    Dec 11, 2016 9:02 PM - Xyaminou: to all those who played the beta test, it seems the "locked on" sound is not being replaced by 2.10's so you have to delete your sound folder and verify local content
    Dec 11, 2016 10:22 PM - vipervicki: good to know ty X

    Dec 12, 2016 11:19 PM - CRITAWAKETS: This is the shoutbox so...
    Dec 12, 2016 11:19 PM - CRITAWAKETS: FUCK YOU!
    Dec 12, 2016 11:19 PM - CRITAWAKETS: YOU ARE STUPID
    Dec 12, 2016 11:20 PM - CRITAWAKETS: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH- Shouting now disabled.
    Dec 12, 2016 11:20 PM - CRITAWAKETS: I find that the shoutbox is really just my throwaway jokes trash bin
    Dec 12, 2016 11:39 PM - BlackRedDead: ...or stupidity meter of some ppl O.o *warning, gaining 2 stupidity points just to reply stupid things* - damned xD
    Dec 12, 2016 11:52 PM - Xyaminou: I find the shoutbox is really for critawakets to speak nonsense day after day
    Dec 13, 2016 12:10 AM - ScardyBob: Wait, shoutbox is for intelligent conversation? Blasphemy!
    Dec 13, 2016 12:17 AM - Señor_Awesome: I find myself going about my day, naturally accumulating intelligence. I come here to prevent my brain from exploding due to maximum over smarts
    Dec 13, 2016 1:36 AM - CRITAWAKETS: Priority Override. New Behavior dictated.
    Dec 13, 2016 1:36 AM - CRITAWAKETS: Must break target down into component minerals.
    Dec 13, 2016 2:21 AM - Xyaminou: can someone move my thread "Recycling should award points" into "implemented" in case the balancing needs more discussion, I feel like someone needs to the sort out the threads in feedback.
    Dec 13, 2016 2:25 AM - Thexa4: sure
    Dec 13, 2016 2:47 AM - Xyaminou: That was fast, thanks.
    Dec 13, 2016 2:48 AM - Xyaminou: Trump why are you wasting your time arguing with what is assuredly the most ignorant person on these forums?
    Dec 13, 2016 2:54 AM - Kidpaler: I honestly have no idea. The funny thing is his quote from earlier that reads, " ...or stupidity meter of some ppl O.o *warning, gaining 2 stupidity points just to reply stupid things* - damned xD"

    Dec 13, 2016 4:11 AM - vipervicki: what I fond stupid is no matter what thread someone makes..an argument ensues...ability to discuss is lacking on these forums.
    Dec 13, 2016 4:12 AM - vipervicki: find*
    Dec 13, 2016 4:28 AM - Señor_Awesome: http://steamcommunity.com/id/senor_awesome/screenshot/177161519230002557
    Dec 13, 2016 6:27 AM - Kidpaler: Yep, it is stupid
    Dec 13, 2016 7:02 AM - A-z-K: SHUT UP, YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY REAL DAD
    Dec 13, 2016 7:13 AM - ScardyBob: That sounds like mutiny! Time for a public flogging.
    Dec 13, 2016 8:23 AM - Z100000M: Aww was unable to comment on your ss senor, but accidentally finding out that my old ass jailbait spiderman spray still tops empires gallery after all these years warms my heart
    Dec 13, 2016 2:10 PM - Ranger: The CVs on nubs currently sink into the ground.Restarting maps doesn't work
    Dec 13, 2016 2:11 PM - Ranger: they occasionally flip andgetstuck onbuildings and later jsut sinkagain
    Dec 13, 2016 2:11 PM - Ranger: Ungriefing doesnt work. It lookslikeas collisions were turned off
    Dec 13, 2016 3:03 PM - Xyaminou: Vicki, it's not possible to have a debate when the other party is ignorant, or even worse, ignorant about his own ignorance. Like I always say debating is trying to get the other party to see your point of view, when you know for a fact that they never will there's no point in debating.
    Dec 13, 2016 5:03 PM - NekoBaron: Everytime we try to debate something someone cries and gets friends in to derail or lock it, hence why we have to fall back on shit posting to get any point across.
    Dec 13, 2016 5:08 PM - Ranger: That's because offenses have no part in a proper discussion. Remember the purpose.
    Dec 13, 2016 5:12 PM - NekoBaron: we're not allowed propper discussions though, or the topic just gets boycotted because they refuse to discuss it.
    Dec 13, 2016 5:14 PM - Kidpaler: MOST of the arguments on here derail topics is the problem...
    Dec 13, 2016 5:14 PM - Kidpaler: For example, BRD arguing about maps in the "Wanted: New Maps" thread. There should be no argument. It's literally vicki just asking for new maps
    Dec 13, 2016 5:16 PM - NekoBaron: BRD's an idiot, why would people even read their posts?
    Dec 13, 2016 5:16 PM - Kidpaler: Because you still have to read posts you disagree with to learn their process of thinking and why they think that
    Dec 13, 2016 5:17 PM - NekoBaron: true but if its a shit post, you should ignore it not be a spaz and get baited to arguing back.
    Dec 13, 2016 5:24 PM - NekoBaron: I would love to discuss empires balance, but its either ignored or someone says it attacking the devs and locks/bans it.
    Dec 13, 2016 5:42 PM - Kidpaler: Well, I will say when people start it off as "these changes are retarded" or " You should learn to take criticism" it sets the tone to be quite negative
    Dec 13, 2016 5:49 PM - Lazybum: Well I am going to agree that there's a lot of maps that don't see much day light, empires really isn't lacking in maps
    Dec 13, 2016 5:49 PM - Lazybum: it's just poeple prefer the usual things instead of trying the more unusual stuff
    Dec 13, 2016 5:50 PM - Kidpaler: Yea, but everyone can nominate as well. It seems people either dont nominate or their nomination doesn't show up
    Dec 13, 2016 5:50 PM - Kidpaler: Also Lazy, I fixed up those sounds you said. At least most of them
    Dec 13, 2016 5:51 PM - Kidpaler: Some of that requires a lot of script changing
    Dec 13, 2016 7:38 PM - vipervicki: I agree X..and neko theres a difference between debating and sitrring shit,,
    Dec 13, 2016 7:38 PM - Xyaminou: Trump do you know the ratio of maps I nominated that actually got voted afterwards? I think it's something like 5 or 10%, so yeah nominating good maps is useless.
    Dec 13, 2016 7:39 PM - vipervicki: exactly DT thats why nekos psot was inapproprite and BRDS
    Dec 13, 2016 7:39 PM - Xyaminou: Also if the forums were a bit more like reddit, where you can bury comments that are irrelevant and where each discussion can fork from the main thread it'd probably be easier to stay on topic
    Dec 13, 2016 7:40 PM - Kidpaler: We should promote the reddit more.. get discussion going over there then
    Dec 13, 2016 7:40 PM - vipervicki: and thats exactly what I meant it was a simple request for new maps which Im happy to say mappers came thru and ty mappers for that
    Dec 13, 2016 7:40 PM - Kidpaler: Also, I nominate maps all the time but it NEVER shows up on the vote list
    Dec 13, 2016 7:41 PM - Kidpaler: I wish there was a plugin to display all the maps, or more than what it chooses, like in Gmod when you get done with a map
    Dec 13, 2016 7:41 PM - Xyaminou: From what I understand nominated maps are still subjected to the min/max and other rules of mapvotes
    Dec 13, 2016 7:41 PM - Kidpaler: Brings up a list, with a picture of each map, and you click on it to vote. About 12 options. But I know that'd cost money for Creeper
    Dec 13, 2016 7:42 PM - Kidpaler: What are the rules of mapvotes?
    Dec 13, 2016 7:42 PM - Xyaminou: Meaning there can only be a fixed number of custom maps nominated which also have to be meet the number of players requirements
    Dec 13, 2016 7:42 PM - Xyaminou: rules such as, 3 maps will be taken from the official map pool, 2 will be taken from custom map pool and 1 from the infantry map pool.
    Dec 13, 2016 7:43 PM - vipervicki: thats how i had it set up on viper
    Dec 13, 2016 7:43 PM - vipervicki: i think the creeper has somehting similiar
    Dec 13, 2016 7:43 PM - Xyaminou: so if 3 people were to nominate custom maps that fit the amount of players only 2 would be picked
    Dec 13, 2016 7:43 PM - Kidpaler: Well theres the problem. 3 from the "official" map pool.
    Dec 13, 2016 7:43 PM - vipervicki: the mapcyle plugin we both use allows that
    Dec 13, 2016 7:43 PM - Kidpaler: The official maps are the ones usually overplayed
    Dec 13, 2016 7:43 PM - Xyaminou: Well the difference is nominate was (semi) recently changed to also fit the map pick rules
    Dec 13, 2016 7:44 PM - Xyaminou: on viper and on early nubs nominated maps didn't need to fit the rules
    Dec 13, 2016 7:44 PM - Xyaminou: anyway, clear that up with creeper
    Dec 13, 2016 7:44 PM - vipervicki: this I dont recall how I had noms set up on viper
    Dec 13, 2016 7:45 PM - Kidpaler: Official maps selected should be cut down, while nominated should be upped
    Dec 13, 2016 7:45 PM - Xyaminou: and all that I just said should not be taken as fact. It's just educated guesses.
    Dec 13, 2016 7:45 PM - vipervicki: on viper number 1 was blanked out
    Dec 13, 2016 7:45 PM - Kidpaler: Would provide more options
    Dec 13, 2016 7:45 PM - vipervicki: so it left me with only 5 maps I think
    Dec 13, 2016 7:45 PM - Xyaminou: like I said, talk to creeper.
    Dec 13, 2016 7:47 PM - vipervicki: anyone know anyhting about rad roger?
    Dec 13, 2016 7:47 PM - vipervicki: i never heard of it but got it for free with my vid card
    Dec 13, 2016 7:48 PM - vipervicki: looks cartoonish :(
    Dec 13, 2016 7:48 PM - vipervicki: me no likely cartoony games
    Dec 13, 2016 7:55 PM - Kidpaler: https://www.reddit.com/r/Empires/
    Dec 13, 2016 9:22 PM - NekoBaron: vicki we cant debate if your all going to keep protecting security and locking any discussion about it.
    Dec 13, 2016 9:36 PM - Xyaminou: lol
    Dec 13, 2016 10:07 PM - vipervicki: you are not debating calling him an idiot and saying you want him off the dev team is not debating,
    Dec 13, 2016 10:08 PM - vipervicki: azk post summed you up in a nutshell..thats all you do is insult people,
    Dec 13, 2016 10:09 PM - vipervicki: and then you whine you are not treated well..you reap what you sow
    Dec 13, 2016 10:12 PM - vipervicki: and I did not lock that discussion thexa's post was well after I saw yours
    Dec 13, 2016 10:12 PM - vipervicki: i mean thexa's psot was well before I saw yours LOL oppsie
    Dec 13, 2016 10:16 PM - vipervicki: <--hands neko_baron a dictionary to look up the definition of debate
    Dec 13, 2016 10:23 PM - NekoBaron: I love how vicki has to post like 10 lines to make sure she has control over the shoutbox all times of day instead one one neat line or two.
    Dec 13, 2016 10:24 PM - vipervicki: lol and the paranoia sets in
    Dec 13, 2016 11:00 PM - flasche: opinions, theyre like assholes, everyone got one.
    Dec 13, 2016 11:01 PM - flasche: and some fail to see that their perceptions are only opinions
    Dec 13, 2016 11:19 PM - Lazybum: I miss having epic around, it made it easy to change maps and see what each map was like.
    Dec 13, 2016 11:22 PM - Xyaminou: why not just create a local server?
    Dec 13, 2016 11:23 PM - Xyaminou: or are you looking for some maps?
    Dec 13, 2016 11:48 PM - Lazybum: it was more to download maps I don't have. Inconviently the only way to get several maps is from the servers
    Dec 13, 2016 11:48 PM - Lazybum: It would be nice if there were more maps in the defualt empires install
    Dec 14, 2016 3:51 AM - Sgt.Security: Let's not pretend Neko is actually handing out "opinions", he's been working with Spike and clearly he's not gonna like my changes, he simply can't.
    Dec 14, 2016 3:53 AM - Sgt.Security: If he actually cares about the well-being of the game he would've posted constructive opinions like everyone else.

    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:17 AM - A-z-K: You really are a prat Neko. This person's an idiot, I don't like the way this person types. There is reasons nobody is interested in what you have to say.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:18 AM - NekoBaron: Getting rid of a dev who cant do their job properly is constructive feedback security, I quit playing for over a month to give it time to change and its gotten worse.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:19 AM - A-z-K: Give it longer next time
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:21 AM - NekoBaron: And this is why empires gets no new long term players.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:22 AM - A-z-K: no it isnt. it is because it is a decade old source mod with fundamental design issues.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:22 AM - A-z-K: Anyway, I'm out. melt.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:24 AM - NekoBaron: Says game have design issues, doesnt want to get rid of the cause of most of them...
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:27 AM - A-z-K: prat
    Dec 14, 2016 at 10:55 AM - Xyaminou: I think Neko just took the lead from BRD for the most hated person on these forums
    Dec 14, 2016 at 12:06 PM - A-z-K: hate is a strong word
    Dec 14, 2016 at 12:46 PM - Paradox: but still not strong enough to describe these inner feelings I have towards BRD.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:45 PM - Ranger: But Cheesus Crust said love everyone
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:47 PM - Vdragon: does that mean people will that working on UE4pires ?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:47 PM - flasche: you sure its not just a constipation paradox ^^
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:48 PM - Ranger: I think empurrs is going for source 2 not ue4
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:49 PM - flasche: to me source 2 sounds like hl3
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:50 PM - Vdragon: does source 2 have PBR?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:52 PM - flasche: is there anything other than dota2 on source 2?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:52 PM - Ranger: idk but it doesnt have BRD
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:53 PM - flasche: and does valve actually still make games? :P
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:54 PM - Vdragon: i'm not sure. They are willingly killing tf2, so it looks like they are tryign to weed out their games, baring the most successful ones
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:54 PM - Vdragon: they would only keep CS:GO and Dota 2
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:55 PM - flasche: neither of which is valve
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:56 PM - flasche: or lets say, both are mods reimagined by studios payed by valve
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:56 PM - flasche: or all 3 tf was originally a quake mod
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:57 PM - flasche: .shrug.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:59 PM - Vdragon: damn
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:00 PM - Vdragon: did valve make any game in the last 15 years?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:01 PM - A-z-K: Why make games. Everyone hates them
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:01 PM - Vdragon: i liked hl2 ._.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:01 PM - flasche: yeah why make games if you have steam
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:01 PM - Ranger: Why make games
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:02 PM - A-z-K: And they are bad for your health. Valve don't want that on their conscience
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:02 PM - flasche: let others make games and earn money with distribution
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:02 PM - flasche: the EA way
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:02 PM - Vdragon: yea steam is pretty much a money printer that require little to maintenance...
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:02 PM - Vdragon: *little to no
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:03 PM - A-z-K: We should port empires to steam
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:03 PM - flasche: lol
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:03 PM - flasche: a drm software with a horible interface
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:03 PM - A-z-K: Or EA
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:03 PM - Vdragon: they got Vive out tho, which is nice
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:03 PM - flasche: which is from HTC
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:04 PM - flasche: ^^
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:04 PM - A-z-K: Yeah the Vive is pretty awesome. I love tripping over cables and wandering around in a 2m square playing demoware
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:04 PM - Vdragon: well apparently it was mostly conceived by actual vive engineers
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:04 PM - Vdragon: *valve
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:05 PM - flasche: what i find so sad about this "we wait for source 2 thing" is that we do that for years now
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:05 PM - A-z-K: awesome games like, physics sandbox, or re-skinnd sphysics sandbox v2. And who could forget the epic shooter games
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:05 PM - flasche: in the meanwhile we could have empires on 10 different engines
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:05 PM - flasche: but thats none of my business
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:05 PM - Ranger: greek ex minister of economy has "beta tested" valves vive thing
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:05 PM - A-z-K: Making a game is hard and nobody want to do it
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:05 PM - flasche: :kermitmeme:
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:06 PM - flasche: thats a reason i can follow azk
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:06 PM - flasche: reasoning*
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:06 PM - flasche: a sad one, but i have a rough idea of how much work it is
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:07 PM - flasche: it needs a new krenzo stuck on some ship without internets
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:07 PM - A-z-K: haha, well that or a commercial offering
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:07 PM - flasche: ^^
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:08 PM - A-z-K: I'd buy a spiritual successor for 25 bucks and I bet most people who played Empires would too
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:09 PM - flasche: depending on the quality id be willing to pay even more
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:09 PM - flasche: even tho id never get the few thousand hours out of it like it did with current empires
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:10 PM - flasche: im still in love with the basic concept, and empires made all FPS lack the RTS part
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:10 PM - flasche: i really miss that
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:11 PM - flasche: its gives everything much more of a meaning. in battlefield you just cap flags that are recapped again until some arbitrary counter reaches zero
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:12 PM - flasche: its nice and all, but it becomes repetitive quite soon
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:12 PM - A-z-K: All the big FPS titles are short lived. fun for a while but laking in real depth
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:13 PM - flasche: well they need to appeal to the least common denominator
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:13 PM - A-z-K: But it could change soon, all the AAAs have started to slip, poeople are getting bored
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:13 PM - flasche: because their development is so costly it needs to sell
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:14 PM - A-z-K: would be nice to see them become a bit more divergent
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:15 PM - flasche: there is this downside FPS-RTS have and that is the inherrent slippery slope
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:16 PM - flasche: at a point you lost but its not over till you really lost
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:16 PM - flasche: in "normal" fps its all pretty even still
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:16 PM - flasche: you might be 500 points behind, but you still are en par with the enemy
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:16 PM - flasche: with buildings and research you lack behind and its not over till a while
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:17 PM - Vdragon: yea, having to appeal to the lowest common denominator is why so many games are shit
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:18 PM - Vdragon: but yet the sus-named denominator buy it, and since that makes for a large part of the population, they make more
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:18 PM - Vdragon: so fucking sad
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:18 PM - flasche: everything else would be risky
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:19 PM - flasche: thats why most new innovention in gaming comes from the indy scene
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:19 PM - flasche: and as soon as something is a success you have the big companies jump on the bandwagon
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:19 PM - flasche: take mobas as example
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:19 PM - Vdragon: mobas always have been shit tho
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:19 PM - Vdragon: that's why people love it
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:20 PM - flasche: wc3 dota had a huge audience - bam a few years later you are drowned in mobas
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:20 PM - Vdragon: mind-boggingly shallow
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:20 PM - flasche: thats personal taste
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:20 PM - Vdragon: morons love shallow stuffs
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:20 PM - flasche: but the numbers say success
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:20 PM - Vdragon: yes, because look at how many % of the population can connect on a irc channel
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:21 PM - flasche: what has irc to do with it?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:21 PM - flasche: also how is it complicated?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:21 PM - Vdragon: the common denominator narrative
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:21 PM - flasche: tho i know people are frightened by irc
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:22 PM - flasche: in my early days of the internet tho, there were many average people on irc
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:22 PM - flasche: my ISP even had its own irc server running
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:22 PM - Vdragon: yea, and the 'average' has gone to facebook now
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:22 PM - Vdragon: cause irc is too hard
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:22 PM - flasche: eww facebook
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:23 PM - flasche: :hate:
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:23 PM - flasche: but yes point taken
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:23 PM - Vdragon: that's why you can't fathom irc being 'complicated'...
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:24 PM - flasche: tho i guess the main merrit many see with facebook is the showmanship (is that used correctly?)
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:24 PM - Vdragon: what do you mean, i don't into english either
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:24 PM - flasche: self-presentation
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:24 PM - flasche: you cant post duckface pictures on IRC
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:24 PM - Vdragon: like the selfie?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:25 PM - flasche: is that still a thing? i dont facebook ^^
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:25 PM - Vdragon: i dunno, i do'nt either
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:27 PM - flasche: i wonder if its just me getting old and i just cant follow the youngsters anymore, or if its really retarded.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:27 PM - flasche: i lean to the 2nd but thats how the wheel of time is turning
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:28 PM - Vdragon: i'm young, and it is retarded
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:28 PM - flasche: haha
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:28 PM - flasche: im relieved :D
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:28 PM - Vdragon: how young is young for you tho?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:28 PM - Ranger: Ass a youngster I confirm that the duckface and selfies in general are a dominant thing on facebook.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:29 PM - Vdragon: are you ass young ranger :p
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM - flasche: im 37 draw your conclusions
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM - Vdragon: so i 20 young?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM - Vdragon: *is
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM - flasche: sure
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM - Vdragon: or is young like 15 ?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM - flasche: thats even younger
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM - Vdragon: what's the average duckface-maker age @Ranger?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:31 PM - flasche: tho 15 is kids age
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:31 PM - flasche: hard to take someone for full at less than half your age
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:32 PM - flasche: tho i admit, age also is a state of mind
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:32 PM - Vdragon: like writing correctly lol
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:32 PM - flasche: thats overrated
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Ranger: 10
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:33 PM - flasche: (because i cant either ^^)
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Ranger: to
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Ranger: 50
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Ranger: ive seen both cases
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Vdragon: i mean, there is a limit, that's what i mean
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Vdragon: then people go from whatever the age they are to less than 15 y/o in my head
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Vdragon: (from the writing)
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:34 PM - Vdragon: ok but that ain't an average @Ranger
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:34 PM - flasche: ye i no wat u min
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:34 PM - Vdragon: SEE
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:34 PM - flasche: ^^
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:34 PM - Vdragon: i'm sorry you are too young for empires forums now
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:34 PM - Ranger: i dontknow the average m8
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:35 PM - Ranger: hopefully it's arround 20
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:35 PM - flasche: because you like duckfaces?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:35 PM - flasche: :P
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:35 PM - Ranger: only if they show ass
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:36 PM - flasche: hahaha
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:36 PM - Ranger: tbh i see more butts and breasts lately
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:36 PM - Ranger: than duckfaces
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:36 PM - flasche: maybe is hould make a facebook acct
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:36 PM - flasche: lol
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:37 PM - Vdragon: youngsters are getting bolder with their image lol
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:37 PM - flasche: well i gotta leave. later guys
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:37 PM - Vdragon: that's good for the ones that have success and extremely bad for the ones that don't...
    Dec 14, 2016 at 2:37 PM - Vdragon: bye
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:08 PM - ScardyBob: brb, going to make Empires duckface mod
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:35 PM - Xyaminou: quack
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:48 PM - Lazybum: WOOOOOOO Steam group announcements
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:49 PM - Lazybum: though I keep wondering if I should use the newer one or the older one
    Dec 14, 2016 at 8:49 PM - Lazybum: going to use both, but the other one is getting less spam
    Dec 14, 2016 at 9:02 PM - Ranger: Wish you could mergeg
    Dec 14, 2016 at 9:02 PM - Ranger: mergegegegegeg*
    Dec 14, 2016 at 9:27 PM - ScardyBob: Or maybe I should say Daruckface :)
    Dec 14, 2016 at 10:17 PM - flasche: well its kinda moot to complain about it now, but thats exactly what made him quit the game, all this harrasment with quack and duck and whatnot. good job :slowclap:
    Dec 14, 2016 at 10:22 PM - Xyaminou: well people have been calling me french and surrender, doesn't make me quit
    Dec 14, 2016 at 10:33 PM - flasche: i did not
    Dec 14, 2016 at 10:33 PM - flasche: except for french bc thats what you are
    Dec 14, 2016 at 10:33 PM - flasche: :D
    Dec 14, 2016 at 11:12 PM - Xyaminou: I never said you did, just you know trolls. But that's just life for you.
    Dec 14, 2016 at 11:51 PM - Ranger: Weren't chassis supposed to have resistances against damage types in the scripts for "just in case"? Where are they?
    Dec 14, 2016 at 11:53 PM - Xyaminou: I think they're only in one of the script files or they're working but not written in any of the script files
    Dec 14, 2016 at 11:53 PM - Xyaminou: basically ask a dev, my answer is not really useful
    Dec 14, 2016 at 11:54 PM - Ranger: shitty shit
    Dec 15, 2016 at 12:04 AM - Ranger: Well with the current Empires, I can't really test mu scripts :( Empires won't leave me exit the game no matter what I do and I have to restart everytime.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 12:18 AM - Xyaminou: oO
    Dec 15, 2016 at 12:18 AM - Xyaminou: trapped in Empires forever? are you sure you're not in hell?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 12:21 AM - ScardyBob: permanently stuck on escort
    Dec 15, 2016 at 12:28 AM - Xyaminou: that's the deepest levels of hell
    Dec 15, 2016 at 12:33 AM - Ranger: Does Lua in Empires currently work?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 12:54 AM - Xyaminou: didn't know there was any Lua in Empires
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:00 AM - Ranger: I read it uses Lua for the Tutorial. It was not worked on apart from that.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:02 AM - ScardyBob: my guess: it sort of works, but has many bugs like most of empires code
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:03 AM - Xyaminou: bugs? in Empires? Impossible!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:10 AM - Ranger: You must have confused Empires with another game, Sir ScaryBob. Empires is bug-free. We use the best pesticedes!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:13 AM - Thexa4: @Ranger, we don't have Lua in Empires at the moment. There is feature being worked on that would enable Javascript for hud elements / gui
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:13 AM - Thexa4: There was Lua in the pre source 2013 engine version
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:13 AM - Thexa4: What do you want to use Lua for?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:15 AM - Ranger: I don't I just read an old thread. It was from 2014. It said Lua was probably only used for the Tutorial. It was implied that if it's in Empires then it would get ported to the new engine. I suppose it didn't make it.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:16 AM - Ranger: I don't want to use Lua for anything.*
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:16 AM - Thexa4: Ok, good to know :)
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:17 AM - Ranger: Thanks. x) I will go to bed now cya
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:17 AM - Thexa4: We could use javascript for certain things but I'm a bit afraid of performance impacts if it's used too much
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:17 AM - Thexa4: cya
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:19 AM - ScardyBob: Lua would be nice for modding
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:20 AM - ScardyBob: Could open a proper Empires workshop on steam then
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:21 AM - Thexa4: What would you like to mod?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:22 AM - ScardyBob: blimps, subs, new vehicles, etc
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:22 AM - ScardyBob: i also wouldn't mind more control over the hud for my pug plugin
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:24 AM - Thexa4: There would be an issue with security with servers overriding hud elements, but shouldn't new vehicles be doable using the current scripts?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:25 AM - Thexa4: Although it will be possible to add hud elements with clientside plugins that execute commands on the server
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:25 AM - Thexa4: so people can have an opt-in hud for your pug plugin
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:27 AM - Kidpaler: New vehicles with scripting would be clunky wouldn't it? Similar to the scripted aircraft
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:27 AM - Thexa4: Ah, right. But I don't think I'll be able to make a javascript interface that's powerful enough to implement that there
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:28 AM - Thexa4: I'm looking into adding steam workshop support but I'm kind of stuck on the in-game gui screens and the interaction with the package manager
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:28 AM - Kidpaler: Workshop support? Holy shit.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:28 AM - Thexa4: That's why I was collecting maps
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:29 AM - Kidpaler: Oh, I thought you were collecting them just to have them on record and create a database with all old maps
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:29 AM - Kidpaler: Do you by chance have a map that has a cooling tower/nuclear reactor in the center with a lake around it?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:29 AM - Kidpaler: I want to play that map. No one knows what it is.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:29 AM - Thexa4: no idea, haven't opened them
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:30 AM - Kidpaler: Fack.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:30 AM - Thexa4: if you know the name I can have a look
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:30 AM - Kidpaler: That's the problem, no one knows the name and hardly anyone even remembers the map. Only 1 person remembers the layout of the map like I do so I can't be of any help
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:32 AM - Thexa4: Anyway, both features are quite long way off unfortunately
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:32 AM - Thexa4: Javascript is being worked on, but workshop isn't
    Dec 15, 2016 at 1:40 AM - ScardyBob: Honestly, workshop support would be amazing for maps, but not really a priority since there is only one viable server
    Dec 15, 2016 at 2:15 AM - vipervicki: atomic
    Dec 15, 2016 at 2:53 AM - Kidpaler: That map has a nuclear reactor in the center, with a small lake around it, green hills, and theres a pipe on one side of it going to a structure half in the lake half in a hill?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 2:57 AM - vipervicki: its an infantry map..large with a reactor in center and water around it thats oxic i think
    Dec 15, 2016 at 2:58 AM - vipervicki: but i dont recall green hills
    Dec 15, 2016 at 2:59 AM - vipervicki: I wish whoever delted all theolder posts did not do that cant find anyhting anymore
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:00 AM - vipervicki: lol found it on a google search but not a forum search
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:00 AM - vipervicki: https://forums.empiresmod.com/index.php?threads/emp_atomic-is-now-available.14996/
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:01 AM - vipervicki: but image an error
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:02 AM - Kidpaler: Wasnt infantry to my recollection, had commanders and the water wasnt toxic
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:02 AM - Kidpaler: I remember there were commanders because there were tanks, but it was a single lane tank map
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:03 AM - CRITAWAKETS: If you want logic dont talk to my dad about Neverwinter Nights.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:03 AM - CRITAWAKETS: He breaks his own statements
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:04 AM - CRITAWAKETS: "Its not like a game mod!" later... "It allows you to make game mods."
    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:04 AM - vipervicki: then I dunno dt

    Dec 15, 2016 1:18 PM - CRITAWAKETS: The hell is that
    Dec 15, 2016 2:39 PM - Ranger: well played m8
    Dec 15, 2016 2:46 PM - Ranger: Empires could have Item and Tank Editor in game that would upload directly to the workshop, since messing with the scripts is common lately. It's fun to make weapons. Also there is that a server could run with it's own scripts, different from the game.
    Dec 15, 2016 2:47 PM - Ranger: Such editors are becoming more common. I can think of 3 games that have this feature right now.
    Dec 15, 2016 4:45 PM - flasche: if empires had enough players so they could fill more than one server this might be a neat option.
    Dec 15, 2016 4:49 PM - Kidpaler: Honestly, and I know this will sound weird, but the best way to get players is on Reddit through memeing.
    Dec 15, 2016 4:50 PM - Kidpaler: Take funny clips, make them into gifs, post them on popular subreddits where that's the thing to do and it will slowly raise awareness, get people to check out Empires subreddit etc
    Dec 15, 2016 5:02 PM - Xyaminou: right...
    Dec 15, 2016 5:03 PM - flasche: its an image macro not a meme
    Dec 15, 2016 5:06 PM - Kidpaler: I'm serious, we have to start raising awareness for this game somewhere outside of just steam because that isnt working
    Dec 15, 2016 5:07 PM - Ranger: Spread the word
    Dec 15, 2016 5:07 PM - Ranger: Get the message out
    Dec 15, 2016 5:07 PM - Ranger: Brace yourselves
    Dec 15, 2016 5:07 PM - Ranger: Empires is coming
    Dec 15, 2016 5:08 PM - Kidpaler: Videos with funny clips, funny moments made into Gif's, just something to entertain people. If they get a laugh out of it, they are likely to check out what it is
    Dec 15, 2016 5:10 PM - Kidpaler: Steam reviews, epic gameplay moments, just that stuff in general
    Dec 15, 2016 5:11 PM - Xyaminou: why not just ask a streamer with 10k viewers
    Dec 15, 2016 5:11 PM - Kidpaler: Well for one, we need a population first. That would be a great idea, but if he joins the game to see 11 people on, not exactly the "highlight" of what the game could be
    Dec 15, 2016 5:12 PM - Kidpaler: and why would he do it for free? I mean, we could "technically" all request a game to be played by a streamer and he'd probably listen
    Dec 15, 2016 5:13 PM - Kidpaler: I'm sure you remember when some person made that 8chan post and how many people we got off of that. Imagine if people made 4chan posts etc or a reddit post got popular
    Dec 15, 2016 5:13 PM - Xyaminou: why would anyone do shit for free
    Dec 15, 2016 5:14 PM - Xyaminou: just have him play in a PUG
    Dec 15, 2016 5:14 PM - Xyaminou: I don't actually
    Dec 15, 2016 5:14 PM - Kidpaler: Well, someone made an 8chan post and there were a LOT of people who joined. People are still playing it from the 8chan post at the beginning of the summer
    Dec 15, 2016 5:14 PM - Xyaminou: and in fact you just proved that even if we got people from that they didn't stay, so it was pointless
    Dec 15, 2016 5:14 PM - Kidpaler: Nope..
    Dec 15, 2016 5:15 PM - Kidpaler: It always dies around this time of year, finals for people, busy holiday shit. It'll pick up soon I imagine
    Dec 15, 2016 5:15 PM - Xyaminou: I don't know why you still expect a 10 year old proof of concept mod to suddenly become and stay popular
    Dec 15, 2016 5:16 PM - Ranger: only nice shiny gunz can save us
    Dec 15, 2016 5:16 PM - Kidpaler: Because it's not really "proof of concept" and I'm not expecting it to become popular. These are small little things that can be done to improve player count and make it more fun for all
    Dec 15, 2016 5:19 PM - Xyaminou: but it is a proof of concept, ask Krenzo
    Dec 15, 2016 5:20 PM - Kidpaler: Well, Krenzo gave up the reigns a while ago and considering there is active development goals of where this game is suppose to go, I don't think it qualifies as "proof of concept" anymore
    Dec 15, 2016 5:21 PM - Xyaminou: I do
    Dec 15, 2016 5:21 PM - Kidpaler: Great. Live 8 years in the past. The game is moving forward under a development goal.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:23 PM - Xyaminou: oh it is? Good thing you're telling me 'cause you couldn't tell just by looking at it.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:23 PM - Kidpaler: Theres plenty of shitty looking games that are much much more popular than Empires. Gameplay is what Empires offers and it does it quite well
    Dec 15, 2016 5:25 PM - Xyaminou: lol people playing popular games for gameplay
    Dec 15, 2016 5:25 PM - Kidpaler: Did I say popular games? No, I didn't. I said there are games that are MORE popular than Empires that look shitty as well
    Dec 15, 2016 5:26 PM - Xyaminou: Exactly, therefore people don't play games for gameplay
    Dec 15, 2016 5:26 PM - Xyaminou: therefore Empires having a more interesting gameplay than other games doesn't mean shit
    Dec 15, 2016 5:26 PM - Kidpaler: Yea, the target Audience for Empires isn't the Battlefield, COD, Red Orchestra or any of those players
    Dec 15, 2016 5:26 PM - Xyaminou: people have never gave a shit about RTS/FPS and they never will
    Dec 15, 2016 5:26 PM - Kidpaler: Well, yes it does... The problem with Empires is hardly ANYONE knows about it. Theres no trailer explaining what this game is about, just some screenshots which doesn't explain much
    Dec 15, 2016 5:27 PM - Kidpaler: People take a quick glance, see a couple screenshots and click off because theres nothing about gameplay on the page.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:28 PM - Kidpaler: Yea it looks like shit, which is why you have to highlight the gameplay
    Dec 15, 2016 5:28 PM - Xyaminou: lol even if as many people knew about it as popular it wouldn't have as much players
    Dec 15, 2016 5:28 PM - Xyaminou: stop dreaming
    Dec 15, 2016 5:28 PM - Kidpaler: Alright MrX, go live in your pessimistic world where everything is doom and gloom instead of, ya know, trying to do something about it.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:28 PM - Xyaminou: dude people don't give a shit about fucking gameplay, they don't want to fucking co-op, they don't want to fucking teamplay. Haven't you understood that by now?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:29 PM - Xyaminou: oh sure let's fucking lie to myself that'll make things better
    Dec 15, 2016 5:29 PM - Kidpaler: Yea cause spamming chatbox with EMPIRES IS DYING THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO STOP TRYING is totalllllllllllllllllllly helping
    Dec 15, 2016 5:30 PM - Xyaminou: lol who said anything helping
    Dec 15, 2016 5:30 PM - Xyaminou: or stop trying for that matter
    Dec 15, 2016 5:31 PM - Xyaminou: in fact I did give you a suggestion, but hey let's just gloss over that because you don't agree with me. That's fine.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:31 PM - Kidpaler: This game has a very specific niche, but there are PLENTY of people who like teamplay games
    Dec 15, 2016 5:31 PM - Kidpaler: Your suggestion, if I recall, was get a streamer with 10k to stream it. Yea, great, how do I approach him and show him what this game is about when theres 11 people on?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:31 PM - Xyaminou: like I said "plenty" doesn't mean as many as popular games
    Dec 15, 2016 5:31 PM - Xyaminou: well that's for you to figure out
    Dec 15, 2016 5:32 PM - Kidpaler: Im not trying to get this to be battlefield or COD levels of popularity, I'm simply trying to improve player count a little bit....
    Dec 15, 2016 5:32 PM - Xyaminou: apparently the game has great gameplay so you shouldn't have problem selling it to a popular streamer now, should you?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:32 PM - Xyaminou: and like I said, organise a PUG.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:33 PM - Lazybum: Where's alucard when you need him?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:33 PM - Lazybum: he's popped in a few times I think
    Dec 15, 2016 5:33 PM - Xyaminou: who's alucard
    Dec 15, 2016 5:34 PM - Ranger: Sounds like a tropical fruit
    Dec 15, 2016 5:34 PM - Ranger: I've heard it before I'm sure
    Dec 15, 2016 5:34 PM - Lazybum: give me a tic I'll find it
    Dec 15, 2016 5:34 PM - Kidpaler: The Streamer would need to be decent at the game otherwise you and others would shit on him during a PUG, which might actually be funny
    Dec 15, 2016 5:34 PM - Xyaminou: ranger that's because all the cool kids name themselves alucard
    Dec 15, 2016 5:34 PM - Xyaminou: because of some anime or other
    Dec 15, 2016 5:35 PM - Ranger: It should have remained a fruit!
    Dec 15, 2016 5:35 PM - Lazybum: alucard13mmfmj
    Dec 15, 2016 5:35 PM - Lazybum: he has a different youtube name though
    Dec 15, 2016 5:35 PM - Xyaminou: once more, you don't need to be good at Empires to be useful, you just need to communicate.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:36 PM - Kidpaler: His last video posted on Youtube was over a year ago Lazy
    Dec 15, 2016 5:36 PM - Kidpaler: That was a lie nvm
    Dec 15, 2016 5:36 PM - Ranger: Ye I always tell my gf that. she's afraid to play cause she's nub
    Dec 15, 2016 5:36 PM - Lazybum: I've seen poeple who can communicate lead thier team to defeat
    Dec 15, 2016 5:36 PM - Kidpaler: 12 hours ago
    Dec 15, 2016 5:36 PM - Lazybum: because they bad at game
    Dec 15, 2016 5:36 PM - Ranger: Xya ment "listen to your superiors"
    Dec 15, 2016 5:37 PM - Xyaminou: okay let me rephrase that, to participate in an Empires game you don't need to be good, but obviously if you don't know shit you shouldn't lead
    Dec 15, 2016 5:37 PM - Ranger: Not "express your opinion and annoying vets"
    Dec 15, 2016 5:37 PM - Xyaminou: obviously commanders and squadlead should know the game extensively
    Dec 15, 2016 5:37 PM - Xyaminou: everyone else on the other hand just has to listen
    Dec 15, 2016 5:38 PM - Kidpaler: Similar to games like Arma, shut up and listen to the superiors
    Dec 15, 2016 5:39 PM - Ranger: and currently without mic it's hard to let them know ur boss.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:39 PM - Ranger: like. you're*
    Dec 15, 2016 5:39 PM - Ranger: no your boss.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:39 PM - Ranger: not* fuck
    Dec 15, 2016 5:40 PM - Xyaminou: spelling, hard
    Dec 15, 2016 5:42 PM - Kidpaler: There's many things we could do, get a youtuber to post, post memes & funny videos etc
    Dec 15, 2016 5:43 PM - Kidpaler: Point is, we shouldn't just "give up" because game is old
    Dec 15, 2016 5:44 PM - Lazybum: Make empires extraordinarily fun at low pop so people are actually willing to play at low pop
    Dec 15, 2016 5:44 PM - Lazybum: instead of needing at least 30 to see "true" empires
    Dec 15, 2016 5:45 PM - Lazybum: empires has so many players on the weekend it could fill several other source mod servers
    Dec 15, 2016 5:45 PM - Lazybum: it's amazing
    Dec 15, 2016 5:45 PM - Xyaminou: Well if you've got an idea that doesn't interfere with 25vs25 games I'd like to hear it.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:45 PM - Lazybum: adaptable map expansion?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Xyaminou: I just don't see how a 5vs5 can as fun as 25vs25
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Thexa4: Misfire is working on bots
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Lazybum: cod is pretty fun at 5v5
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Kidpaler: Bots should be a high priority, at least dumb bots
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Lazybum: just need smaller maps
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Xyaminou: oh yeah it's great fun playing against bots, why do we play against players at all
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Xyaminou: CoD isn't fun to me
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Kidpaler: MrX, thats not the argument at all
    Dec 15, 2016 5:46 PM - Lazybum: i dunno, i see a lot of bots be smarter then players in other games
    Dec 15, 2016 5:47 PM - Kidpaler: Bots in this game, even at high pop, could be like the old Battlefront (which people still play in greater numbers than this)
    Dec 15, 2016 5:47 PM - Kidpaler: Just have them wandering around, not using tickets, but make them an element to make the games seem larger, therefore more fun
    Dec 15, 2016 5:48 PM - Lazybum: it works in titanfall
    Dec 15, 2016 5:48 PM - Xyaminou: I don't see how murdering random bots makes the game more fun
    Dec 15, 2016 5:48 PM - Kidpaler: It makes the game appear more populated.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:48 PM - Kidpaler: Would make Combined arms more of a thing
    Dec 15, 2016 5:48 PM - Xyaminou: it's pretty crowded already at 32vs32
    Dec 15, 2016 5:49 PM - Xyaminou: even on a max sized map like King
    Dec 15, 2016 5:49 PM - Kidpaler: Yea, but that is the problem. That doesn't happen anymore
    Dec 15, 2016 5:49 PM - Xyaminou: what do you mean it'd make combined arms more of a thing?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:49 PM - Kidpaler: Well at least not since november
    Dec 15, 2016 5:49 PM - Lazybum: it's less about shooting htem and them shooting you
    Dec 15, 2016 5:49 PM - Lazybum: i mean if bots could have stalker ai that would be awesome
    Dec 15, 2016 5:49 PM - Xyaminou: well if they shoot at me then I shoot at them, so it is about shooting at them
    Dec 15, 2016 5:49 PM - Lazybum: then it would be a real challange
    Dec 15, 2016 5:50 PM - Kidpaler: Because, it gives the illusion of combined arms
    Dec 15, 2016 5:50 PM - Xyaminou: I don't care about AIs being challenging it'll never be the same as fighting players
    Dec 15, 2016 5:50 PM - Kidpaler: Imagine driving a tank with bots following your tank
    Dec 15, 2016 5:50 PM - Xyaminou: an illusion is a lie
    Dec 15, 2016 5:51 PM - Xyaminou: why would I want to play a lie
    Dec 15, 2016 5:51 PM - Xyaminou: when I can have the real thing, with players
    Dec 15, 2016 5:51 PM - Ranger: I like bots. Advanced AI could give room to AI choppers. For a few open map. Some open space Official maps would need to be updated and have specific pathways for da choppah. Or give Choppah to the comm? Requesting Air Support!
    Dec 15, 2016 5:51 PM - Kidpaler: Because, again, the experience you want MrX isn't happening
    Dec 15, 2016 5:51 PM - Kidpaler: This is to give the illusion of more players. Happened all the time on RO2 for me
    Dec 15, 2016 5:52 PM - Xyaminou: so I should instead play something I don't want to play?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:52 PM - Lazybum: ro2 bots are too dumb
    Dec 15, 2016 5:52 PM - Lazybum: :(
    Dec 15, 2016 5:52 PM - Xyaminou: because I can't have shoes I should shoot myself in the foot?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:52 PM - Ranger: red orchestra?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:52 PM - Kidpaler: I'd be playing on a full server, as night went on people left then 2 rounds later I'd realize I was against bots and leave, but it got me to stay for 2 more rounds because they continued to fight
    Dec 15, 2016 5:52 PM - Lazybum: that's the kinda attitude someone has when they just want to shoot things
    Dec 15, 2016 5:53 PM - Xyaminou: good for you?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:53 PM - Xyaminou: exactly, I don't just want to shoot things
    Dec 15, 2016 5:53 PM - Kidpaler: Bots would add a lot for this game. It already gets people to stay
    Dec 15, 2016 5:53 PM - Lazybum: Yeah, see
    Dec 15, 2016 5:53 PM - Lazybum: bots aren't for high pop games
    Dec 15, 2016 5:53 PM - Lazybum: they are for helping to seed low pop
    Dec 15, 2016 5:53 PM - Xyaminou: bots aren't for anything
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Lazybum: i mena scrat can't seed servers by himself forever
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Kidpaler: Yes, Yes they are.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Ranger: Imagine spawning bots in the raxes? Drop 5 raxes and spam bots. They don't cost tickets and you're full of money.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Kidpaler: Bots help already seed servers.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Kidpaler: Ranger, there would be a limit I would believe
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Xyaminou: they don't
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Lazybum: ok, so no bots
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Lazybum: how ot get poeple to play empty server?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Xyaminou: I never joined the bot server and I never will
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Kidpaler: Yes they do. People join Misfire's server, play on it, then people continually join and then eventually you have enough to go over to nubs
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Kidpaler: Great, thats your problem MrX
    Dec 15, 2016 5:54 PM - Thexa4: It's currently not possible to spawn more bots than the playercount will allow
    Dec 15, 2016 5:55 PM - Kidpaler: Quit attributing your problems to everyone else
    Dec 15, 2016 5:55 PM - Ranger: that's bad
    Dec 15, 2016 5:55 PM - Xyaminou: well it's obviously not just my problem or that'd be more people joining that server
    Dec 15, 2016 5:55 PM - Ranger: we need more soldiers to crash the server efficiently
    Dec 15, 2016 5:55 PM - Xyaminou: which there aren't
    Dec 15, 2016 5:56 PM - Kidpaler: MrX, I have joined many times at night where I see people on the bot server. It gets up to around 10 players on it then we all go over to NUBS
    Dec 15, 2016 5:56 PM - Xyaminou: you get people to play on empty servers by having let's call them "popular hours"
    Dec 15, 2016 5:56 PM - Xyaminou: where people are expected to join
    Dec 15, 2016 5:56 PM - Xyaminou: only reason I join on the weekends
    Dec 15, 2016 5:56 PM - Lazybum: expectations are so disappointing
    Dec 15, 2016 5:56 PM - Xyaminou: well that's life
    Dec 15, 2016 5:56 PM - Xyaminou: welcome to life
    Dec 15, 2016 5:56 PM - Xyaminou: welcome to Empires
    Dec 15, 2016 5:57 PM - Lazybum: no
    Dec 15, 2016 5:57 PM - Kidpaler: Yea exactly, your fine with the status quo and not fixing anything or trying to help out at all
    Dec 15, 2016 5:57 PM - Lazybum: i demand death
    Dec 15, 2016 5:57 PM - Lazybum: Sweet sweet death
    Dec 15, 2016 5:57 PM - Lazybum: so i can live an undeath life
    Dec 15, 2016 5:57 PM - Lazybum: hohoho
    Dec 15, 2016 5:57 PM - Lazybum: then it's a party all the time
    Dec 15, 2016 5:57 PM - Xyaminou: Should I just spend 5 years learning programming to save a lost cause
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Kidpaler: DId I say that?
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Kidpaler: No. I didn't.
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Xyaminou: yes
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Lazybum: it doesn't take a year
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Lazybum: takes about 6 months
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Lazybum: maybe more if you want to write decent code
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Xyaminou: that was a figure of speech
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Xyaminou: whatever you call it
    Dec 15, 2016 5:58 PM - Xyaminou: "everyone is a coder now"
    Dec 15, 2016 5:59 PM - Xyaminou: and then you end up with shit code everywhere
    Dec 15, 2016 5:59 PM - Kidpaler: Which is why Thexa and Tama screen people who want to code, making sure they can
    Dec 15, 2016 6:00 PM - Xyaminou: yes to re-write a dead game
    Dec 15, 2016 6:00 PM - Lazybum: better to start on that port
    Dec 15, 2016 6:00 PM - Lazybum: there' slike 4 differnet versions availble
    Dec 15, 2016 6:00 PM - Kidpaler: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND there we go with negativity again. You know, life is usually better if you aren't negative all the time
    Dec 15, 2016 6:00 PM - Kidpaler: Lazy, they are waiting on Source 2
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Xyaminou: Again, I'll just lie to myself that will make things objectively better.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Kidpaler: what WOULD be best is write Valve, ask for a copy of source 2 to port to show as an "example" that modding is easy so it can be released as one of the first Source 2 mods/game
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Xyaminou: If you're crazy enough to believe Empires isn't a dead game and a lost cause that's lucky you.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Xyaminou: I'm not
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Kidpaler: It's not dead, thats the thing. Noobs join all the time, you complain about it in game all the time
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Kidpaler: calling them "fucking retards"
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Xyaminou: ...
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Xyaminou: oh here we go
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Xyaminou: ladies and gentlemen
    Dec 15, 2016 6:01 PM - Kidpaler: Im not starting that argument, I'm stating a fact.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:02 PM - Xyaminou: it's my fault that no one stays on Empires
    Dec 15, 2016 6:02 PM - Xyaminou: there you have it
    Dec 15, 2016 6:02 PM - Kidpaler: Yep, totally your fault, TOTALLY even though you only get on on weekends
    Dec 15, 2016 6:02 PM - Kidpaler: You are the fault Empires doesn't keep noobs during the weekdays as well
    Dec 15, 2016 6:02 PM - Xyaminou: Yep, 100%
    Dec 15, 2016 6:02 PM - Xyaminou: exactly
    Dec 15, 2016 6:02 PM - Kidpaler: Glad we reached that conclusion quickly
    Dec 15, 2016 6:03 PM - Xyaminou: clearly if i stop playing Empires the population will rise
    Dec 15, 2016 6:03 PM - Xyaminou: might even get more players than DOta
    Dec 15, 2016 6:03 PM - Kidpaler: My point in that was, there are noobs. Noobs doesn't mean dead as people are still joining to try it out because it sounds interesting and my evidence is because you call the noobs retards, soeven you know it has noobs
    Dec 15, 2016 6:03 PM - Omneh: Empires holds a special place in my heart and I still check the forums semi-regularly
    Dec 15, 2016 6:03 PM - Xyaminou: Oh god you scared me coming out of your grave like that
    Dec 15, 2016 6:03 PM - Omneh: as my appearance out of fucking nowhere in this chatbox proves
    Dec 15, 2016 6:03 PM - Omneh: lel
    Dec 15, 2016 6:04 PM - Omneh: anyhow, I can't really play the game anymore
    Dec 15, 2016 6:04 PM - Omneh: why?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:04 PM - Xyaminou: lucky you
    Dec 15, 2016 6:05 PM - Xyaminou: sorry, blabber on.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:05 PM - Omneh: it isn't because of changes made by the brave souls who still bother to develop this game, frankly the script meta has never really been that much of a big deal except when 2.2 came out and turned all the guns into air rifles
    Dec 15, 2016 6:05 PM - Ranger: I can but play it, but can't exit. Wanna exchange?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:06 PM - Xyaminou: lol
    Dec 15, 2016 6:06 PM - Lazybum: 2.2 was poop indeed
    Dec 15, 2016 6:06 PM - Omneh: it's because I've been spoiled by newer games
    Dec 15, 2016 6:06 PM - Omneh: Empires looks and feels so damn dated
    Dec 15, 2016 6:06 PM - Lazybum: i think the wait of source 2 isn't going to be a favorable wait
    Dec 15, 2016 6:06 PM - Xyaminou: Dota, uh?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:06 PM - Omneh: nah never got into that
    Dec 15, 2016 6:06 PM - Lazybum: it's going ot be disappointing to say the least I feel
    Dec 15, 2016 6:08 PM - Omneh: HL2 hasn't aged well and by extension Empires hasn't either because the feel of the game (stuff like player movement, gun handling, what happens when you get shot) is effectively imported from HL2
    Dec 15, 2016 6:10 PM - Omneh: as well as that, the game just looks bad in terms of both assets and level design, there's never really been a coherent art direction aside from BE = SPACE NAZIS and NF = PLUCKY REBELS
    Dec 15, 2016 6:10 PM - Omneh: and all of this is a fucking shame because Empires is totally unique and I love it when theres a good game on and I can nostalgia for a couple of hours
    Dec 15, 2016 6:11 PM - Omneh: I can't think of any other games which go so far to ensure every single game is never the same (via buildings, research ect)
    Dec 15, 2016 6:12 PM - Omneh: it's not like source is a drawback either, just look at Titanfall
    Dec 15, 2016 6:12 PM - Omneh: or Dear Esther
    Dec 15, 2016 6:12 PM - Kidpaler: Part of the problem is the maps I think
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Kidpaler: Some maps look amazing, Insurrection, Massacred, etc
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Omneh: you stab me in the heart
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Xyaminou: I agree the handling of the game feels pretty bad in general, but I don't mind the graphics that much.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Omneh: <3
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Kidpaler: But others like Slaughtered look... bad
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Thexa4: We have a lot we can do with the current engine but lack the designers
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Ranger: IMO dev should be focused on interesting fun weapons and tanks, then visual improvements as well as maps and UI. Coding should focus on weapon fuctions etc. (fixing the game is obviously the 1st step)
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Kidpaler: They really just need new textures for the grass and stuff
