Very nice work, RuDDicK! Good eye for details!
She´s well suited for a mockup operation in the ice region. Can´t say that for the desert too, though! (;

@ Flix & MetaL
I assume you two won´t give him likes, hu?

Thanks all.
Dax, My wife has a home gym that I am using (carefully) but exercise and fasting will not help my diabetes while the other drugs I have to take every morning and evening are raising my blood sugar level. My diabetes specialist is considering adding further drugs to the metformin I am taking, but is unhappy about doing so as they could cause further complications, especially with my heart meds.
I hoped I could help a bit. I understand it is very difficult for you currently, getting battered by bad news without a break is hard to endure, but it is important to leave this "hole" where you are in at this moment. To be stubborn and to refuse to break, combined with a goal you want to reach, is a good start.
There will be setbacks, be assured. Shake them off and move on. Nothing remains but to clench you teeth! Go get them, podgie_bear!-

Hey Overlookers! How is it going? Heard nothing from you since weeks! Are you still alive?
I´ve found this video recently:
Do you know this guy?-

Won't be easy but I'll do my best I also have to look for a better photo editor. I don't know when will I be ready but I will come with the skin as soon as I can
Vilya, I really appreciate your enthusiasm, but please don´t work your ass off like crazy because of me. Do it your way and I´m very thankful, believe me, but as I mentioned before, it does not makes sense to get burnout and leave in frustration.
GIMP is a good editing program, is for free too, for up- and downscaling including some other nice functions, I´m using Irfan View, which is freeware aswell. Blender is a free 3d editing software, so to say the little brother of 3dsmax.
PS:
I saw a video yesterday where some of your skins have been ported to a polish Sacred fansite. Among other reskins from here. You might get more attention these days, if the website gives credits properly. -

Very well I can try but I make no promises which so you want that to be the daemon's skin right?
The Demon is still on my to-do list. Currently I stick to the Vampiress and try to make all sets useful, without repeating the same build over and over again. The skin I´m gently asking for, would be for the Vampiress.

It's up to them if they want to work with me or not I'm always ready to work with people things are much easier if people are working together... The problem is that I'm not really good at communicating and I don't want to disturb anyone so I only hope they will notice me and send me a message or anything. I barely started modding with Sacred and there is a LOT that I don't know yet some of those are very easy but I didn't bother to work with them like changing the portrait of a hero... Changing textures like the Wood Elf skins I gathered and recolored some I didn't change anything but recolored them so they looked different. Oh well I'm glad you liked it. Someone also asked that ,,what if I worked with Ysendra?" or something like that if she is willing to work with me I will be ready of course and do my best. And this time I'm asking you which character would you like to see with a new model/texture? I'm pretty much out of ideas...
Hi
I nearly overlooked your answer, it´s better to quote the former post.
Indeed! Getting things done together is far easier. A team that works together willingly can handle even big projects. No one can be forced to join a team, an open invitation should be enough for the beginning. Combined with screenshots. Eye candy is really important these days. Some will remain bystanders, some will join quickly, some a little later. Continuity is the most important thing of all, I´d say. If a project appears dead, the interest in it drops rapidly. Also, it isn´t important if someone is an expert modder or a beginner, we all started from scratch more or less. People here will lend you a helping hand willingly. You surely have noticed that there´s nearly no infighting here. A good place to stay.
In the first line I suggest not to drain your battery too much to prevent burnout. If I where you, I´d try to fool around with textures a bit. Shields, weapons, horses.. Just for fun. Nearly all characters got a freshup already and players are usually quite picky. Wait for Ysendra I´d say, then synchronize your work. I guess it makes more sense. Ruddick is very quiet unfortunately, maybe due to the missing HTTPS encryption. He doesn´t even uploads his images here. Besides, he seems to be a real expert. I´ll write him a message, as soon as Ysendra is back.
But to answer your question finally:
Bodhi from Baldurs Gate 2 would be very cool. Wearing a black body, just like the Demoness, and black stockings. That´s a quite ambitious project, though. Let´s see if can create an animated *.gif

Hi Uglukpvp! Nice to meet you!
Can´t speak for Sacred2, but isn´t Sacred1 far too unbalanced for a PVP session? I got the strange feeling, that some heros recieved more lovin´than others during the making of the game. Not to mention all the bugs that still lurk under the surface. In theory the right technique is to pick the correct class and to use existing bugs to your advantage in the best possible way.
Leaving you nickname aside for a moment, maybe a coop session is better for the beginning. And if the digital toons still want to bash each others head in, then so be it!-

@ podgie_bear
--- Please ask your Doctor if workouts are allowed ---
Last but not least, a very, very light training might be useful too. Gymnastics/Stretching while sitting on a chair, or, if you feel better one day, a very slight cardio-training using the Thera-Band. (Buy the original, not the cheap chinese copy and some talcum powder)
I´ll link some videos, they´re in german unfortunately, but it isn´t necessary to understand a word. Warm up before starting the workout, stretch the muscles before and after the training to prevent muscle-injuries. (Stretch a muscle for 20 secs, repeat three times.)

