Wish list / Re: Also notice distance on Y axis when fighting
« on: December 07, 2009, 08:57:14 am »
yes it's z in crystal space for altitude
Are you sure about this? CS 1.2 manuals talk about Z-axis to move the camera forward and Y-axis to rotate around to turn the camera left or right. To me it looks like the Y-axis is pointing up and I think it would be the OpenGL standard to define them so.

D) The random factors are far too high. If the chance of mucking up your blade at any stage are 10%, this means you have a 90% change of success (or at least not losing your work). Making a blade is five(?) steps that influence quality, so which means you have a chance of 0.9^5=0.59=59% of getting through without fouling up.
Random factors have another, more serious flaw. The server has only one pseudo-random number generator and by specifying that you should have 10% chance of mucking up your blade, the rule is applied to the large number of crafters, not to an individual crafter. If, for example, players A, B and C all start making a blade, they all together have a 10% chance of mucking up the blade meaning that out of 30 events there are 3 that would fail. Unfortunately there is no rule saying that the failures should spread out evenly to all the players and the player A may get all 3 failures leading to frustration and confusion why the chances are not working properly.

See also http://www.gamedev.net/reference/design/features/randomness/ for some ideas how it could be done better.

PlaneShift is just a game and nothing else. Leave the same sex marriage to your local politicians and their voters to decide.

why must trying to revive and go back to normal world be so hard (after u died)
And why exactly do you need to leave the Death Realm and go back to the other world?

Some people have stayed there for years and are still ok  :whistling:

* Tharos chuckles:
Indeed, the Death Realm is the best place to be. Who cares about the curse if you have the option to not leave the Death Realm.

* Tharos stops for a moment and then adds:
Or you are not able to leave ...

[ Many thanks to Cherpow who made the current Death Realm and to Xillix and Co. for all the books there \\o//]

No worries.  How does that saying go "Can't please everybody all of the time" :).   He is free to express his opinions as he pleases.  I guess he does it there because he's afraid that bid bad moderators will come down on him if he tries to post here.   And that is our right as well since this site is paid for by me and under my total control :) ( yeah I am evil  :devil: ). 
No offence Andrew, but could that be one of the issues here? Ever heard the "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"? As long as they stay here, you are on the control. When they go somewhere else, you lost the control.

Before this gets locked  can one of you put a link to that slice showing all the levels. I've searched but not been able to find it.

Maybe here? http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24282.msg269135#msg269135

In the future it would be possible for someone to die, continue his life in the DR and only figure out how to get back months later.
That because the Death Realm will become much bigger with "life".
Unfortunately that life will mostly consist of people with low IQ as most people won't be stupid enough to die or are smart enough to get out of there asap :P

Do you call me stupid?  :@#\

I have spent years if not centuries (lost count long time ago) in the Death Realm and never left it :P

Why do you want to leave? You just arrived to the Death Realm. I never left it and I'm quite happy there :)

Well, from the description it looks more like a Blackmailers Guild than a Beggars Guild :P Don't expect the Dark Empire to surrender to any blackmailing.

But "having an ear almost on every Hydlaa corner" sounds interesting and we may have some business to discuss ;)

The Dark Empire is still around, no worries about this. We are just waiting for the right time to show up when nobody expects that :P

For what the quote when you don`t refer to it?
The meaning of your post is a bit hard to understand.  Rather than jumping to false conclusions about what you intended to say, could you say it again with clearer grammar?

Not everybody on this forums has English as their first language. Could you please spend mode time trying to understand what they actually had in their mind?
