Gallery / Mini City (Futuristic...?)
« on: June 25, 2014, 08:14:29 AM »
Here's a mini city I started building yesterday. There aren't really any streets per say, just spaces between buildings. I think it looks pretty cool.

It's obviously not done, but what do you guys think? You can give an x/10 if you want, just keep in mind it's not done.

Suggestions & Requests / Set shaders to minimum with keybind?
« on: May 24, 2014, 11:35:53 PM »
Is it possible to create a keybind to turn shaders to minimum? When I'm taking screenshots with Port's shaders on, I get like 3 fps, which means turning them back to minimum can be a challenge.

If someone could make this (if possible), that'd be fantastic!

Help / Help eventing capture points
« on: May 21, 2014, 08:57:57 AM »
Ok, so I can't seem to find a working siege gamemode for slayer, so I figured I could event part of it. What I want is this: When the first 5 capture points are taken by team 1, (the attackers) the final point because visible and capturable. However, as soon team 2 (the defenders) takes back one of the first 5 points, the final point disappears and is no longer capturable. How can I event this?

Suggestions & Requests / Keybind to shut off chat
« on: May 15, 2014, 08:17:28 AM »
/title

It's kinda nerve-racking when my dad walks in and watches me play occasionally, I just have to hope he doesn't look at the chat. If I could just have a keybind to shut off the chat, this wouldn't be a problem.

Off Topic / Scam on Amazon?
« on: May 14, 2014, 12:30:44 PM »
So, when browsing through SCS's Software blog a while back, I saw a comment about pre-ordering of American Truck Simulator (ATS) available in the UK. Here's the link to the product on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/American-Truck-Simulator-PC-DVD/dp/B00HWPL2X0/ref=sr_1_1/275-5905974-1515127?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1400086651&sr=1-1&keywords=American+Truck+Simulator#productDescription

Now, notice that it's UK only, if you search "American Truck Simulator" on the US Amazon, you get no results for ATS, just ETS and other Europe based truck sims. Also notice the date of release for the pre-order, June 27.

SCS has specifically mentioned that they do not have a specific release date, and all dates are simply speculation.

Another thing is this:
Quote
In America, big is beautiful and the trucks you’ll be driving are no exception. With a selection of vehicles that are larger than their European counter parts, you’ll feel the raw power of each vehicle’s engine as you cruise down the wide-open roads and manoeuvre through densely populated cities.

 

This base game will continue to be expanded upon with future releases extending your Californian driving experience.  Unlike digital versions, this boxed version will include a serial key to allow the free download of American Truck Simulator’s Arizona expansion pack later on during 2014.

Notice those last two sentences. If I remember correctly, SCS said they'd be doing a Minecraft style release of ATS. This means they'd set the game up for sale, and at the moment, it would be just ~California. It'd basically be a beta. Then, as more of the map was completed, they'd set the game up for sale at its full price, and as they finished more of the map, it would be available for free to all who had bought the game. They never said anything about needing keys to download the rest of the map!

Then there's image used for it:
 
Let's look at other SCS truck simulator covers.

Notice a difference? All of these have pictures of trucks and other stuff in them. And in the lower right corner, it always says "Excalibur Publishing," not "Excalibur Simulator."

Now, the last thing that makes this look like a scam to me is the publisher. This is a small thing, and I could easily be wrong about it, but the publisher for ATS is "Excalibur Publishing."  If you search for "Euro Truck Simulator," you get it being sold by multiple different sellers, including "Excalibur/Merge," and just plain "Excalibur." Excalibur is the publishing company for Euro Truck Simulator, so this makes sense. If you look at the other things "Excalibur Publishing" is selling, it's a bunch of other, similar simulator games. Notice that a bunch have only a couple or no reviews? I'd think the publisher for such a successful game would have more reviews on their products. My point is, this could easily have been created outside of Excalibur Publishing, and used to sell stuff. Then they decided to try this scam.

So, what do you guys think? Am I just going crazy, or does this look like it could be a scam?

