  1. I know that it takes alot of exp and research to construct a typical in game weapon...but..what if players could make crude, weak, but easy to make weapons? Like for example, put some of those sticks to use and a log and you can put together a makeshift staff. Would be pretty weak of course, but not as weak as a bone but not stronger than an iron sword. These would be great manufacturing too, good for low level players so they won't be *ahem* "boners" for long and would make the game a little more true to life-anything is a potential weapon (woohoo for one of my old game concepts!)
  2. Face Edit :)

    I think it would be useful but yeah the $5 thing. Just wondering, maybe there could be a contest sometime for people to make some new character faces/clothes, top 10 get in the game or w/e. It'd help diversify things a bit and get some of the community more active
  3. Condition

    This is really up to you guys whether this is a good idea since it's normally random chance for stuff to break. I think it'd be convenient if you could have a Condition level that lets you know when an item is more likely to break, IE: a brand new sword has an extremely slim chance of breaking, but as it gets used more and more, it deteriorates and becomes more likely to break. This could also maybe add in a way to repair your gear with a hammer and an iron ore, which could improve manufacturing skills.
  4. Condition

    The system doesn't have anything like a condition level. Each type of item just has a % chance that it could break. It might break right a away or weeks later. Repairing isn't in except to use Tankel to help remove some gold from the game. Of course, he might wreck your items as well. If players could repait things, other ways to remove gold would need to be added. What I mean by condition is that the condition alters the chances of your gear breaking, so it's possible to break a weapon at 100% condition since it's just the same random chance but less likely
  5. Pets

    Not really a pointless skill to begin with Kill the ants with em lol...j/k, I actually use summons for gathering furs though, helps when you don't have to click madly only find out your out of range of a fox or rabbit.
  6. werewolves

    well I guess I should show u a very poorly rendered pic of what I'm saying by anthro...let me remind you, poorly rendered lol. I just started screwing with tectures and changing colors to make it at least look vaguely like my idea... *I'm colorblind btw, don't yell at me for color errors*
  7. Strange weather!

    I'm not in the city, I'm over in the Warren County area in the northcountry, but yeah I havn't seen a snowy thanksgiving in probably 3 or 4 years here
  8. werewolves

    I expect that it'll be into the form of an animal completely. 1) this is easier. we already have the meshes. 2) you can use this to try to move around in PK maps without being attacked, or to spy on people in other places, etc ^_^ To me though, I'd kinda find it wierd if they changed directly into the animal. That and if you think about it, you can still be equipped with your gear if you're char becomes anthropomorphic, and not to mention it'd also make the game a little more diverse, something that anybody likes in an RPG. That and it could be animated better too, having particles appear when you do it looks better if you have fox ears and a tail after the effect (IE) than suddenly being a fourth of the size. That and it could also be added directly onto the character's mesh like armor and clothes can be vs changing the mesh altogether, which I could imagine a few bugs arising from. That and I'd rather see players recognizable as themselves in their shapeshifted form instead of them just being an animal.
  9. werewolves

    Just wondering, what do you guys plan on making them look like? Is it going to be like transforming into the animal or becoming anthropomorphic? (I'd personally like it to be anthropomorphic)
  10. Pets

    That'd be pretty cool. Then maybe you could buy like pet-specific items like maybe armor or something of the likes, to like reinforce them
  11. werewolves

    My new specialization instead of summoning When do you guys think it might be added in? like in a few months?
  12. nonsense flash movie

    It was a funny song but I was bugged a bit by the animation...then again I'm a flash animator so I get driven crazy by anything poorly animated still, wicked catchy and funny song
  13. Fursona

    http://www.halobabies.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11205 also made it my avatar. If you don't know what a fursona is, it's basically drawing an anthropomorphic version of youself, pretty fun to do and I find it more fun than drawing a regular portrait (because you aren't really guided by alot of rules of proportion and what has to be there, it's very freestyle)....and because my ability to draw anything human is about my ability to cook an egg on a sidewalk....in northern Alaska.
  14. Fursona

    I shave but it just takes over! *gets smothered by chops*
  15. Strange weather!

