Hovering Barrels
« 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.  ;)
sig removed, it was kinda big ^^

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 :)

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.
Doing things just for the halibut.

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
