Hey Eldarth yeah its really me. These have been this way since alpha. Anytime I wanted red blood I had to use the projector. The good news is that the black blood works great for other effects too. That being said, would love to see this fixed one of these days and to have another set of objects in the grey for dirt and…
Well I just may have to get I there and do an update. I was mistakenly told that there where not any encounter updates. Ill take a look soon as I get a chance.
The other thing you can do is use an outdoor map and build your structure from scratch using the building parts in the details library. This can be quite challenging, but a tremendous amount of fun. If you take a look at my campaign listed in the sig, I use a lot of self generated rooms and buildings, and in the first…
Think that 500 plays is too many as many quests don't get much more then a hundred or so. I would say the last 20 averaged would give a sufficient baseline.
Yeah, old timers are still here. Still hanging in there, though I am on a bit of hiatus while I deal with some medical issues at the moment, I am still keeping my end up from time to time.
Something to remember is that position on the best tab is based upon adjusted rating not stars. You can have a five star quest with an adjusted rating of 4.8 simply because it has not received sufficient plays. I am still waiting for cryptic to spell out this magical formula as to what the adjusted rating is.
As a participant, I can say that I did the interview to promote my quests as yet another method of getting folks to play them. It was just another effort to get it out there. I totally agree that the tabs and search features are totally broken. Those authors that have been able to gain recognition have done so with great…
You're right I did forget that instance. Good catch. Then all the more easily integrated into the foundry I would think. I cannot however think of another instance. Since you caught that one maybe you can point out others.
No worse then many of the quests that exist anyway, so might as well give the story telling authors tools to do their jobs more effectively. The reason we don't have one is that it was likely not part of the cryptic engine originally, as there is no use of similar technology in any of the story based content, and so…
15 min quest for daily has nothing to do with a timer object that allows activities to take place based upon clocked time. You still get kicked if inactive after a few minutes. All the timer object does is provide a timed trigger. It has nothing to do with quest objectives or auto-completion or any of that other nonsense.…
Welcome to the insanity. Agree with all the advice above. Most of all do something that you really love. The investment in time and effort demands a certain degree of dedication, so starting from a position of doing what you really enjoy in the first place gives you a solid frame to stand on.
The projector has two parts the lens and the projector. when you select and move it you will see two boxes in motion. Rotate the top and bottom to get the projector to project on the ground as suggested above.
Click on the gear next to your chat window and then select the second tab - cant remember what its called. Then put in a name click on create/join and your all set. Remember to name your channel something short so that people can switch to it easily.
I have posted this before but will post again here. You have to realize that all images and sound in the game exist in the downloaded client on YOUR computer. To allow for author sound or image resources would require that cryptic package those resources and download them to all clients playing the game. This needless to…
So you are saying that we should restrict our friends from being able to rate our quests because they may be bias? On the same note should we then restrict our enemies? Should we restrict the people who like combat quests from playing and rating story quests? How bout the other way around? Maybe we should restrict other…
There is a submit to cryptic button in the foundry editor. If I don't hit that button I don't expect cryptic to single me out for feature. That is the authors control over the state of their work. If the author does not believe that the work is ready to be put in a locked un-editable state, then they don't hit that button.…
Forcing the community to track FB, Twitter, and whatever other social media venues you are plugged into, rather then your own forums is a huge mistake. Someone with your social media smarts and education, Sominator, knows better. Social media venues are an adjunct to conventional communications venues, and cannot replace…
