A powerful sandstorm blew through ojaveda today, knocking over people, sending carts flying and bringing down framerates!

I\'ve got to ask: was this just a graphics glitch, or an \"actual\" meteorological event? If the former, then \"cool screenshot\", and good job on coming up with the sandstorm explanation.
If the latter, then I am really impressed! What\'s next, earthquakes?
-
I think the latter, because it came before the rain started, got worse then lessened as the rain picked up
-
That\'s great!
I know some people don\'t like weather for lag-related reasons, but I think it adds so much to the realism of the world, that I love seeing it (plus, I haven\'t had lag problems the few times it has been raining). More atmospheric effects means a richer gameplay experience, a more complete world, and a better environment for roleplaying.
-
look at my framerate :P
-
nice, reminds me i still have a blank BL though :/
-
i like the weather as well. the fog is a lovely thing to see... though that rain can be a problem. do you have any idea how long it takes me to fix my fur after getting caught in a storm!?
-
That is awsome...although it would take a week to clean the sand out of your equipment...

Oh that would be so c00l.
In the year 750 of Yliakum the stalactite has broke at its base and fallen down through the huge cavern below, creating a huge crater and thus ending all forms of life which existed in it, due to medium earthquake.
-
That pic is completely realistic and the neatest one I have seen yet!!! I wish I was there when it happen.
/me is green with envy :D
-
I spawned into that and was thinking it was another glitch. I couldn\'t see anything so I left it on and watched some TV. When I got back it had gone. I didn\'t know it was planned but I was cussing my PC as I have every day since discovering this game. Usually cause I get killed...I love this game...or love to hate it.
They should put crackheads on a PC with Planeshift. They get addicted to this, can\'t find time to smoke crack, can\'t buy a pipe from Harnquist or some rock. Walllah! Drug problems over.

Its just a color glitch, she probably logged in there and the colors were screwy, I mean...Look at my Hydlaa screenshots :/

Theres just a new color glitch system that makes things visible, but still has screwed up color...A failed attempt of a fix, I say
-
Actually Suno, it was done on purpose.
-
Yes I agree. And amaizing pics Suno =P You reminds me professor which teach my group and which burned a CD with shortcut to this what he was going to show us. And then he was asking why it isn\'t working when it was working on his personal comp.

Suno_Regin,
You are now officially on my hate list X(
Cant believe you stole my Screenshots and named them as your own.
Don\'t believe me?
Look at the shortcut list, why would a non-gm have those shortcuts? X(
That Enki is my RP char Ecolem with my 2 daggers and the Klyros is my GM char...cant get much red handed then that :evil:
-
I took them
-
lol, suno you are on my \"deceptively stupid\" list. See, he made a like to his screenshots of \"file://localhost/c:/Program%20Files/PlaneShift%20Crystal%20Blue/screenshots/shot04.jpg\" which would work for him, but no one else. However, for some people, that link on their own computer actually points to screenshiots that they took.
I guess this is the point that people slap their heads, and shake them at the same time.

Or it could be a clever guise to make people go \"omfg! those are my photos\" (worked with one person). Doesnt work for me though, because my default drive is F:\\

*points at Suno and Ecolem and laughs his arse off*
Nice weather, blueCommand ;] Now when are you going to give me gm9 so I can do that? :P
@ramlambmoo: I have it in /opt/planeshift :D linux for the win!

I would - if I could; but I don\'t own your private harddisk:
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\screenshots\\shot02.jpg
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\screenshots\\shot03.jpg
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\screenshots\\shot04.jpg
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\screenshots\\shot05.jpg
Upload those pictures to a webspace provider, and use internationally available URLs.
-
I actully dont find that funny
Just next time if you are going to use MY screenshots (i dont even remember uploading them...gives me ideas that makes me wana change my names to all my screenies) at least say \"Thanks Ecolem for your wonderful screenshots\" :rolleyes:
-
dude, he didn\'t steal your screenshots...those ARE your screenshots. Right click on the picture, copy image location, and past it some where. It\'s calling the direct file on the harddrive where PS screenshots are saved. I use linux so it doesn\'t show up for me.

That\'s still called taking it...what ever you want to call it the fact is I\'d rather not have my screenshots posted all around.
This discussion about me is over, back to the Sandstorm :P
-
No, no ...dude
No-one else but you sees your screenshots!
He just copy-pasted a shortcut/link on his computer as a http link. And it just happens that on your disk you have a screenshot with the same name in the same location.
NO-ONE else sees them.
Us - Linux (and MacOS) people see nothing, because we have a different filesystem/directory structure. Windows people probably see each their own 04 screenshot (or whichever in line it is)
Ergo: He *DID NOT* post it anywhere
and *NO-ONE ELSE BUT YOU* can see them (=yours)
It\'s like looking in the mirror
\"Hey, isn\'t this picture handsome\"
\"Lemme see!\"
the first passes the mirror on - the second looks in it
\"God, he\'s ugly!\"
P.S. waits for the first dwarf to realize that the enki we\'re talking about is actually 3 feet high and looks surprisingly like him - of course, calling all of us delusional crackpots :]
-
ohhh...well i feel sheepish....sorry if i caused a big deal...
*Runs away crying*
-
I\'m not sure I understand the point of using image paths that are not online.
/me shrugs
The sandstorm pic looks cool, though. If it is indeed more than a graphics bug, sweet. Between the rain and that, I\'m impressed.
-
@ Ecolem:
It\'s ok *pat pat* Had to happen someday.
@ Stronith:
Me neither, but some forums/fora have an attachment module, so you can upload and post a pic at the same time. Aynway, it was a simple mistake, he probably won\'t do it again (and he\'s definetly not the first one!).
@ Suno_Regin:
If you don\'t have an access to a file server yourself, try using one of the many free picture/photo servers online ...I don\'t really recall all their names, but I think imageshack and photobucket are two of those. You usually open up an account there (for free) and upload/post your pictures there and then you can link to them anywhere (even Ps forums), since they\'re on the \'net now. That should do the trick next time :]
Ok, now back on topic!!
Yea, the sandstorm looks great! :) A bit too great for a bug ...do we *really* know it is one?
-
Bug? Why - simply colored fog.
-
LigH if you had bothered to read the thread you would find it wasn\'t a bug.
Actually Suno, it was done on purpose.
-
its not a bug, what happened was that it was clear, then it got a little foggy (the fog is sand colored over there, which makes it appear as a sandstorm). After abou 2 minutes, it picked up to the point where you couldnt see 10 feet in front of you, all you saw was sand surrounding you. Then it thinned out to that level on the screenshot, and started raining
not a bug!

@ Watcher:
If you had bothered to think about my reply, you might have imagined that I replied to this sentence part:

I know that it is not a bug. In fact, I said that it is no bug.
And, BTW: I am a programmer. I have experience in OpenGL programming. I own the \"Red Book\". ;)
-
/me brings this train back on topic and laughs some more at how stupid suno regin is.
the phrase to be used here is, Dude, you really do suck.