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - Kidpaler: Add the grass sprites around with bushes etc
    Dec 15, 2016 6:13 PM - NekoBaron: midbridge is awesome, we cant play it because most people suck or stack to get the map over with and complain because its too big, when its fine.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:14 PM - Thexa4: New tanks can already be added without any code support
    Dec 15, 2016 6:14 PM - Omneh: mate I used to map, it's more than just new grass textures that are needed
    Dec 15, 2016 6:14 PM - Xyaminou: ^
    Dec 15, 2016 6:14 PM - NekoBaron: I wonder what the up was aimed at
    Dec 15, 2016 6:14 PM - Xyaminou: new tanks won't make the game feel or look any better
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Ranger: First of all HL2 episode assets cannot be used
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Ranger: they would need to be put in the bsp of the map
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Kidpaler: Well yea, but textures would probably be the biggest thing for improvement that is right away noticeable
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Ranger: which increases size
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Kidpaler: Since they repeat and are everywhere
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Omneh: should be looking to ditch HL2 assets entirely
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Omneh: but who's gonna model for that
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Xyaminou: no textures wouldn't do much at all
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - NekoBaron: lets discuss the shitty weapon and game balance..... banned...
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Kidpaler: Neko, that's not the issue for new players
    Dec 15, 2016 6:15 PM - Kidpaler: Which is what this is aimed at more
    Dec 15, 2016 6:16 PM - Ranger: You can do nice things for mapping with HL2 assets
    Dec 15, 2016 6:16 PM - Omneh: well, problem with modellers isn't that they're in short supply, rather than nobody gives them a list of things to do nor seemingly any input back into the game
    Dec 15, 2016 6:16 PM - NekoBaron: empires does need better modeler skills, 3 models for 1 flag instead of 1 model with 3 skins...
    Dec 15, 2016 6:17 PM - Omneh: and also, it's kinda hard to model stuff when all you've got to go on is "MAKE A BETTER LOOKING AFV"
    Dec 15, 2016 6:17 PM - Omneh: I mean, what's better looking?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:17 PM - Kidpaler: I think there does need to be a design concept
    Dec 15, 2016 6:17 PM - NekoBaron: the game will render no build and other emp brushes if not made of nodraw which is lazy, source dont show trigger brushes.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:17 PM - Kidpaler: Like BE is based off of X, NF is based off of Y
    Dec 15, 2016 6:17 PM - Kidpaler: BE should get that Nazi Imperial feel, thats how i feel about BE
    Dec 15, 2016 6:18 PM - Omneh: pfft, it's so overdone tbh
    Dec 15, 2016 6:18 PM - NekoBaron: BE = Space Balls
    Dec 15, 2016 6:18 PM - Thexa4: I can give anyone access to textures from gametextures.com
    Dec 15, 2016 6:18 PM - Thexa4: (if needed)
    Dec 15, 2016 6:18 PM - Omneh: I've always thought BRITISH EMPIRE IN SPACE would be cooler
    Dec 15, 2016 6:18 PM - Kidpaler: Thats like NF though Omneh, especially with the heavy
    Dec 15, 2016 6:19 PM - Kidpaler: Eh I take that back
    Dec 15, 2016 6:19 PM - Kidpaler: Heavy is only thing remotely NF looking
    Dec 15, 2016 6:19 PM - ScardyBob: If anyone is looking to model something, I could certainly use so BE and NF flavored inf structures (pill boxes, small lookout towers, etc)
    Dec 15, 2016 6:19 PM - Omneh: https://33.media.tumblr.com/e3a850d23c2b762558243b30f76b3a1f/tumblr_inline_njbi2uraII1sk0gtu.jpg
    Dec 15, 2016 6:19 PM - Kidpaler: I believe there were some posted from Echelon weren there Scardy?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:19 PM - Omneh: A E S T H E T I C
    Dec 15, 2016 6:19 PM - NekoBaron: Steal the style of firefly, BE = the military and NF be the browncoats.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:20 PM - Xyaminou: is that Sean Bean?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:20 PM - Omneh: awww yiss
    Dec 15, 2016 6:20 PM - Kidpaler: We talk about models, but then no one is going to model.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:20 PM - Ranger: Did he die
    Dec 15, 2016 6:20 PM - Kidpaler: Which is the problem, and why attention should be more tailored to the gameplay rather than appearance
    Dec 15, 2016 6:20 PM - Xyaminou: lol ranger
    Dec 15, 2016 6:20 PM - Xyaminou: you're the best
    Dec 15, 2016 6:20 PM - Omneh: total disagreement Kidpaler, sorry
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - Omneh: appearance is half the game
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - Omneh: probably more
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - NekoBaron: no one really wants to waste time for a near dead game with only 1 real server running :/, the default cfg that comes with the dedicated server is poorly set up.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - Xyaminou: ditching source engine is 100% of the game
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - Xyaminou: coming up with a new design plan is how you'd move forward
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - Kidpaler: Another engine won't make the shit look better, it'd polish the shit, but in the end, it's still shit
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - Ranger: i just want better weapons and features on weapons and tank customization
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - Xyaminou: instead of trying to patch up shit
    Dec 15, 2016 6:21 PM - Omneh: and frankly it seems like the attention being paid to gameplay consists of tweaking the same broken model endlessly and expecting the game to get better
    Dec 15, 2016 6:22 PM - NekoBaron: remake on gmod? we get all the billions of plyers, kiddies, phys gun the CV when griefed and lua customisation?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:22 PM - Ranger: Lua is stronk
    Dec 15, 2016 6:22 PM - Thexa4: @NekoBaron, if you can give me a better default cfg I can look into getting it in the base game
    Dec 15, 2016 6:23 PM - Omneh: problem is when people talk about remaking the game on a new engine everyone goes BIGGER IS BETTER ERMAGERD
    Dec 15, 2016 6:23 PM - Xyaminou: Design plan + visual concept + team + kickstarter = revive Empires
    Dec 15, 2016 6:23 PM - NekoBaron: thexe I dont know what a good cfg is, ask creeper since they have practiclly the only running server, I dont know what needs setting I just know the default is bad.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:23 PM - Omneh: regarding maps at least, because everyone dreams of jet fighters
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - Kidpaler: You'd need a proof of concept, and people willing to dedicate their time to Empires for a living
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - Ranger: Just wait until I get rich. I will have you all working for me
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - Omneh: I'd argue that Empires gameplay is actually pretty dependent on being crammed into a fairly small space
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - Kidpaler: If the map is too big, you run into never seeing anyone which I hate
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - Omneh: ^ battlefield in a nutshell
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - Kidpaler: Sinai desert especially for BF1
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - Xyaminou: well battlefield has other bigger problems
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - ScardyBob: Thats why we need battleblimpz!
    Dec 15, 2016 6:24 PM - NekoBaron: I personally think 60 man games is shitty for empires and its better focused on 20v20 ish else you have too much going on.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - Xyaminou: than never running into anyone
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - Xyaminou: in battlefield there are no clear frontlines and no dynamic covers
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - Omneh: I mean, you could have helicopters if you could have aircraft only areas outside the map to allow for maneuvering
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - Xyaminou: so you end up being shot in the back
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - Xyaminou: or unable to push
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - Omneh: Xyaminou why am I agreeing with you so much
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - Kidpaler: Because it is a legit problem
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - Xyaminou: ;)
    Dec 15, 2016 6:25 PM - NekoBaron: helicopters would work for slow moving but we all know people would exploit it and build out of map.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:26 PM - Omneh: that's just bad mapping
    Dec 15, 2016 6:26 PM - Xyaminou: the only dynamic cover in BF is smoke grenades and IR which all tanks have see through it.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:26 PM - Kidpaler: Source can't do air I feel
    Dec 15, 2016 6:26 PM - Omneh: anyhow, helicopters aren't possible without engine access tbh
    Dec 15, 2016 6:26 PM - Xyaminou: and it's been like that since what, BF2?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:26 PM - Thexa4: Why wouldn't helicopters be possible?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:26 PM - NekoBaron: you can fake helicopters frankly and source engine is open
    Dec 15, 2016 6:27 PM - Thexa4: It would be a lot of work, but shouldn't be impossible.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:27 PM - Omneh: oh you can definitely have helicopters in source, if you don't mind crashing into the sky
    Dec 15, 2016 6:27 PM - ScardyBob: harryhoot was able to make dropships with the mapping tools
    Dec 15, 2016 6:27 PM - Kidpaler: Very, very shitty ones
    Dec 15, 2016 6:27 PM - Kidpaler: But they worked
    Dec 15, 2016 6:27 PM - Xyaminou: lol yeah what a great feel they have
    Dec 15, 2016 6:28 PM - Ranger: I have flied realistic Helicopters in Gmod. Very well made tbh
    Dec 15, 2016 6:28 PM - Kidpaler: Those are lua arent they?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:28 PM - Ranger: Ye
    Dec 15, 2016 6:28 PM - Xyaminou: did they even feel good?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:28 PM - Omneh: You're missing the point guys
    Dec 15, 2016 6:28 PM - Ranger: They, did. Pretty hard to fly at first. The weapons felt good.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:28 PM - Kidpaler: I think there should be a roadmap posted on here TBH, a pinned topic.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:29 PM - Omneh: sure you can have helicopters
    Dec 15, 2016 6:29 PM - Xyaminou: no space for them
    Dec 15, 2016 6:29 PM - Kidpaler: A roadmap detailing what they want to do, the design of the game, where they could use help (public appeal for help), etc
    Dec 15, 2016 6:29 PM - Xyaminou: yes
    Dec 15, 2016 6:29 PM - Ranger: *Hard they were made to fly with joystick*
    Dec 15, 2016 6:29 PM - Kidpaler: We really need a roadmap posted. People could see where they could help and volunteer
    Dec 15, 2016 6:29 PM - Omneh: no space for them, you'd need to have an aircraft only area outside the map
    Dec 15, 2016 6:30 PM - Omneh: and also need to still be able to shoot them with missiles guns ect
    Dec 15, 2016 6:30 PM - Omneh: and for them to be able to shoot back
    Dec 15, 2016 6:30 PM - Lazybum: We have a couple of threads on that, things that devs(at least beerdude) wanted done. No one responded though
    Dec 15, 2016 6:30 PM - Omneh: it gets very complex very quickly
    Dec 15, 2016 6:30 PM - Ranger: Half life too has choppers in smaller maps. I would be happy to have one single AI Chopper in the game that follows specific paths in maps like dustorm or canyon.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:30 PM - Ranger: "too" wtf two*
    Dec 15, 2016 6:30 PM - Xyaminou: is beerdude still helping out?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:30 PM - ScardyBob: hover APCs :)
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Kidpaler: No, life took over for him
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Thexa4: we don't plan to support scale changes or aircraft in the near future
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Kidpaler: I spoke to him recently, he posts on Reddit often MrX
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Omneh: well the problem is that you're trying to crowdsource an extremely dated and complex RTS/FPS
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Kidpaler: I spoke to him about that "commander time" that he was working on
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Xyaminou: ^
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Omneh: you can't just post a list of things you'd like and expect them to happen
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Xyaminou: what omneh said
    Dec 15, 2016 6:31 PM - Thexa4: Something like this could work though: https://liandri.beyondunreal.com/Manta
    Dec 15, 2016 6:32 PM - Ranger: Sven Co-op is 50 times older than empires and has more players.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:32 PM - Kidpaler: Well yea, of course. However, you could post a Development Roadmap of what NEEDS to be done and people may come to help out. It'd be a public appeal
    Dec 15, 2016 6:32 PM - Xyaminou: Unreal vehicles were so fun
    Dec 15, 2016 6:32 PM - Kidpaler: I'm not saying it'd get people to help, but it might.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:32 PM - Lazybum: there was a model done by don megel I think
    Dec 15, 2016 6:32 PM - Lazybum: that looked a little like that, but more as a helicopter sized thing
    Dec 15, 2016 6:33 PM - Omneh: public appeals don't work, just look at syria
    Dec 15, 2016 6:33 PM - Xyaminou: yes the NF hovercraft
    Dec 15, 2016 6:33 PM - Kidpaler: I believe there's NF models for aircraft. I know the sounds exist for all aircraft including flares, ejection seats, landing etc
    Dec 15, 2016 6:33 PM - Omneh: sorry to be a cynical dick but it's been tried man
    Dec 15, 2016 6:33 PM - Kidpaler: Well yea, public appeal doesn't always work but it's always good to keep the community you are developing for informed
    Dec 15, 2016 6:33 PM - Kidpaler: An informed community is more likely to help out
    Dec 15, 2016 6:34 PM - Ranger: Didn't you guys ever played Modern Warfare 1? It was the last COD I played. You could summon helicopters after 7 kills or something. I'm talking about something like that for empires.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:34 PM - Xyaminou: yeah the all of 10 people that read the forums
    Dec 15, 2016 6:34 PM - Lazybum: Hated those things, kill streaks were and still are a retarded concept
    Dec 15, 2016 6:34 PM - Lazybum: what x said, forums don't get enough traffic from poeple who could possibly help out
    Dec 15, 2016 6:34 PM - Ranger: Ye but imagining summoning a choppa to kill the artillery behind the enemy lines?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:35 PM - Omneh: just go for helicopters, make the game look modern and pretty first and say "IF VALVE GIVE US ENGINE ACCESS WE'LL GIVE YOU HELICOPTERS LOL"
    Dec 15, 2016 6:35 PM - Kidpaler: Ranger, if anything the scout binocs should lock onto a target/area and a plane comes and drops a bomb
    Dec 15, 2016 6:35 PM - Lazybum: I use arty strike but I guess a heli is nice too
    Dec 15, 2016 6:35 PM - Xyaminou: Yeah let's make DLCs for everyone
    Dec 15, 2016 6:35 PM - Thexa4: Forums get 833 users a month
    Dec 15, 2016 6:35 PM - Thexa4: +-
    Dec 15, 2016 6:35 PM - Lazybum: are like 90% of htem bots?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:35 PM - Ranger: Bombs are harder to make them to work pretty imo
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Thexa4: no
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Xyaminou: lol not different users, or bots yeah.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Lazybum: wowser
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Kidpaler: People do check the forums. Theres 19 guests now probably watching us
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Ranger: Can guests read teh chat?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Kidpaler: Yea
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Xyaminou: bots
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Lazybum: I say those guests are the usual poeple, but just haven't signed on
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Kidpaler: Like seriously, a development roadmap would go a good ways I feel to keep people informed etc
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Thexa4: 4300 sessons a month
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Lazybum: make a trello board, put things up
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Ranger: I signed in after years
    Dec 15, 2016 6:36 PM - Kidpaler: Lazy, there was one night I was on that had like 80 guest users, not sure what that was about
    Dec 15, 2016 6:37 PM - Lazybum: trello boards are hot
    Dec 15, 2016 6:37 PM - Xyaminou: "development roadmap: re-code the game"
    Dec 15, 2016 6:37 PM - Xyaminou: done
    Dec 15, 2016 6:37 PM - Xyaminou: fake users, bots
    Dec 15, 2016 6:37 PM - Lazybum: oh, this reminds me. I gotta make a minimap for something
    Dec 15, 2016 6:37 PM - Ranger: Ask help from universities
    Dec 15, 2016 6:37 PM - Lazybum: audios
    Dec 15, 2016 6:37 PM - Xyaminou: lol
    Dec 15, 2016 6:38 PM - Ranger: People look into shit to put stuff in their curriculums
    Dec 15, 2016 6:38 PM - Ranger: like maybe in 10000
    Dec 15, 2016 6:38 PM - Ranger: I meant 100.000
    Dec 15, 2016 6:38 PM - Kidpaler: Yea that is true. People may help out so they can use it as "I made this for this" to show they can do stuff
    Dec 15, 2016 6:39 PM - Xyaminou: this is gonna go well
    Dec 15, 2016 6:39 PM - Kidpaler: Im not saying we should do that
    Dec 15, 2016 6:39 PM - Kidpaler: Im just saying people do
    Dec 15, 2016 6:39 PM - Xyaminou: who was it that took over at some point and wanted to use the entire game as a project for his university stuff
    Dec 15, 2016 6:39 PM - ScardyBob: "look guis, i made a rock cube"
    Dec 15, 2016 6:39 PM - Xyaminou: and claim he did it all
    Dec 15, 2016 6:40 PM - Omneh: MOOtant
    Dec 15, 2016 6:40 PM - Ranger: Where did I put the "We are hiring" thread?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:40 PM - Omneh: I think
    Dec 15, 2016 6:40 PM - Xyaminou: was it mootant? I can't remember
    Dec 15, 2016 6:40 PM - Omneh: might have been that guy who changed the colour of the missile trails then ran off with the code
    Dec 15, 2016 6:40 PM - Xyaminou: anyway, this was Krenzo's university project or something like that so
    Dec 15, 2016 6:40 PM - Xyaminou: meh
    Dec 15, 2016 6:41 PM - Omneh: that's also a huge problem
    Dec 15, 2016 6:41 PM - NekoBaron: Empires development is a mess
    Dec 15, 2016 6:41 PM - Kidpaler: Empires development kind of is, there should be goals and assignments kind of
    Dec 15, 2016 6:41 PM - Xyaminou: thanks Neko
    Dec 15, 2016 6:41 PM - Ranger: I think it's better than what it used to be...
    Dec 15, 2016 6:41 PM - Kidpaler: I know its people offering their time, but that means no one ever wants to work on the other stuff
    Dec 15, 2016 6:41 PM - Kidpaler: Oh it is
    Dec 15, 2016 6:42 PM - Kidpaler: It's much more organized and has kind of a design document
    Dec 15, 2016 6:42 PM - NekoBaron: offering free time not the same as actually improving the game
    Dec 15, 2016 6:42 PM - Thexa4: We actually have goals and issues that get assigned.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:42 PM - Thexa4: But they're often rather short term
    Dec 15, 2016 6:42 PM - Omneh: anyone with the ability to seriously overhaul the game is not going to want to share the credit with absent developers
    Dec 15, 2016 6:43 PM - Xyaminou: I'll just have to take your word for as I've yet to see a design plan
    Dec 15, 2016 6:43 PM - Thexa4: Why do you think that?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:43 PM - Thexa4: @Xaminou, what do you mean with a design plan?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:43 PM - Omneh: because creative types like things to be theirs
    Dec 15, 2016 6:43 PM - Kidpaler: Yea the design document/roadmap I believe should be posted. Inform the community, say where people COULD help out etc
    Dec 15, 2016 6:43 PM - Omneh: working on empires is the equivalent of writing fanfiction
    Dec 15, 2016 6:44 PM - Xyaminou: what do you mean, what do I mean? Design plan sounds pretty clear
    Dec 15, 2016 6:44 PM - Omneh: ie. something you do when you're a kid then move onto original stuff
    Dec 15, 2016 6:44 PM - ScardyBob: brb shipping a NF jeep and BE Heavy
    Dec 15, 2016 6:44 PM - Omneh: bahahahahahahaha
    Dec 15, 2016 6:44 PM - Thexa4: Hm, doesn't feel that way to me yet, but maybe I'm just a kid :)
    Dec 15, 2016 6:44 PM - Xyaminou: what is the plan?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:45 PM - Xyaminou: can't make that any clearer
    Dec 15, 2016 6:45 PM - NekoBaron: how I think empires develotment is, a bunch of devs work on their section then hope it fits with everyone elses. Thats the impression I get. I dont see the teamwork connecting much.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:45 PM - Omneh: Neko YES
    Dec 15, 2016 6:45 PM - Thexa4: @xaminou, the term design plan isn't very clear to me, some people have different ideas on what the plan should be about.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:45 PM - Kidpaler: Thats the problem Thexa, there needs to be one overall design plan
    Dec 15, 2016 6:45 PM - Kidpaler: Posted for the communtiy to see
    Dec 15, 2016 6:45 PM - Kidpaler: For all devs to follow
    Dec 15, 2016 6:45 PM - Omneh: I think people in the community need to stop wanking over the community
    Dec 15, 2016 6:46 PM - Omneh: whoops, forgot quotation marks on "the community"
    Dec 15, 2016 6:46 PM - Xyaminou: but omneh, wanking is what I do best
    Dec 15, 2016 6:46 PM - Omneh: ha
    Dec 15, 2016 6:46 PM - NekoBaron: When I was at uni, one of the moduals we did as a 3 man team was make a game engine in xna, we worked seperatly at first, it was terrible and didnt work or connect to the other parts...
    Dec 15, 2016 6:46 PM - Omneh: same here buddy, same here
    Dec 15, 2016 6:46 PM - Ranger: I graduated from wanking university.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:46 PM - A-z-K: What community. Yes there should be a clear design, no it shouldn't be beholden to a bunch of grumpy old forum trolls
    Dec 15, 2016 6:47 PM - Xyaminou: so, what's the plan then?
    Dec 15, 2016 6:47 PM - Xyaminou: still waiting to hear it out
    Dec 15, 2016 6:47 PM - Omneh: but yeah, this whole community groupthink thing is A: offputting to potential developers, B: actively disruptive to development
    Dec 15, 2016 6:47 PM - A-z-K: Theres no more consensus here than there is in the dev team I;m sure
    Dec 15, 2016 6:47 PM - Kidpaler: There needs to be a unified design plan to allow people to work towards one common goal rather than separate ideas of where the game should go. I know I talked to Smithy and he said he doesn't feel like he has anything to do
    Dec 15, 2016 6:47 PM - Kidpaler: Or know what to do
    Dec 15, 2016 6:47 PM - Kidpaler: Omneh, I'm not saying "debate" the design plan on the forums, I'm saying post it and this is set in stone. It is demoralizing to developers to be told everything they do is shit, so just post it to let people know where its going
    Dec 15, 2016 6:48 PM - Omneh: THIS IS HAPPENING BITCHES GET OVER IT
    Dec 15, 2016 6:48 PM - NekoBaron: I'ld like to see more updates that just improve the game.engine.modernise it without being part of a stupid random balance patch...
    Dec 15, 2016 6:48 PM - Kidpaler: Exactly, something along that line.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:48 PM - Kidpaler: There needs to be that unified vision in the dev team, then they need to inform the community what is happening along with the other devs
    Dec 15, 2016 6:49 PM - Kidpaler: Like I said, I talked to Smithy and he doesn't even know where to contribute really because there doesn't seem to be any overall design
    Dec 15, 2016 6:49 PM - NekoBaron: I look at the patch notes, I see good things, get to the wild crazy new weapons and balances and just think, egh fuck it.
    Dec 15, 2016 6:49 PM - Xyaminou: honestly if there was at least a weekly scripts update it'd probably keep people a bit more interested
    Dec 15, 2016 6:49 PM - Omneh: NO MORE SCRIPTS JESUS CHRIST
    Dec 15, 2016 6:49 PM - Xyaminou: instead there hasn't been an update in months
    Dec 15, 2016 6:49 PM - ScardyBob: Where is my shotgun that shoots jeeps???
    Dec 15, 2016 6:49 PM - Xyaminou: and it would allow for a smoother change
    Dec 15, 2016 6:49 PM - Thexa4: I can do weekly script updates for you if we have enough people that want to test each week
    Dec 15, 2016 6:50 PM - Omneh: Seriously, scripts are the worst thing in this game ever
    Dec 15, 2016 6:50 PM - Kidpaler: Well thats the thing, if its small changes it doesnt really need testing
    Dec 15, 2016 6:50 PM - Omneh: everyone obsesses over them and they're a developmental dead end
    Dec 15, 2016 6:50 PM - Ranger: we need lua to make shotguns that shoot jeeps

    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:50 PM - Omneh: I knew this five years ago
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:50 PM - Kidpaler: Like changing an armors HP value by 1-2 doesnt really do much and could be easily implemented each week
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:50 PM - Kidpaler: Would keep the meta Fresh
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:50 PM - Omneh: "the meta" makes the game even more inaccessible
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:50 PM - Xyaminou: omneh, I'm not obsessed with them, balance almost doesn't matter to me
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Xyaminou: but it's the only thing Security does
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Xyaminou: and he does it anyway
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Omneh: I'm not attacking you xya sorry if it looked like that
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Xyaminou: so might as well do it right
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Thexa4: Unfortunately I need to leave, you can contact me through discord or DM if anyone wants to know something from me
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Kidpaler: Cya Thexa
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Omneh: ADIOS
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Kidpaler: Scripts shouldnt be "balanced", as Trickster said it should be made to make the game fun
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - A-z-K: balance really doesn't make that much difference to the game. Weapons aren't varied enough in their mechanics. Research has always beena commander minigame
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - vipervicki: x..that was a fake rumor started about candles and no truth to it..what you mentioned earlier
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Xyaminou: it didn't, and you're right, almost everyone is obessed by scripts, which is why I'm suggesting a weekly update, let people catter to their illusions that scripts matter
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:51 PM - Ranger: which leads to my point
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:52 PM - vipervicki: big part of why he quit
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:52 PM - Kidpaler: Exactly, each weapon should be UNIQUE in function
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:52 PM - Kidpaler: Plasma needs to overheat again
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:52 PM - Ranger: >more features
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:52 PM - Kidpaler: We have sacrificed variety and uniqueness for balance, a terrible compromise.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:53 PM - Ranger: unique or not doesnt matter. NF is separatists and scavengers, they can you watafak they want
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:53 PM - ScardyBob: exactly, my jeep shotgun is unique!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:53 PM - Ranger: use&
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:53 PM - A-z-K: Everythign will basicalll remain the same unless someone has a serious amount of time to invest into making more original weapons that function differently
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:53 PM - Ranger: can't spell today
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:53 PM - Kidpaler: I honestly think we should grab the OLD scripts that were unique, take the best from them and combine them with what we have now
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:53 PM - NekoBaron: someone tried making new scripts to test a rebalancing but its usless if you cant get enough players to test anything.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:54 PM - A-z-K: Which just means nobody really dislikes the current balance enough to try something else
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:54 PM - Kidpaler: Or it was at a bad time. I clearly remember telling you it was scheduled at a TERRIBLE time
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:55 PM - NekoBaron: or they quit playing and dont tell you about it.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:55 PM - A-z-K: because unless you totally break Everything it doesn't make the game feel that much different
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:55 PM - A-z-K: I'm not saing dont ty other scripts but then you have to organise testers
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:56 PM - NekoBaron: a z k they are on the beta branch, the server is always up but theres just not enough core plyers, hell even the official 11 test lacked players...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:57 PM - Kidpaler: No it didn't, it had an ample amount it was just laggy
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:57 PM - A-z-K: Listen, if you want to develope your own unofficial scripts thats fine. Just don't bad mouth other people for their scripts or complain if people dont take time to support your scripts. If it's a prpject then treat it like one and go and find 20 people who will help you test your scripts
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:57 PM - Omneh: A-z-K dropping truth bombs like it's operation desert storm
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:58 PM - Xyaminou: lol
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:58 PM - Xyaminou: oh I missed you omneh
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:58 PM - A-z-K: I highly suspect wmds
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:58 PM - Omneh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_dog_story
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:58 PM - NekoBaron: if we had 20 people we could just start a 2nd server, its like expecting the impossible, even the official tests dont get that much.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:59 PM - Omneh: Scripts are the shaggy dog story of empires
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:59 PM - Ranger: A z k firing shots faster than a 7barrel gatling
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:59 PM - Lazybum: official test would have fared better if it was on satuday
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:59 PM - Omneh: they're the equivalent of a dog chasing its own tail
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:59 PM - Lazybum: i missed the fact that hlaf the player I expected to show up can't really on a sunday
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:59 PM - Xyaminou: yeah expecting anyone to test shit nowadays is crazy
    Dec 15, 2016 at 6:59 PM - A-z-K: For sure its a shame more people don't test and the player base is small. Thats the situation.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:00 PM - Xyaminou: like I said, people are all like hey we need developpers to do shit and all. But when it comes time to test stuff no one shows up
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:00 PM - Xyaminou: oh and that includes you and spike Neko
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:00 PM - Xyaminou: you want people to test your shit? well show up to test their shit.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:00 PM - Ranger: You who
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:00 PM - NekoBaron: last time I was in an empires test we found the turret building spamming bug yet it wasnt fixed and got into an official release for a while...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:00 PM - Xyaminou: Neko
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:01 PM - Xyaminou: so?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:01 PM - NekoBaron: so whats the point of testing if the feedback is ignored...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:01 PM - Xyaminou: Do you want me to say that developpers fucked up? yeah that did
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:01 PM - Xyaminou: They fucked up with 2.7 broke shit without testing it
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:01 PM - Omneh: the research system in its current form is unsalvageable tbh
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:02 PM - Xyaminou: they fucked up with 2.8, tested shit but still pushed a version full of bugs
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:02 PM - Xyaminou: and yeah, that's why I have little trust in developpers. Doesn't stop me from testing shit
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:02 PM - Omneh: the basic idea is good, branching trees are cool
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:02 PM - Xyaminou: stop making excuses
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:02 PM - Ranger: I would like it if we could make some items depend on multiple researches
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:03 PM - NekoBaron: testing and ignoring the problems is preety much worse than not testing.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:03 PM - A-z-K: Frequent patches, less testiing available it's inevitable.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:03 PM - NekoBaron: agreed rnger but I dont think the current research tree can handle that
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:03 PM - Omneh: but it's over complicated and doesn't affect how the rest of the team play the game because the weapons and armour all work in the same way with slight variations
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:04 PM - Kidpaler: So Omneh, are you advocating for counters? (MrX, I know your position on this I'm just wondering what he is advocating)
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:04 PM - Omneh: NOOOOOOOOO
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:04 PM - Omneh: PLEASE NO
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:04 PM - Xyaminou: ha!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:04 PM - NekoBaron: counters would be ok if you didnt need 10 mins to change tree.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:04 PM - Omneh: I would advocate for VARIETY
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:04 PM - Ranger: rekt
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:05 PM - Omneh: like, actual variety, not "ooh this cannon has a slightly larger explosion radius, ooh this cannon does more damage against x armour"
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:05 PM - Ranger: Like a DU Gatling?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:05 PM - Kidpaler: Slightly more damage against X armor is a counter?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:05 PM - Kidpaler: But I get your point
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:06 PM - A-z-K: Yeah Omneh, I understand these things aren't easy to add. But weapons which work, look and feel differently would be the next big step for the game.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:06 PM - Omneh: genuine weapon variety, shotgun cannons, hitscan railguns that have a charge up time, napalm cannons that start massive firestorms if enough people shoot at the same place
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:07 PM - NekoBaron: I liked it when 3 phase was fastest engine and unique where as now preety much everyone wants fission because cheap, fast, lightweight and movement cooling quick research.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:07 PM - A-z-K: Basically look at Overwatch and how fun it is, how it has a thriving competitive scene even though there is very little balance
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:07 PM - Omneh: instead of armours have stuff that adds abilities to tanks like smoke launchers and anti-missile defenses
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Omneh: obviously would require a lot of good coders
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Xyaminou: wait
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Omneh: but one can dream
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - NekoBaron: I wish someone made an arty shell that dropped a fuckton of smoke cover and low damage if hit directly.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Ranger: Omneh
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Xyaminou: Overwatch is fun?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Xyaminou: didn't know that
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Ranger: That's what I meant focus on Weapons and Tanks
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Ranger: Exactly that
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - A-z-K: haha, well I enjoy it
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:08 PM - Ranger: All that you mentioned is features
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:09 PM - Ranger: That's what makes empire fun
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:09 PM - Omneh: sorry buddy, missed that bit
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:09 PM - Ranger: All games fun
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:09 PM - Xyaminou: if all games were fun I wouldn't be so bored
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:09 PM - Ranger: But it needs Code support and artists
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:10 PM - NekoBaron: scar designed some tier 1 tank weapons, the idea of they would come with the basic first tree of a reserch, its a great idea because light tanks and early game can have more variety. They arnt balance well but the idea is good.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:10 PM - Ranger: I mean. One can play Red Orchestra or Killing floor or Insurgency because the Weapons feel amazing. That's what I do
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:10 PM - Ranger: I've made a bunch too
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:10 PM - Kidpaler: Balance again is not needed. It needs to be fun.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:10 PM - Ranger: Yeah I never talked about balance
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:10 PM - Kidpaler: As long as its not OP as hell, itll work
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:11 PM - Kidpaler: That was @neko
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:11 PM - Omneh: problem is that all of this stuff would require a fundamental rethink of the game
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:11 PM - Omneh: and at that point, why bother pissing about with a nightmarish codebase and sometimes terrifying community?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:12 PM - Xyaminou: exactly
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:12 PM - Kidpaler: Well, codebase isn't terrifying anymore I believe. It's been mostly cleaned up by the current devs which is why no major features have been added
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:12 PM - Ranger: I've literally been sleeping on how it can work for the last years. I have everything figured out. Like im so smart amirit give cookie
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:12 PM - Xyaminou: ranger will save us
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:12 PM - Kidpaler: The last part of the codebase that is terrifying that I have heard of is the squad menu
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:12 PM - VulcanStorm: Can confirm. Codebase still terrifying.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Xyaminou: so why bother with it then
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Kidpaler: WELP I was wrong then
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Kidpaler: Thexa and Tama have been cleaning it up haven't they Vulcan?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Omneh: also, it's all very well to have these ideas but ideas ain't shit without skills to back them up
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Xyaminou: if all the efforts that have been putting in this game over the years had been put in making a new game it'd probably be done by now
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Omneh: I mean, what can I do?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - NekoBaron: I had a glimps at some of the code once, it was kind of shoddy, like excessive pointless searching, smithy might have cleaned it though since I pointed it out to them.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Omneh: Map?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Omneh: Lol
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Xyaminou: map!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - VulcanStorm: They've been adding a shit ton of extra stuff to make it easier to work with...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:13 PM - Xyaminou: we need new big maps
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - VulcanStorm: But the code is still... Confusing...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - Kidpaler: We just need new maps in general
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - Omneh: tbh I'd focus on remakes of the stuff we have
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - NekoBaron: I dont want to map for a single server, or at least please make it so emp brushed dont have to use nodraw....
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - Kidpaler: I would LOVE a streeets of Fire remake that you can go in most buildings
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - Ranger: We got two new maps in a week. Omneh needs to finish that nice looking map with green hills rivers and trees. very descriptive I know
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - VulcanStorm: ^^
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - Kidpaler: Thats the problem with the city maps, you can't go inside for cover leaving Infantry exposed
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM - Xyaminou: wait vulcan, is it confusing or is it ineffective? that's completely different.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:15 PM - Omneh: Kidpaler, that's not actually a great idea
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:15 PM - Omneh: cover good
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:15 PM - Omneh: sure
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:15 PM - Omneh: but adding lots of buildings you can go inside would dilute the gameplay
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:15 PM - Omneh: everyone would get lost
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - NekoBaron: no more infantary maps till rifleman gets nerfed back down plox...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - Omneh: not to mention, that level of detail would be nigh on impossible in source
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - Xyaminou: it'd be interesting only if they can be destroyed
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - Xyaminou: like on watsitcalled
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - VulcanStorm: Just the ground floors... Like on homeland?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - Omneh: even frostbite only has city maps with a few buildings that are accessible
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - Xyaminou: help me out
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - NekoBaron: omneh you could if someone modeled it
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - Xyaminou: homeland, yes
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - A-z-K: Yeah I can play ARMA-pires if I want that. Which I would still love to play with like 120 people
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:16 PM - Kidpaler: Well, not every model. Just some models
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - Kidpaler: Err some buildings
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - Kidpaler: Homeland is a great example
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - Ranger: Homeland has destructable buildings? the wooden ones in south west?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - Xyaminou: if you make it at most 1 floor high and that can be destroyed like homeland, yeah sure. but not ALL building, never all bulidings.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - VulcanStorm: Source don't need no building models, got bsp and displacements
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - Omneh: in an ideal world I'd be using mainly models in my maps, with brushes left over for basic geometry and brush entities
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - NekoBaron: you could double model a section of wall so when destroyed the model could change instead of using brushwork.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - Xyaminou: ranger the one in front of BE base
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM - Kidpaler: Never all buildings, but some are nice. Streets of Fire has 0 except for the tunnels
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 PM - Omneh: actually making buildings out of brushes is so 2006
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 PM - Kidpaler: Xya, like the gas station as well
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 PM - Xyaminou: well SOF has a couple of stuff you can enter
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 PM - Kidpaler: Yea but you cant really use it for cover. MOST of the map is you are on the street
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 PM - Xyaminou: but yeah it could use some more looking over the middle
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 PM - Omneh: make the bones of the buildings out of brushes, but have all the facades and detail be models
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 PM - Xyaminou: and one that links the front of NF's road to middle
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 PM - NekoBaron: SOF lacks usefull places to enter.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:19 PM - Omneh: problem is that you'd be bumping up against model limits
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:19 PM - Kidpaler: They have been adding more models I believe to use in Hammer
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:19 PM - Omneh: not sure how high it is nowadays
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:19 PM - Omneh: what version of source are you guys on now @VulcanStorm?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:19 PM - Omneh: oh the @ does nothing
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:19 PM - Kidpaler: 2013 I believe, its up to date as far as Im aware
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:20 PM - VulcanStorm: 2013 sdk
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:20 PM - Xyaminou: @penis
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:20 PM - VulcanStorm: Same as tf2
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:20 PM - NekoBaron: use @gayfurry to poke me, guessing X's is @penis.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:20 PM - vipervicki: is the shoutbox self trimming now it only goes bk 9 minutes
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:20 PM - Omneh: hmm
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:20 PM - Kidpaler: Probably because it has never seen this much activity
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - Xyaminou: I still want to see more support roles somedays
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - Ranger: We are all so excite
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - vipervicki: lol ranger
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - NekoBaron: make it so only engineers can repair buildings....
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - VulcanStorm: 'cos it's Christmas?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - vipervicki: gtsy omneh
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - Xyaminou: no
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - Omneh: hi vicki
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - vipervicki: :)
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:21 PM - Xyaminou: I also want to see classes gone
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - vipervicki: why?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - Xyaminou: that would take a long time to explain
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - ScardyBob: Everyone is the same in Comrade Army!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - Xyaminou: pretty sure I have a thread about it too
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - vipervicki: lol'
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - Omneh: static and detail props don't count towards the limit but I'm fairly sure I've run into a limit on detail props
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - vipervicki: k
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - Omneh: it's been ages
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:23 PM - Omneh: yeah I've been considering making a small map
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:23 PM - Ranger: You can see the limit of props at the end of every complie
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:23 PM - vipervicki: niice your maps are really good
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:23 PM - Omneh: I'm thinking I might just rip off blood gulch from halo
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:23 PM - Ranger: Why don't you finish that pretty map you were making?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:23 PM - VulcanStorm: Omneh... Just do it!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:23 PM - Omneh: except make it look neatoburrito
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:24 PM - VulcanStorm: We need more cool maps
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:24 PM - Kidpaler: Omneh, you should steal Steve[UK] design and have trees be destructible
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:24 PM - Xyaminou: hmm looks like I never actually made a thread about it, could have sworn I did
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:24 PM - Omneh: problem is that I have a long history of going "YEAH I MIGHT MAKE A MAP" then never actually following through
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:24 PM - NekoBaron: We need to stop voting to play shitty maps first...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:24 PM - vipervicki: searches on here are not that accurate
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - Kidpaler: MrX, your better off searching it on Google than on the forum search
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - Ranger: FINISH EMP_CENTURION
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - Ranger: caps
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - Omneh: that's a really big problem, the mapvote on nubs... isn't great
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - Omneh: emp_centurion is dead
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - vipervicki: i had to google atomic last night to find it on the forum search nthing came up
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - Omneh: ask varbles, it's a mess
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - Xyaminou: I'm not using forum search I'm using my personal page that supposedly has all the thread I made
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:25 PM - Ranger: =o
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:26 PM - Omneh: first map after a hiatus of several years and I was trying a bunch of techniques I inferred from dear esther
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:26 PM - Xyaminou: either way, blah blah, better fit with RTS, blah blah more customization etc...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:26 PM - vipervicki: ahh i think u talked about it in a different thread the engi calc one?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:26 PM - Xyaminou: maybe
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:26 PM - NekoBaron: that game was a disapointing long walk :/
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:26 PM - Ranger: Do you have the last version of centurion Omneh?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:26 PM - vipervicki: lol
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:27 PM - Ranger: I liked Dear Esther
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:27 PM - Kidpaler: Theres no good forest map is there?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:27 PM - vipervicki: forest ob is good but its broken but not much forest in ti
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:27 PM - vipervicki: it
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:27 PM - Kidpaler: Yea, theres like no forest
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:27 PM - vipervicki: but i like that map alot
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:27 PM - Ranger: Insurrection is a swamp forest with dinosaurs
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:28 PM - ScardyBob: there is emp_forest :)
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:28 PM - NekoBaron: forests dont work well unless you had destroyable trees to place buildings, an infntary forest might be interesting.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:28 PM - Xyaminou: emp_forest doesn't have a forest
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:28 PM - Kidpaler: Infantry forest would be fun, or better have some open areas for buildings and then trees for infantry and tanks to interact with
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:28 PM - Kidpaler: make it single lane, so infantry have to assist tanks to get through
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:28 PM - vipervicki: i dont recall which map it was but was so many trees was hard to get a tank thru but then it was changed with less tree
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Kidpaler: Just make the trees destructible
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - vipervicki: anyone know what map that was?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Xyaminou: well emp_clusterfuck has trees blocking your tanks
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Omneh: problem with destroyable trees is that I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to do it without engine access
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Xyaminou: wait no what's it called
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Xyaminou: the tutorial map
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Ranger: Something like "Dark Forest" maps from Age of Empires 2 lol
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - vipervicki: i can see it in my mind
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Kidpaler: Omneh, not true. Steve did it
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - NekoBaron: know what, fuck it, I actually like glycencity. infantary with basic tanks and ticket bleed, its perfect...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Kidpaler: He has a map where all trees are destructible
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - vipervicki: but dont recall the name
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Omneh: sure you can have destructible props but they'd eat up entity limit like crazy
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:29 PM - Xyaminou: lol ranger
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:30 PM - Xyaminou: except in AOE2 the trees are basically walls
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:30 PM - Omneh: trees need to be static in source sadly
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:30 PM - Ranger: You can make walls with bushes and rocks if need be
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:30 PM - Xyaminou: having trees that you can knock down with your tanks sure would change Empires
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:30 PM - Ranger: Yes please
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:30 PM - vipervicki: in bf4 u can drive thru anyhting and knock them down its kinda fun
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:30 PM - Kidpaler: Cant you just make them disappear after so many seconds and not regrow?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:31 PM - Xyaminou: then again if you've ever seen BF3 or 4's maps after half an hour
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:31 PM - Xyaminou: they're pretty empty once everyone has destroyed al lthe trees
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:31 PM - Kidpaler: Yea, the map changes completely which is cool. Lots of new places to hide/not hide
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:31 PM - Omneh: I don't think it's that much of a biggie really, when mapping for empires you use trees to define cover for infantry, obstruct building placement
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:31 PM - Omneh: ect
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:31 PM - Kidpaler: Yea, but knockable trees would add a new dynamic. Especially if there could be a forest map with it
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - Xyaminou: well depends on the map obviously
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - Xyaminou: and yes you'd ave ot design maps around the new dynamic
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - Ranger: Ranger Suicided >Killed by falling tree
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - Kidpaler: Yea, but it'd change a lot. Also, the trees need wider trunks
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - Kidpaler: To allow cover
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - vipervicki: lol ranger
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - NekoBaron: tank knocks down one tree, tree prop goes flying and kills entire team
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - Omneh: VulcanStorm, you still here?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:32 PM - Kidpaler: And not play the concrete hit sound when they get shot
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - Ranger: Omneh do you have the last version of Centurion?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - Xyaminou: true, trees in Empires tend to have small trunks not allowing for cover
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - vipervicki: i got killed the other day in bf1 by Debris
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - Kidpaler: Thats what we need, new Tree Models.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - vipervicki: made me laugh first i thought it was the players name
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - Kidpaler: That is now Priority #1, to allow forests to be made etc
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - Ranger: lel
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - Omneh: got a favour to ask, I need the VMF's of the official maps because I've just opened Hammer and I don't know what scale I need to build on
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:33 PM - NekoBaron: Oh yeah, fucking remove the dumb ass concussion white flash nades, its ridiculous if they dont blind both teams, you can get a box and blind entire enemy team.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:34 PM - Omneh: obviously I know the source scaling but stuff like map area, base sizes
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:34 PM - Ranger: Omneh do you have the last version of Centurion?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:34 PM - Kidpaler: Let me see if anyone who can get you that is on hipchat
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:34 PM - Omneh: oh wait
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:34 PM - NekoBaron: just drop a player spawn in omneh
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:34 PM - ScardyBob: decompile is probably faster than trying to find the official vmfs
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:35 PM - Omneh: good point scardy
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:35 PM - Ranger: I decomplied research once. No probs
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:35 PM - Omneh: it's been a while haha
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:35 PM - Ranger: also a barracks is 800 units I think
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:36 PM - NekoBaron: just place a building ent in hammer
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:37 PM - NekoBaron: or place the NF CV ent and watch it fill the screen
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:37 PM - Xyaminou: ranger, keep trying to ask that one question to omneh, he'll answer you someday
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:37 PM - Omneh: hahaha
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:37 PM - Omneh: I have it but its going nowhere
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:37 PM - Ranger: Omneh do you have the last version of Centurion?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:37 PM - Omneh: varbles also has it, he agreed
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:37 PM - Ranger: Oh
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:38 PM - Ranger: He agreed on what?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:39 PM - Omneh: that it's shit
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:39 PM - Ranger: I wanna take a look D:
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:39 PM - Omneh: it's just a pretty face
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:39 PM - Ranger: thx
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:39 PM - Ranger: oh
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:39 PM - Ranger: nvm
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:40 PM - Omneh: also I'm in the hipcat someone add me to a room
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:40 PM - Omneh: forgot varbles added me years ago
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:40 PM - Omneh: still had it bookmarked
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:40 PM - Kidpaler: What... room?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:41 PM - Xyaminou: what hipchat?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:41 PM - Xyaminou: is it a chat for hipsters?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:41 PM - Omneh: oh who cares
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:41 PM - Omneh: I'm gonna go decompile a map
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:41 PM - Xyaminou: not me?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:41 PM - Omneh: crossroads I think, planning on something that side
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:42 PM - Kidpaler: I tried asking Destroyer for you on there
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:42 PM - Omneh: *size
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:42 PM - Xyaminou: why not just place a building like neko suggested
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:42 PM - Kidpaler: Can you make it foresty Omneh?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:42 PM - Kidpaler: I want a foresty map :(
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:42 PM - Omneh: considering the only good half decent trees in the game are those fir trees
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:42 PM - NekoBaron: decompile crossroads, and see nothing but nodraw in the middle for all the emp brushes...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:42 PM - Omneh: I just need to see how much area it covers
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:43 PM - Omneh: height of skybox, that kinda jazz
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:43 PM - Xyaminou: isn't crossroads max size in the lenght?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:44 PM - NekoBaron: yes
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:45 PM - NekoBaron: because looks are decieving and people think its a small map.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:45 PM - vipervicki: i was told all map are about the same size
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:45 PM - vipervicki: in empires
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:45 PM - vipervicki: maps
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:45 PM - ScardyBob: well, 90% of crossroads action happen in the small middle area
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:45 PM - Xyaminou: that's because it is a small map
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:45 PM - Xyaminou: it's 2 small lanes
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:46 PM - Xyaminou: it's for 11vs11 at most
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:46 PM - NekoBaron: they mostly are, yet people bitch about midbridge being too big, when it reality its the same as others.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:46 PM - Xyaminou: that reminds me I still need to convince creeper to lower the max pop for it
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:46 PM - vipervicki: yah thats what I was told
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:46 PM - Xyaminou: midbridge is for 25vs25
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:46 PM - Xyaminou: so it is a large ma
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:46 PM - Xyaminou: map
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:47 PM - NekoBaron: we play cyclopean with less
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:47 PM - Xyaminou: cyclopean is 15vs15 at least 25vs25 ideal
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:48 PM - NekoBaron: they are both same size though
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:48 PM - Xyaminou: well midbridge is also 15vs15 at least
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:48 PM - Xyaminou: they're the same
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:49 PM - NekoBaron: but people think its too big, because of perspective. you can see all the way across cyclopean, so it looks smaller.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:49 PM - Xyaminou: I'll be honest I don't really care what people think
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:49 PM - NekoBaron: true but it does stop midbridge being played as much as any other map
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:50 PM - Xyaminou: well that's people's stupidity for you
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:50 PM - Xyaminou: maps should be on rotation nextmap being determined based on player amounts
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:50 PM - Xyaminou: voting doesn't work
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:51 PM - NekoBaron: and then we end up on escort and castle all the time, we get tired of it. voting isnt always the best sadly.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:51 PM - Xyaminou: but hey, tell that to creeper, uh... won't listen to me.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:52 PM - Ranger: but you can vote again
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:52 PM - Xyaminou: only infantry maps I'd allow is a 5 or 10min district ONLY and ONLY if a commander map lasted longer than an hour
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:52 PM - vipervicki: unfirtunately the regualr mapcycle doesnt have options for player counts
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:52 PM - vipervicki: so 4 people might gt stuck with a huge map
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:52 PM - Xyaminou: so basically map rotation with nextmap determined by amount of players and if a map last longer than an hour have a 5min district between maps
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:53 PM - vipervicki: or 50 might get district
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:53 PM - NekoBaron: remake empires in gmod, lua in whatever you want.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:53 PM - vipervicki: doesnt exist tho X
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:53 PM - Xyaminou: well then ask some guy to make a plugin or something
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:53 PM - Xyaminou: I mean you asked people to make ungrief and surrender stuff
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:53 PM - Xyaminou: mapcycle would be like 10 times easier
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:54 PM - vipervicki: sorry charlie me not got a server anymore..not mah job
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:54 PM - NekoBaron: that ungrief command is preety shoddy and basic, a propper map cycle plugin is a lot more complexed.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:54 PM - Xyaminou: you get my point
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:54 PM - Ranger: I'd give 2 minutes break for voting. Time to either rest, easily look at maps or just browse. But this can't be a plugin. It needs UI
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:55 PM - Xyaminou: yes a UI integrated to Empires would be the ideal
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:55 PM - Xyaminou: much like scardybob's plugin should be integrated to Empires
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:55 PM - Xyaminou: with a UI
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:55 PM - Ranger: And all these mapcycle issues would be set in server preferences
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:56 PM - ScardyBob: :)
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:56 PM - Xyaminou: like, honestly, you wanna improve Empires, add all of that
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:56 PM - Xyaminou: that's what the devs should do
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:57 PM - ScardyBob: more UI control would be great for my pug plugin
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:57 PM - Xyaminou: with a very basic GUI, pretty easy.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:57 PM - Xyaminou: Imagine having a mapvote at the end of the round where you a minute to browse throught pictures of each maps
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:57 PM - NekoBaron: serriously, gmod, lua, solve everything at once, customised shit, existing server could add their own plugins and crap.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:58 PM - Xyaminou: or imagine scardybob's plugin where you can scroll throught the list of players, maybe even see how many hours they've played the game and stuff like that
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:58 PM - vipervicki: we had lua why was it removed?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:58 PM - Xyaminou: instead of pressing 1 9 1 9 4, !pick, !revote, !next
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:58 PM - vipervicki: lordz maps used lua
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:58 PM - NekoBaron: it probably lacked integration to make the lua powerful enough or was exploitable.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:59 PM - Xyaminou: there I just gave devs something to do
    Dec 15, 2016 at 7:59 PM - vipervicki: k
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:00 PM - NekoBaron: I reckon a team of people could port empires to gmod
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:01 PM - Ranger: Like make this mod a mod for a mod.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:01 PM - Ranger: And then mod it!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:01 PM - Xyaminou: modception achieved
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:01 PM - NekoBaron: make a mod for a mod and people can then custom mod it as much as they want.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:02 PM - NekoBaron: all yould have to do is make it and call the server DARK RP 24/7 ADMINS WANTED
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:02 PM - Ranger: It would have more value if it was a standalone free game though
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:03 PM - Ranger: dark rp lel
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:03 PM - Ranger: My roots
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:03 PM - Xyaminou: yes and put porn sprays everywhere
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:03 PM - Ranger: haha
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:03 PM - NekoBaron: unless you turn empired into a game designed and developed as paid work, you wont get the work done.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:03 PM - ScardyBob: Emp MegaMod, the One Mod to Rule Them All!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:04 PM - NekoBaron: money is the best motivation, sadly but true.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:04 PM - Ranger: Imagine what the players of empires would be if it was ported in gmod. oh god
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:04 PM - Xyaminou: I'd sacrifice a goat
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:05 PM - NekoBaron: I dont think a single goat sacrifice would pay for empires to be recoded
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:06 PM - NekoBaron: sacrifice BRD? maybe worth it then
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:07 PM - Xyaminou: oh no the goat sacrifice would be for whoever ported it to gmod to die in a fire
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:07 PM - Ranger: xD
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:07 PM - Xyaminou: well to be honest sacrificing BRD to a god would be taken as an offense, don't you usually have to sacrifice useful things? or at least nice things?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:07 PM - Xyaminou: I wouldn't want to anger RNJesus
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:07 PM - ScardyBob: Wanted: Someone to port Empires to Gmod. Payment: One burning goat
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:08 PM - Xyaminou: but hey if you want to sacrifice BRD, go ahead, do this forum a favor.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:09 PM - NekoBaron: Ive recoded a racing gamemod in gmod, started a gamemode from scratch, and modified existing ones. As much as I would want it I would want to port empires alone... and not for just one goat.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:09 PM - Ranger: Two goats?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:10 PM - ScardyBob: 10 goats!
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:11 PM - NekoBaron: I will be honest, I did the rcing gamemode for a freind and they paid me, was good motivation to get the work done, I wont say how much, but it was under agreement they owned the gamemode and I worked on it as needed. sadly most people on gmod only want to frikkin RP...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:11 PM - NekoBaron: remake empires in gmod and call it Empires RP? instant 60/60 full server then.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:12 PM - ScardyBob: Can I RP as a scunt?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:12 PM - NekoBaron: yes, but if you do too much for the team you get banned for not RPing a scunt properly.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:13 PM - Xyaminou: I'm a level 5 commander
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:13 PM - Ranger: Is that much?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:14 PM - NekoBaron: each rank of commander allows you to shout louder and blame team more often.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:14 PM - Xyaminou: yes
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:14 PM - A-z-K: Xya over 9000
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:14 PM - ScardyBob: dont worry, i will only use my sniper rofl and carry conconuts instead of stickies
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:14 PM - Ranger: What about boomtanking buffs?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:14 PM - NekoBaron: everytime a commander shouts team gets a 2% movement boost but suffers -5% moral.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:15 PM - Ranger: Level 95 unlocks the terrific War Horn which replaces the ugly truck horn
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:17 PM - NekoBaron: only if a rank 20 commander drops the vehicle pimping pad
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:17 PM - ScardyBob: My boomtank does need spinners and neons
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:17 PM - ScardyBob: And more hydraulics
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:18 PM - NekoBaron: you only get shitty colours to unlock, all the nice effects and colours will be paid microtrnsactions.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:18 PM - Ranger: Plz more mods. Need spoilers and sprays asap
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:19 PM - NekoBaron: why arnt the devs taking notes?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:20 PM - vipervicki: no devs on forums
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:21 PM - Xyaminou: yes my NF boomtank needs a hot lady in underwear painted on its side
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:22 PM - vipervicki: victoria secret model
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:22 PM - NekoBaron: my NF CV needs hot pink paintwork
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:22 PM - Xyaminou: [​IMG]
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:22 PM - vipervicki: fat thighs
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:22 PM - Ranger: I want a Spartan Helmet or a Lamda
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:22 PM - Xyaminou: fat CV
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:23 PM - Ranger: hehe
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:23 PM - vipervicki: LOL
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:23 PM - Xyaminou: clearly a NF woman
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:25 PM - NekoBaron: Scout needs a guile suit unlock, so I can lay down and the rest of the team shoots over me while I lay there and do nothing helpful.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:26 PM - ScardyBob: Boomtank ghillie suit when???
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:31 PM - Omneh: http://i.imgur.com/c7bPpK9.gifv
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:36 PM - Xyaminou: seems legit
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:36 PM - Ranger: I do this with my cat. But projectile come out of her butt and I reload like a lever rifle with her tail.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:37 PM - Xyaminou: I don't want to know what the projectiles are made of...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:41 PM - Ranger: What game is that tho?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:42 PM - Ranger: Insurgency?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:42 PM - ScardyBob: CatterStrike:GO obviously :)
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:43 PM - Ranger: But they are sprinting. it's not csgo =o
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:49 PM - Xyaminou: Call of the Cats?
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:50 PM - ScardyBob: Cats of Doody: Modern Catfare 3
    Dec 15, 2016 at 8:58 PM - Ranger: That's it thanks
    Dec 15, 2016 at 10:27 PM - NekoBaron: BRD supports security, its over when that happens...
    Dec 15, 2016 at 10:52 PM - CRITAWAKETS: Gotta love virtualization/caffeine-fueled BIOS rage
    Dec 15, 2016 at 10:52 PM - CRITAWAKETS: Compaq PCs are a bitch and a half
    Dec 15, 2016 at 10:55 PM - ScardyBob: Your using a Compaq? I think I see your problem....
    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:02 PM - CRITAWAKETS: Well at this point the only thing that is the same is the motherboard
    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:02 PM - CRITAWAKETS: I upgraded every other part
    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:02 PM - ScardyBob: Still, that's like building a house on a foundation of shitbricks
    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:03 PM - CRITAWAKETS: Dont worry, im switching the motherboard soon
    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:03 PM - CRITAWAKETS: Maybe at chrismas
    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:03 PM - CRITAWAKETS: The CPU socket allows for only really budget AMD CPUs.
    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:03 PM - CRITAWAKETS: I want skylakes dammit
    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:05 PM - CRITAWAKETS: linux mint can actually now run on my PC