Off Topic / Motorola Moto E
« on: May 13, 2014, 03:54:10 PM »
As if the the Motorola Moto G isn't cheap enough, Motorola has just announced the Moto E. It's a $129 smartphone, unlocked.



It has a 4.3 inch display with a resolution of 540 x 960 (PPI of 256), protected by Corning Glass 3, a 5 mega-pixel rear camera, Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 200 with 1.2GHz dual-core A7 CPU and an Adreno 302 400MHz single-core GPU. One gigabyte of RAM, and 4 gigs of internal storage. 4 gigabytes isn't much, but this phone has expandable storage up to 32 gigabytes. It does not have a front facing camera.

The Moto E is running Android 4.4.2 with guaranteed updates.

It also will have swappable backs that will come in different colors, like the Moto G.

Off Topic / Chores?
« on: May 13, 2014, 01:41:21 PM »
How much work do you and your siblings normally do around the house?

My siblings and I; take care of our laundry (take the hamper down to the basement and sort it, wash our clothes, dry them, and put them away), we take care of the sheets on our bed, vacuuming (most of the time, sometimes one of my parents does it), mowing and trimming the lawn, cleaning the bathrooms, occasionally cooking meals, always cleaning up after dinner (it's supposed to be a job just for the kids, but my dad often starts doing the work and we have to tell him to stop, lol), and cleaning up after lunch. These are the things that we are expected to do, and often we'll get asked to do other odd jobs, mainly on Saturday when my dad is home most of the time.

Also, do you get an allowance for the chores you do? We don't.

So, I started this build several months ago, and today I finally decided to start it back up again.

So far, I only have like 40% of the exterior built. There's still TONS to do. The tower is approximately halfway as tall as it will be when it's finished, which will be around the height of 12 32x cube bricks stacked on top of each other. It's full scale compared to a blockhead. The actual tower was said to be around 500 feet tall.

I'm hoping to actually complete all of Isengard, but right now I'm just building Orthanc.


Dangit Gondor, why didn't you build Orthanc in white. >:(


My reference image.


There's an issue with the build at the moment where, as it gets narrower as it goes up, the space between the four sections gets bigger. It's supposed to stay around the same width. I need to fix that.

General Discussion / Georges' Fractured Tower
« on: April 27, 2014, 04:49:58 PM »

-What is Fractured Tower?
Fractured tower is a gamemode where you climb and jump your way to the top of a tower of platforms. Each color platform has a different meaning. Platforms disappear for a short period of time after you jump on them, so be careful where you land!

    -Dark green platforms: These launch you into the air. These are vital for reaching the top.
   -Light green platforms: These platforms do nothing special, you can jump on them once before they disappear.  
   -Blue platforms: These have either some sort of powerup on them. Powerups include:
      -Health: Boosts your health back up.
      -2x Score: Self-explanitory, you get 2x times points with this powerup.
      -Velocity: This will add velocity in whichever direction you're facing on a horizontal level. Can be good or bad, depending on how you use it.
   -Red platforms: These platforms will reduce your health by 10 HP, so watch out!

-Gameplay!
When you spawn, you will be launched upward, giving you a boost into the tower. Jump on platforms to reach the top of the tower. You will be given a spear, which you can use to kill other players, or destroy platforms beneath them, causing them to fall. If you are unfortunate enough to fall all the way to the water at the bottom, you will be launched upwards again, back into the tower. Killing a player gains you 5 points. If you get killed, don't worry, you have unlimited lives, but you will have to restart your ascent to the top! The first person to the top or the first person to 50 points wins.

-Pictures!

Suggestions & Requests / Look at a brick to add it to you brick list?
« on: April 25, 2014, 09:46:59 AM »
Can someone make a client sided add-on where you look at a brick, and hit a key-bind and it adds that brick into your bricks drawer thingy, or whatever it's called. The thing that's labeled 1-9, 0. This would be so useful when your building in detail and you destroy the wrong brick.
