RAAAAAAAGE!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429367/3904165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429367/3904165.page GMT I'm just wondering if any of you guys get inspired by games whether it's the story, music, characters or just the looks. I'm a big Mass effect nerd.....well maybe sci-fi in general. I really would like to see humanity expand to outer space and colonize distant moons and planets and maybe one day be able to go FTL. Good example my high school was holding a annual science fair expo. My project was "Can humans live anywhere and how'' I used Brink as my example as I made a miniature ARK and explained how humans can live eco friendly. However knowing the game the main problem to making the ARK in real life was the how corrosive saltwater is to metal (not the class warfare that was main plot of the game).when the expo was over my friend came to my stand and he told how much of a nerd i was for copying Brink which I was slightly guilty. However that game inspired me to go into the science fair and show my science teachers there are other outlets instead of textbooks.

I want to fix a mod into my DoW DC, yet everything I do fails.

I use Windows 7 and It seems I'm unable to get my mod in the right place (list of files :Badges, Banners, Bug report, Drivers, DXP2, Engine, GhrapicsOptions, Logfiles, Patch, Playback, Profiles, Screenshots, Stats, Titanium_Wars_Mod (this is the mod's complete file I wan't to play which seems to be in the very wrog place), Wh40k. Then there is a long list of non accesable documents and stuff, for what I belive data and such. The run.exe with icon is there too ofcourse also the Module file for the mod.

So what should I do? I tried putting it in many files I thought logical but It didn't work. My game manager also seems to never show anything. Like truly never even when I played before the mod.

So please help me get a sollution, many thx. (The mod involves titans and such, really wanna try that)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428654/3890413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428654/3890413.page GMT For me... DEFINITELY Battlefield 3

The funny thing is: I ran out of ideas. I mean, what the hell would an Ork call sand? Cake? I beseech you, fair Dakkanaughts. Help me in my struggle.

You can access the language files by following this path: (Mac)
user/library/applicationsupport/minecraft/bin

Make sure you back up your bin/jar/etc.
Open the minecraft.jar using Archive Utility.
Open the created folder and look for a folder named "lang" no quotations. Find EN_US.lang and open it with Text Edit/Text Wrangler/Etc
Proceed to edit the language.
To test, rename the folder created in step 2 to minecraft.jar AND MOVE THE OLD .JAR SOMEWHERE SAFE.

I'm unfamiliar with windows, but I'm sure you follow the path for switching .jars. Just follow the same steps as above, amended for navigating Windows.

(Removed screencaps for the time being.)

[color=green][size=18]Up for suggestion now are:[/size][/color]
Squids, Ghasts, Blazes, Slimes, Magma Slimes, Endermen, Villagers, Mooshrooms, Snow Golems, and the Enderdragon. (I'll probably not edit the Enderdragon. Have you [i]seen[/i] that thing?)

What I've got so far are: (I'll link the images as I complete them.)
[spoiler]
Pigs => Basic Squig
Sheep => Hair Squig. "Hair Squigs have hairy growths, and Orks like to stick them in their heads to give themselves hair. " - 40kwiki
Cow => Grox
Chicken => Snotling "Snotlings are often used by them as cannon fodder, [b]food[/b] or even ammunition in certain cases." - 40kwiki. (I also like the idea of the ever-underfoot chicken being a snotling and flapping its arms wildly. I don't know why. :question: )
Zombie => Technical Servitor
Skeleton => Kroot
Creeper => Cultist (I remember reading/seeing somewhere that Cultists explode. I think it was DoW2:Retribution)
Wolf => Attack Squig

Its actually really fun, I take away everything bad I said about it after playing the Demo. But, without the Elite pass, I can't get passed Level 5. I was told when I rented the game that I can access all the features (i.e I can play everything advertised)but I cant.

I really didn't care much for ODST n reach; whilst Halo 3 was a bit of a letdown for me. But, I was actually very entertained by 343's anniversary edition. Obviously CE was a solid game, but it was the level of detail put into it; especially the human flood who look near horrific, that made the game excellent. I also liked the terminals narrating guilty spark, referencing Keyes being absorbed by the gravemind (which BTW is sick with the new graphics) and hinting at Halo 4. So it left me feeling unusually positive about Halo 4 and that its in safe hands.

