*DAMN R6 Forum

I need people to test multiplayer with my mod- view all uniforms, make sure all the camoflauges loaded and the loading screens all work- now, the mod may not be totally finished, but this is like a beta (credits and maybe some misc. things wont be in it though- dont worry though  ;)).

I know already some people want to test the mod, but I (now) also need some people to test the multiplayer part of the mod first- your names will be in the credits.

Anyone who will test EVERY uniform I have in multiplayer, just ask- then I will PM you the link to download- dont give anyone else the link.

Hope people are interested- thanks!
(by the way, something came up with my friend, and I can't test multiplayer with him  :().

Rigid, I would love too give it a whack.   :P

Ok- I need at least one more person. The both of you, I guess, could establish some time to play or something- you could always play with me, but I lag badly now- I go twice as slow becuase AOL  >:( Still have to put up the download and test it- I'll get back with you.

In the meantime, anyone else?

yep me :-)

btw I'm having a little LAN party on wednesday. i could do some testing there if you want.

OK great! I'll put up the mod now- if you 2 want, I guess you can beta test it too. Some things (like the credits and a couple of other minor things won't be included, but, dont worry  ;)). It's only a 9 meg download (uncompressed, about 23 megs).

I e-mail you the links when its done uploading.  ;D

Ok, need this done before Wednesday so it can be ready for Raven's LAN party  ;D

Anyone know of a web hosting service where I can upload less than 10 megs so these guys can download the beta? I plan on letting my friend host me for a while, so until then, I need to find a free webhosting service. Any ideas?

If you can't find space, get AIM, send it to me, then i can just give it out to anyone else who needs it through AIM share. if you can't find a better place for it, that is.

Do I need AIM- where do I get it  ???. Could I just e-mail my mod to you?

Still waiting for a responce from *another* friend- for webspace.

Uh, Bronto?

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I've been finished with this mod since the end of July- I just want to test multiplayer and get the other stuff from Bronto, why the long wait?   ??? ;D

whaaaaaaaat! i thought you were still working on it! www.aim.com my hotmail is dumb

AHHH!! He's back!


I have AOL instant messenger already- I have AOL,  :D

But, I can't send a download through Instant Messenger. And I can't send it through your e-mail??

*able to contact friend about hosting, now waiting for responce

you can try, but it might not accept it.

well, my friend has 6 gigs of space, and is gonna let me have some, so, I guess now I could put up the download. Get back with you soon, or tommorrow since its late where I'm at (tommorrow meaning about another 10 hours or so)

I've already uploaded my mod and now I'm downloading to make sure it uploaded right  ;D

I'll e-mail the links to the multiplayer and beta testers- some things aren't completely done yet, but don't worry- nothing big.

By the way, the link I'll give you to download the file is not my website, LOL- I just made it real fast so you can simply download it (its only beta)

I'll get back with ya with the download is finished, about another 50 minutes

Ok, mod uploaded right

I'm going to e-mail the link now...

SP works well, i mailed you a few zipped up BMPs, didnt convert them to rsb, sry. theyre the credits screens and loading thing. i still cant do this spinner, its driving me insane. ill skins though.

Don't worry, I can convert the BMP's.

don't let that loading thing drive you insane either  ;)

I have to touch up the custom mission screen, and the credit screens look awesome (besides that one)  ;D

Rigid would you like to work on a mod with me and a friend??
We need a skinner and you just make realy good skins.
The mods going to be for Raven Shield.

I would love to make Raven Shield skins!- Only thing is, I gotta get Raven Shield, LOL. How soon would I need to get it, maybe I'll buy it tommorrow  ;D

Anyways, I would be delighted to help make a mod

Raven, Im delighted to see your going into RVS. Keep us posted my friend. I know Picc did some skins a while back (cough, cough, Whisper) so its possible to get started right away.

Any beta testers can post some screenshots if they wish too. Bronto gave me a couple credit screens and I started playing around with some cool text. Let me know what you think of it so far:

Thanx Mac!!!

Great!! Rigid where going to get started whenever everyones ready. So take your time :-)
We've got quite a few ideas gotta think if we can make them work. Have you got ICQ or MSN. I'd tell you more about it and introduce you to the our programmer if you realy want to work with us.

If anyone here has any good ideas please post them :-)

PS. I like the credits screen. But the white of the writing doesnt quite fit to the background  ;)

Rigid -Killer Ass job on the skins. GG man. Like the others, didnt find to many flaws, or bugs.  The credits are good, i took several SS's of the skins with some of the weapon models i did from the past, you could prob use one as one of your credit shots ;). I'll email it if ya want me too.    Keep up the work m8 8)

I have AOL instant messenger if thats what you mean by ICQ or MSN- my name is "R22cool34" but (of course) without the quotes. I am really interested in modding RVS- I was going to get into it after I finsished my Total Conversion for UO (hehe, can't say much more), but I guess I'll have to get RVS early- I don't want to keep you guys waiting!

Any idea's for the text? I didn't really like the text myself, but I didn't really know what to do to fix it.


toymachine, Bronto is doing some credit screens for me, but, I would be delighted to see your credit screens- I'll take the best between toymachine and bronto  ;D

Now, don't forget to test multiplayer now  ;)

No ICQ and MSN are different programms...