    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:34 AM - Ranger: WORLDWIDE CONSPIRATORIAL COMMUNIST GANGSTER COMPUTER-GOD.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:37 AM - Xyaminou: trains

    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:39 AM - Xyaminou: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6320640/?ref_=nv_sr_5
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:39 AM - Xyaminou: more sci-fi series on HBO, should be good.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:39 AM - Xyaminou: sci-fi may survive after all
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:40 AM - Xyaminou: westworld was definitely super great
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:40 AM - vipervicki: looks good
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:40 AM - Ranger: AH NICE
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:41 AM - Xyaminou: well it doesn't look like anything yet but it's JJ Abrams on HBO so, I am allowing myself to be hopeful.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:42 AM - vipervicki: yup i read that
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:42 AM - Xyaminou: see Trump, I'm not always negative, it's called objectivity.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:42 AM - vipervicki: lol
    Dec 16, 2016 at 12:42 AM - Xyaminou: anyway, in the meantime, what to watch

    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:07 AM - flasche: i always thought there is a difference between being hyped and excited
    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:08 AM - flasche: one has a negative connotation
    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:08 AM - flasche: but maybe im just special ^^
    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:08 AM - Xyaminou: but which one does, that's the question

    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:17 AM - Xyaminou: I mean the true James Bond is really Roger Moore, but hey at least in brosnan's james bond there's still the silly gadgets
    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:18 AM - flasche: at least brosnan doesnt look like a russian villain
    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:18 AM - flasche: like the current bond

    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:19 AM - Xyaminou: yeah I know, craig doesn't look bondish at all
    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:21 AM - Xyaminou: so in the last movies you have an actor who doesn't look like bond and no gadgets

    Dec 16, 2016 at 2:33 AM - flasche: at least you now know what you dont want anymore
    Dec 16, 2016 at 2:34 AM - vipervicki: we shall see if my fever goes back up w/o the other med then i kno it wasnt causing it
    Dec 16, 2016 at 2:37 AM - Ranger: I feel like I should let you know it was the cia gangsters who caused it.

    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:18 PM - CRITAWAKETS: Imagine if empires had a campaign mode
    Dec 16, 2016 at 1:51 PM - flasche: what then?
    Dec 16, 2016 at 2:03 PM - Xyaminou: Empires already has a campaign, it's called escort and it's boring as fuck.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 2:13 PM - flasche: listen to xya
    Dec 16, 2016 at 2:13 PM - flasche: bc he is right
    Dec 16, 2016 at 3:22 PM - Ranger: U fuls!
    Dec 16, 2016 at 3:22 PM - Ranger: campaign is always nice to play
    Dec 16, 2016 at 3:26 PM - Xyaminou: what is it with people and playing against AIs, this is 2016.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 3:48 PM - Ranger: I have 1200 hours in Skyrim and 900 in Mount and Blade Warband. It's all single player. Sometimes it's all I need.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 3:56 PM - Xyaminou: only thing I play singleplayer is Minecraft
    Dec 16, 2016 at 3:56 PM - Xyaminou: 'cause servers lag way too much
    Dec 16, 2016 at 4:01 PM - Xyaminou: still waiting for friends to join me too... you guys...
    Dec 16, 2016 at 4:29 PM - Ranger: Why do you need friends? It's all automatic. You can make robot weaboos to keep you company
    Dec 16, 2016 at 4:32 PM - Xyaminou: lol that is so true
    Dec 16, 2016 at 4:32 PM - Xyaminou: still...
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:21 PM - Sgt.Security: In League of Legends and World of Warships there are games AGAINST bots available.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:22 PM - Sgt.Security: I also don't like it that you have to play "with" bots, but it would be really awesome if nubs can play against bots.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:32 PM - Xyaminou: why would it be awesome?
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:33 PM - Xyaminou: I'd most likely immediatly quit if games like battlefield had made me play against bots first
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:34 PM - Sgt.Security: Yeah I think bots are not the best for FPS games.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:35 PM - Sgt.Security: They are great in those "I have no idea what I am doing" games.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:35 PM - Sgt.Security: But I think Empires is kinda one of those.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:35 PM - flasche: did you mean it to be mandatory?
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:36 PM - flasche: bc thatd really be shit
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:36 PM - flasche: but optional, why not, doesnt hurt anyone
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:36 PM - flasche: aside of that its wasted coder resources, but if whoever would do it wouldnt do anything else anyway i guess nothing is lost?
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:37 PM - Sgt.Security: It shouldn't be mandatory, at least not more than 5 games.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:38 PM - Sgt.Security: We don't have enough players to "assign" bots to them anyway.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:38 PM - flasche: i dont understand
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:42 PM - Sgt.Security: Honestly I got an idea, basically, a "Create game against AIs" option, takes you to maybe crossroads, and new player is told to comm and defeat bots with a pre-built base.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:43 PM - vipervicki: bots are good to seed a server once a player joins a bot leaves at least the player can do stuff and practice while waiting for others to join..once more join bits are gone
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:44 PM - vipervicki: bots are gone,
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:44 PM - Xyaminou: Well of course you could create scenarios like that for a tutorial, just as long as you don't force people to play it
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:44 PM - Xyaminou: well, you can force people, just not me, I hate being forced to play tutorials
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:44 PM - vipervicki: its not like you are playing agaisnt bots
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:45 PM - Sgt.Security: Bots should be an option, but I don't think it's good to bring them into NUBS.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:45 PM - Xyaminou: I guess in the end the best option, if Empires had decent income of newbies, would be to let servers have a config option to allow or not people who have not played the tutorial.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:46 PM - vipervicki: itll be a long whileuntil bots are good enough to be in nubs but misfire has made great progress and he will use them on his learning server
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:47 PM - Xyaminou: but hey if Empires actually had a decent population there wouldn't be so many unbalanced teams because you'd be able to sort players into different servers. But that will not happen...
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:47 PM - Sgt.Security: That's what I meant when I said we don't have enough players to assign bots.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:48 PM - Sgt.Security: Bots should remain as an option in main menu.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:48 PM - Sgt.Security: Or a training server, like Misfire's.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:48 PM - vipervicki: its fun pratcing agasitn them even now
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:48 PM - vipervicki: they r real good shots
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:49 PM - Xyaminou: I don't think "fun" is the right word
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:49 PM - Xyaminou: or you're easy to please
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:49 PM - vipervicki: was for me
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:49 PM - vipervicki: lol guess i am then
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:49 PM - vipervicki: i was practiving headshots
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:50 PM - Xyaminou: headshot in Empires? Impressive
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:50 PM - vipervicki: lol well not easy but jsut wanted to practice them
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:50 PM - vipervicki: wasnt easy for me anyway
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:50 PM - Xyaminou: last time I tried to shoot somebody's head 5m away who wasn't moving, 5 clear headshots, he took no damage whatsoever.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:50 PM - Xyaminou: so yeah...
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:51 PM - vipervicki: ugh
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:51 PM - vipervicki: that sux
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:51 PM - Sgt.Security: Once you kill them enough, they walk in a straight line towards you
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:51 PM - Sgt.Security: I am not sure if it's still the same.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:51 PM - Sgt.Security: Because they follow the same "walking out of rax" path when they spawn.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:52 PM - Xyaminou: Bots do not adapt so you'll always find a way to break them
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:52 PM - vipervicki: interesting
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:52 PM - vipervicki: pires is a smart ass bot
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:53 PM - Sgt.Security: I am fairly sure CS 10 years ago had adaptive bots, I killed a bot for 30 times and it got me on my 31st attempt.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:54 PM - vipervicki: lol
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:54 PM - Sgt.Security: I was one of the best CS player in Taiwan, just saying.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:54 PM - Xyaminou: no you just fell asleep
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:54 PM - vipervicki: he figured u out
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:57 PM - Xyaminou: I was the best CS player in my house
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:57 PM - Xyaminou: oh wait, I still am.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:57 PM - Sgt.Security: No, I could "feel" it's getting better every time. I am not sure if Misfire can give them different "skill" based on k/d.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 5:59 PM - vipervicki: he has different skill levels all bots do
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:00 PM - vipervicki: easy normal hard etc
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:00 PM - Sgt.Security: Yeah, but I am not sure if he can switch them live, based on k/d.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:00 PM - vipervicki: he had ti reduce tgeir skill level some complaind they were to hard
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:00 PM - vipervicki: thus i dunno
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:00 PM - Sgt.Security: begin with medium, if the bot's getting rekted, switch to hard.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:01 PM - Sgt.Security: If it's somehow rekting people, switch to easy.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:01 PM - Sgt.Security: I am 100% sure that's the bot I was playing against in CS.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:01 PM - vipervicki: hmm
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:02 PM - vipervicki: i nevr played cs i did play css
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:02 PM - vipervicki: beleive it or not i was real good too
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:03 PM - Sgt.Security: General FPS skills should follow you tho, weird that they don't.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:04 PM - Xyaminou: Empires is too terrible for general FPS skills to do shit
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:04 PM - Sgt.Security: Took me literally <5 games in any FPS game to get my first top scoreboard, sometimes not even against nubs.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:04 PM - vipervicki: yup im proof of that
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:04 PM - vipervicki: im a pretty good engi tho
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:05 PM - vipervicki: got 9 kills as gren the other day in district
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:05 PM - Sgt.Security: Feel bad for those 9
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:06 PM - Xyaminou: in 45 minutes?
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:06 PM - Sgt.Security: :P
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:06 PM - vipervicki: but i rarely plY GREN only in district and only if last flag is left for nf to cap
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:06 PM - Xyaminou: mad skillz
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:06 PM - vipervicki: lol on last flag
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:07 PM - vipervicki: i switched to gren when we had 1 flag left to defend
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:07 PM - Xyaminou: anyway
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:07 PM - Xyaminou: time for some masochism
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:07 PM - vipervicki: lol in other words emoires
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:07 PM - vipervicki: p
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:08 PM - Xyaminou: exactly
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:08 PM - vipervicki: :)
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:08 PM - vipervicki: have fun
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:09 PM - Xyaminou: unlikely, especially considering the currentmap
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:10 PM - vipervicki: dont have steam on
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:10 PM - Xyaminou: boohouse...
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:11 PM - Xyaminou: welp, back to watching Eleague then
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:11 PM - Ranger: I WILL SAVE US ALL
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:28 PM - Xyaminou: too much pain, not enough pleasure.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:28 PM - Xyaminou: balance broken.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:50 PM - flasche: bots are shit because they hack
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:51 PM - flasche: if you dont care for them to suck nobody would stand a chance
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:51 PM - flasche: their reaction basically is a tick
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:53 PM - flasche: so you win or lose to a RNG
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:54 PM - flasche: you could roll dice aswell
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:56 PM - Ranger: Don't roll the dice
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:56 PM - Ranger: It's a trap!
    Dec 16, 2016 at 6:59 PM - Xyaminou: Flasche is right and that's what I've said many times
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:21 PM - A-z-K: Bots would be kinda cool for a horde mode in Emp. Besides that kinda useless I think to really fill numbers
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:23 PM - Ranger: Teh Empires Zombie mod
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:28 PM - flasche: id like bots for harvesters
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:28 PM - flasche: harvesters would be cool
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:28 PM - flasche: but wed need tiberium fields
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:28 PM - flasche: ^^
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:29 PM - flasche: but i think it could be a nice side-objective to protect them. tho it might also just lead to one team having null resources because their harvesters get ganked
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:30 PM - flasche: why does everything need to be a double edged sword -.-
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:30 PM - NekoBaron: a spam of engineers bots constantly reviving eachother.
    Dec 16, 2016 at 7:49 PM - Ranger: Who wear Mech Exoskelotrs armed with missiled gutling guns and homing bullets from Iron Man
    Dec 16, 2016 at 11:22 PM - vipervicki: flasche are u there?
    Dec 16, 2016 at 11:42 PM - Xyaminou: is he ever
    Dec 16, 2016 at 11:42 PM - vipervicki: lol
    Dec 16, 2016 at 11:43 PM - vipervicki: i want to let him know my theory was right
    Dec 16, 2016 at 11:51 PM - Xyaminou: chaos theory?
    Dec 16, 2016 at 11:51 PM - Xyaminou: big bang theory?
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:14 AM - vipervicki: lol
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:15 AM - vipervicki: nah i thought a medication was causing me fever and body aches so I stopped it yesterday and so far none of that happened
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:15 AM - vipervicki: it was an antibiotic I never took before
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:16 AM - Paradox: Just a quick reminder that if you stop taking your antibiotics you might get sick from the thing you were taking your anti biotics for. -> call your MD ask for a different AB
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:17 AM - vipervicki: ii also got a rash from it so its an allergic reaction..wont take it anymore
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:18 AM - vipervicki: he prescribed 2 antibiotics i only stopped the new one
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:18 AM - vipervicki: i spoke with him he said the one shud be enough by now and only 1 day left to take it
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:19 AM - Paradox: was it peniciline allergy?
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:19 AM - Paradox: Or whats the name of the AB you quit
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:19 AM - vipervicki: flagyl with cipor
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:19 AM - vipervicki: cipro
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:20 AM - vipervicki: cipro ive taken before
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:20 AM - vipervicki: flagyl never
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:20 AM - vipervicki: he added the flagyl becasue my swelling spread
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:20 AM - vipervicki: from teeth extractions
    Dec 17, 2016 at 12:20 AM - vipervicki: an hour after taking it id get over 101 fever body aches chills bad headache

