Hmm, well I dont really know what to say to that, except that the way abe say things is the way all the other muds say things. So we can only assume that the way he says it is right. But then again, you say tom a tow, I say tom ah tow, its just a matter of how you feel comfortable saying it.

Oddipus:

Do you want the HTML that lets you have a picture link (so that we can click on your signiture to get taken to your website)? If you do, download the text file and copy the contents into your signiture. (remove all existing text from your signiture beforehand)

Hope that makes your signiture jazzier for you. Mine doesn't work because its from Mp3.coms protected servers that doesn't allow remote use (which is a pain). I might set up a free webpage just to host my signiture so I can have it in my posts.

Reese

and yes hobo is right... don't dubble or triple post, only use the edit button please

Oddipus 05-06-2003 04:59 PM

Thanx Reese,

I wanted to do that someday, but didn't know how and forgot about it. Nifty!

FeeCoFreak 05-06-2003 10:12 PM

Cool map...

FeeCoFreak

Reese Charles 05-06-2003 10:29 PM

Hello again

Oddipus: Thats no problem at all, if EVER need any more HTML help at all, I would be more than happy to help!

As for the map, thanks loads, I have always wondered how my game would fit in.

Sorry all about the multiple posts, it wasn't intentional, I just didn't think of using the edit button at the time...

Reese

PS: Visit my thread on "If you could make an Oddworld game how would you make it?" - I will be posting game ambience and some FMV soundtracks up there for your listening :)

Oddsville 05-06-2003 10:34 PM

Dang Xav beat me to the map question! I had the url all ready for Reese and then......BAM!
Ah well, great job Xav! They don't call ya the Oddworld Photo Album for nothing.:fuzwink:

Reese Charles 05-06-2003 10:39 PM

Hmm, funny you should mention photo album. I have a directory of game screens from every single place in AE and AO. Its more of an archive actually, but its all filed in order and everything (I am good at that).

So if anyone wants screenshots of anywhere in the game then I am your man, but it has to be pointed out that this should be done in the picture request thread, I think this thread has had all the pictures it can handle.

Thanks.

Reese

Xavier 05-07-2003 02:03 PM

reese... sounds nice I'm actually not that good for ScreenShots (except official ones)
anyway you are Canadian? Do you speak french or only english?

Dipstikk 05-07-2003 06:28 PM

Newscaster is a Slig, and he is a worker class creature.
Do you remember the News Bulleton about Director Phleg he did? After Phleg pretty much finished "belting out" his speech, NC said something like "Blah blah blah."

Now, I've taken into consideration that Industrialists don't exactly cotten to Freedom of Speech. Am I right? So shouldn't NC be punished for mocking at least one of the three (as far as we know, there could have been more than three) Glukkons?

I just wanted to start this thread back up to what it was innitially intended to be: A question and answer thread.

Oh, and Reese: good luck with the game. And may Odd be with you.

TheKhanzumer 05-08-2003 12:04 AM

thanx Dipstikk
 
Although the glukkons don't encourage freedom of speech, they do enjoy making a profit. The Newscaster slig is a celebrity and so he is entitled to saying things normal sligs wouldn't. The better the ratings, the more moolah the glukkons make. Does that make since? Besides, he is probably reading a teleprompt written by a glukkon, and we know glukkons don't all get along perfectly well.

Sekto Springs 05-08-2003 12:09 AM

hi everybody i'm new to da forums my names sligslinger. dont bother goin to my webpage it aint up yet:fuzsmile: . like my avatar? i found a prod. pic of a khanzumer!!!!!:fuzgrin:

There is no slig in the top right corner of that picture, there is one in the top left however, that is recieving an electric shock from god knows what...

This is relating to an old post by M.O.M on page 1.

Reese

PS: Alcar how can you tell that the slig is being shocked by a shrykull?

Dipstikk 05-08-2003 10:48 PM



Who is that Mudokon above Abe's knee, and to the right of that Wheelchair guy? The one painted like a Skeleton.

Does he have a name? Hee looks to me like some kind of funeral minister, or just a Goth.

Reese Charles 05-09-2003 04:08 AM

He is probably a witchdoctor or shamen, those two are types of mudoken we will see in the next game I beleive.

Reese

PS: A goth? Have you ever seen a goth? The gluks are more like Goths...

EDIT: Which ones Alf? The one holding the baby meetle?

Alcar 05-09-2003 05:57 AM

The Mudokon in question is actually named a Poser :)

Alcar...

Xavier 05-09-2003 03:50 PM

the mudokon in the weelchair was originally used in the "healt status" design

Dipstikk 05-09-2003 06:35 PM

No, the one between the Wheelchair guy and the Poser.

Xavier 05-09-2003 06:40 PM

just call him old-concept-that-was-not-used-guy :fuzwink:
well no sorry I don't know about that one

Dipstikk 05-09-2003 07:11 PM

How about "NecroMud?"

You know, like "Necromancer?"

sorry but I'm an addept of the Official... and I would never use some name or idea I know someone made up

Sekto Springs 05-09-2003 10:22 PM

xav, ur site link dont work:fuzmad:

Xavier 05-10-2003 08:10 AM

sorry alcar but this is a poser...
http://www.oddworld-fr.com/banque_images/0226.jpg

and he absolutly don't looks like a goth (I know I'm one)

anyway, sligslinger, wich link don't work?

Reese Charles 05-10-2003 09:00 AM

Cool, your a goth? I am an Alienist (which is basicly the same thing only us guys look more like aliens than vampires :))
I think the only problem with our type of lifestyle is the way that society ignorantly points its finger and laughs. Of course, its a punishable offense to not fit in isnt it?

Anyway, back on topic: Are there game maps of all of Oddworlds paths in AO and AE? Not like the ones that you make abe put his hand on to look at, but more like screenshots joined together to show each screen of that path...

If you understood that your a genius! :D

Ah, my bad. But that other one is deffinately a Big Kahonee, as it has more ponytail feathers and markings.

I guess that other one must be a Skull-Mudokon :D Kidding...

Anyway, and updated picture:



Alcar...

Hobo 05-10-2003 09:43 AM

Maybe it's nothing. Just a mud with weird paint on because it's oddworld after all.

Reese Charles 05-10-2003 09:52 AM

I still think its a witchdoctor or something...

I tried once to make one of the Stokyards with screens I took with my PC but the screens doesn't fit good with each others so it didn't look good and I abondened the project



Alcar, I agree with you for the other, it is definatly a big kahonee

:fuzsmile: I tried the exact same thing, and the exact same problem arose, so like you I just dumped it.

Alcar...

Reese Charles 05-10-2003 10:05 AM

The problem is, in the first two games, the screens arent transitions from one place to the other: In other words, Abe doesnt walk off one screen onto the other, he walks quite a distance from one to the other, so quite often it will look like he is in a completely different place. Abe walks from the one challenge to the other, but you don't get to see the bit in between, and that is supposed to save on boring bits, but I just think it makes it seem a bit unrealistic.

Well, since nobody else has done it, I might aswell. I will post it in the picture request like a good little OWF Fan Game Expert :p.

Reese

Xavier 05-10-2003 10:37 AM

well good luck... I hope it will be good

Then I will name him Nac. I want to feature him in the comic, regardless. I like hime, I've practiced drawing him, and I've given him a good part.

So there. PPTTHHP!:p

Sekto Springs 05-15-2003 06:53 PM

that's obviously some kinda doctor or funeral guy or mourner or something dark:fuzblink:
