Modification Help / Projectile animations revisited
« on: April 14, 2009, 01:19:37 AM »
I'm using MS3D and I tried exporting a simple projectile spin animation but so far I haven't been able to do it. I'm using Torque DTS Plus exporter, and creating/editing the animation sequence in the exporter window. I tried naming it both "maintain" and "ambient" but no dice, the projectile remains unmoved.

The projectile is created via Events (not from a weapon) but this shouldn't affect it's animations since both of badspot's rockets still animate when fired from events. Anyone have any ideas?

Drama / ----->New to drama? Look here<-----
« on: April 05, 2009, 02:26:45 PM »
Please note that these are general behavioral rules you should follow in order to not get crucified by the other drama ghouls living here. These have nothing to do with bannings and what-not, that's purely up to the administrators.

So you're new in Drama eh? Got a thread with your name on it? Or just come to cuss someone out? Either way, READ THE ACTUAL RULES FIRST, then read this simple guide in order to avoid getting forgeted here.

1. READ THE TOPIC, THINK, THEN REPLY.
People still skip step 2 so you might be safe from that one, maybe, but you won't be safe if you skip step1 as well.

2. DO NOT DOUBLE, TRIPLE, or QUINTUPLE POST
If you post more then once in a single topic before anyone has time to reply, then you would be advised to leave. It grinds everyones' gears when anyone does that, even accidentally.

See that tiny loving button in the corner of your posts? Called MODIFY? Use it.

3. EMOTES = IMMEDIATE HORRIBLE THINGS HAPPENING TO YOU
No joke! If you click a single one of those loving buttons up there more then once both your hands will explode I CAN DO THAT YOU KNOW

4. NO ATTENTION WHORING
This includes making "I'm leaving" threads (ban-able by the way), "How much do you guys hate me?", and other self pity E/N emo stuff threads.

5. WEAK BURNS GET YOU SCORCHED
"Lol youre just a kid", "go die in a fire", "your just a monkey cheese ass face pickle stuff lol" and any variations of age discriminatory, overplayed Self Delete insults, and "random lulzercaust" insults will get you blasted with the most powerful kind of insult, called motherloving LOGIC.

Some things reminded by General Omega (reply in page 1, scroll down)

6. PROVE YOUR CLAIMS
We need to see at least screenshots or logs to go with your claims (even if they were made up, I don't care). Otherwise we can easily claim you're lying, and that's the end of your fancy joyride right there.

7. READ THE STICKIED THREADS FOR GOD'S SAKE
Or actually, no, don't read them. Go get your stupid ass banned, atleast then you'll be loving gone!


I can't think of anything else everyone hates right now. Someone please remind me of things people hate.

Next, this stuff is generally some tips to not getting yourself on some peoples' stufflists, provided by repliers.

If it has to do with forum drama specific to one person:

   1) Explain your side.
   2) Give a link to the post you disagree with.
   3) Give a link to the person's profile and last post.
   4) Spell discuss correctly.


I encourage the regular drama whores here to scorch anyone who breaks these simple guidelines for quality non-stuff drama. There's been a few more newbies coming in then usual, naturally the handicapped ones don't belong here and should go stuff up some other less useful section (like CD). Only the ones with the hardiest constitutions should be allowed to stick around. This is drama, gentlemen.

I am anticipating that the people that genuinely need to read this won't read it, or will read it but will give up by the time they finish reading the small text up there. That's fine, now you'll have an extra excuse for flaming them I guess.



There's also an intended bonus to this topic, that is a list of newbies idiots that are hanging around in the section stuffting up topics. It will be updated daily, the requisite to being on the list is basically being new here and is being an idiot, who cares if you're new anyways. I expect some debates over the second requisite but whatever. Go nuts.

