Enjoy

Off Topic / It's official. Sega is a slut.

« on: March 13, 2012, 06:47:02 PM »

Sega whored themselves out to a Progressive commercial. What the hell? How does that even work and who is Progressive trying to appeal to? Sonic fanboys in their twenties? I'll never see Sonic in the same light again.

Creativity / LoZ MMORPG...Need hairstyles from the community

« on: February 12, 2012, 03:18:56 AM »

I'm creating a LoZ MMORPG and I'm in need of your creative pixel talent for some interesting hairstyles. Use any color you want as most hair colors will be selectable. Please use a bit of shading as to avoid a flat hairstyle. By submitting your edits you acknowledge that you are releasing any intellectual right to your design to be used in my game.

If I find your edit interesting I will send you a message letting you know it has been selected for the game. When the game is finished, I will figure out a way for people whos hairstyle has been selected to have something special in-game to denote their contribution to the game.
 I do not mind you posting pixel images 16x16 as well. Such as objects, floral and terrain.

All submissions of superior quality may expect inquiry of participation in art design for the game. You will be credited for anything you design for the games creation.
Right now it is just me designing and coding the game. With the addition of art I will be needing helping hands.

These are the player bases. Tunic and without a tunic, also with different face styles. There will be more in the future but I want to keep it simple for now. Keep the image 32x32, anything larger than that size will be ignored. 16x16 creations I will pay careful attention to.

One last thing When you create the hairstyle, please give it a name. I don't want to come up with names for your hairstyle. If it's a stupid name I'll just change it but I hope I won't have to do that. No aZn names PLEASE!!! We all speak english so let's keep our names cohesive.

Player base 1


Player base 2


The ones without the tunic are for those who want to design an outfit:

Player base 3


Player base 4


New outfit
Player base 5


Player base 6


My personal examples:

Fire Crotch (Capless)


Fire Crotch (Cap)


Pebob

Hopefully thanking those who actually help me out :).

Modification Help / [Tutorial] MilkShape 3D

« on: November 30, 2011, 12:21:03 AM »

Hey everyone, I decided I would start doing video tutorials for MilkShape for those new to the program. These tutorials can be found on my YouTube channel DeadFlamingos but you can also just click the links below.

I hope this will help people new to modeling get on their feet at a fast pace.
I will update this thread with new tutorials as I make them. If you have any requests or something you'd like to learn just PM me or post in this topic or in the YouTube channel on what that might be and I will gladly create a tutorial for it.

The first MilkShape tutorial teaches you the basics as we create the Hyrule Shield from Legend of Zelda.

There are delays due to a heavy workload. Expect the new tutorial before Friday this week.

12/13/11
It was tricky thinking up something simple that I could cover within a 3 segment video. But alas, here it is.

I will upload the video sometime soon. This video will go over making the bunny player, as well as animating it.

NOTE: If anyone has followed this tutorial could you please post a picture of your model? Maybe you took it a step further and did something different? I would like to see it.

Off Topic / Happy Birthday Rotondo!

« on: November 15, 2011, 01:29:07 PM »

My twin test-tube brother.. we are 23 now!
You were always the friendliest person I knew:


In our spare time, we would find kompressor and hunt for the big one:


I was even there when your skin fell off! Remember how terrified you were?


That was just the beginning. Then you caught the zombie infection and ate yourself:


But since I couldn't have just left you like that I saved your heart!:


And your brain....:


And had them surgicaly implanted in this creep bear:


I know it was risky, and now you like to stalk and molest... but you had to see you're 23rd no matter the circumstance! Happy Birthday!

Modification Help / LH Skybox Resource

« on: October 31, 2011, 10:41:55 PM »

Hi.

Hi, like many of you, my first mod of Blockland was a map. As I became more intrigued in map making I found myself scowering the depths of the web for unique skyboxes that could set my map apart from the rest. The unfortunate logic behind this is, if you found something on the web, so did someone else.

I've decided to freely give out skyboxes I've created to the community of Blockland.

Yes, score!

I hope this will help break up the monotony of BL maps and introduce us all to interesting environments through your works.

To use, just place the folder in

"base/data/skies"

and reference the resource.dml file in the map folder.

An example using the ClearDay_Sky would look like this

"base/data/skies/ClearDay_Sky/resource.dml"

ALL WORK IS IN 1024 x 1024 RESOLUTION

Lastly, I will update this post as often as I can with new Skyboxes.

You're welcome.

Creativity / More of LoserHeros Music

« on: October 12, 2011, 04:00:00 PM »

Title says it all. All of these songs are a work in progress but still I think they are worth listening too.
Eventually I will post up the finalized versions of them. I have a ton of more music however the website only allows under 20 so I decided to post the WIPs.

Here is the website, go over and give them a listen and comment here. Or there? I don't care.

New song added: Amber

Lyrics:

So much for plans they're just in the way.
So what if I wake up late the next day?
Don't stop me if I've set my sites on this,
Just clutch my heart and send me on my way

Oh Amber

I'm caught off guard.
I'm stumbling in my steps.
I don't know how to act; don't know what to expect.

