Art Gallery / Re: Aria's Art [Taking Requests]

Don't worry you guys. xD Once I finish up what I have, the slots will open again. So go ahead and post your characters and I'll get to you eventually.

And thank you Vespian. I was doing pretty okay the other day, but just this morning it's taken a really bad turn. I have a sore throat that stings like no other. It hurts to swallow, hurts to breath, hurts to talk, just... It's not good. I think all I'm going be drinking is tea today. Whatever it takes to sooth my throat.

I started coming down with a cold, so I thought maybe I should give myself break from brain straining projects and relax a little. -w-; Though, I should probably give myself something to do while I wait for this cold to pass by.

So... I'll be taking art requests! OwO

Here's my gallery on Weasyl, feel free to take a look through it. I don't know if I want to strain myself too much by drawing something that would take a while to finish, so I think I'm going to limit the drawing styles that I will allow you guys to request. I'll make a list for you guys to choose from.

All you need to do let me know what style you want and show me a picture of your character. Additional details are welcome. I can do any species, including humans and fantasy creatures. Don't feel shy to ask me to draw anything that isn't a feline or canine.

Also, I'll only have two slots for now to make sure I'm not putting more on my plate than I can handle.




STYLES

My Usual

Semi-Realistic

Chibi

TLK




SLOTS

1. Dundee
2. Brittnie

In line but not guaranteed:
1. OreoHeroz
2. Shenidan

4. Sherlolly
5. ||Katra~the~Kitty||
6. ~!Comacon!~

I would say the game plan is to just start using and coming up with new terms. Refrain from using literate, semi-literate, or illiterate to describe anything roleplay related. o: It would be nice if we can all try using the same or very similar terms, that's why I put that small area for new term in my op.

Well, the more people that try to use these other suggestions, the better. Of course nothing is going to happen if I'm the only one actually trying to do something. I need more people to help.

Look, I'm going to be completely honest. It's bothering me that most of you are telling "That's a nice idea, but it's probably not going to work." You don't know that. The only way you're really going to know is if you actually try. I can't make this change by myself if I'm going try and do this by influence. The more people that help, the better. That way we can get others to notice that there are new terms being used by a number of people and might consider learning what they are. Learning them might not even be necessary because of how simply stated they are.

Imo, saying your roleplay is literate doesn't explain one bit what level or style you want your roleplay to be. The definition of literate is someone who can read and write, which literally refers to everyone on the game. That isn't a "level" of writing...


Faolan, I'm not sure I want to go up to people ingame and tell them to change the words their using or state the definition out of nowhere. From what it sounds like, people wont listen, and that really would be useless. So that's why I'm suggesting for those who want this change to try and become a part of what I'm doing and help influence others to start using different words.

This may not change those who are using these words to bag down on people, but what I am mostly hoping for is people to open themselves up to take in new vocabulary.

I've updated my original post. Please see what it says if you haven't already.

Thanks WarKat. xD

I agree with you, PrettyReckless. It might be hard, but I have to at least try. I've been thinking this through as much as I can and finding ways that could possibly work. All I need to do is take action and see what happens.

And Faolan, that's just it. Is it really appropriate to use the word illiterate for someone whose grammar or spelling might not be the best? They can still read and write. Everyone on this forum and game can. From my point of view, an illiterate is, for example, a young child who hasn't learned to read or write yet at all. So hopefully you can see why I'm calling it an insult, regardless if you're meaning to use it that way or not.

I know a lot of people don't really know me, but I think I'd like to see if I can help move a small part of the community in a better direction. I also hope I'm not offending anyone by posting this.

I personally don't like seeing people calling each other or referring to themselves as literate or illiterate. I understand now what people are trying to use the word literate for, but I think it's being misused and that there's a more friendly and appropriate word that can take it's place. As for the word illiterate, it's also being misused (a nightmare compared to literate) and has become more of a straight up insult to be thrown at other players.

I've seen this community a lot brighter than what it is now. It's an absolute shame to see a part of it slowly sinking in mud like this.