    Here it's just alot of snow out of nowhere, and seasons literally changing overnight. I remember in September there was one day, 80 degrees F, next day was 35, tops. That's over a 40 degree change over the course of less than 12 hours, very strange.
  16. werewolves

    I'd personally think of it more like them being anthropomorphic and just ending up furry with the ears and tail and perhaps some markings on their face and whatnot, unless perhaps there could be a couple different varients, which would be cool
  17. Roger Roger

    http://www.halobabies.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10436 Just my little comic series I do on my spare time. The ones here are just a couple of them, I must've made over a hundred by now (literally) but I keep the most recent ones on HBN. I just added a new one earlier today.
  18. little_fluffy is a liar

    if I catch him online I'll try to scam him into giving your stuff to me for something stupid like an iron sword or a potion. If I pull it off I'll let you know and get you your stuff. and btw, technically scamming an outlaw would technically make me a benevolent Rogue...lol
  19. I just got a new pc (800mghz woot, better than my old 300mghz) and I'm having a few issues with the game that are preventing me from playing. The first issue I had was no transparency but I dealt with that with a new gfx card, but that's not the problem. Right now, the game is running at 1 or 2fps, not loading mesh textures, and the loading screen seems to be burned into the game screen unless you refresh it 200 times. It's telling me I might need new openGL hardware but I know the hardware on this pc is up-to-date, unless I need to update it (which I've been looking for but can't find a driver update for it). Let me know what I can do to fix this, it's preventing me from playing
  20. EL Mechanima

    I feel like making a funny mechanima movie using EL as the game I'll be basing it off of! I'm going to start making it tonight and hopefull get it done soon! If you guys have any funny idea or want to help, let me know, I'll be recording it in game but all the names, health bars, chat, ect will most likely be off so nothing interupts the recording. I'm going to be doing some funky stuff with the camera views in the game, so it can look like something from Rooster Teeth's Red VS Blue or PANICS (www.redvsblue.com)
  21. EL Mechanima

    OK! I have 3 minutes of this recorded right now. The plotline is pretty silly but funny, it's about a ninja farmer lol...
  22. fluffy?

    LOL, gotta love it! Even though the joke originated from god knows how long ago in a Monty Python movie, it's still hilarious (gotta be my favorite scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail..."It's just a little rabbit!" *walks over to rabbit to kill it* *decapitated* King Arthur:"JESUS CHRIST!!!!")
  23. The Dogpile

    I've tried this in a few other games before, it's strangely pretty fun Basically, the whole idea of this is for tons of people to leave random items at a certain meeting place, which functions as a mixture of just for fun to see what happens and also a service for newbies who need some of the basics. It doesn't have to be anything special being dropped, all that's really asked of is maybe some clothing, furs, bones, essences, or just something that a newbie could use, nothing big. The place I've chosen for this is the bridge on IP, somewhere where anybody can get to. So anyone wants to support this, head over to the bridge, leave some meat, a few bones, whatever! Don't worry about dissapearing bags, once enough people know about this the bags should be frequented enough where they should stay. :lol:
  24. The Dogpile

    Well nobody really knows where the anthill is and it's bot run, this is really just more for the players and is completly run by the players... OMFG. It just hit me that the damned ant bots are probably going to swipe up all the bags we leave on the pile......aaaaaagh :shame:
  25. Tetures not loading, low fps [SOLVED]

    OK! I got this fixed finally. Tried all the ATI driver updates I could find but none worked and I felt like an idiot earlier when I was looking for the CD to Adobe Photoshop. All of a sudden this big red cd pops up in the drawer "ATI TECHNOLOGIES-Rage 128 PRO Ultra4XL" rofl game works now and runs pretty good, I'm impressed by the graphics now