List of people that should get out

- m4r!0 64 (hl2 fan)
- The God Block
- Annoying Orangehet
- Kiddman Jones
- Sirkilic
- thomas64
- Blueteamguy The healers killed him (in other words, he is banned)

List of people that want to be on a list

- IceBlue
- pixl
- Spaceblockhead
- Feep
- Jimmg
- Flying Ace

Off Topic / MIT youtube videos
« on: April 04, 2009, 12:01:53 PM »
I love MIT.

They posted recorded lectures online, free to watch. I don't know about say computational sciences, but the chemistry, physics, and math ones are excellent. For anyone wondering how college-life works or if you're just crazy keeners, I'd recommend these.

Off Topic / RE: MY HAMPSTERS DIED!
« on: April 02, 2009, 08:01:17 PM »
No seriously, don't close this. This is great, I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

The beginning

The end
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=64686.0

This would seem less humerous to some because you know, something(s) died and all that unicorn talk and it would be less funny in that case but this is literally the second time this has happened, this is no fluke, this is a curse!

Blockland is killing hampsters!

Off Topic / I admit it, I am a procrastinator in denial
« on: April 01, 2009, 11:30:48 AM »
After ample research through several articles on the subject of Procrastinating (Ironically as an excuse to procrastinate on much more urgent academic work) I've finally settled on the fact that I loving procrastinate. A lot. Even if I don't think so.

Wikipedia was one of the last places I decided to read, but it pretty much hits the nail on the head in the Relaxed Procrastinaton section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrastination

I tried several things to get out of it, even so far as deleting every game on my laptop, lending my DS to one of my colleagues telling him to seal it in a safe, not bothering to fix the PS2 and tucking the Wii in a box somewhere at my parents house hoping to forget it's exact location. This has helped a bit but I find myself often trying to re-fix all this stupid stuff whenever I have other urgent work to do.

Games are one thing, by far my worst enemy is the Internet. I can spend the entire day doing NOTHING on the internet, re-watching youtube videos and coming here to check up on things, going on somethingawful to check on things, rinse and repeat. There is absolutely no reason for not getting any work done, usually easy stuff I can finish in a flash. Sometimes I have very short reports due a few days in the week knowing full well it could take only 30 minutes to finish, but I procrastinate on it anyways and try to find other things to entertain myself with. The last time my internet bogged down on me I got more work done in a week then I could remember, until I got a hold of my DS anyways. Still, without the internet I actually became somewhat productive and proud of myself.

I've also tried beating myself up so-to-speak whenever I procrastinated on stupid stuff. That was the mindset I had for a good portion of the year but it only made me incredibly depressed and almost suicidal. I also noticed I secluded myself from others simply to avoid being judged. I then noticed this is reoccurring, because i also hate participating in any sport that requires some sort of assessment, not because I think people are dumb and can't judge right or anything, simply because I'm afraid of failing expectations.

My anxiety of failing is probably due to the fact that I make allot of inattentive mistakes in everything, I actually even have an error bar set to 25% of my mark on anything removed due to tiny stupid mistakes. I'm a last minute studier, but even then once the panick levels settle in I can get all of my studying done before a test. Most of my tests go very well and I never think I do anything wrong on them, sure one or two questions are shaky but the principle is correct. Obviously when I get my grades back with a C- I feel like utter stuff.

So there is a relation between the mistakes and the procrastination, where do my mistakes come from? forget if I know, I'm seeing a psychologist today about that and to get a complete assessment because it is apparent that I can't fix this alone. Procrastination simply overpowers me.



The reason I'm sharing this with you is to help you guys become aware of this. If you read that wikipedia article and you realize it's pointing out a stuffload of aspects about yourself, you might want to look into it. A good few people I know, especially my colleagues, are relaxed procrastinators. They don't hold off work because they're lazy, that's far from the truth. They are some of the most inspired people I know and most only want to partake in research professions rather then getting jobs for the money-hogs which are the industries (aka selling your souls to THE MAN!). Lazyness is the contrary to this, basically a lack of will to do things, like "what's the point of this?" line of thinking. With procrastination, you see it as important, you know it is in your absolute best interrests to do it, but still you simply hold it off for reasons you can't even explain.

