Antitrust

Is there any list of rules about what clan members are supposed to behave like? For example my friend's clan on D2 has this: Are D.A.R.K members also supposed to always have tags on their char names? Maybe to represent the clan or something? Personally, I've been always uncomfortable to use characters with weird names. I feel that things like xxxevil_killerxxx take away the roleplaying aspect and immersion of games. It took me a while to somewhat drop real RPG names (in the end I managed to make characters like IcecreamKitten or now in Sacred Jedi seraphim, but that is already stretching my limits)...

Wow, nice collection The orange ring is an Epic item, and it's quite a piece

I'm using the ClamWin thingy. Never had problems, but I'm not sure it works effectively either. It did detect a nasty Trojan though

Happy birthday

Perhaps you shouldn't search in caps?

Poor gogo bit the dust again We were playing together in a bit high level game (monsters were about 6-7 levels higher than him). At some point I started to lag a little, my game became a bit choppy. One kobold champion got past me and murdered the dryad... It seems that monsters AI often targets weakest players/escorts. We should stay away from playing at big level differences (though 6 levels theoretically shouldn't be a big issue), or be extra careful if we don't.

No, the 19 one is softcore and never died. The one that died today is the level 14 reincarnation of Jedi seraphim...

Goddamit! How come I played till level 19 in softcore and never died?

Thanks for fixing that I also increased the cell width a little, to make it look less cramped.

I think there is a huge delay in the animation. It takes some time to enable the shield-mode. This reduces it's usefullness for me, but then again, I make my chars offence oriented.

Hmm does it really look like that? The tables are supposed to be like this: I'll try to fix it later.

Gratz /me tries to come up with a few really dirty titles for Genenut

We wasted quite some time on silly messages and stuff like that. What about skills? Like, one of the core aspects of the game? I didn't see any wiki page on them. Anyway, prompted by this Combat Discipline thread at SIF, I made this wiki page on the subject. Feel free to review, dissect and mutilate it... We can use that as a template for new skill pages, so it would be better if any formatting changes would be made to that first. Big thanks to Schot for showing how to make tables. I still haven't got the complete hang of it, but I could implement some basic stuff. I didn't go over the level 80 skill point to avoid clutter. Nobody really has that skill at such level, and won't have for quite some time... Plus, the diminishing returns will seriously kick in at that point, discouraging further testing So we don't really need full tables right now.

Pretty flowers

Here we shall mourn the fallen heroes Here we shall drink in their health (huh? ) Here we'll also provide support for reincarnation attempts, and plan our rewengee ~~~~~~ I present Jedi_Sera, an innocent Seraphim that was brutally murdered by some undead half an hour ago. Her owner should have been more careful when he left her all alone in the wilderness... Rewengee upon the undead and the owner are currently under development, any ideas greatly appreciated... Some pics from the final moments of her second life:

Yesterday his "tonight" was at approximately at GMT 1:00 iirc Tonight his "tonight" will probably be in about 6-8 hours from posting this message

It's a simple issue of rights vs credit. The rights belong to Ascaron, while the work of reassembling the map is credited to the person doing the work.

Try to upload it on Flickr. It allows much bigger file sizes than photobucket, and up to 100 MB of uploading per month for free accounts.

The problem with youtube is that it recompresses the videos... How do people upload their stuff without having it ruined? I made a mov (QuickTime) file this time (which is much better than other stuff I tried), but youtube still ruined it: I also uploaded it on the Vimeo site that you have in the wiki, with much better results: http://www.vimeo.com/2110526

Stamina seems to display some "average" bonus, every armor/skill seems to affect it... I'll check what the raw display is at various levels.

Quite interesting discovery Did you factor in that the Stamina display includes bonuses/penalties from armor?

Hmm can't we edit posts here? Seems that the above is incorrect. Ultradad posted a pic of an item that had two descriptions without a material. So items can have any combination of descriptions.

I tried saving in avi by selecting various codecs from a list, but the best I could do was 45 MB file size (or totally crappy quality). I then used Ulead Gif Animator to make the 5 MB mpeg clip that I uploaded to youtube and rapidshare. It was made like this: Capture in Fraps (25 fps) -> Cut useless frames in VDub, export image sequence -> Crop the frames in ImageReady -> Stitch the frames in Gif Animator for either gif or mpeg output. The slow motion is the result of the default frame delay setting of the Animator. I can change it to make it move as fast as I want, though (plus, faster makes smaller files).

This isn't working... I tried that program, but it keeps failing to convert, even after I close the error message. Anyway, I managed to make a semi-decent mpeg, and uploaded it on youtube: But youtube totally ruined it... Here is the original mpeg that I tried to upload (4,5 MB), much better quality: http://rapidshare.com/files/158717556/pelt...strike.mpg.html I think gif pictures are better, for the same file size.
