Well since I was found out from reading the forums and catching up, that spirals is no longer with Cryptic. So this whole topic is just a moot point. I guarantee not a single person at cryptic besides him even bothered to read this. In fact I would bet money that spirals even being so vocal about the Foundry issues is why…

If there is one constant in this universe besides c it's that I can come to the Foundry forums and still see you fighting the good fight Eldarth. I tried to stay attached, keep creating but putting so much effort into something when I have to balance military life as well, just to see it get buried in bugs and exploits…

What do you feel The Foundry does right? What feels good to you and what do you have fun doing? Why are you glad The Foundry was implemented in Neverwinter? Creating maps. Map creation is fun, even when things start to really lag. Creating stories to go with the maps is also fun. These two things are the ONLY reason I even…

Just began reworking on my second foundry quest, the same one that has been in development off and on since just after release. It's issues like this that just keep driving me away. I understand bugs happen, but it is Cryptic/PWE's complete disregard for these bugs. My quest has a few critical teleports in this, and this…
-
Not good, not good at all. I took a year off hoping PWE would get with the act and work on the Foundry. I still have the second act of my quest 3/4th done, but have no motivation to finish it. I came here hoping to hear good news. Eldarth is still here, and if he is not happy then I won't be. I had high hopes for the…

At this point I have stopped trusting anything a dev comes in the forums and says about...well anything Foundry related. They have had their chance. They blew it, big time. They have cried wolf so many **** times I think if they finally did fix these bugs they keep saying they are working on, most people will just assume…
-
We might get a token nod in the form of assets, but if your expecting any bug fixes or features... don't hold your breath. the incompetence if rampant at PWE (the management at PWE, not the devs at cryptic, they probably want to fix things, but I have read how the dumbasses at PWE run a dev team) You have to remember, most…

I have not completed my second quest for several reasons. Mainly, the foundry itself is just so frustrating. I spend about an hour or two in it, and most of that time is loading, or dealing with lag, especially with the dialogue editor, which has not seen any dev love since the game was released and is still rampant with…

I try and do custom costumes as much as possible too, but then I remember I still have to sit there and apply each costume to each enemy, with the interface lag you get, this is very tedious. But it makes a difference, especially when you have played long enough to recognize all the default looks of NPC's.

The Foundry is not, and will never be for you then. Foundry is not about loot, its not about uber challenge, and yes there are a lot of ****ty stories out there, but this is because people don't like to read and only want loot, an uber challenge and could care less about a crafted story experience and most authors know…
-
Just one questions. Are you in edit mode when you play through it (allowing you to move stuff around). If you are in edit mode, and you move your crosshair over any objects bounding box(white square) it will turn collision off for that object. So if you look at the floor...it will make the floor act like its not there.…

Which is about 3-4 times faster then other MMO's where you upgrade someones twice in a single level. That is what I am getting at. NWO while leveling its not uncommon to go through several items for the same gear slot within a span of 3 levels. And updates are akin to starting a new P&P session, where you take what you…
-
And thus us the downfall of the modern RPG. Used to be D&D was about the stories and not the rewards. In fact, a true D&D game, you will generally stick with the same gear for most or several sessions, and in Turbine DDO, you do not upgrade items that often. Just saying, the Foundry was a great idea, but they put it in a…
-
And there are people that think this and play for this reason. However, most people don't care if the story is better or the quests are better. This has been talked about heavily since Alpha. The subset of players in a free MMO that even remotely care about the story is small...and we are all right here in the Foundry…

When you have an item selected, you can press Q to translate, and E to rotate. Pressing those keys will bring up the arrows/arcs that you can drag with your mouse. The default mode when you bring an object into the editor from the library will place it on a flat surface. Once placed about where you want it, then you can…

Ya, they are doing a mighty fine job of driving Authors away already with their lack of attention to the Foundry, crappy integration into the main gameplay and just general feeling amongst the Authors that they just plain don't care all that much about supporting the Foundry outside of using it as a selling point. The…

Why i understand using the lore in the Forgotten Realms, D&D has always been about writing your own story within that world. The beauty of having a rich resource like the Forgotten Realms is you can build your own personal story that has never been heard before, but anchor it in a place that has lots of history to tie…
-
:p I am, got a bit overzealous with Act II, but I still do go in and run Act I and update content, fix bugs I missed, etc. But I see your point. But i'm also not getting paid or asking for money :p But when it comes down to it, it is the issues in the foundry that make me not want to spend more time in them. Editing the…
-
Once or twice is a mistake, but it is the combination of multiple mistakes that they take their sweet time in fixing. I am sure most of the bugs that still exist in the Foundry since alpha were mistakes, but it i snot a mistake to ignore them despite repeated bug reports and forums posts on them for almost a year. if they…
-
Frankly cryptic, and developers and who ever is in charge of this part of the game.. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING YOURSELVES! Just toss THE ENTIRE filter out the window and start from scratch, because, ever since Alpha, this has been the most strick, asinine (i bet that word is blocked) filter every created. I don't think every…

If you are just getting into modeling however, Wins3d is ni my opinion the best tool out there for beginners. You will spend 300% less time learning the interface as everything just makes sense. Want to select edges, press E, want to select vertexes? Press...you guess it V. All mesh the major mesh tools are accessed via…

No no no, don't say that. By far the best way to learn the Foundry is to be ambitious and just go for it. I wish I did this on my first quest. You get one chance to make a first impression, make it count. Start building the maps you can do easily, learning as you go, then start the more advanced maps. If you release an…

I am getting this as well, 4 months later. I can only get in and edit my map once every 5 or 6 tries.
-
I am still here, still working on Act II of my campaign, though I don't actually log in and play the game anymore, I just do the Foundry. Despite not being really as active on the forums in a few months, not logging in, and not promoting my one quest at all, I logged in and checked it today and have gotten another 15 or so…

However, you can duplicate a map and use it twice, so don't get scarred that you have to build a map from scratch a second time. Teleporters are a fine way to have different "maps" that you can move freely between. I use them liberally on my second quest I am working on, just pre-plan this route and use a far bigger map…

I have to disagree, that is bullwonky. The music in a game or even a movie is to fill a key element you have when your doing everything in real life... and that is the full use of your other senses, and well as harder to quantify things that we humans experience in the world around us and how our minds react to real…

I personally do not want to be rated a 5 simply because I traded a review with someone. It is a disservice to both the players who are now can't accuratly determine what rating a quest is anymore, and to the authors, who think everything is hunky doory because they have a bunch of 5 star reviews, even though their quest is…
-
Thanks for the review. Act II is taking longer then expected as I just keep building maps, but I assure everyone, half the dialogue is done, the maps are all but wrapped up, and I have still to do the encounters, which, well, is something I am scarred about. I have seen so many great ways encounters have been done but that…

I have a short jumping section in my upcoming quest with fire around it...I made the **** thing...and I STILL have trouble getting past it sometimes when I test it.... So I might hold off. Platformers were never my thing anyways. But glad to see a creative use of the Foundry.