Happy new year!
Gave it a quick try:
That´s good work! Nice haircut! Haven´t you mentioned these days that Bhodi is on the list too? Wearing a black body and black stockings?But jokes aside. Don´t you want to team up with Ruddick and Ysendra? Ysendra told me she´d be back at the end of the month or so. Three modellers unite and getting things done. What do you think?
-
Yay!
I´m downloading it right now! Good work, Vilya!
Can´t wait to see the other skins! Keept them coming!

Hello podgie_bear
Did you try "intermitting fasting" already? Several medical studies have proven that it greatly helps against Diabetes. Gentle, but efficient weight reduction included. Less weight leads to a lower blood pressure too which always comes in handy. Especially if the heart is affected. Ask your doctor, before you start.
I know it can be very difficult to get back on your feet if you lay battered on the ground. The best technique is to stabilize first. Frome free fall to curbed fall. You also have to be honest to yourself. What are you still able to do? Answering unpleasant questions, facing them, can crash a whole week, but you´ll feel better later, especially if you focus on something. Concentrate, make small steps, climb up the ladder again. Slowly, but constantly. You set the pace.
Good luck and a happy new year to you and your family too!

I know the stories, Delta! and the videos. Apartheit is reversed, dreams are gone. With Mandela´s death the downfall began. SA faces an uncertain future. It´s sad that the people do not recognize, that they are getting played and heated up by the corrupt government. China is the big player and winner in the background.
-
Yay! And don´t forget to mention, that SA has far less hostile monsters, arrr I mean animals, than the most remaining african countries! Kruger is a rough place, though.
-
Three Billboards looks good! I shall watch it one day! I like movies where a lioness moves right in and crashes the whole party!
Speaking of Star Wars, do you notice that you, the fans, are getting dragged through the arena like an ox? I mean, the studio´s main goal is to squeeze as much money out of you as possible. Who´s next on the list?
-
I don´t got Sacred 2 and won´t buy it anytime soon, but I have to admit that you guys are doing a splendid job! Please go on!

Hi
Well, there´s nothing I´m personally after. I thought it´s a good idea to bring people acrossthe forums together. Upload what you want and what you see fit. My intention is to provide a large scale support for cubs, or players that take on the Vampiress for the first time.
I got a large collection of Vampire stuff which currently covers the levels 30 and 120. Level 70 is in the making, let´s see what the bravemart guys got for me these days! (; Sets and Set Weapons come in at level 120, 150 and 180.
I hope that more players chime in and join the show. If it takes a bit longer until more volunteers show up, it´s ok too. (:

There´s a mod for Freelancer? Really?
Gunning things down with the Skyblast B and the Alien Blasta becomes a bit boring after a while. I either wasted time in the Nomad secors until I ran out of supplies or roamed the jumpholes of the Outcast homeworld. Visited the Corsairs too now and then, but trampling their Titans wasn´t really challenging.
Fighting Outcasts and Gas Miners at the same time was brutal, adding the Bounty Hunters to the list too was a bit too much in the end.Is Discovery worth the effort?
-
Looks good! I know you still got a long way to go, but if world building is on the list oneday, I suggest to watch some Dungeon Siege (1&2) videos on youtube. The builders did a very good job back then. Good selection of colors and ambient lights, great landscapes too.
Thumbs up, good luck and Merry Christmas! -
Arrr, watch this video before boarding the Pequod, you scrawny Landlubbers!
Relax, the milk-shake machine didn´t work anymore @ minute 2.10, but the clever Captain found a
way to get the job done!Speaking of stormy weather, does someone know the movie "Deep Rising"? It´s a low budged, b-movie
slasher, quite self ironic and definitely good enough to waste some time!Here you go:

@Dax Is really eve that difficult? Well yes and no The thing with eve is there is so many ways you can play it And so many things you can do So mastering everything is gong to take awhile
So as long as your not a millennial that want instant gratification like Yesterday eve is a awesome game for you...
Thanks bhj, I might think it over. Don´t got time left currently, though.
I got "Freelancer" on my back, it´s freeware now by the way and definitely worth playing and the "X" series from Egosoft, games which are not known to offer the player a quick and easy start. I might check eve out one day! (:
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody! Celebrate with your family, your friends and neighbours. Eat and drink, have a good time, forgive and forget.
I wish you a rich and plentyful life, health and the strength to endure the burden, Fortuna forces upon you at will. Walk upright and tall, don´t bend, be a person of integrity with a good and kind heart.
Merry Christmas to all of you, wherever you are!-

I´d like to ask if someone is interested in creating some kind of backup characters, loaded with found, or bought gear for young heros.
An extra trader-character wouldn´t be necessary anymore, reaching a certain level is enough. Swapping items is easy with Sacred Reborn, or Thoriums patch
What do you think?-

The screenshots look good indeed! I remember when I played the X series back in the day. Too bad Egosoft screwed up over and over again. I heard it takes a while until you make your way in. Is eve really that difficult?

A lot of people watched your video(s) but only a few reacted at all. That´s sad. Maybe it has something to do with today´s sensory overload. People become dull, desensitized. Klicking their way through tons of glittering, colorful videos, movies and commercials, beeing half apathetic. The next video is just a klick away, the attention span is short. Hitting the download button without saying hello is as normal as turning on the light. Bad and ugly manners.
