(/showthread.php?tid=5058)

Riots base is a mess, I know... - Matrix Dragon - 12-21-2008 I've spent all day rebuilding the Riot Force base. Putting the workshops together, rearranging the teleporter bay... for the record, the base editor fucking SUCKS... anyway, the workshop is rebuilt, the salvage racks have a lot of rare salvage, so feel free to grab some, I've added a supercollider and such. The teleporter bay is working, although it needs stairs. And at this point, as I've been booted off the server for some reason and can't reconnect, screw it, I'm taking a break. The power room and control room are a MESS, but we don't need to use them, and I'll fix them later. Good lord, I HATE that editor. - OpMegs - 12-21-2008 We need to hire a contractor. Does Atl have any Riot Force alts? :lol --- "Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay waste." - Matrix Dragon - 12-21-2008 Heh, he's got one base to give him nightmares. And yes, I know the salvage vault is hovering away from the wall. It didn't want to get any closer. I'm tempted to put something glowy next to it and say it's a dimensional portal - Logan Darklighter - 12-21-2008 I'm pretty sure I do have a couple of Riot Force alts. I'm also pretty sure I don't want to be full time editor for two bases. On the other hand if you want to give one of my alts editing privileges, I'd be happy to help out from time to time. - Drenivian - 12-21-2008 I can always ask Zilem Kain if he wants to work on it. He's done wonders with the Dojo of Immortal White Tigers and the Citadel of Eternal Damnation. ********************* In the epic rage of furious thunder legends create their tales when the twilight calls and the dark lord falls our glory will prevail - Shader - 12-21-2008 IF... -IF- you don't get anyone else... and I can find time between juggling the various toons I have... I'll do it, provided you don't mind that it might be a day or so between edits and I'll like a theme to work with. Shader - Matrix Dragon - 12-21-2008 Oh, I'm not recruiting a base designer. Just letting people know its a mess outside the medical, workshop and teleporter areas and I'll fix it tomorrow. Given that I pretty much pulled the old base apart and put it back together in a way that put everything in a better spot. As it was, we had workshops on opposite ends of the base. And while I was at it, I installed a Turbine Generator, and made a larger control room to handle everything, and I'll probably be putting in a smaller second teleport bay as well, and dear god it never ends... - Acyl - 12-21-2008 I... I'm probably risking an anime mallet to the head by saying this, but I think the base editor's pretty good, actually. No, no, hear me out. It's got a ton of odd quirks and weird glitches that need to be worked around, but the way I see it, a lot of that has to do with the fact there's actually a great deal of functionality in the engine. Honestly, you can do a lot with the thing. Really, it's a pity that most folks don't get to play around with it. There is a certain tension between functionality and visual design, though. -- Acyl - Matrix Dragon - 12-21-2008 *Pulls out the mallet and swings* The real problems actually came with the recent updates. Now that you can place anything anywhere, more of less, the editor gets a little grumpy. It occasionally fails to notice the floor is actually a spot higher then it's trying to place the item, or that the wall mounted object is a foot away from the wall... and this is the really odd one. With some items, I'd select, move the item out onto the map... and the editor would then decide that THAT SPOT RIGHT THERE was the only spot in the entire room that item can go. No matter what. Frustrating. - Acyl - 12-21-2008 Well let me put it this way - I like what the base editor lets you do, and I think the basic interface is fine. I agree, however, that it'd be much better if it didn't crash every so often due to the massive lag and load, tendency for accidental clicks and such forcing you to go back and fix stuff you'd already completed, and dear GOD I wish there were an 'undo' button...etc, etc, etc... =D -- Acyl - Wiregeek - 12-22-2008 Ops, hit me up with build privs on Lost - I won't design, but I'll be happy to execute instructions such as 'fix the damn stairs in the teleporter room before I go crazy' "No can brain today.