Anyway If your using PSP to make that image, why dont you use some transparency and also wind. that makes some cool effects.

Or try making the text glow and then change the color...
 ;)

I tied using the wind effect, but I couldn't find it in Photoshop 7.0  :o LOL- I know where it is in the Business Edition, but if I'm correct, it only works on pictures, not text- I could be wrong? Anyone help me out?











*NOTE: School has now commenced the "kill the children with homework" policy so I'm getting quite busy-

filter > stylize > wind   :)     But that only creates light of dark, not that great. Im PS guru. O Sh!t, the SS credit, ill mail now.  ::)

Thanks toymachine for the PP help.

Now, to the 4 beta testers, DON'T FORGET TO TEST MULTIPLAYER!  ;D

Well, I might have to PM some people.  ;D

Uh, Raven, it sounded like you were going to test multiplayer- I don't want to rush things, but do you know when you're going to get around to that?

Anyone else wanna test MP?

I don't want this to sound annoying, but, Raven2367, haven't seen you in a while, (might be a vaction, LOL- I dunno)- but, I would appreciate it if you could test MP so I could finally release my mod.

Toymachine and Bronto, you can go ahead and test MP, but I haven't heard from Toymachine in a while.

*NADS Foxy was suppose to be a beta tester, but I haven't heard from them in a month, so if anyone else would like to become a beta tester, just ask.

I have no idea what other people's schedules are like, but I didn't think testing multiplayer and getting some screenshots for credits would take 21 days (so far)

Once again, I don't want to anger anyone here, I just want to kick it into high gear  ;)

me and toy were going to test it but he was on a 56k, we both couldnt host, and there was a hurricane destroying his town (brushed mine).

Whoops, sorry, didn't know.

Well, thanks for trying- guess its up to Raven  ;D (unless someone else wants to test MP)

Sorry guys...
My modem bust and i wont have internet 4 ages... sorry to let you down :-(

I've got a pretty good connection. We could do some testing on mine. I also have a new MP script I'd like to play with. ;D I just work all day, I'm home after 9pm Pacific. Pm me. ;)

Ok, sent a PM.

Hmm... whats this MP script?  8)

Oh, and don't worry Raven, I'll just try to find someone else  ;)

ya, me and bronto tried, and @ time my dsl server was down due to hurricane, but didnt matter anyways, i have small issue byhand with UO and hosting.  And same with bronto; seems that we all have the connection, just no one to host.  8)  ::)

Well, X69RZX thought the mod was for something else, so, does that mean I have no MP testers??

Can someone please test Multiplayer? I really want to make sure it works right

Ok, i've decided to go ahead and finish the credits and other stuff myself. If nobody is going to test MP, I'll just put the mod up the way it is, and make a patch later if I have to, or if somebody could tell me what files to put where, etc.

But here's one credit screen, let me know what you think:

http://members.aol.com:/R22cool34/credit.jpg (http://members.aol.com:/R22cool34/credit.jpg)

it looks awesome rigid, i didn't do a very good job of it  :o. good work. will the mod be released soon?

LOL thanks Bronto,

Well, I'm gonna just finish up the credits and make the spinny logo. Then I'm going to pray that multiplayer works all right, or else I'll have to make a patch  :o, lol.

Then, I'll release the mod, along with the website. As of right now, all I have to do it make 10 more credit screens and the spinny logo :D

i had much trouble with the spinner, some of the pink for transparency would be left on the edges, and it was ugly.

I know what you are talking about- I encountered this same problem a long time ago:

I noticed that if you are using Adobe Photoshop, or some other image program, if you resize an image, colors are automatically "slightly altered" (they blend to make the image look better overall). However, in doing so, the pink would blend with the other colors, not making an exact pink color, therefore not transparent.

I bet if you zoom in on the image and look at each pixel, the pink next to the actual image and the pink of the extremedies of the canvas are slightly different shades of pink.

To fix this, after I would get done resizing (more things beside resizing may cause this), I would not click outside of the selected image- if I did, the image would automatically blend. So, after resizing, I go straight to save- the image may look a bit blocky if you resize it too much, but its much better than having the pink outline, as we all know  ;)

Well, gotta get to those credits...

Ok, for the credits, I need to make sure I didn't leave anyone or anything out- if I did, let me know!

The basic layout for the credits will be something like "Beta tester", "Miscellaneous", and then me personally thanking that person for something.

So far I've got:

Beta tester: *NADS Bronto
Misc.: Designed main menu and submenu background screens.
"Thanks for everything!"

Beta tester: Raven2367
Misc.: What should go here?
"Thanks for inviting me onto your modding team!"

Beta tester: Toymachine
Misc.: What should go here?
"Thanks for beta testing!"


-and then all the rest of the credits I can do. The above people should fill me in on what I should do or change. I'm not completely happy with some of them (since they're not complete), so just let me know.
I think Raven lost his internet, and I was going to put in the Misc. category, "reviewed my mod" but I don't know if he really is able to. And if his internet is out, i don't think he'll even get this message, so I hope he'll be happy with what I put  ;)

Anyways, just let me know what I should put.