What I know:
Two trailers have been put out, one involves the chief awakening on the front part of the frigate he left on and about to fall into an opeining portal. The other is a very interesting artwork piece which shows several environments and has quite an unusually dark tone. It also end with a barely visible but evidently sinsiter enemy.

http://www.vg247.com/2011/08/28/new-art-based-halo-4-trailer-airs-at-pax/ scroll down page to see trailer

Putting it together, it seems likely that the chief n cortona will be on their own for most of the game, with the environments hinting at a lost in space type scenario with him both trying to escape and slowly understanding the nature of the forerunner craft he is on. This would thus bring back a sense of mystery and suspense which was the main strength of Halo CE story. This mystery is provided, probably, by the realization that the forerunners survived in some form. The terminals in CE anniversary really hint at this, 343 specifically mentions that 'if one of our devices were to fail, or our technology to be used' (both hinted in Reach and done by the Covenant) then the Diadact would surely act. It also ends with him cryptically saying that this diadact, a forerunner military leader who opposed the building of the Halo's and advocated a war of annialation with the flood would be worse than the aforementioned gribblies. I'am not entirely sure that the thing at the end of the trailer is meant to be him. I was more inclined to think insane AI with the glowing red eye, usually a sign of 'rampancy'. If this is the case then there are two likely candidates from the lore as described in the recent forerunner trilogy books. Either its Mendicant Bias, who sided with the flood but redeemed himself during Halo 3 (don't ask too complicated n obscure), or its the AI which defeated him who has went insane after millennia of idleness. Or, I don't know, maybe the forerunners but their consciousnesses into machines to survive Halo (Necrons!!! :D :D :D).

I would thus suppose that this new trilogy will probably, and I hope, focus on introducing the new forerunner faction and taking time to explain WTF they are and not jump into reintroducing the UNSC and covenant splinter factions. I know, I know, I would also like to see redesigned elites and advanced marines. But, one of the issues I had with Halo 3 was that it got too convoluted in trying to resolve various plot points (covenant destruction, civil war, earth invasion, flood destruction, final forerunner mystery, character resolutions etc) it had just gotten bloated and wasn't helped by how it was put together. I really would prefer just havin chief n cortona having some alone time and focusing the game on the forerunners/whatever new enemy they want. If this really is a new trilogy then starting from a base that is more accesible to new players would be better anyway. Despite this, I'am fully expecting the UNSC, former covenant and flood (you know they haven't killed the bastards off! :thumbsup:) to play major roles in the series. I just hope they don't throw them in too early.

So anyway, I'am really hopeful for Halo 4 and looking forward to Holiday 2012. Anyone else's thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427819/3876099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427819/3876099.page GMT

The Story of the Origins of the Clan.
[spoiler]This is not a dumb clan, named after what some 5 year old in the world might consider his favourite animal, nor is it a childish, undisciplined mix of people.
This clan is meant to honor someone, not me, nor anyone in the clan, but someone who is no longer with us, my father.

You see, when I was about 10 my father and I began playing Dawn of War, a computer game based around the series of games and Games Workshop franchise, Warhammer 40,000. He and I loved that game, and alwas tried to outdo one another.
One day while searching the web for more games like it, he and I came across the Warhammer 40,000 board game, and unfortunately couldn't afford it. This slipped from our memoires over the tough years ahead and in early January, 2009, I found my father deceased from a Brain Aneurysm.
I was understandably torn up and played DoW a few days afterwards to remember the good times, and then I began to remember something, I remembered how he painted his army in the game's army painter, and I remembered what he called them, The Devil Dogs. Now, they were pruple and Black, and bore a wolf on their shoulder. Again this fell from memory in the emotional days after his death.
Then a few weeks later I stumbled upon the same board game that he and I had stumbled upon almost 5 years earlier, Warhammer. Of course, now, with the life insurance, my mother could afford to get me into the hobby, and so I did.
But in the weeks that it hd takn me to find this, I had as I said before, forgotten what my father called his army, so I painted them red and black, with white crosses on their armor.
However,I struggled with what I was to name them, and then I remembered the Devil Dogs, and so I named them such.

Now months and months later I got into Minecraft, and recently left my old clan, facing the decison to make a new clan, I decided to make this, the Devil Dog Chapter.
This clan is in Honor of my father, and we fight and build in his memory. [/spoiler]

I've just finished playing it extensively with some Dakkanaughts.
What do people think?
I love it. The game is challenging on Normal but not too hard, hard requires skill and teamwork and the next level of difficulty isn't on the demo AFAIK. The Breaching mechanic adds a nice level to the game also giving much more teamwork options.
My favorite load out is the SMG with backfire and the chip upgrades on the far right.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427311/3866954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427311/3866954.page GMT
I have just started to play the above mentioned game and wondered if any of the dakka community play?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427178/3864329.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/427178/3864329.page GMT
To my great suprise it loaded on to Vista no problem. :thumbsup:

For those not in the know it's an isometric Realtime strategy WW2 game. You are given a brief at the start and shown a map with your objectives.