What I'd like to do is try and find new friendly terms to help people describe their own style of roleplaying. There is a much better way to do it than just using "literate" and "illiterate." We also shouldn't be judging other people's roleplay style and describe it for them. That is terribly rude and inconsiderate. Everyone roleplays differently. There is no right or wrong on how to roleplay. Roleplaying is simply "playing pretend." Some just do it more organized or polished than others, but it isn't a bad thing for someone's roleplay style to be less organized or polished. The only thing that really matters is them being able to portray their own imagination in a way that they themselves understand. They're not roleplaying for you. You're not roleplaying for them. They are doing it for themselves as you are doing it for yourself. So respect other people and how they roleplay. Please. And allow each person to speak for themselves like you would want to speak for yourself.

Now to find those friendly words. Words that are least likely to mean something negative or pretty much have no negative meaning at all. I know there has to be some out there. I'll be looking for them intently. I'd be very glad if anyone wants to help me.

Also, I'm usually a very optimistic person, and a tad bit stubborn if I might add. I don't want to hear that trying to make this change is useless. I'm going to try to do at least something no matter what anyone says. I know this place can be better. With a number of people trying to be a good example (which I know many of you are already) and also help kindly refer people to new words, I'm sure we can make a difference.

If you think this isn't the right way to go about what I'm trying to do, then by all means, present to me a better idea. I'm all ears.




I NEED YOUR HELP

I've come up with the solution that we don't necessarily need to break it random people and say "Hey, I think you should use something different instead of literate and illiterate," and let those of use who agree with this already to use the power of influence. How else do you think people suddenly started using the words literate and illiterate? Someone could have started using them thinking they were a convenient way to describing something that no one bothered to describe beforehand. Then everyone else went along with it because, well, it was convenient. We, who agree that there should be change, should try using different terms and let others observe. Show them that there is a different, easy to understand, and accurate way to describe things.

Allow me to suggest some new, simple, and understandable terms. Feel free to come up with your own and reply with it so I can put it up. Please also give feedback on the ones that are up here already.

I am hoping fellow forum users and ingame players (that includes you) will try to use these to describe what kind of style or level they want to be used in their roleplay (instead of saying literate, semi-literate, or illiterate).




Here are some terms to help you describe your roleplay style:


Novel Style
Roleplay written in a novel like fashion.
Example: "Stay behind me." She whispered, looking to the young one behind her before she peeked around the edge of the boulder. Strange voices were heard in the direction that the two needed to head. She pressed the side of her body against the large rock and strained to make out what they were saying.

Free Form
No specific format, just go at it.




And here are a few great term to help you describe the level you might want your roleplay to be:


Simple
Short and straightforward.
Example: He lapped up the cold water.

Moderate
A few good length sentences and slightly descriptive.
Example: None yet

Advanced
About a paragraph and a good amount of description.
(A small tip: There is such thing as being too descriptive. Too much description can bore the reader.)
Example: None yet

Game Help / Re: No Lonely Cave; No Graphics Working

I had a similar issue when I installed the game to my program files folder instead of the default location. Turns out that it NEEDS to be in directly in the C drive. I don't think it has anything to do with the coding for FH made by Kov, but more of OGRE. My brother was messing around with ORGE and found out that you can't put your game in program files because of some sort of "rights protection" thing. Stupid, I know.

Try putting it in the C drive and let me know if that works.

Request/Find Meshes / Re: Need doe meshes!
« on: April 13, 2014, 11:32:10 pm »
Don't worry about my question. xD;

I downloaded the mesh you're talking about. I'm not able to edit it because it's a .mesh file. There is no way that I know of to convert a .mesh file into an editable file that can be opened by 3D programs. I've already searched all over the internet a few weeks back to find a solution when I wanted to edit a .mesh myself and didn't find anything, so I don't think anyone will be able to help you remove the antlers on this mesh. The only way you are going to get a doe is if you ask the person who made that mesh to edit it (if they still have the original editable file), or have someone else make you a complete new one.
