@мasterмind: > I'll apply for an graphics editor, drop me an PM. Shouldn't you send the PM if you're applying? :|

**Kingdoms Recruitment Thread** Kingdoms is an RPG that has been in development all summer. It boasts expansive maps and a unique faction-based PvP system. It is once again open for new developers! The game thread is here for more details: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,72246.0.html The following positions are open: **Mapper** This is a position that we don't take lightly in Kingdoms. Because Kingdoms is so environment heavy, mapping is our strongest point in presenting our game. Therefore, we ask for only the most experienced mappers to apply. This is one of the most enjoyable positions, but do understand that although we ask for a creative mind, we also hope that you can listen to instructions when we give plans of a map's layout. The requirement for this position is an example of your mapping. Kingdoms will use only RPG Maker XP tiles, so we will only accept applications using them. **Database Editor** I'll be honest, this is a rough one. We need someone to help with databasing and balancing items, enemies, and spells. Someone who is strong with their math and willing to crunch numbers and fill out information. The reward is of course in-game benefits and being a member of the team. You will need to be honest and dedicated, and we prefer you have some English skills for filling out descriptions accurately and of course math skills for calculating stats. **Graphics Editor** This position is important to the speed in which Kingdoms is created. We plan to use a lot of RPGMakerXP's graphics, so there is nothing extensive like creating full custom tilesets involved. Instead, we need someone who is able to create paperdoll based on weapon icons as well as help with converting, arranging, and optimizing certain graphics. We ask that you submit an example of your graphics work before applying for this position. If you wish to apply, please fill out the following template: * * * Name: Years of experience with Eclipse: Position you are applying for: Why do you want to work with Kingdoms?: Map Example (If Applying for Mapper) Graphics Example (If Applying for Graphics Editor) * * * **You may submit your applications _privately_ through PM or email ([email protected]).** Please feel free to ask any questions and of course, thank you very much for your interest in Kingdoms!

Augh, never mind disregard my last post. RPGVX's tiles are 64x96 instead of XP's 96x128 for one. I believe there are some settings you can modify to change that in the source, if I recall. But for static tiles it works like this: 

@S.J.R.: Thanks for clearing it up, I mean that honestly. I had a feeling I was wrong, but I was pretty far off haha. It's good to know it's possible then. It will really revolutionize the game industry.

Yes it's a lot of data so it's unlikely, but I don't believe the shading is based on every single vertex, it's probably applied to a group of them. 3D isn't really my strong point, so I don't really know. All I can tell you is they're not "atoms".

They're not atoms, he put it into those terms for people to understand. It's using a large amount of vertices, so essentially there are still polygons(?), they're just so incredibly small that they become insignificant. The "atoms" aren't little 3D dots forming a shape, if that's what the implication is.

Holy shit. I'm having a hard time believing it, but that's pretty god damn sweet regardless.

@Sauros: > This isn't even a source edit. this is just damn common sense. Someone delete this thread. You'd be surprised how many people on this forum lack it. This is perfectly valid instruction that will actually help someone regardless of if you deem it useless.

Thanks for this, I needed the sounds converted. Saves a bit of time.

Oh this looks fun. Thanks!

Modified mah character a bit.

@Kusy: > My mistake then, take no offence. > > What I ment is that diffrent colors as glows are not the best idea. Purely from the cosmetic point of view. It's generaly better to keep stuff clean, one color for glows makes the whole menu more consistent, feels like they are part of one bigger thing instead of being well, just randomly colorfull. > > It's also usualy a good thing to line the buttons in one line, makes the mouse movment less chaotic, you can just navigate by going up and down without the need for swirling the mose sideways like a madman. It's alright, and thanks for the really constructive critique. It makes sense, I'll try to improve the aesthetics as you mentioned.

@Anna: > There's a few, not many play on Joker, or atleast they aren't on my friends list (I'm the closest to a no-lifer in APB there is). > > Unfortunately my PSU died on my computer, the computer I'm currently using can't run APB:R, so for the time being I'm taking a break. > > Add "AnnaComnena" if you're on Joker, though. Especially if you're an enforcer (I have rocket and grenade launcher). > > Also, nice avatar; Ezio's one of the hottest characters of recent years (and I usually am not into mediterranean looks). I'll be sure to, and yeah I'm an enforcer. I've played only a little bit into it and I'm loving it. For anyone curious, my name ended up being Katirina (such a wonderfully original name thought up last minute by my friend and I) And thanks haha, Ezio is a pretty damn good looking character.

Is there any possibility of getting the PSDs of these?

Yeah, is there a list of Eclipse people on Joker?

@Robin: > More like girls don't pump their boobs to the size most in-game characters have. > > In fact most of the girls I play with complain about having no arse at all on their characters. Their breasts are usually set to an actual average size. > > The only people who enjoy walking around with two bowling balls attached to their chests are 12 year old virgins who's only idea of sexuality comes from pr0n. This. I'm trying this game out. Still installing it on my Windows 7 partition, but I got to play around with the customization a bit and it looks pretty damn fantastic. Does anyone play on the US server at all?

Umm…It wasn't meant to be rude I honestly didn't know what the word was... Do explain, how is it a bad design idea?

@Kusy: > Making buttons glow in diffrent colors after mouseover - bad desing idea. Bad what idea?

Yes indeed, it's called learning how to use Visual Basic.

This looks good, I might look into it when all of the bugs are worked out.

@Broojo: > Yep, thats what I'm doing, optimising the 16x16 tiles for 32x32, makes some things like walls easier but other things like small scenery items a real female dog. If you're doing Link to the Past, wait till you get to the mountains. Those are a serious pain in the ass!

@Socuine: > It's a better Main Menu screen than most can pull off. Though I have to agree on those filters, work on that. Besides that, good job. :) Thanks :) The picture will get fixed up in time. I just wanted to have a general idea.

You didn't know about spriters resource? They have everything. The best way is to create your own 32x32 tiles by optimizing the ripped tilesets. It's a lot of work, but it pays off.

Changed it up a bit

@Jungle: > I don't mean to be immature, but you should probably move the place he is holding that stick… Ugh. My brother said that, I really didnt think it was that bad. His crotch line was way more to the left in the drawing too.
