Sorry for my abscense, people My computer had a total crash yesterday and became unoperatable, so we had to wait for a computer technician to come fix it today, then some other things. However, he deleted the temporary files, which were a part of the problem (I had 3 gigabytes of them, rofl, I didn't realize I had that much ), and took out a defective RAM disk, another cause of the problem (but I lost 2/3 of my RAM because of that, so my computer runs veeery slowly now --- took 3 minutes to open up IE, lol!).
I, unfortunately, lost the terrain map (it was stored in my temp files by mistake), so I will need to start back from Alexander's copy
Sorry, everybody, just thought I would fill you in on what happened
You can post your comments there too so I don't need to go back and forth
Ya, they are still very WIP, I haven't really started in on making them look beutiful yet, but rather wanted to inform you guys and get some constructive criticism
Thanks, Jindo, I was going for a creepy look :shades: (lol, part of the building appears in the distance but the bottom part is invisible because of the distance )
And thanks, conan, athough I don't know what FTW is ... It actually looks pretty decent from a bird's eye view, too Although it does help to see the sky from this angle ...
ima have to agree with Jindo on the first, exepct for two things, every thing is waaaaay to spaced out, and semetry in a grave yard? looks kinda cool, but not as "real" as i could.
as for the secon one, i take its a town?, all's good thier!
Shadowy made the town of Merra. I'm looking at everything he's done, right now (he sent me the map) and I have to say, dude, it kicks butt! \m/ (>.<) \m/
Anyway.
Yeah, it was POSSIBLE there would be 2 more As it is, we've agreed on ONE, and left the other one for later, if at all
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.
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
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"
