics see here: #1 #2 #3 #4.

Rules:
- You must follow the post format in order to be considered (see below)
- All armor types are valid, though if you post some super lame IP fantasy shit like Lord of the Rings or whatever it'll probably be ignored
- Hard texture designs only/no heraldic parts because I cbf'd into learning how that shit works
- Only one entry per poster (make it count!)
- The entry with the most + votes and isn't retarded is the winner
- Cutoff time is 12pm GMT-8 (or whatever PST is) -- any other entry afterward may be considered but at this point I can really only guarantee the first one
- It will probably be finished sometime on Saturday/Sunday if not sooner

General Off Topic / The Truth About the Universe
« on: December 12, 2013, 09:14:10 am »
There's a ton of pseudo philosophical/Manichean bullshit going around in this forum so I would like to share with you all the real truth about the universe. All the nerds who are into quantum physics, m-theory, magick, and occult should recognize this stuff. You can all take this as bullshit but it's all based on real things and isn't hard to make sense out of so bare with me.
Physical Background
We live in a 3D world and experience sections of 4D time (the "present" time). However, we don't fully experience or are aware of what time really is, much like a 2D creature running along a cylindrical, 3D surface--from the 2D creature's perspective, he's only running in a straight line but when looked upon from the dimension above, he's actually running in a circle. So if you extrapolate this example to our perception as 3D beings running along a 4D surface (time)--when looked upon from the 5th dimension--every moment in your life looks physically connected. Picture every moment in your life physically connected all the way back from when you were born, back into your mother and then throughout her life and into her mother and her mother before her and so on and so on until every single life form is attached to the single cell organism in which all life in this universe originated from. All life throughout the history of the universe when looked upon from the 5th dimension is actually a single organism.
The Universe and The Self
Much inline with the likes of Aleister Crowley, Phillip K Dick, Terrence McKenna, Stanislav Grof, Grant Morrison etc, our universe is a living, 5th dimensional creature that has not yet reached adolescence. Since we are, in fact, a part of the same 5th dimensional organism, so is our conscience. There is literally no individual. Individualism is just a social construct that we have made to help us bring social structure in civilization. The "self" inherently implies that there is a "not-self." So ask yourself, why do you define yourself through limitations and differences with other people? If you take George W. Bush, for example, why is it that all of a sudden, right-wing neo-conservatism defines the boundary of your self-sense? We are literally the same organism, so why shouldn't we be able to just absorb that way of thinking and accept it for what it is? Part of the evolution of the universe and its coming of age, is that the individual cells (each life form) comes into realization that we are all the same being and that you can tap into any sort of personality you'd like. No one actually ever "dies," as all time happens concurrently in the 4th dimension. However, our perception of death actually just brings our conscious "self" back to the collective conscience of the universe in which we can relive any life at any point in time. So what's the deal with assholes and oppressive fucks like HitIer you ask? Well part of being a 5th dimensional creature is that every possible outcome is also perpendicularly attached (going beyond the 5th dimension) so the universe is literally a perfect creature. Perfect in the sense that it encompasses everything, so what would a perfect creature be if it didn't include the dark and shitty side of things? In the grand scheme of things, these extremes just get averaged out and are less meaningful when shuffled back into the collective conscience.
The Universe Coming of Age, Alien Abduction and Gods
Now here is where it gets interesting and where science and creationism is bridged across. Throughout the history of human civilization, there has been records of people claiming that they have been visited by gods, abducted by aliens, etc. These are actually sign posts from the collective conscience trying to help guide us into realization. However, most people come out of the experience with the wrong interpretation, leading to people believing that they are the messiah, born-again Christians, etc. They come out of it with the message that "I am the one", "I am the chosen one," etc when the message was really that we are all one--the single 5th dimensional organism. These are the same experiences but individually perceived differently based on everyone's own cultural influences. McKenna believed that Dec 21st, 2012 was the date in which the universe would reach adulthood and that we would all shed our bodies and go into the collective conscience and in that moment, everyone would perceive that they have obtained their greatest desire (obviously this didn't happen). Morrison, whose work influenced The Matrix, believes that the universe is among many other universes that are grown by adult 5th dimensional beings. Our universe is a larvae planted in time (because outside of 4D time, nothing grows) meant to grow up and become one of these higher dimensional creatures.
Us vs. Them, Fact vs. Fiction
The beauty about this is that it can be extrapolated into every aspect of thinking--everything is one. Drawing back to the misinterpreted enlightenment experiences and Christianity, if you take the Christian "fish" symbol, but extend both line ends of the fish and follow its curvature, you would actually get a venn diagram, depicting the intersection of two circles--we are all one. In international political science, the "self" identity of nations coming across the "not-self" leads to war--another unfortunate result of limiting the "self" with the illusion of individuality. Fate and free will? The same thing--all time exists concurrently (4D time) and all possible outcomes are already laid out (seen from the 6th dimension), however it is your "free will" that determines the specific set of events that you experience. Much like language limits our way of thinking (we think in terms of words defined by a set of alphabetic characters which were just created to help communicate, however it is in no way possible to describe virtually everything imaginable, stuff in which we have no words for), reality is really only defined by belief. God is as real as Batman because both have influenced human experience--in the case of "God," thousands of years of human civilization has been influence by the idea of "God" so the concept of God (or Batman) is as real as any of us, if not more real (more people throughout time will know of God/Batman than people who remotely knew you ever existed in the first place).
In conclusion, I hope anyone who reads this gets a better outlook on things and realize that individuality, partisanship, nationalism, etc is all bullshit and we should all just chill out and calm the fuck down.
TL;DR Version
Superman was dying so he wanted to see if humanity would be okay without superheroes to save them so he pinched atoms together with his fingers and created our universe.

cRPG Technical problems / Retrieving information from servers...
« on: November 17, 2012, 08:23:07 am »
Sometimes when I start the game I can't find any servers on the browser and it seems to always happen to me before strat battles 
Usually I can just restart the game over and over until it works but this last time I did it for over 30 minutes (missing the strat battle) and still no dice. Did a repair, restart, etc and tried everything here but still can't find anything..
EDIT: I figured it out.. apparently it only happens when I open up TS before launching the game.

All custom banners default to a random default banner. I can see some of the new ones enabled that are color variations of the originals but no custom banners show up for me for some reason

Game Balance Discussion / Upkeep of different classes
« on: May 22, 2011, 12:31:08 pm »My guess is it's because it's so much easier to grind gold on some builds than it is on others. Allow transfers between alts and soon you'll have everyone playing archer.
lolwut. Being an archer doesn't make you any more gold than any one else unless you're the type of person that wears the most expensive stuff every time you play.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Noob Player, Why is there No Respec?
« on: May 04, 2011, 01:48:38 am »
Sorry if this is a common question, I did a search but only a few vague posts with vague responses came up. Can someone explain why there is no respec option (other than reroll/retire)? I'm just about lvl30 right now and have just now grasped the concept of what makes a build optimal and what worked/what didn't but 4 Million more XP before I can retire and start over with the generation benefit is an insanely harsh penalty for people like me who didn't surf forums and plan the exact build beforehand without trying it out.
It doesn't have to be an easy thing either, it could cost like 100k gold or something to prevent people from doing it too often.
