Isn\'t it said somewhere on the website about races...?

Well anyway, there\'s no new races in CB, just a few different available genders.


Edit: Except Diaboli females.

Its on the main site... they listed the races available in CB on 2004.08.25 :

ylian male, dermorian male, stonebreaker male, stonebreaker female, kran, ynnwn male, ynnwn female, enkidukai male, enkidukai female.

The other races/genders will come later.

/me pulls the trigger.... his limp body falls on the carefully placed potion of resurrection just in time for him to pull the trigger again.

How long will later be?? If soon takes this long (lol).... oh god, where\'s some more bullets?



(On a serious note, dam, that means I?ll make a character, and have to delete him and start over! oh the pain! no offence to the dev team, keep up the good work! i love you guys!!!)

I propose a petition to get some more races in before CB is released, some people will complain it will set back the release, but its taken this long to get here whats another month (or two)?

Agreed i think the release should also be pushed back a little or you could release \"fake\" models where the closest racial match is used as the persons avatar until such a time as the correct model and abilities are availble to be used i  would ask the dev team to consider this seriously

It takes more than a \'month or two\' to make models.

You\'ll just have to wait and see what is in cb :)

i dont really care about the models, just the fact that the experience will be lost when i make a new charictor when lemurs do come out, and same for other people. personaly, I\'d rather be able to play with \"anything\" than to have to wait another month :D

are developper developping another race today ?

personnaly I\'m really happy cause I\'m a dermorian (eh eh). Yeah I know, I\'m lucky !

@Moogie : It would have been easier to find the mistake if you said female kran...

Post by: Moogie on December 10, 2004, 10:38:23 pm
I\'m sure more races are under development. :) Whether they\'ll be added to CB in the future, or held untill the next release, who knows.

Nope, all developers are sitting and roling thumbs.

Are you joking? Most of us are dedicating 100% if our free time here, and you\'re asking if it\'s developing? Hell yea :)

The thing is that every single model had to be remade since the switch to cal3d

Please reconsider what you are saying if you wish for \"anything to play as (unreleased species)\"... think of the unnervingly nice, realistic and pleasant-looking model that is in the CVS...

*images loads of brick-like creatures populating Yliakum and runs off, shaking from hysterical laughter* :D

@ Androgos: I think fken\'s question was whether currently, in the CB testing phase, there is modeling of new species going on, or if this has been halted in favor of smoothing out the current models and maybe adding more monsters and items. Same for the rules department. After all, it\'s not just the model that has to be done, it also is animations, rules for the specialities of the species, and engine tweaking to make the model and animations fit the environment (I imagine dwarves floating above the ground, or mugs not fitting their hands, or floating above them, or, or, or... things like that. :) )

IM HUMAN TILL THE END BABY!!!!!!!

But i\'ll try some other races heh heh heh

I wounder if different races will have different armour??? That\'d be cool
Title:
Post by: Seytra on December 10, 2004, 11:48:35 pm
Yes, having race-specific armor and clothing would be cool. Honestly, I can\'t see an Enki walking around in Kran armor. Also, a Kran would have a hard time fitting into dwarven armor.... not to mention the Klyros... if any race, they would not be able to use any other species\' clothing and armor, except helmets. Hell, they\'d even have problems fitting rings on their fingers since they are webbed, just as the Nolthrirs\'! They\'d also not be able to use the same tools easily, at least scissors would be a problem, again due to the webbed fingers. Other species would be able to use the special stuff, though it\'d look dumb, or might simply not be able to be affixed properly, if it makes use of the special properties of the races. :) In fact, I\'d even wish that clothing and armor wouldn\'t be usable by the opposite gender if it realisticly couldn\'t!
