Can you guys make a theft topic so this is not dominated by such discussion?

You are true to your name.

Does this go in
/collab/,
/media/,
or /g/?

sorry, is this in the wrong section?

Sorry, double post, but Avi actually is my first name x3. Call me Shim ^_^

BUT FIRST LET ME SET A FEW RULES,
IT'S OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THE PET THAT I GET-- oh yeah we're not doing that episode yet

So excited I got a part, even if it's not one from my initial auditions. =P

By the way, Sammy, I absolutely don't want to sound rude at all, but make sure to include the first H in spelling "Avohkah" if you're, say, writing it out on credits for the project or an EqD submission. Understandable typo that I've seen countless times elsewhere, but it still irks me to some degree. =P

>>38485
Oh, my bad D:

I also feel bad for "Hamishelub" which I spelled "Hamishelhub"

I think I found where your "h" went :P It won't happen again.

>>38484
Alright, then!

Singing voices were chosen in conjunction with the voice. I don't know in this specific case (because I didn't select the voice) but she (my friend) chose the speaking voice first. So there may well have been a better singing voice, but it didn't match the speaking voice, so it couldn't be used.…

Hi everypony,

I know this hasn't had any replies or comments yet, but I'd like to try and keep it updated with any Blog posts or updates if that's okay?

(Blog here: http://mlp-fim-rpg.tumblr.com/)

I'm mostly working on this project at the weekend and as I'm writing all the content myself it's a fairly slow process. However I have just updated the blog with a preview of the "Female Earth Pony" character sheet. :)

Hopefully more this weekend!

~Dice

Hiya! I'm really liking the sound of this!
If I think of any cutie mark ideas I'll be sure to post them.

>>38305
I've played some D&D, but I'm more of a Warhammer guy.
However, this is an outstanding thing you're doing :D
You get my follow on Tumblr!

Alan Wake and ponies HAS happened though.

Is there really no way of hosting this on a website, and just clicking play, instead of downloading the whole file?

None the less it's still a pretty good shooter game.

>>38451
Well, on Falloutwiki.com you can find all the information about the original Fallouts system and rules for stats and such. All the formula's are on there.

My gripes with the Action Point system was that it was directly tied to your Agility stat. For instance, if you had an Agility of 8 - you get 8 AP to spend each turn. However, the default number is 5 and most weaponry takes at least 5 AP to shoot normally (let alone aimed/burst modes).

Meaning if you want to play as a slow character who's good with guns - oh wait you can't because you need more than 4 Agility to be able to shoot one.

Your skills do nothing about this. If you're good with small guns, for instance, it only ups your accuracy and damage (which is still within a certain range depending on the weapon).

The amount of action points can be dependant on your agility, but the amount of action points a certain weapon should take should depend on the amount of skill you have with that weapon.

Speaking of skills - a lot of the skills in Fallout 1 & 2 were... well, they were useless. They were a bit more balanced in 2 but not by much. the "Gambling" skill is the worst of them all, there's only two places to gamble in the first Fallout and even then, it's still just gambling... What's the point? Lockpick with infinite tries was also pretty busted although in Fallout 2 there was the possibility that you'd break the lock if you had low skill.…

Oh my, that is true.
On the opposite, with the good trait, perks, 10 agility and a turbo-plasma rifle you could fire five time a turn. The fights pretty much stop being challenging once you reached that point.

About the skills, it's funny because I just thought about the gambling and speech skills.
I think the gambling skill shouldn't disappear but become useful : it should help the player in the casino, but also in the dialogue. It is one think to now how to speak and persuade, it is another to know how to bluff. I think the gambling skill should be used in dialogues as well.

As for useless skills, I can think of outdoorsman (though it could be quite useful, if you wanted to finish the game quickly).
Also, similar skills could merge : doctor/first aid could just be doctor, unarmed and melee weapons could just become melee.
We will introduce probably only introduce the spellcasting skill. For everything else, I'll make sure every skill CAN change the experience of the game perceptibly (then again, what they will actually do will depend on the NPC and quest we'll introduce once the engine is done).

And finally, for the skill points... well, the hybrid system idea pleases me. I think we'll go for that.

That's kinda like how (I think) Fallout: BoS seperated Speech into Persuasion and Deception, to make it more D&D-esque.
Also, reminds me of how New Vegas can use multiple skills to pass checks in dialogue. If you need to convince somepony you're good with explosions, you need 25 explosions skills.

First Aid/Doctor should just be Doctor (or Medicine like in 3), I agree. But Unarmed and Melee should stay seperate: unarmed attacks would play a pretty big role for characters that know fighting styles. Xenith knows Falling Hoof Style, but that doesn't mean she can work with a sword or baton.

Outdoorsman could include stuff like brewing potions to make it more useful. Similiar to the Survival skill in New Vegas.

So, the server is online! The address is:

ponyroleplay.com

I really hope this takes off! I've been looking for a good place to role-play since I left some of the forums I used to do it at, and what makes this superior... is ponies (duh).

I'll try spreading the word on this, I really look forward to it!

I have now also integrated it into PunBB. Which means that each user now has a forum account. ( except those who signed up before. But they will get an email telling what to do next. )

>>38466
Also, as an addendum, I am more suited to doing Floor tiles and machinery than I am with doing actual ponies. I am getting better, but as you can see it isn't quite there yet.
The image is a sample of some of the things I have for some dynamic background elements I hope can be put in the game.
Above is a decent example of what I am best at.