Finally procrastination is common, and in many cases nowadays it's severe and needs to be looked after. I find that, academically, there is far from enough attention being put into it and that would need to change because your academic life really sucks when you procrastinate. If you procrastinate and you think it's getting out of hand then as I said, look into it.

PS while I wrote this I was procrastinating on working on an essay due tomorrow, just to let you know.

« on: March 24, 2009, 02:09:08 PM »

For me, a few I remember very clearly were:

- Commander Keen series (freeware now :D)
- Frogger
- DooM (still not freeware forget you ID)
- Jetpack (yeah that's right, motherloving jetpack, also freeware)
- Scorched earth (freeware)
- One Must Fall

Off Topic / Youtube thread
« on: March 22, 2009, 07:35:23 PM »
Might as well make one up, share funny/interesting clips here at your own leisure.

One cool tip, you can add a starting time in the address bar so the video will skip to that time if it's a long wait before anything interresting happens. You can do this by adding#t=[number]m[number]s, example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHCVoZmziak

now skipping to 4 minutes, 00 seconds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHCVoZmziak#t=4m00s

You guys could also play with the doubler feature. It allows you to play 2 videos simultaneously, like a music video playing to compliment some other video for example.

Aeris death + 2 girls 1 cup reaction

Anyways have fun

Games / Fansy the famous bard!! (A story of grief)
« on: March 20, 2009, 10:52:13 PM »
http://www.notacult.com/fansythefamous.htm

This is a story from an old and extremely addicting online game, pretty much one of the grand-daddies that created allot of limits in current online games to keep players from playing too much. WoW has nothing on this.

Anyways everyone's heard of Fansy, even my colleagues and one of them brought it up today while I was fiddling with my chemistry doodads in the lab. So thinking some of you hadn't I thought I'd share this amazing story of griefing and unconventional justice with you guys.

Some of the terminology's a bit wonky, so to help out:

SG - Sand Giant, high tier monsters in the zone
Train - "Kiting" a stuffload of monsters basically, in this game they also attack anyone they happen to bump into while chasing someone else.
Charm song - Fansy uses this game breaking feature to take control of something he really isn't supposed to later...


Feel free to comment and contribute your own grief stories!

Off Topic / My stats thermo assignment, the bane of sanity
« on: March 15, 2009, 06:02:11 PM »
This class' assignments were all beyond unfair so far, but this one in particular is just, holy stuff.



Keep in mind I have 100+ pages worth of notes from the prof himself and they do not elaborate on the meaning of any of these loving letters in any way. I'm not even sure what it's all about, looks a bit like quantum mechanical stuff but who the forget knows.

The other questions appear tame, which is great because I'm all out skipping this one. I'll check with my well connected colleagues tomorrow and see if I can get an answer from them.

Modification Help / Milkshape mirroring screws up shape shadowing
« on: March 15, 2009, 02:39:43 PM »
To help in an extremely tedious process a while back, I decided to duplicate and then mirror left -> right parts of a model. Hindsight shows this was a foolish, idiotic idea because now all my shadowing is outright forgeted up.

Here's what's going on, my model is a playerCharacter. It shows up fine in Milkshape, it's flatshaded, and there seems to be no problem. In blockland, some of the model's shapes are shadowed correctly, others have this wierd reverse shadowing, like you shine a light on them and the surface on the back is lighted up but the surface facing you darkens, it's forgeted up.

I made a topic about this before, and it fell in the water. I want to solve this because the model took a good 4 days of straight work WITH duplication and mirroring, I can't imagine how long it would take if I had to redo the entire thing without this. I also can't do anything else until the problem is solved like animation, since I'll risk having to redo all of them if there's any change in the original one knowing MS3D's sadistic humor.

Here's what it looks like in MS3D



And here's what it looks like in Blockland



Any suggestions guys?
