Other Games / Chronicles of Elyria - A new kind of MMORPG
« on: October 31, 2016, 02:57:09 am »
I've only recently discovered this game and thought I better share it as it is not very well known at this moment.

*Note that this game is still in development*

Here's a quick overview from the site, which you can find here:

Quote
The most dynamic and immersive MMO to date, Chronicles of Elyria is the first MMORPG where your character ages and dies, encouraging you to think beyond your character to their role in a larger story.

Fearless in its design, it embraces a character's ability to impact other characters. A closed economy, finite resources, non-repeatable quests, and a fully destructible environment means the world is experienced differently for every character. Each time you log in there is something for you to participate in. Local, regional, and national conflicts are continuously unfolding, giving birth to repeated opportunities for you to change the course of history.

Enter the world as a member of a player or NPC-ran family, then work your way up from a humble adventurer to a landed vassal, develop your dynasty, and work your way to King. Not interested in running a kingdom? The fully skill-based system and lack of classes means you're rewarded with the ability to create the exact character you want to.

Here is also a link to the kickstarter which covers a lot of the games features as well as reward and purchase packages.

This game is probably the most immersive and realistic game I've heard of. You can choose the starting age of your character, which from what I think can be as young as 15 years old. Your character will require food and water to live. They will age, grow and their body will change and adjust based on how you play. Make your character live out the life you want them too, whether that be an adventurer or beast tamer, maybe a merchant or bard or even a ruler of your own kingdom or settlement. You could even be a bandit, ambushing unsuspecting travellers -however you'd probably receive a bounty on your head depending on if you get caught or if witnesses get away, and who knows how many bounty hunters will be after you. If you're willing to take risks then go for it! Just beware of the consequences ;) If you just want a quieter and simple life, you could build a house somewhere and live off the land. By cooperating with other members of the community you can work together to create your own perfect civilisations, abiding by your own laws and rules, and providing work, safety and shelter for each other. The possibilities are endless and really up to you as the player.

I'd recommend checking out the site to get more information on the game so far :)

I couldn't figure out how to embed the actual video onto the site but here's some links and images for quick previews of the game:

The forum is pretty active, so if you have any questions or queries you can guarantee a quick reply. Members have already started recruiting people for their guilds, kingdoms, families, etc in preparation for when the game comes out. Apparently (I'm not 100% sure so don't take my word for it) but I think there is a release date for next year although I'm not sure if that's for the actual game or the alpha. Regardless of either one it will provide plenty of time to save up for game packages and to meet new people.

I don't think I've ever been this excited for a game and hope to interest some people here :3

Forum Suggestions & Ideas / Contests?
« on: March 28, 2015, 02:09:20 am »
Wasn't sure if this belongs here or in the Forum Discussion section or if the answer to this has already been said. Anyway...

I was wondering if there will be any contests in future? It has been quite a while since I've seen a competition or contest being held. I know there is the preset contest and those "treasure hunt" contests for certain made maps, but I was thinking if it would be possible to bring back those "Video Contest", "Most Liked Signature Contest", "Map Design Contest", "Art Contest" etc.

A variety of contests so members with different skills will have something they could each participate in. Just something fun and different.

Of course, there would have to be judges, so I understand if it's a case of time and real life issues.

It's just a question I've had in mind for some time now.

Thank you :)

Discussion Board / Work
« on: September 20, 2014, 05:35:17 am »
Well after looking for a job for a while I think I might be getting a job at a restaurant, but now I'm not so sure I want to work xD

I did my first trial yesterday which went from 4pm - 10:30pm. It's open from 8am to 10pm on fridays and saturdays! D': I've been washing dishes and making pizza bases as well as a whole lot of cleaning. There's no uniform so I have to wear my own clothes which end up stinky by the end of the day. I haven't had the chance to work at the counter or make any coffees yet but it's gotta be better than working in the kitchen. When I got home my ankles were hurting heaps from standing the whole time and my clothes stunk of dish water. So far it hasn't been very pleasant.

I'm really having second thoughts about working but I need a job. Would it be any easier if I worked in a supermarket? I know a job is not supposed to be easy but I don't want to feel miserable and sore though.

Anyway, how many floofs here have jobs and what do you guise have to do? :3

Game Help / Latest item and marking packs?
« on: August 10, 2014, 03:17:06 am »
Hello everyone ^^

Just wondering what item and marking pack most Feralheart users are using? I've got an old version of Mass Markings and Ringo and Delays item pack. I often have the problem of people seeing my character wearing different items and markings.

I'd just like to get up to date and have my characters seen as made.

Thank you! :)

Game Help / The "Update" button?
« on: May 07, 2014, 10:22:31 am »
In Map Maker, Object Maker and Preset Maker I've noticed the "Update" button but I have no idea what it does.

This button has puzzled me every time I come across it. I know it doesn't update the object if you've edited the files while Feralheart is still open.

So would anyone know what this button does?

Thanks ^^

Discussion Board / Getting teeth removed... ;_;
« on: April 02, 2014, 08:50:01 am »
I went to the dentist today about getting braces, I have crowded teeth top and bottom as well as a deep bite (when your top teeth completely cover your bottom teeth). He said I need to remove 4 teeth in order to fit the braces -unless I want buck teeth- and I'm freaking out. I've never had my teeth removed before and I'm scared up to the point where I want to cry. (Laugh if you want, I don't care! :P)

My friend says it doesn't hurt at all but my mum says it does feel a little painful, I'm not sure who to believe lol. I need braces as soon as possible considering I'm 17 next year and I should've had something done with my teeth a long time ago because I'm not growing anymore. So how painful will it be getting teeth extracted?

