Title: Hovering Barrels
Post by: silvershade on August 27, 2003, 10:09:29 am

Ok now I think i have seen it all.

Walked behind the tavern and saw 2 sets of hovering barrels

first square flames and smoke and now hovering barrels.

This is starting to be my kinda game.

Hehehehe

Hehe, the hovering barrels are my fualt.  You see playing with a levitation spell is not a good idea...    :P

We all know about the floating barrels... I think the level designer must\'ve been high on something when he was placing those. :)

Hey Silvershade, if you haven\'t done so yet, I suggest you try to find a way out of the city (it\'s not har but it requires some trick jumping) and you\'ll see that the barrels are not the only thing that\'s floating in planeshift.  ;)

Everything that is \"wrong\" in MB I have the reson: Heavy Magic.

Speaking of that, it would be nice to see a city or location in the final version where everything has unusual properties due to excessive magic usage.  That\'s a fun idea :)

that would be really cool to see.

i have not yet figured out how to leave the city yet. I could use some tips to see some more unusual things

Hmm... A Magicio-active city, someone should put that in the Wishlist forum.

The best way (in my opinion) is to get between a sloped tower and the outside wall.

I have a certain spot I use to enter or exit the city. I can just take a flying leap and go over the wall. Never fails, either ;)

I had a thought on how to help to identify things like floating barrels.  In one part of the city you can fall through the floor a little bit.  It?s a bug reporting tool that reports your exact camera angle followed by the line of text you type in.

/Gbug I see a floating barrel.

This command would forward a camera angle matrix and ?I see a floating barrel.? to the game masters.

why not just take a screenshot?

And how exactly would you know where the screen shot came from.  Without the camera angle the rest of the information isn\'t worth much.  They have to know where to fix the problem not just a picture.

Another problem is screen shots take a lot of memory.  A line of text does not

thats good command to know hopefully i can remember it

Post by: Fish on August 28, 2003, 12:42:12 pm

Sorry there\'s nothing to remember.  I am recommending that the developers put this in and won\'t be implemented until they say so.  They may decide they don\'t like my idea.

oh well sounded like a good idea

Post by: Drilixer on August 28, 2003, 01:33:20 pm

post it in the official wish list :P

and by the way... I doubt the barrels were put like that accidentally... has anyone noticed anything odd about Hydlaa itself?  Theentire town is floating... you can go underneath it.

the devs have plenty of time to correct such minor stuff...

Post by: Drilixer on August 28, 2003, 10:14:08 pm

I think they just kept them seperate for organizational reasons

Title:
Post by: silvershade on August 29, 2003, 12:26:02 pm

i think they put them there like that to see if anyone was paying attention to the details
