I don't want to think about how long it's been since I signed in here... lol. Good to see this board is still getting some use... and frankly, that it still works. How are things on the DA front?

General Discussion / RPG Toolkit 3.1.0 released

« on: October 01, 2007, 12:00:03 pm »

Octember has finally arrived. In case you missed it yesterday, TK 3.1.0 has finally been released after being in development for over a year. This is easily the greatest release since 3.0, and brings changes that were at one time only dreamed about, such as Vector Collision. The engine has also been completely re-written in C++, which should allow a dramatic in speed of both the engine itself, and aid programmers in releasing even greater improvements in the future. Make sure you check the official release out at The ToolkitZone.

General Discussion / Toolkit Zone Offline

« on: June 26, 2007, 05:35:28 am »

As you probably already know, TKZ has been taken offline by the hosts due to some sort of bug in either ther servers, or TKZ's coding, and it's possible that TKZ may have to change hosts before coming back online, though I know Xavier is doing everything he can to avoid that situation. For now, this will become the main place for TKZ discussion. Xavier will put a link on the error page routing people here so they can keep up with the status of the site, as well as continue discussion as they normally would at TKZ. Please be patient until Xavier can bring the site back online. Thank you.

I was kind of expecting a small surge of activity here what with TKZ down. Guess they all went to the OTR. Anyone temporarily getting their forum fix here?

Well, I'm 2 days late, but Mystic Software turned 6 years old on February 17th. A big thank you to all those that still spend time here. As long as you continue to come, I promise that Mystic Software will continue to stay online.

That's got to suck being born so close to Christmas.

Anyways, a late Merry Christmas, and early (or right on time) Happy New Year.

Doesn't neccesarily have to be your favorite movie, just list a handful of movies you like watching, and what they're about.

<hr>
Braveheart: The story of William Wallace, albeit changed slightly, as Vampz will be sure to point out. The movie itself kicks ass if your into lots of epic medieval-style battles. The story is excellent as well, and tells of how William Wallace grew up to help unite the country of Scotland, and put it on a direct path to freedom from England and it's King Edward I, (aka Edward the Longshanks).

The Boondock Saints: This film tells the fictional story of Connor and Murphy McManus, two Irish brothers from South Boston that get thrown into an extra-ordiary situation when the Russian Mafia tries to take over their neighborhood. The brothers have a dream one night while sleeping in a jail cell after taking down a couple of the mafia members in self-defense. The dream basically tells them that they have a calling from God to take down not only the Russian mafia, but any criminals that reside in South Boston. This movie has a ton of swearing, violence, and a brief shot of a womans breast, and is definate R rated movie, so make sure your parents are cool with you watching it before you pop in the DVD Wink ....or just make sure they're not home Razz .

Seven: Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are two damn good actors, and they show it in this movie (and just about every other movie they're in, together or not). Seven is about a serial killer (Kevin Spacey, also a damn good actor) who chooses his victims according to the Seven deadly sins (Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth). Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are detectives, and are attempting to find the killer, even though at times, he's right there with them.

Anyone that's seen some of the latest games that have come out for the TK have probably been pretty damn amazed at some of the stuff people have accomplished in the last year. Games like DA2, Heraldry:Freija, and TK Land look simply amazing.

RDemusX's game "Mansions of the Moon" was released just this week, and even though it's a mere 2 boards, with absolutely nothing to do on them, it's a must to download regardless. After installing MotM, and getting past the title screen, just the first board alone caught my attention. The board loaded up, and right off the bat the character was in an idle animation. Unfortunately right now the idle animation in MotM only works if your facing south, but I'm sure RDemus will change that in the future. It'd also be nice if the animation wasn't the character walking in place, but would be better if the character was looking around or something. Anyways, that aside, once I started walking around, I was blown away. I could not tell this was the Toolkit other than the fact that I had already known.  The graphics are absolutely amazing. The use of TK3's canvas system is noticable right off the bat when you walk under the trees, and the best part was, not even 1% of slowdown. Granted, my computer's not the slowest computer in the world, but it's by no means the fastest either. It was reportedly getting ~93fps average, and held there without barely moving a fraction of a percent. The menu system is also extremely well done, and unlike any menu system I've ever seen in a TK game.

Anyways, I seriously recommend checking this game out, even if you don't normally play TK games. It's incredibly short, since there are only two boards, but just fun to see how far the TK has come since we used 2.x

Something's gone wrong with the server, causing FTP and Email accounts to be inaccesible, among other things. . I've already contacted RackHost, and hopefully we'll get things fixed soon.

I'll be in Washington state for a little over a week, starting Friday the 11th, and through Sunday the 20th. I probably won't be online much between now and then. Hopefully I'll be snowboarding instead Razz
