I'm not really sure if this is a problem or not, but I haven't really seen any topics on it yet so here goes...
Whenever I start Planeshift and get into the world the sound usually works fine for a few minutes as do the graphics...
However, after those minutes the music just starts to skip (sort of on for a half second then off for a half second then on again)...
I'm don't really know what it is because the graphics work fine the whole time...
I don't know if this is common or not; are there any ways to fix it?

Some screenshots of ulbernauts from my first venture into the wild...plus a bunch of really good people hunting them.  (Note: I had no part in this action...I\'m just a crummy noob who likes to take screenshots)

A bunch of people in this one....


Someone gave these ulbernauts the slip...


Heroic charge of some sort...


Poor ulber is about to be crushed by shown large octagonal rock...

Whoa....

Really good rendering thingy, they look very realistic...

What\'s the lopsided steel snowman for and what does the hilt of the blue sword say?

So how many health points would a strong character have?  I almost always die when sliding and just want to know how strong I should be before i attempt to go  mountain climbing or skydiving or cannonballing without a pool or something.

Weapon Name: Winder disk

Description: a round spiked shield mounted from the wrist on the baskside of your hand up to your elbow.
Under the diamond/steel/metal shield on one side is a spring based winding mechanism with a gear  that will gradually store up potential energy.  When the gear clutch thing is let go by the user the mechanism will unwind causing the mechanism to rotate rapidly.  Holders attached to the spinning mechanism holding any useful throwing items (poison daggers or darts) will hit a specially lubricated board while spinning and then slide off of the holder and in the direction the board is pointing to, causing a sort of rapid fire effect.
Size varies from user to user, the bigger the Winder disk, the better (more storage adn power)

Materials: steel, iron, stronger metals, diamond, anti -twist spring/ magic resistance field with spring like effect, ammuntion, and a good craftsman who can make sense of a ton a babble

Hands: 3 The mounted-on hand to hold the clutch, the other to wind and load. A third to taunt your enemy.

Damage: Majorly affected by the power of the spring, the amount of winding and the enemy itself.

Advantages: rapid fire weapons, good for doing immense damage at a close to medium range.  The spikes on the shield side could be good for damage once the launching is done and two small weapons could be drawn after use of the Winder disk (if there was a winder disk on each hand that could make four hits in combat with a whip of teh arms) The disk exterior could also be used as a good, although strangly placed shield.

Disadvantages: great strength would be needed an even then one would be slower in combat.  Large amounts of ammunition would be needed for multiple uses. ...and then there\'s the problem of who would make such a thing....

Here one of the most horrid excuses for a rough drawing ever.  Hope it helps...somehow.





Note: I am sorry if this shows any similarity to the Poacher\'s Web, I thought of this weapon before I read about the Poacher\'s Web and didn\'t think that I\'d run into something quite as similar.