With all that to think about mum will be paying everything left in her bank account for me, we're struggling with money as it is and there aren't any jobs available in our area. I feel like a bit of a burden now -.-

Would anyone have any advice with maybe working online? I would like to be able to find some source of income for my family since there are very limited work choices here.

Thanks everyone!

Discussion Board / I think I've got a virus ;_;
« on: December 14, 2013, 09:57:20 am »
I was searching for a water shader mod for minecraft and I came across the Finite Liquid mod on Google, it was one of those links that begin the download automatically and so when it finished downloading every program I had open crashed and closed with this error:



Once that happens then the program won't open unless it's 'Run as Administrator' which I can't do when I want to open videos, music or images. I have to open the program and manually select every file I want to preview. In the Control Panel I can't click any of the blue links so I cannot uninstall any programs or anything. If I try to type a command in the Command Prompt it comes up with Access Denied.

I've downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and used it to scan my computer, it said it found the viruses and then deleted them but I'm still experiencing problems. Now I'm trying Microsoft Security Essentials and it's taking over 6+ hours to scan my computer and if it comes up with nothing I'm gonna be mad (I've been sitting here all day waiting for it to finish) D:<

I haven't told my mum about it considering she's really upset that the car is now broken and she can't afford to fix it so we'll be missing out on a lot of planned visits and trips for the holidays. Plus this is also my new laptop after all and I'm really worried how she will react. I've never had a virus before so I'm not exactly sure what to do. I live in a really small rural area and where I bought the laptop is an hour away by car. I know there's a computer fixing home business here but I don't know if they deal with viruses or just fixing broken screens and stuff.

I'm not sure if I still have my one year warranty on the laptop? I've heard restoring my laptop to factory settings would get rid of the virus but I would have to back up all my files on a USB or something, right? I'm just worried I might infect my USB or hard drive.

In desperate need of help here, would anyone have a solution? D:

Game Help / Glow in the dark presets
« on: November 16, 2013, 11:24:34 pm »
I'm not sure why but it's always the glow in the dark presets that I seem to have trouble with.

I know how to make one as I have made one before, it's just a lot of the time when using the code none of the textures show up on the actual preset in-game.

Here is the code I'm using:

Code: [Select]
material preset_10_bodyMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10body.PNG
}
}
pass
{
emissive 1.0 1.0 1.0
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10glowbody.PNG
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_bodyMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10body.PNG
}
}
pass
{
emissive 1.0 1.0 1.0
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10glowbody.PNG
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_headMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10head.PNG
}
}
pass
{
emissive 1.0 1.0 1.0
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10glowhead.PNG
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_headMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10head.PNG
}
}
pass
{
emissive 1.0 1.0 1.0
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10glowhead.PNG
}
}

}
}
material preset_10_eyeMatL
{
technique
{

{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10leye.PNG
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_eyeMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10reye.PNG
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_tailMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10tail.PNG
}
}
pass
{
emissive 1.0 1.0 1.0
scene_blend alpha_blend

{

}
}
}
}
material preset_10_maneMat
{

{
pass
{

cull_hardware none
cull_software none
scene_blend alpha_blend
alpha_rejection greater_equal 250
texture_unit
{
texture YOURMANETEXTURE.PNG
}
}
}
}

I made a glowing preset with preset_9 and it works without any problems, however I copied the code and used in the preset_10.material file and it doesn't work. The image I made (only the start of the body) is called preset_10body.png and it doesn't show up in Preset Maker. I've even changed the format to .jpg in case it worked but no, nothing.

I'm not sure why it's not working or what I've done wrong. As I said, the code I used works for preset_9 but not preset_10 and the image name matches what's in the .material file. Does it only work with certain preset numbers?

Could anyone give me an idea on what I'm doing wrong and what the solution is, please? :3

Thank you.

Discussion Board / Story writing... I need help with my plot ^^"
« on: September 29, 2013, 01:28:23 am »
I'm just needing some help with my story for English in a week or so and must be 1000+  

I've thought of a plot so far but I need some ideas on how to put it all together and give it more detail.

Currently what I'm thinking is having a cursed town and because of this curse all the people in the town are "dead". They look like normal living people with emotions and life but really they are dead inside. They can't die, age, grow or leave the town. Their souls are earthbound and can't leave so they are desperately looking for ways to escape. Everyone who currently isn't dead in the town, such as newcomers, will mysteriously go missing and will return to the town dead like everyone else a few days or weeks later. When the newcomer returns, one of the dead will vanish and never return. There are also rituals and sacrifices in a sanctum temple type of place. The main character will find the sanctum and is caught by his "friends" who then sacrifices him and then he wakes up as one of the dead in his bedroom but he thinks it was a nightmare.

This curse is what is really keeping me from writing. How did this curse start and why this town? What should the curse be called? What can I add and how could I improve this idea? Sacrificing for what and to who? How will the main character find out about this curse?

The town is located up in the mountains, I also don't have a name for the town or where it is. My friend suggested that the town was cursed by a witch who was killed at the stake. She suggested adding some witchcraft or a crazy scientist who created a disease. Maybe the 'dead' and the 'living' should have different terms or names rather than a living and dead person.

I, however, was thinking that when the dead performed a sacrifice on a living person their soul will be set free and will be replaced by the living person who is now part of the dead. If that is the case then the town population will always be the same which would be a bit suspicious and curious.

I'm really in urgent need of ideas for my story! I don't want to change to a different plot but looking for ways to improve my current one.

Thank you :)