Then in a departure from other similar games there is no resource building, set forces are provided and realistic use of cover LOS and range (albeit limited to tabletop scales). Tactic really are the order of the day and unsupported infantry or tank rush can take a terrible toll on your finite forces.

Anyway I'm just getting started on the first game (there seems to be 4 + expansions?) and three missions in have yet to refine decent tactics for taking occupied towns short of ample use of captured 122mm howitzers, mortars and followed up infantry and tanks. Losses are still high though. :'(

I am really struggling with getting LOS on the enemy before they target me.

Anyway if anyone would like to ruminate on tactics or just relive great victories in Sudden Strike here is the place to do it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426965/3860048.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426965/3860048.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426934/3859516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426934/3859516.page GMT RP you can do.

So firstly how IS the Kinnect? I heard once it was really cool to [play but I havnt heard anything on the actual games.

And what are some generally good 360 games? I seem to gravitate to FPS, driving/racing games, and RPGs as well. But really Im not one of those limiting myself types, a good game is a good game.

Lastly, anyone know anywhere to get some good deals on a box set with Kinnect? IE a website that sells them a bit off or something?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426837/3857553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426837/3857553.page GMT

Final Fantasy XIII 2. Yup, 13 2. How that works, I do not know.

Anyway: Is it time they just let the series end? Make this THE Final Fantasy.?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426227/3847200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426227/3847200.page GMT
The character models and armor have a real feeling of dimension and weight. Different types of cloth and leather have a sense of thickness and pattern, heavy armors look like they are resting on the model. It is actually a very low key aesthetic that works very well for the game. The classes are interesting as is the ability to choose abilities from other jobs to create a hodgepodge of skills to play how you like to some degree, and the crafting, which is a big part of the game isn't to bad, though like anything if you level it solely through grinding can get a little dull. I like that you don't have to buy spells but that they grow with the mage. For example a Conjurer gets Stone at level 1. Instead of having to later get Stone II, Stone III, ect the power of the spell just grows with the player, as does it's mp cost. You don't spend time and money upgrading spells or having to camp scrolls. The main problem I have had so far is that the community, not surprisingly, is quite small. OTOH it is a tight nit group that is generally very helpful.

I'll probably keep messing around with it becuase I would like to see the cs's and story before they release Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 later this year in which the game story will be completely changed. There will be events that the players will be involved with that herald the coming 'destruction' of the world which could be interesting. Some items will only be available pre-2.0, like a gobbue mount that 'legacy' players will get to carry over. I don't know if the new classes (Paladin, Monk, ect) will be implemented before or after 2.0, but everyone is looking forward to that. There apparently is also Magitech Armor from FFIII/VI on the way.

It is also full of puns and word play. On of the the Blacksmith quests that has you making saws or axe heads was called "Get to the Chopper", and the new Ifrit fight is called "Ifrit bleeds, we Can Kill It".

There is still a good amount of work to do before 2.0 as there is still a bit of UI lag, and a glitch here and there, but overall it is very playable, and if one is so inclined can be fun. It is also nice to play a FF game that is more grounded in the Fantasy side and less of the Sci-fi elements.




*The CGI videos are done as well as any of the CGI that SE has done over the last few years and is very good, though I think the SWTOR CGI nudges it a bit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426196/3846684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426196/3846684.page GMT
I'm surprised not to see an active one, but none the less, who else is looking forward to this game? I certainly am, I played Tribes: Vengeance (which is meant to be the worst of the originals) and absolutely loved it. The skiing mechanic mixed with the jet packs, and the selection of armour and totally original and unique weapons really piqued my interest early. I personally thought the campaign of Vengeance was fantastic also, especially for a game that is old, but yet has aged well.

I'm more baffled that Tribes: Ascend is FTP...and a part of me wishes it wasn't, as paid games usually get a lot better support than free ones. I at least hope theres some sort of microtransaction based system, maybe for cooler looking armour?

As far as I can tell, the vehicles and melee combat mechanics have also made it back into the game, as well as light, medium, and heavy armour.

Anyway, what are other peoples thoughts on this game?

I think the setting could work well for a RPG, MMO, FPS, or a RTS in a vein of Total War (just in space OFC). Sadly, there isn't enough of a potential market for this to ever occur. At best, it has 1/10 the fan base of Stargate which is nothing in comparison to the hordes of Trekkies (or Trekkers if you prefer) and Star Wars fans.

Something set in the Space: Above and Beyond world would be cool as well, but one season wonders from the 90s are practically ancient history by now.