    Dec 19, 2016 8:26 PM - A-z-K: Tats the point of terrorism, to create as much fear and panic and impact as possible with very little invested
    Dec 19, 2016 8:31 PM - complete_: i for one think this season wont be full of these types of attacks

    Dec 20, 2016 6:52 PM - A-z-K: I made the best double-decker sandwich in the known universe this thanksgiving. Basically a grilled cheese on sourdough then stacked over with cranberry sauce, turkey, stuffing& gravy.
    Dec 21, 2016 2:26 AM - Ranger: I made a sandwich. I don't know how you call it so ima write down what I used. 3 slices of bread, 2 types of ham, 2 types of chees, lettuce, mayonnaise, white smeared cheese thing and last but not least a burger bread with an egg on top. yes the burger on top of the sandwich. I think it's a 2decker
    Dec 21, 2016 2:27 AM - Ranger: 2-decker plus eggburger. it's like a maisonette
    Dec 21, 2016 2:50 AM - A-z-K: man I'm hungry now. I've been slowly accumulating stuff to put in a timpano, maybe i should just make a sandwich now instead

    Dec 22, 2016 at 2:13 AM - A-z-K: Though I imagine if you've tiem to type about it here it can't be that bad
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:02 AM - A-z-K: another one bites the dust
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:17 AM - complete_: a lawyer on law and order svu just said "you liberal feminist social justice warriors" to a rape victim and im howling

    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:34 AM - Ranger: I dun get why he would say that to a rape victim
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:36 AM - complete_: because hes trying to get his client found not guility of rape? the american justice system is a funny thing~

    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:45 PM - Xyaminou: so who's the new guy who talks too much?
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:47 PM - Ranger: my mama
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:48 PM - Xyaminou: women...
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:49 PM - VulcanStorm: New Tank Destroyer Pics!
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:49 PM - VulcanStorm: Feedback appreciated :)
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:49 PM - VulcanStorm: I'm still unsure as to what to put on the sides (of both tank destroyers)
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:51 PM - Xyaminou: honestly, it still looks to bland and flat and undetailed and far from being ready.
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:52 PM - Xyaminou: sorry I should have asked if you really wanted my feedback first.
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:53 PM - VulcanStorm: All feedback is good feedback.
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:53 PM - VulcanStorm: But how could it be improved?
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:54 PM - Xyaminou: I don't know anything about art, so you're probably asking the wrong person
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:54 PM - Xyaminou: add details I guess
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:54 PM - flasche: maybe a suspension for a start?
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:55 PM - VulcanStorm: ok, what else?
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:55 PM - flasche: it all looks glued together
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:56 PM - VulcanStorm: How to fix "glued together" look?
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:56 PM - flasche: make it screwed, or hinged or whatever
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:56 PM - flasche: detail
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:56 PM - VulcanStorm: ok
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:57 PM - flasche: or for example the vent at the back
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:57 PM - flasche: make the armor cutout around it
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:58 PM - Xyaminou: all I can say is I usually learn by example, so looking at other concept art of tanks might help you out.
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:58 PM - flasche: more lines to break up the flat surfaces
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:59 PM - flasche: and less sharp edges
    Dec 22, 2016 at 3:59 PM - flasche: more bevel and subsurf
    Dec 22, 2016 at 4:00 PM - VulcanStorm: for BE tanks?
    Dec 22, 2016 at 4:00 PM - VulcanStorm: They're quite angular...
    Dec 22, 2016 at 4:00 PM - VulcanStorm: its NF that has the more smooth feel
    Dec 22, 2016 at 4:00 PM - flasche: angular vs angular
    Dec 22, 2016 at 4:00 PM - VulcanStorm: Maybe its the shading....
    Dec 22, 2016 at 4:00 PM - VulcanStorm: It is still being flat shaded, not smooth shaded
    Dec 22, 2016 at 4:01 PM - flasche: you can have "sharp" edges with subsurfaced geometry aswell
    Dec 22, 2016 at 4:02 PM - flasche: but thats also where it gets a mess and really complicated
    Dec 22, 2016 at 6:28 PM - vipervicki: no idea who he is but he needs to tone it down with his insults
    Dec 22, 2016 at 8:19 PM - flasche: vulcan i think what you basically want is to detail the "base mesh" more
    Dec 22, 2016 at 8:19 PM - flasche: like cut stuff into it.
    Dec 22, 2016 at 8:19 PM - flasche: the ladder at the back, it could be set into the mesh a bit
    Dec 22, 2016 at 8:21 PM - flasche: and the vent, it kinda looks glued. sink it into the hull, cut a hole there
    Dec 22, 2016 at 8:21 PM - flasche: same for this things on the side. something that holds it there
    Dec 22, 2016 at 9:03 PM - VulcanStorm: hmm
    Dec 22, 2016 at 9:03 PM - VulcanStorm: i can inset things into the mesh?
    Dec 22, 2016 at 9:03 PM - VulcanStorm: how do you mean?

    Dec 23, 2016 at 7:20 PM - A-z-K: Why swould they DDoS Steam. If they have time to DDoS then they can't have nay pressing social engagements. SO what else will they do with their night
    Dec 23, 2016 at 7:23 PM - flasche: that kinda answers it?
    Dec 23, 2016 at 7:40 PM - A-z-K: I just imagine them all sitting aorund in an IRC right now and being like, who wants to play dota... ohhhhhh
    Dec 23, 2016 at 8:08 PM - Xyaminou: abandon your lives
    Dec 23, 2016 at 8:08 PM - Xyaminou: and play humpires
    Dec 23, 2016 at 8:46 PM - JustGoFly: You'se BattleField 1 pros. Do I want base or Deluxe?
    Dec 23, 2016 at 9:57 PM - Xyaminou: Oh wow some people still don't use SSD for their windows... rofl
    Dec 23, 2016 at 9:58 PM - Xyaminou: Enjoy your loading times without SSD...
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:00 PM - Xyaminou: no wonder I'm always the first one to finish loading, even though my computer is 5 years old...
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:05 PM - Sgt.Security: Do you guys use your SSD for games or OS?
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:09 PM - Sgt.Security: Assume you guys aren't rich and/or put everything on the same drive, of course.
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:19 PM - Xyaminou: games and OS are on the same drive
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:20 PM - Xyaminou: which is non optimal, but I only have 1 SSD so...
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:41 PM - Polyesta: I have absolutely amazing map loading / game loading speeds. It's not for that, its for just booting and running 3d programs and overall quickness of windows navigation.
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:42 PM - Polyesta: The only thing that takes a'few minutes to load is my computer to windows.
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:46 PM - Sgt.Security: I have to say, out of everything I enjoy its silence the most.
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:47 PM - Sgt.Security: I just realized how ridiculously loud HDDs can be when you are actually using quiet fans.
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:48 PM - Polyesta: ZIIIIIIIIIIST, errrrrrrrr beep tick tick tick.
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:48 PM - Sgt.Security: I used to have 4 fans in my case, and my motherboard didn't support fan speed control, so the fans covered the sound from HDD.
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:49 PM - Sgt.Security: Annnd after I got my current motherboard, oh dear, HDD sound can drive you crazy, it's not as smooth as fans.
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:55 PM - Lazybum: yeah silent operations are nice. My gpu is like half a meter from my head and I'm rather thankful the fans don't spin at all when not doing anything
    Dec 23, 2016 at 10:56 PM - Lazybum: though it's still quiet when gaming, my laptop fan makes more noise now that I think about it
    Dec 23, 2016 at 11:01 PM - Polyesta: No wonder why I can't hit shit in empires..
    Dec 23, 2016 at 11:02 PM - Polyesta: [​IMG]
    Dec 23, 2016 at 11:58 PM - Señor_Awesome: Teef asked me for advice on building a new computer a while back and he actually refused to get a SSD at all
    Dec 23, 2016 at 11:58 PM - Señor_Awesome: citing the 'denuvo DRM ruins SSDs' hoax
    Dec 24, 2016 at 12:25 AM - Xyaminou: lol
    Dec 24, 2016 at 12:26 AM - Xyaminou: what an idiot
    Dec 24, 2016 at 1:11 AM - Fooshi: let him live in ignorance
    Dec 24, 2016 at 1:12 AM - Fooshi: he is not worthy of blazing fast std speeds
    Dec 24, 2016 at 3:57 AM - vipervicki: lol std
    Dec 24, 2016 at 3:58 AM - vipervicki: thats what ssd sounds like..a venereal disease

    Dec 24, 2016 5:34 AM - Polyesta: Xyaminou go outside buddy, take a deep breath, we can get through this together.
    Dec 24, 2016 10:56 AM - Ranger: I have 1 SSD for OS Empires and Skyrim and a terra HDD for all the other poop.

    Dec 24, 2016 4:26 PM - JustGoFly: Funny Stuff - watch
    Dec 24, 2016 6:11 PM - ViroMan: Funny in the "haha" funny or funny in the "your silly because you think that is remotely comedic" way?
    Dec 24, 2016 6:52 PM - Señor_Awesome: ViroMan only comes back to these forums to belittle others
    Dec 24, 2016 6:53 PM - Señor_Awesome: that's fair I suppose, it's what we're all here for apparently
    Dec 24, 2016 7:35 PM - ViroMan: Was I belittling? I thought it was "funny stuff". :(
    Dec 24, 2016 8:32 PM - Ranger: ViroMan the Misunderstood.
    Dec 24, 2016 10:48 PM - Sgt.Security: 2.11.0 coming, brace yourselves.
    Dec 24, 2016 11:17 PM - Paradox: its coming on christmas da?

    Dec 26, 2016 3:59 PM - CRITAWAKETS: Beautiful Level Design. You dont know where to go!
    Dec 26, 2016 6:21 PM - LT.: What is up with some of the graphics in the class weapons selection and the new research paths?
    Dec 26, 2016 6:22 PM - LT.: If ain't broken don't fix it, I feel like they are updating the looks of the reserach menu and the weapon loadouts just for the sake of it
    Dec 26, 2016 6:23 PM - LT.: I'm all for updating the game and changing parts of it where required, but there is no point in updating things that don't require it.
    Dec 26, 2016 8:22 PM - Kidpaler: So, actually LT, they are updating the game so that the UI can be changed by anyone and is done by Javascript. They are rebuilding the UI from the ground up and therefore needed new icons
    Dec 26, 2016 8:53 PM - Lazybum: You wouldn't actually need new icons for that, especially considering all the new icons are the same size as the old ones.
    Dec 26, 2016 8:54 PM - Lazybum: the only reason for it is to not have the quality suffer if they needed to be changed from one format to another
    Dec 26, 2016 8:54 PM - Lazybum: Or they just simply wanted to change the look of the ui
    Dec 26, 2016 8:55 PM - Lazybum: I haven't the foggiest if the javascript means it uses the valve file format for things or it just uses jpegs or whatever
    Dec 26, 2016 8:55 PM - Lazybum: I'm kinda curious about that part honestly
    Dec 26, 2016 9:01 PM - Thexa4: There are two things going on right now that influence the UI:
    Dec 26, 2016 9:01 PM - Thexa4: Devo wants to improve some of the badly compressed icons and wanted to modernize the style, that is causing the new looks
    Dec 26, 2016 9:02 PM - Thexa4: The other thing being worked on is javascript hud elements, which don't need changes to the ui, but there are things that Devo wants displayed differently. That's why the hud elements could change.
    Dec 26, 2016 9:02 PM - Thexa4: JS changes are not in the game yet btw
    Dec 26, 2016 9:06 PM - Thexa4: We're trying not to change things for changes sake.
    Dec 26, 2016 9:08 PM - LT.: Hey guys, no I get what your saying and appreciate your work. Just voicing that the UI changes don't look the nicest
    Dec 26, 2016 9:09 PM - LT.: Fair enough if this is not their final state
    Dec 26, 2016 10:44 PM - flasche: nothing in empires ever is in final state :P

    Dec 27, 2016 5:37 AM - Rehnquist: These new sounds are objectively shitty
    Dec 27, 2016 10:35 AM - Ranger: I only tried 3 weapons while playing vehicle training. I liked HE and ER. I used Plasma but I forgot what it sounds like. I don't remember hearing stupid sounds from other tanks.
    Dec 27, 2016 12:02 PM - Ranger: "I remember when I lived in the US, someone telling me: you can call me anything you want, but don't call me "late for dinner"!" kek
    Dec 27, 2016 3:06 PM - Polyesta: (Slowly claps)
    Dec 27, 2016 9:12 PM - Rehnquist: Youre right, ranger. Theyre not all shitty. Missiles, repair tool and a lot of the infantry weapons sound worse now IMO
    Dec 27, 2016 9:14 PM - Kidpaler: Repair tool, like I have stated in NUMEROUS threads, was NOT intentional and is being reverted.
    Dec 27, 2016 9:20 PM - Kidpaler: Theres a couple changes that will be rolling out as we go, believe me. However, saying "They are all shit" isn't really helpful in fixing what is specifically wrong with your gripes.
    Dec 27, 2016 10:29 PM - flasche: the repair tool is shit :P
    Dec 27, 2016 10:29 PM - flasche: no jk i have not played the new version yet
    Dec 27, 2016 10:29 PM - Kidpaler: Well, when you complain about the repair tool you are not wrong. That is for sure.
    Dec 28, 2016 3:42 AM - Polyesta: today I learned in class... bourbon's one hell'va

    Dec 28, 2016 12:08 PM - flasche: does that look nf-ish?
    Dec 28, 2016 12:08 PM - flasche: color wise i mean
    Dec 28, 2016 12:11 PM - flasche: maybe ill redo all building textures just to see if empires looks better with high resolution textures
    Dec 28, 2016 12:11 PM - flasche: problem is, unless there are sources for the models, it will look completely out of place :\
    Dec 28, 2016 12:13 PM - flasche: also the LODs are unwrapped and textures with a seperate texture.
    Dec 28, 2016 12:14 PM - flasche: and thats where i fear it will become a serious effort and not only some sideproject to learn substance
    Dec 28, 2016 12:15 PM - Ranger: It looks nf-ish. I'm sorry. RIP.
    Dec 28, 2016 12:16 PM - Ranger: It almost looks like brown rubber. NF rax safe for children :)
    Dec 28, 2016 12:38 PM - flasche: too bad empires or rather source doesnt support physically based rendering, it looks soo much better in substance (or unity or unreal)
    Dec 28, 2016 12:38 PM - Ranger: git gud
    Dec 28, 2016 12:40 PM - flasche: also displacement mapping would be nice ^^
