Lexi Report post Posted July 14, 2007 We've just had a bit of a discussion about all this on @@4 in-game... So now I want to make sure... The GMT times are correct? That means it starts in about 2:20 from when this message was posted? Some people are confusing UK time (which is daylight savings adjusted) with GMT (which isn't) and think it's in 1:20. I believe it starts in APPOX half an hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 14, 2007 I believe it starts in APPOX half an hour.In that case, the posted times are wrong, so it'd probably be advisable for someone to try to get a mod to announce it... But on the up side, being earlier than was stated means I'm more likely to be able to stay for the whole thing As for the times thing... UK time has daylight savings. So it's currently 17:35. UTC/GMT does not, and is currently 16:34. That's correct as of the time I posted this message Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexi Report post Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) I havn't seen any announcments yet... so I could be wrong... I thought my time was -6 GMT, but I am also being told it's -5GMT. Either way it starts in 15 mins or 1 hr and 15 mins. Next time, it would be grand if a clock can be put on the Event's Website, there is CountDown clocks that are available for free.

Lleumas Report post Posted July 14, 2007 The even was great. I do hope you do it again, and the fireworks were amazing Sure they will get better as more effects are added to the game too. Below are the pics i took during the fireworks show for those that missed it >_< 9 fps ... gosh. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/gam...3/Untitled8.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/gam...3/Untitled5.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/gam...3/Untitled4.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/gam...3/Untitled3.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/gam...3/Untitled2.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/gam...i3/Untitled.jpg Would have had more, but typing #cls and pressing print scr at the same time proved a challenge ;P Not my finest Screenshots of all time, but it was fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sora_barzahd Report post Posted July 14, 2007 'Twas an awesome event from start to end. The fireworks show went a lot better then I thought it would. I was expecting massive lag outs, but only a few did. There were even a few commercials. I'll post the ones that I saw. "This was sponsored by the Draegoni Race." "We're slowly taking over!" "Lumino 4 President" "This fireworks display is sponsored by The Gnome Freedom Fighters, 'Stop eating us!' Smite-Co, 'So easy, a Dwarf could do it,' and The National Mage Service, 'Harry Potter ain't got nothing on us!'" "Storm_Shadow's story was brought to you by Storm_Shadow, "We don't use gnome slaves for labor " "<name's> win is sponsored by Dung Co. "We make our own..well, you know.." "This contest was sponsored by Gnome-Cola. "We're better than Draegoni Pepsi, and we know it " EL is sponsored by Radu, "You obey, you Ok" And the last one: EL sponsors this contest. "We pwn that game with an -R- in it" All and all, It was a great gathering ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) I'm sure this was a learning experience for a lot of people IMO, it turned out really well. Right at the start I realised I could record stuff, so I quickly got approval from Roja to bring on some bots... unfortunately, it took a while to get them into place and all, so the first half hour is missing, but the rest was recorded from 4 places (of course, since the action was generally only in 1 or 2 places, half of that isn't too exciting). If anyone's interested, and can compile C++ (or has a friend who can), you can grab my movie server software and the movie files from here: http://users.on.net/~gingerman/el-vidserv-EL_gala.tgz Mind you, that's 2.5-3 hours long for each of 4 camerabots, and there was a lot of activity, so the files aren't tiny (a total of about 1400 KB in movie files. For about 10 hours, and with the quality you can get, that's pretty good! The code and the rest is only like 50kb, so the package isn't that large). There's a quick readme in there, but as long as you can manage to compile the beast, you probably won't have too many problems beyond boredom in the slow parts. It comes with the ability to pause (though no fast forward/reverse), so please make the most of it and pause in the good scenes, pan around (afterall, you use the EL client to connect to the movie server, you have no control over the character, but the camera is free to move), and take screenies to share! ed: The movies are all uncut, mind you, and I haven't checked over them to make sure there wasn't anything inappropriate said. Which there probably is. You'll see PMs between ttlanhil and the bots, and you'll see a lot of spam from players. If you do want to try this out, don't complain about what you saw (only give feedback to me in private or the movieserver thread in programming (I think) if there are issues with the server) ed2: If anyone feels like hosting the server, feel free. If so, please spread the word so other can see as well (my computer has the uptime, 1278 hours and counting, but I don't have a static IP or dyndns set up ATM). You'll just have to allow connections from the 'Net on port 1999 and explain to people how to use your server instead of the EL server. Scratch that! I've set it up on my own computer. Hopefully it'll all work fine (you can still download and play locally, which will give a terrific ping, but not needed). To connect, do something like: ./el.x86.linux.bin -sa=ttlanhil.homeip.net or edit your el.ini to use that server address. Once connected, use any username and password you like (preferably not your real password, since you shouldn't trust me as much as the EL server, but as long as your client sends the login message it'll succeed) ed: Now should work on port 2000, so only address to be changed to connect to movie server. ed: Discussion about the server should go over here thats what those camerabots people were Heh, yup!

frogimus Report post Posted July 14, 2007 <snip> Would have had more, but typing #cls and pressing print scr at the same time proved a challenge ;P <snip> A little trick I use to keep chat off the screen. 1. Put chat in "windowed" mode 2. Drag that window over to the brown frame on RH side of screen. If you grab it by the very edge of the top left corner, you can get all but the first letter of each line hidden off screen Also a good way to mute storage while you're mixing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted July 14, 2007 I just want to say thanks once again to those who hosted and put together this event! I can't be in charge of doing events and so many other things in the game all at once, so it's the players who have to take a step forward and make things happen, and you guys have certainly done well with that. It's these kinds of things that make the game & community alive and special. I hope there'll be more to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just go to the edge (of the white) and find a dot where your mouse cursor changes to a double arrow. Then click+hold and slide it towards the actual image... Can't get any easier.
