Does anyone know what is an Ubersplat?
You can find it under the Actions menu, like
Ubersplat - Create an ubersplat at center of Region 001

Has anyone ever played the map "Mutation Aeons" before? In that map, every time a hero dies, the big word "SPLAT" appears on your screen, and fades after a few seconds. Does this have anything to do with ubersplat action?
I've tried ubersplat on a region with nothing on it but nothing seems to happen.
 
if i remember correctly an ubersplat is a texture you can lay on top of the tiles, like the ground textures which occur underneath buildings, the bricks for humans, leaves for nightelven structures, etc etc.

the "SPLAT" effect you are talking is done using a "fade filter", its like a picture you can fade in and out again timed. there are some standard filters, i dont know whether "SPLAT" is one of them but it might be, if not you can still import custom ones.

There is a SPLAT in the fade filter.
 
i wasnt sure anymore, long time since i used them and i cannot look it up right now.

Yeah, there is! Thanks a lot. And by the way, the last filter on the list in GUI, it says "Panda and Cub" but I only get a black filter. Any ideas why?
 
have you set color of your filter? it should be 100% Red, Green, Blue (yea, that gives White) and 0% for all three gives you Black.

    It is weird seeing a way more realistic users online number

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
