    Since EL will be eventually gaining archery as a new skill, something I think the game could benefit from greatly could be the use of 3D sound, such as the Doppler Effect for arrows that wizz by and miss (multiple sound files could be created to handle each condition instead of using a complex set of coding to alter the pitch of the sounds)

     

    a few ideas I have in mind:

     

    -Doppler effect

    fast moving objects such as arrows could have their wizzing sound have it's pitch altered to fit the direction of the arrow (IE: pitch lowers as the arrows moves away, and higher as it approaches)

     

    -High shelf cutoff for distant combat

    (this can be done with most music programs and many sound editing programs) each sound for combat would have alternate versions with a lowered cutoff frequency to give the effect of distant combat, or combat on the other side of a thick wall

    If a spell that ever disorients players or messes with their perception is designed, using these sounds in place of the normal sounds would add a nice touch, or even when a player is poisoned multiple times

     

    -Reverb/Echoes

    pretty self explanitory, could be done with a set of alternate sounds (higher quality, larger file size however), or by using the cutoff idea above and coding the echoes using the high shelf cutoff sfx

     

    -Sound delays

    Greater distance = longer delay before the sound reaches the player. Would probably be best for offscreen combat, weather, etc.

     

    -Invasion droning noise

    A low rumble that intensifies as you near the entrance to an invasion map, or an hot spot of enemies, could add a nice touch to the intensity of invasions. Could be just a single sound with some coding to control the volume in 5% increments

     

    many of these can be done with extra sound files (could be a extra download for the game, such as the music) and treated like eye candy option-wise.

    Great idea trollson, I love it. :)

     

    Edit: just imagined toads eaters fully bandaged at every storage. Bandages shouldn't heal from poison.

     

    Not even if I put bandages into my mouth and guts from the inside? :(

    Well one could argue that putting pressure on certain arteries could help the body filter it out *shrug*

     

    What next? Manufactured dialysis machine? Well, engineering skill is already present... :o

    BTW, I study medicine and I've never heard of pressing arteries/veins in order to filter anything. Either antidote/antitoxin or dialysis/complete blood transfusion. You have to neutralize the poison into harmless metabolite or get it out of the body ASAP.

    yeah I didn't make any sense rofl

    I spend 20 gc on the square vials, make the orange dye with stuff I've made, then sell it to tailorica for 25gc.

     

    now as long as I have enough food to keep me going, I can keep making them till thy kingdom come ^^

     

    edit: oh and all of the ingredients you need for orange dye are in TG, along with tailorica. Head into the caves and you can get the stuff you need for the water ess!

    I've been godless since day 1, and I've never reset my char and have been playing for years :o

     

    put it all into my will, so I get nice exp on anything low lvl, in turn meaning I get a huge exp boost on things I make en masse (I make just as much exp I get fighting with alch)

     

    godless has it's ups and downs, most people say don't do it but it's up to you. I'd only go for it if you really know what you're doing.

    Is a RL movie based on the game allowed?

    Anything is game. I place no limits other than it has to be EL related.

    edit: quick note, when the due date rolls around, if alot of people are still working on their spinoff or there are too few entries, I may extend the due date an addition 2-4 weeks

    I had set myself a goal, long before I had the means.

    I acquired the means & slowly worked toward it.

    Although I bought 1 item, I had several of the same item previously, and sold some for quick cash, so, essentially I still accomplished it.

    My moment occurred yesterday, when I was able to obtain full titanium armor, for the cost of $0.00 gc :(

    Pillaging KF? :o
