Roja Report post Posted September 16, 2006 9/15/2006 Started to fix up the house textures that looked like crap. I can't really change the models for 2 reasons: 1. We'd have to fix up all the maps, and in some cases that means make big changes. 2. The only way to really fix them to look nicer is to add more polygons and MORE textures, and that's never a good idea in a game like this. So I just fixed up the existing textures to look nicer: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/ffle...setextures1.jpg In answer to your questions: 1. Never ask me when something will be in the game. 2. Yes we can use the auto update feature for some of this material, but generally I don't like to do that, and instead wait for a client update. 3. No the white horns are not in the game now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnTheWarder Report post Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Maybe someones job should just be to keep cleaning up textures and objects? So you can have some more time to do more updates.(Let me rephrase that, I mean like 100% new like new Monsters and Weapons models and all that good stuff.) Everything looks great so far.

emajekral Report post Posted September 16, 2006 Nice. It's the little details that make all the difference. I like: - the visible mortar - doorframes - specular 3D look for doorknobs - better inset look for window panes This will help. Good work given the constraints.

Roja Report post Posted October 7, 2006 10/7/2006 Lately I've been doing a lot of map fixing and object fixing work, so nothing too exciting. The new maps & map retouching work will continue on until the update almost, so I will mainly be working on that. But I do have a few new cool things that I will do inbetween all that. And here's one of them, a Bronze sword: Bronze sword Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trollson Report post Posted October 8, 2006 Bronze! Love it, looks spot on. I'm looking forward to some classical bronze armour, it would suit me (though I probably wouldn't be able to move!) FYI: A bronze sword will dent an iron sword, its a harder material. Bronzer items, swords, are cast rather than forged. "Pulling the sword from the (casting) stone" may be the source of that part of the Arthurian legend. Bronze is lighter than iron, but casting isn't as effective as forging, so swords are thicker. The advantage of iron over bronze is forged weapons, better tensile strength, can be made longer (primary combat advantage). Suggestion: Bronze items have lower breakage than iron or steel, but cannot be repaired (don't have a damaged state). Great bronze swords become family heirlooms. Suggestion: Bronze items are more easily enchanted than iron; bronze is an ancient metal used in mythical times, iron has a reputation as a magic inhibitor (cold iron).

brein Report post Posted October 22, 2006 I always try be more honest than nice... I like almost all things what you done, changes are really great but i don't like only one thing... trees. New tree is great, but i don't like this changes: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/ffle...eforeafter2.jpg Mostly second and third tree. Why? Becouse after changes they are poorly, try do more leafs on it, should look really better after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Acelon Report post Posted October 23, 2006 The update today is not a downloadable one, so no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kl4Uz Report post Posted October 23, 2006 The update today is not a downloadable one, so no. Textures can be delivered through an auto-update, so technically it would be possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted October 23, 2006 Textures can, but the client cannot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Knight Report post Posted October 23, 2006 But Ent said there are going to be new items, so wouldnt it have to be downloadable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
