Feral Heart

Whelp. I found the solution - which was to UV map the entire object and just do the old-fashioned way of using textures instead of procedural materials from blender, since OGRE apparently does this a lot with Blender-fashioned materials. Just as I feared.

I'm going to have so much fun doing that to a 120-cell mesh. Yippee.

Nonetheless, thanks for the help though.

Basically, I made a mesh in Blender, and managed to successfully get it into the game with little to no problem at all, with the mesh and collision working fine and everything.

Only one problem:


I didn't have as much luck as I did with the actual material file. See, I wanted it to appear reflective, yet transparent like water, except much more translucent as pictured above.

Unfortunately...


It comes out like this.
To be honest, I didn't expect it to have a reflective look, because whenever whenever I used the default WaterReflectMat on ANY object in Object Maker, it comes out invisible or only reflective on one side (is that normal?).
But, I did expect transparency to work, but...it doesn't.

So, what did I do wrong?

Also, here's the material file in case you need it:

I've seen the God = Admin comparison before actually. XD

There was once this interesting YouTube conversation I was looking at:

> "Life is a game with good graphics, but a terrible storyline. The community is terrible, with a lot of them arguing whether or not there is an admin."
> "Tell me about it. And don't get me started on the lag. It takes 9 months to spawn for crying out loud!"
>"Then there's the 18-year-long tutorial level that's actually MANDATORY and cannot be skipped."

Yes, I know that this is a "Life = Videogame" comparison, but there's still the God = Admin joke in there. I just thought it would be interesting the share. :3

This can both be annoying outside and inside an RP, but moreso when you're not roleplaying to begin with.

This could be any player, from random parent-beggars (pups who beg for parents) to literate easy-going players that are your friends.

And while you and somebody else are having a good time, somebody HAS to break the mood because they're crying on the other side of the computer and NEED attention. But then there's the people that don't necessarily need attention, but pull the same crap. Instead, they want EVERYONE to do a moment of silence before we can proceed with our roleplay or having fun...if we only can with such depressing thoughts in our minds.

Friend: "YO MAMA WAS SO FAT, HER BELT SIZE WAS THE EQUATOR."
((Apparently, this was a reference to the Nutty Professor, which was a great movie that my entire group of friends love, including myself.))
Me and other friends: "LOL XD"
Party-Pooper: "..."
Party-Pooper: "My mom's dead, you prick."
Me: "Dude, he wasn't making the joke AT YOU. No need to get offended. >_>'
Party-Pooper: "I don't care. You guys need to appreciate what you have. I don't have a mother, and wouldn't care if my mom was fat."
Me: "Well, I don't have a younger sibling, so I'm never going to have a chance to be a "Big Brother" in my entire life just as much as you don't get to have a mother at all."
Party-Pooper: "Siblings are nothing compared to parents. Parents don't treat you bad and expect you to love them back."
Me: "Uh, yeah, they do. They're called Child Abusers. And that's just bull what you just said about siblings being lower than parents. Some siblings do take on a parental role and teach you things better than an actual parent will. Or rather, anyone can do, that's why we have a thing called FAMILY, as everyone in it is important, whether it's cousins, aunts, grandparents, siblings or parents."
Party-Pooper: "Well, dead mothers are nothing to joke about."
Me: "WE WERENT EVEN TALKING ABOUT DEAD MOTHERS. We're joking about the Nutty Professor, and the joke was...have you even watched the movie?!"
Party-Pooper: "Course not. Any movie with that kind of joke in it is a terrible movie. Now can we just drop the subject, I think I'm going to cry."
Me: "You're 19 years old, and you're going to cry over something like this? Even when my dad got paralyzed due to an accident on the road, I'm not crying about it, and I still love him. You're the one who needs to learn to appreciate what you have. You can walk, talk, and type on a computer while millions in the world, motherless or not, can't. And you need to appreciate that YOU are alive, and instead of making your mother's death a bad thing,why don't you learn something from it? Like appreciating that you are alive and not dead!"

They went offline after that. The rest of the day was nothing but arguing or ranting from what this idiot had said. The person came online two days later, and angrily yelled at us for treating him so poorly, and that he will 'commit suicide if [we] don't apologize' to him. We didn't apologize, and I asked why a 19-yr-old guy is doing this, and that he should man up. The so-called friend replied that he was actually a 12-yr-old girl.

THEN WHY DID YOU SAY YOU WERE A 19-YR-OLD MALE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

When I yelled that statement, they said it was a typo. Riiiight. Then, when we didn't apologize, they went offline for about a month and came back online. I whispered, "Welcome back from the dead. How was your trip to Purgatory?"

They went offline after that, and made a different account to yell at us for awhile before finally leaving us to roleplay and have fun somewhere else. And everytime they came back up to get mad at us, it was always when we were having a good time.

Seriously, all of this over a yo-mama joke?
Come on, this isn't the 20th century. Lighten up.

Anyone else got their own story or opinion to share?

Okay, first sparkledogs came about, which I can handle--but now, there's like an outbreak of human roleplayers.
No seriously, I've been seriously seeing them a lot more often than usual.

I'm trying my best to stay neutral on the subject, since it is being discriminatory and all--and stupid since we all are humans irl (say otherwise about your "irl species", I will NOT believe you, so don't try to convince me).

Anywho, just to keep the forums lively aside from the...recent topics i've seen in this section xD

What is your opinion on human roleplayers?

When I mean "human roleplayer", I mean someone who has the name "Sasha Human".
People with "Teen" doesn't really specify their species, so I don't know why so many people automatically think they're human XD
Human-related "species", like werewolves and vampires, etc. may also be included on this subject.
