Fixed the links, c j b. n e t=unliked by forum i guess.

I can see them!! YAY!

I quite like the the Depressionly Canadian one...the owa forums is good as well...I like the way there is a different pic for each FF game on the last site as well...

:grin:

I agree with Lenny on some the demo. It will be awhile. I ran into a snag with the Day>Night system. The one I had worked perfectly, but, like all good things, it is flawed. When you go inside, the houses are lit like outside. And there is no way that I know of to make it not rain inside without using alot of fork options. I know how to fix the lighting engine. I just don't want to.

*Summon Bluecube*

For the rain, is it not possible to make a common event for it...and just have switches etc???

I don't know if you follow me there...I assume lots of things...most things I think everyone knows what I'm on about...but they don't...anywho...as i was saying...common event...

The common event has lots of branches...if whatever...and the switches turn on/off when you go inside...then on/off when you go outside starting the rain again...but then there are the lots of forks you just talked of...my bad...ignore me...

...As for the rain issue then, that's easy - I'm assuming the rain is controlled via a switch at some point, correct? (Even if it's not directly CONTROLLED by the switch, one could be set at that time, as a marker that it is, in fact, raining)

If that's the case, just have all weather stop when going inside any house (don't even have to have a branch going in - just set the weather to do nothing). Going out, just have one branch that sets the weather to rain (based on the [xxxx:HEY GUYS IT'S RAINING] switch). Nothing special there.

Of course, this is assuming you don't have a common event running in the background that tells it to rain every few milliseconds. I'll hope that you didn't make THAT kind of mistake..

You say that as if you know he has done...

It's what I would do...:p

If I dont show you the pics tomorrow then they wont be up for till this weekend ... nothin should come up this weekend..

WAHEY!!! The weekend us upon us, and I have a wek ahead of me with absolutely nothing to do...I think I'll write more of the story...

----------

I've decided to name my little stroy: Power Unimaginable.

Though I'm gonna try and change unimaginable to something different...

Just to let you know so that if you see an attachment called Power Unimaginable you know what it is...

----------

EDIT: I've settled on Power Inconceivable for the mo...though it's liable to change...

for the main characters ive changed the looks jason still has a bandanna on ... also i need some special skills / magic / etc and how its gonna look when they perform it...

I can't remember saying that...I don't even have anything to do with pictures...

I get two little magic thingys...the first is the one in the intro where Jason goes "evil magician" on the wolves asses...with all the red light etc:

Quote:

Turning round to face the remaining wolves, his eyes glinted with evil power.
The wolves shrank back. Their cockiness gone as they faced him. No longer the person they had been chasing. Now, a madman.
He stretched his arms out to his sides, bringing them level with his shoulders. Slowly, he moved them upwards, above his head, until they touched. He clasped them together and started to mutter to himself. Around him, a red light began to form. Starting at his clasped hands, moving down until he was completely surrounded by it. His smile growing into a bloodthirsty grin, he took a step towards the wolves. Once more they shrank back.
He brought his arms down, as if trying to throw away his hands. He brought them down with such force, he nearly fell forward onto the sodden ground. The red light sprang away from him, splitting as it flew towards the wolves, who, to now avail, were now running away. The strands of red light coiled themselves around wolves legs bringing them to the ground before creeping through their fur, flowing up unwilling nostrils and into unwilling mouths. Each wolf twitched as the red light disappeared inside them.
They lay there for only a minute, twitching occasionally, the seconds dragging past like hours. The man stood like a statue. Arms held in front of him, never moving. Suddenly, he swung his arms out to his sides, once more bringing them level with his shoulders.
The wolves started to twitch uncontrollably. Eyes jumping about in sockets, tongues flapping as if caught in a strong wind.
Slowly, the arms drifted down to hang at the mans sides. His lips moved, uttering a single word.
As one, the wolves exploded in a red mist. Nothing was left of them, but for the red mist drifting towards the man. As it touched him, it changed form. From red mist, to red liquid. The colour of the second moon. Blood. The mans eyes flashed red, once, twice, three times. The blood covering his body began to disappear. Through the pores of his body it was sucked, leaving nothing but tanned skin, covered in healing wounds, and a bloody rag around the mans waist and thighs. For one last time, his eyes flashed red, before returning to their normal state.
As he slouched off, twelve milky shadows erupted from the ground where the stricken wolves had lain. Their spirits were free from the bodies, but not to return to their beginnings, but to follow their captor, and, ironically, the one who had freed them.

Another is a little idea I got, that I don't know if it will be allowed...

Jason is taken off towards the end of the game by a weird guy...someone with immense healing powers etc. (meet him early on in the game)...to the camp of the UM. Here, he is taken to the healing guys tent...and his mind is unlocked, allowing all his powers to come back to him...but Jason's purpose takes over (he was created in a lab on a different continent as a war machine --- think like Wolverine. He had a little safety system built into him, that if he was attacked, or probed with magic etc...then he attacks), and he killa everything withing a 3 mile radius...this time it is a great ball of black light...

If the idea is allowed, I'll descirbe it later on...

Sorry Aurvian, not trying to take your job, just thought this was a pretty good pic. Maybe he could be a party member or bad guy that is contemplating his life...

That's pretty good. Heh looks like your webmaster is banned, need a new one? I can help with designing weaponry and such, just tell me and give details.

I got an idea for that guy...

The leader (don't know the proper military term) of the United Militia. Young, strong, feels he has to prove himself...

What were your thoughts when you were drawing him Draco?

Actually, I wasn't thinking much. Just, that he was thinking that maybe what he has been doing all his life was for nothing. With everything he went through, he has nothing to show for it. Maybe he could be a bad guy, then not really turn good, but kinda just stops being bad. I dunno, but there is an idea.

Wow. I leave for a week and you guys go and do almost a months worth of work. Well... a months work to me.

Don't worry. The Grandmaster project leader is still with you. I am still working, though, I have a lot of extra's to deal with. Especially tonite. I am preforming with my friends at a youth group tonight.

:grin: Isn't it grand having a group of folks.

By the way, I am going to color that guy and maybe, if I like the way he turns out, I will post it. I am going to work on different poses for him. So yeah. I can't draw for beans though :p :D

That ties in quite nicely with my thoughts about him wanting to prove himself...what does Wed think??

----------

That was really only a week??? Man...I need a new internal clock...I'm screwed big style if that was only a week...

----------

You can draw a damn site better than I can...the extent of my drawing skills stops at stick men in crazy little doodles...:p

I've had another idea for the guy you drew.

There's a guy Jason beats in the town who joins the party...I can't remember his name...that guy could be him...

Let's do this, this planet needs to be saved and we're the only people who can do it!"

Again, yes. Thinks highly of himself...but is made fun of by the hero and literally trodden into the mud beneath the hero's boots...secretly likes the girl, but tries as hard as possible to keep it to himself...and is extremely good at doing so...never or rarely lets his guard down...

What's the title of this called???

I can't remember whether we settled on a title or not...memories goin' you see...:p

I've called the little thig I'm writing "The Power Pernicious"...if that helps...

Though I keep on changing it...so...

All I know is that names are not my strong suit. I think the only good name I have ever come up with is Darmenos. Other than that, KAPOOTSKI! Oh well. Good thing I ain't the name-maker-upper-dude. LOL. Anyways, I am almost finished with his battle-beaten pic. He is really beat up, but has a quite evil look. Scary. Probably post it in my next post.
