Feral Heart

We stay because we care. We're here on this thread because we care. We're not here to damage the game. Quite the opposite actually- we want to see it flourish again. I've been playing this game off and on since 2011. I've been through all the giant updates and changes. I know there have to be a TON of veteran players like myself, who just want the best for the game/community they've grown up with. If I didn't care, I could have EASILY peaced out/not spoken up. Same with everyone else.

But no- there are problems. We're addressing those problems. We're attempting to iron out those problems. And we're trying to level out any sour relationships. But what that requires is open communication and explanation.

Hello! Trying to achieve a certain effect with my preset has left me quite puzzled. I've drawn a necklace onto my character that I want to be iridescent/shimmery. I've messed around with coding a bit, but instead of just making the necklace iridescent, her whole body ends up getting a rainbow shimmer/oil slick effect. That, or no effect is visible at all.

Does anyone know how to isolate the texture so it's just on her necklace/wherever I want it, instead of covering her whole body? I'd really appreciate it!

This is the code I was attempting to mess with. I know dealing with textures on presets is all about layering, but I'm just not 100% sure on how to successfully pull that off lol!

I agree with Riven. Like I said before, I've been trying to start up a strictly literate role play, but advertising is getting extremely difficult. We go out for about one and half, to two hours at a time advertising with movie clips, and in that time we only get a single person. Back when I had this exact same role playing running in 2011, we would get multiple members in about thirty minutes or less thanks to advertising on general. It's just....extremely bad at the moment, not to mention that some people spam the movies over and over with small, pointless ads or even just for trolling purposes. I understand that happened on general, but at least it was controlled. All the movie spam is just getting out of hand. People turn off movies out of annoyance now, so you have the possibility to lose the interest of potential new members for this reason! And I know, someone is going to tell me to advertise on the boards, and I have, but I've only gotten a single interested member so far. I also have a problem with advertising on the boards, as it may be hard, or even impossible, to run into that member online and accept them into the group.

What I don't understand, is with all this distaste shown on this thread, the length of time general has been away, and all the problems that are happening in the plains, why hasn't something been done? I know it may not exactly be my place to ask that sort of thing, but I think I'm speaking for quite a few people when I say we're....restless. General chat being taken away was said to be just a test, but it's been quite some time now; almost two months correct? Maybe more, I've lost track. But people seem to be growing away from FH, or just getting annoyed with it. I know many of my friends have left now, and are moving on to IT servers and such to try and perhaps find some kind of role playing hope there. If a rather large portion of the community seems to be affected negatively...can't some kind of compromise be made? I apologize for my bluntness, but I just wanted to get this off my mind :I

Other than that, best of luck, and we would love to have you aboard

The Pure Ones are a group of mostly light colored wolves with strong beliefs. They are ultimately kind in nature, and normally dislike fighting. They rather believe in compromising, or talking things through, as opposed to slaughtering others out of anger. However, most are extremely loyal to their pack mates, and will do whatever it takes to keep each other safe. Instead of ruling with power and force, they rule by diplomatic and kind ways. The Pure Ones do not force any wolf to obey them; if they are alone however, they accept any wolf with care (Even if the wolf is a formal dark one, in which that case they will be monitored). They live in the Great Oak Tree, surrounded by the spirits of the once powerful and pure ancestors. Almost all the wolves in this pack are lightly colored, sometimes with a few rare exceptions.



Alpha Pair(The strongest and well-renowned wolves within the pack. They are the ones who give all the commands, and are known to be very wise. Their word is law. If two alphas are present, they will be a mated pair.)

Beta Pair(The second most respected wolves in the pack. They are allowed to give orders, but for large tasks, they must run their ideas by the alphas first. The betas are also allowed to take over if the alphas are not present. They do not necessarily have to be a mated pair.)

Delta Pair(Third in command, the delta pair can give few orders, and take over when the betas and alphas are not present.)

Star Walker(These wolves are very spiritual, known to have great connection to those above, and are also said to be very wise. Star Walkers will aid the alphas when faced with tough decisions, and are normally related to the alpha in some way.)

Lead Guardian (The strongest, the fittest, and the most worthy of all the guardians. This wolf knows most, if not all fighting tactics, and reports straight to the alphas in the event of a battle. This wolf also trains fellow guardians and keeps them fit with skills.)

Healers(These wolves take care of all sick wolves, pups and elders alike):

Spirit Seeker(These wolves have the strongest connection with the Great Ones, as they are said to be able to communicate with the long-deceased alphas. The Spirit Seekers will often receive omens and warnings from the Great Ones, and will report if something is amiss.)

Guardians (These wolves protect and watch out for their pack mates; they will fight when they find themselves in a bad situation.)

Feeders(These wolves hunt for the pack and provide most of the food.)

Elders(Any wolf who is too weak or old to continue their duties; very respected and are revered to be very wise.)

Pup Watcher (This wolf takes care of pups when their parents are busy, and teaches them skills, such as hunting and fighting.)

Omegas(These wolves are playful and are used to make other wolves feel better in bad situations. They are to be respected and are NOT punching bags in this pack.)

Apprentices (Any pup over 8 weeks that needs training.)

Pups(Any wolf under 8 weeks of age.)
