The Hydlaa Plaza / Re: Remember when?
« on: January 01, 2012, 12:32:23 am »
Ah, well. I can't remember everything :) (I think I do recall that now, actually.)

I think everyone's just lurking on these forums because they've reached new levels of holiday boredom.

remember when you had to buy stuff with crystals... on a website? and there was no fall damage or any kind of damage at all?

I never made it to the big leagues, but I was dual-wielding mugs for a while. Did they ever add Trokin (of Trokin's Shop o' Stuff) as an actual NPC?

Remember when we were constantly at risk of "Falling off the edge of the world" and dying?
Remember the packet routing bug which made messages get randomly sent to the wrong person?
Remember the flight bug?

Good times, good times...

See, a lot of people are posting "that was before my time" and I'm sat thinking "God that was after my time...".

Same here, drey. We'll always have #planeshift-fans!

I don't remember any of those things... but I do remember when only the Hydlaa Plaza existed, and all we did was run around picking up crystals all day. That was my favourite version of PS. :)

Hi Moogie. It was my favorite too. Can I remove your site from my servers yet? ;)

"Early Modern English", actually.

Okay, my turn. Remember when you actually recognized most of the names in the nostalgia threads that showed up periodically? ;)

Also, did you know: back in Molecular Blue, removing someone from your buddy list when they weren't on it in the first place caused the server to spit out their character ID number. You could compare and see whose ID is lower to see who was the oldest oldbie!

I honestly can't remember how I found PS in the first place, but I've met some rather interesting people and I learned a little about a lot of things (3D modeling, UV mapping, basic C++, various web technologies, the intricacies of FreeNode's network services...). That's probably why I'm still around (sporadically) after seven and a half years.

May you continue shifting planes for seven and a half more!

The Hydlaa Plaza / Re: Image to text converter?
« on: March 12, 2008, 04:31:06 pm »
Hey fesfes >.>

The technical term for that kind of program is an optical character recognition (OCR) program. So you could use that as a start for your searches. I don't know of any really good free ones, but there are some commercial OCR programs that get advertised a lot in technology magazines and whatnot. Perhaps you could write it off as a business expense?

Watcher, perhaps you could use a different font for the block of text? Then it would be more readable and you could use a smaller size. With the smaller size, you could have more words per line (which helps readability, up to a certain point), and/or add more text. Just a thought that occurred to me while looking at it.

Well, I decided to make my own bookmark to promote the Devcast, using the PlaneShift iTunes dancers made by Karyuu for our header...

Here you go.


2" x 8", thumbnail at 72dpi and full at 300dpi

I didn't make a back, but if someone wants one there are two more dancers I could use..

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: no account found with that name
« on: September 15, 2007, 11:48:20 am »
Personally, I would like the forums to use the game server db for logins, but because of the way the servers are set up now that's not possible (or easy, anyway). http://www.planeshift.it/download.html does have a registration link for the Laanx server page, though. Glad that that solved your problem :]

Have you registered here, or just for the forums? Accounts are not shared between them (though, who knows, perhaps in the future they could be).

I made an "I'm with linkdead" shirt once. Bonus oldbie points if you understand.

The Hydlaa Plaza / Re: Favorite Music
« on: May 25, 2007, 03:17:27 pm »
Currently stuck in my head:

Hooverphonic
They're amazing and Belgian.
Hooverphonic - One
Hooverphonic - The World is Mine (Not really a favorite of mine, but the guy dancing on tables and between mirrors reminds me distinctly of Cat from Red Dwarf...)

Bran Van 3000 (specifically, Eek-A-Mouse's Go Shopping, though I'm liking the music of the second half of the double video)
Bran Van 3000 - Go Shopping / More Shopping (More Shopping starts at 2:30 or so)

Madrugada - Hard to Come Back (only youtube video I could find looked like it came from a cellphone camera, with audio quality to match)

Blanquito Man, Celso Pina y su Ronda Bogata & Control Machete - Cumbia Sobre El Rio (From the look of the comments, cumbia + mexicans results in some mixed feelings...)

Andain - Beautiful Things (Gabriel & Dresden Mix) (To be honest, I have no idea where it came from. It appeared one day in my iTunes library, and nobody remembers sending it to me)

Decemberists - Summersong (Yay, Decemberists \o/ This is the only video I could find, besides someone's WoW music video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCpaiZ2wPa4 )

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Any song by them is good \o/ Their cover of Stairway to Heaven is amazing. (For a video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNc5o9TU0t0 has good sound quality but is very quiet. There's also an official video for Diablo Rojo which is quite interesting and a bit different from the version on their album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KBgg-hrtyo )

Gotan Project - Criminal (Distinctly reminiscent of some melody in a game, but I don't know which...)

There, everyone go listen to those.

Development Deliberation / Re: First PlaneShift "DevCast"
« on: May 03, 2007, 05:23:10 pm »
To those wondering, Xillix will be reading the story of all five epochs from the setting's early history, and I'll post them individually as I fit background music to them (which isn't as big a delay as actually making time to work on it). So hopefully some time next week will see Epoch 2, but I make no promises :P

The next devcast will be another one by Vengeance about the PS engine, and should be up Real Soon.

Wish list / Re: lock on the use of tell when advising
« on: May 02, 2007, 06:33:47 pm »
STFRN!

Woah. Where the hell have you been?

@Miadon: I think it would be better (but not necessarily easier to make) to have advice sessions open new chat windows. Then you could type in those windows and it would automatically prefix with /advice and whatnot.

Pfft, who wants to listen to stuff about art   

On a more serious note, if there is demand, perhaps Cherppow and Gluonite and I can throw one together.

I demand! >.>