One final thing, when I said Continually updated, this is what I meant by that: We will start with a few characters for the first release, then over time integrate more and more characters into the game.
I apologize, as I should have put this in the original post.
I do have an idea of what to do here, I just need some help with coding and getting to know game design. I can do plenty of art for this, creating Tilesets and the like, and music might not be an issue, but any help coding this thing and getting it off to a good start is why I made this thread.
Thank you in advance!

You know, he says there's a lack of feedback from the community, but how are we even supposed to give feedback when the thread for his derpymail 404ed ages ago?

Made a few more site improvements:

- Replaced the simple twitter feed with the official twitter widget, albeit with a change or two.

- Started work on a better background, spinny sunbeams aren't doing it for me anymore D:

- Fixed the logo covering up mail tools after you log into the webmail at www.derpymail.co.uk/mail

- Became more active on the twitter account ( www.twitter.com/derpymail )

- Made a DeviantArt account (because pony groups) derpymailuk.deviantart.com
…

Changes 17/05/2012 03:34pm :

- Made the logo on the mail page smaller + made it link back to the home page instead of itself.

- Added a nice new background (with artists permission - will add linkback tomorrow)

- Minor structural tweaks

>>38432
Yea I can do it, but it'll spew warnings at you because the certificate is provided by cPanel itself, not the hosting company. But it'll be the same port as it was before. Port 4(hundred and something)

I'm sorry. I didn't mean this to be an attack on the integrity of your website, and I didn't mean to offend you. And no I didn't see "remote" the first time I read this. If you want, we can continue this over e-mail before posting anything else in the thread. I still think anypony e-mail is a great service, and don't want to discourage anypony from using it.

In my experience, most people don't have WPA. Usually they simply don't know and either leave their router on default settings, or set a WEP password, although some don't use it because of technical limitations (e.g. a friend of mine uses a PSP, which only supports WEP). Even some quite a few people who should know better do not use WPA. In my apartment, the contracted ISP accept payment for building-wide wireless internet through their online ordering form, from behind a captive portal, which does not support SSL; you're literally submitting your credit card over plaintext wifi to order internet. Plus, those who have laptops are quite likely at some point to use a public wifi network that is not encrypted, regardless of what type of security they have at home. It's not difficult to sign up for anypony e-mail, or use ponychan, or even know one's way around the internet in general, without knowing certain types of technical information that are relevant here. The assumption that everypony who is savvy enough to know about anypony e-mail will also understand wireless internet security doesn't seem valid to me.

Finally, we are on VPS! It took a long time and there were a lot of hiccups and obstacles in the way but it's done. Thanks guys! I hope you enjoy using Anypony Email as much as I enjoy running it! Remember to report any issues you are having with this new server

>The assumption that everypony who is savvy enough to know about anypony e-mail will also understand wireless internet security doesn't seem valid to me
What I meant was that most would know if they have a wireless password, but it doesn't matter any more, I am waaayyyy to tired.

>Still, it adequately handles most passive network-level attacks
SSL is next on the list for what donation money goes towards, yes.

just need to say, but this now needs shining armor, candance, and chrysalis :D
NOW. if you don't mind...

>>38430
>NOW. if you don't mind...

Seriously?! That's quite demanding. I'm going to bite my tongue and just tell you that demands like that are not acceptable here as this is a free project that people do in their spare time.

Also this is the thread for non mlp:fim show characters and even if this had been posted in the correct thread, it would be just as unacceptable there as well.

>>38430

As /collab/ guidelines clearly says, "We are not your slaves."

If you want something so much, then do it all by yourself. If you suck at it, then practice and keep trying.
Only, and -only- after you have exhausted all other options, you can try using /collab/ as your final resort.

Can ye post a list, if possible, of all entries you've received, for confirmation for any paranoid submitters?

Ill record as soon as possible please dont go without me.

>>38316
How bout a stage of "Oh cool, I have time to work on the collab" *check e-mail* Nope, physics homework just added... repeat ad infinitum

>>38323
SOON. (not on a machine synced with my dropbox, and the school counts the dropbox website as network intensive)

>>38387
At the short end you have 15 days, though I'm thinking of keeping it open till after my graduation party on the 23rd of June.

very impressive sir.

What graphics libraries are you using?

I find the camera motion a little nauseating, though on closer inspection of some of my other favorite parallax-mapped games (Sonic and Tyrian), I think it might just be due to how "close" the background is to the foreground. I think if it moved less, I wouldn't be quite as

Anyway, it looks great! Very smooth, and definitely better graphics than the original ;) I'd love to see the source -- there's always something to be learned from it!

>>38423

Totally built from scratch. Only the java graphics class is used. All other coded by me (animations too, I'm not using the java.graphics implementation).

>>38426

Yes, the parallax scrolling is implemented "backwards" because I can't make it look good with the zooming.

The mail cluster I'm using for restoring accounts is undergoing a 2 week maintenance/migration and thus is very very slow.

I've bought premium API access to their new cluster, so I'll be able to put it in use when we leave the BETA on the 26th this month.

Here have a preview.

I saw cloudsdale a while ago, but I didn't sign up because I couldn't see anything written about what it was, not even in the meta tags. +1 for a bit more info on the home page.

>>38401

The new version is be running on backbone.js and full access to the necessary exploration features without having to sign up.

As for meta tags; it has full OPG support and soon to come oEmbed support for services like twitter.
