WIP: Syntyche's Cavern New Armor Meshes


SickleYield

Recommended Posts

...a fairly detailed project for vixyn on Canadian Ice (in case anyone was wondering, I think that's where you'll find all the girls that aren't here), so I'm not sure when I'll have time.

 

The shop has a nice atmosphere and a little mini-story accessible through letters the two shopkeepers wrote to each other. Hopefully people will like it. We'll see. Except for the atronach armor, which I had to make for just one sex because they're not my meshes, everything is for two sexes and all races.

 

Look for a release tomorrow, and I need beta testers to make me some better action screenies if anyone's interested in taking that on. It's going to be a big download because of all the new high-res textures, probably about 60 mb. On the plus, I'll be hosting it from my two subdomains, so no long queues or delays in download.

 

Thanks, all!

1: Aha --- going to join ASAP! :) Thanks ;)

 

2: Weepee! Letters! Sounds nice!

 

3: I want to be a BETA-tester -- if it's OK with you, of course! I've seen your question at the WIKI, trying to solve it. I think it's possible through OBSE, but I also have an idea of how to make it without. You would (probably, right?) want to make it NON-OBSE to allow not-so-great-at-installing-stuff-people to play with it.

Am I right?

CanadianIce is a little more friendly to WIP modders, too. More of the "how about in this color, too?" and less of the "forget that, make me a complete set of armor from a totally different game that only five people will ever use."

 

Sweet! I'll have a download link by noon today (Pacific standard time). I'll probably have to put it on your talk page at the CS Wiki and you can delete it after that, since I can't get to this site from work.

 

The relz links will get here last of all the forums I'm on, alas, because this one is blocked by my work censor and the others aren't. (I'm a naughty girl.)

 

It's looking like 70 mb. Ouch, and I deeply apologize to all those with dialups, but the textures just look wrong when compressed.

Want any help?

(I have dirty computer knowledge ;))

LOL

 

Nah, they already caught me once and I think they're keeping an eye out for any attempted proxy surfing or workarounds from my station now (strangely no complaints about the bandwidth hit, so I'm hoping they aren't noticing all the photo uploads). What to me is "trying to read a forum" is to them "hacking around the firewall" (their words), although I'm a haxxor like you're a Valley Girl.

 

And in case anyone was about to make the usual argument - though that seems unlikely given I suspect I'm the oldest one here - yes, I do get my work done. :)

The old "kings quest" games had a button. When you pressed it, an image of a excel spreadsheet appeared. It was called "Bossmode" or something like that ;)

 

Using proxys IS bypassing the firewall. Most proxys encrypt the data, which means that the firewall will NOT be able to filter out virus -- but I doubt you'll get any viruses from here (because, like you said, most users *including me* are aged 15 or below. 0,1% might have the knowledge required to write nasty things, but I doubt they'll use it. I won't, anyway. It's a complete waste of time, and might end up screwing your reputation ;)).

 

Work?? Ew... That's what the TEACHERS at school do :)

I could write nasty things easy enough, but causing them to infect stuff or transmit themselves is beyond my ken. And besides, were I to create a virusy payload, it'd do amusing stuff, like causing the display to be psychadelically-colored...

Sickle, will you continue the Syntyche story? In new series of armors, or quest/another mod?

Yeah. This forum is modified from a codebase that has been tested over and over again.

You have to be pretty lucky to find a hole in the code. I was referring to uploading a file :)

 

Lol, I've only written one. It was written in VBS, which has the two pros that:

It's easy and powerful. That all Windows machines running 2000 or later has the WSH (which runs the scripts) installed from factory/fresh install. And I didn't really understand C at that time.

It spread via available shares, only installed itself on machines whose name contained "PRMA"* (school prefix).

It was harmless, but caused the computer to say BLEEP-BLEEP-BLEEP with an interval of 0,3 seconds. The admin ended up removing the little "speaker" attached to the inside of the cabinet on all the machines. Maybe it's still there ;)

Well, better stop this talk, or continue it through email/PM. Mods tend to dislike this kind of chat (and it's completely off-topic, anyway ;)).

I did that once accidentally...it was a (C++) program that output, in order, every character from 0 to 255. I think I might have messed up the loop condition, so it kept repeating.

 

More on subject: Another tool that might look nice as a weapon:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billhook

 

Admittedly, it probably wouldn't be very effective.

 

EDIT: While I'd like to see pitchforks used, without a spear weapon-type, it wouldn't look right. Hoes could probably use the two-handed Blunt animation...

Hmmmm.

 

Do you want a billhook really? I could make one for the next update (or possibly the next mod). I'm hesitating between adding a few items and another merchant to the Cavern or just starting another mod for the spider-themed stuff and new robe meshes I'm planning on. (I've already started the male cuirass for the Tarantula heavy armor, a sort of wintry fur theme.)

 

If I were to make a billhook, would the consensus be that it should have a more worn/blackened carbon look, like the wikipedia picture, or a more shiny/fantasy/ornate-handled look like my other items?

 

I could make it a Mannaia of Last Resort and give it a black handle and a runed blade... Or I could do both. I hate to spend all the time to make a mesh and release it with only one texture option.

 

 

What say?