I hardly even know you,
but still I cant resist.
You stole my heart and sent me on my way.
 
I've held my breath for so long,
Just to meet a girl like this.
My body wants to exhale and breath in your bliss.

I lost my cool in the midst of the embers.
In my heart it keeps burning.
I won't forget september, oh Amber

There will be more once I finish this tomorrow :)

Let me know what you think

Help / Blockland locks up when starting an Internet Server

« on: February 27, 2011, 10:15:00 PM »

Well this is very strange. Sometimes when I start a internet server it loads right up with no problems at all. Now however, I can barely start an internet game. Blockland will quit responding and the console will list a bunch of UPnP desc:'s. Here is the console log.

Creativity / LoserHero's Music

« on: February 13, 2011, 02:46:05 AM »

I posted a thread about my music long ago and since then have vastly improved so I suppose a new thread is needed.  Anyways how this works is I post my music, you listen and tell me how awesome I am (just kidding I still suck :D) and I post tabs /lyrics.

I play guitar, bass, drums, and I also sing believe it or not. Most of my music genre is within Alternative but I do dabble a bit in rock as well and experimental. This song in particular is Alternative.
 Anywho, I just got out a bit of a demo tonight that I'd like to share.

DO NOTE THAT THIS SONG IS UNFINISHED
It's .wma because those files are much smaller than mp3

Song: On The Way Down

Lyrics:

I cannot spare another moment.
Another close scrape in this life.

Please just give me one more minute.
I swear I won't waste it -- this time.

It's all down from here.
From the clouds and we're afraid we won't ever fly.
I'll catch you if you fall down. So don't tell me you won't even try.

Use all my courage just to take a step, and I take a breath. And turn to you
Cling to the past where my heart is kept, and my regrets. So hard to tell you.

It's all down from here.
From the clouds and we're afraid we won't ever fly.
I'll catch you if you fall down. So don't tell me you won't even try.

Because girl, I'm at rock bottom with the clearest view of the angels -- holding you tight.
And if they dare to let go of you, I'll be that promise that still holds true.
Just promise back that you'll return to the sky.

I cannot spare another moment.
Another close scrape in this life.

Tabs:

Verse:

E|--0-----0------0-----0----------------|
B|--0-----1------3-----3----------------|
G|--0-----0------0-----2----------------|
D|--2-----2------0-----0----------------|
A|--2-----0------0-----0----------------|

Bridge:

D--2------0----5------5-----------|
A--2------------5------3-----------|
E--0------------3-------------------|

Chorus:

B|--1----3----3------3----------------|
G|--2----0----0------2----------------|
D|--0----2----0------x----------------|
A|--x----3----2------x----------------|
E|--x----x----3------x----------------|

Sorry guys, draw back about tabs is you'll have to listen to the song for the strumming pattern.

Modification Help / Medieval Misc Pack

« on: September 17, 2010, 02:40:05 AM »

Medieval Miscellaneous Pack

I'm 11 and what is this?

Yes. For the next few weeks I would like to practice my modeling and animating since I haven't created anything in quite a while. I don't mind if it already exists, so suggest away and I'll pick and choose ideas I like most. There is no release date for this because I've got a lot going on and this is just a side project or hobby I've decided to begin.

As of late I've been modeling for DRPGomg what is that?! and I will show case those
among other things as they are completed. Keep in mind this is a pack and I won't be releasing each weapon or item as a stand alone add-on. With that out of the way, I'd like to set a format for your suggestions.

Please follow this format. If they are not in this format I will simply ignore the suggestion and or request.

CORRECT:

Category: Weapon
Name: Excalibur
Type: Sword
Description: A one handed sword that is quite large. -extra detail if need be-
Purpose: To kill other players.

WRONG:

Hi Losarhero I was thinkin somting that culd be used like an axe!!! and u can make it swing both ways pleas cuz  if you do!!! oh i fgound a pictru of it!! -stupidweapon.img-

This only applies to suggesting new things. You can leave suggestions on finished models in any way, shape, and coherent/legible form.

Sometimes models will be updated throughout the process so do not be alarmed
if the image changes from time to time.

Weapon List
1. Beginner Sword
2. Falchion
3. Battle Axe
4. Staff
5. Bomb
6.- - -
7.- - -
8.- - -

Modification Help / Flat Shading in MS3D

« on: September 15, 2010, 03:06:33 PM »

I give up. No matter what guide I follow on the forums it always fails.

I've been doing these steps to flat shade my model:

1. Select all faces
2. Unweld
3. Uncheck Auto Smooth
4. Tile Texture Mapper (Tried Planar and Cubic default settings)
5. Weld Together
6. Export Torque DTS Plus with LOD 0

I've tried every method I found on these forums. Some wanted me to assign smoothing groups
and other required me to do the same 12 steps over but in the end when I spawn my model, despite
my efforts, it remains smooth shaded.

Help?
