    Thanks does that also come with a Golden Stapler so I can Staple your mouth shut? Also I was just asking if he/she could
    split the mod up so I don't have to use the Content I dislike, You didn't have to be so cruel but then again its the internet and I
    replied with something just as bad so...

    Yeah I found out the Midas one had another download but thank you for Meteorology. Your a help Unlike Essence.

    General Comment:
    I do see that FaxCelestis and Essence are Gods on these Forums and Im not trying to Upset them but I am defending my self, I'm not going to let them kick me while i'm down cause everyone has Soooo much respect for them. But if I came off as Rude FaxCelestis I am sorry I did not want to come off as Rude I was just making an Idle comment without thinking about how hard you worked on this, I have as well made mods for games and I understand how hard and tedious it can be so for any hard feelings Hopefully you can Accept my Apology.

    Note: This Apology does not Extend to Essence I was greeted with much Disrespect and I do not want to forgive Essence.

    Before others comment on this, Essence was just defending Fax. They have mutual respect for one another and you should not take it personally. Your comments did strike me as rude, but I figured you were not thinking of how it would be perceived,

    Essence did not call you names. He made a joke. Rude perhaps, but I can understand the feeling behind it. Relax. This will blow over in a day or two and no-one will remember it. Enjoy the mods.

    ~sigh~

    Before you start to read it, JadestoneX, I want you to know that I really have nothing against you, and I just like writing a lot. Whether you stay with us or decide to go away, I'll try not to be an arse, so just take your time to read the below wall of text and try to understand it.


    I know that you feel uncomfortable when everyone is jumping on you from the very beginning, but there is a reason for that, and a very simple one at that.
    You see, you came into this thread with no knowledge of how mods are made whatsoever (I can tell, because if you knew that , you would've removed the "offending" parts of the mod yourself), and asked Fax to split his mod into miniscule parts, which requires a lot of work to do because of cross-dependencies and stuff like that. And you got your answer that no, such a thing is not possible, because it requires a lot of work.

    What was your response then? You started listing what you want gone with no real explanation as to why you want it gone, even though you got a negative response. And no, "I dislike the concept" or "I dislike the sprite" is not a good enough reason for someone to have to do a lot of additional (and not really necessary) work, and that is because you are asking someone to spend a lot of his free time just for you, and thus explaining why *exactly* is it that you don't like it is the absolute minimum of courtesy that you could've shown there. Especially if we factor in the fact that some of the things you wanted removed don't really need to be removed - if you don't like Dragon Aspirant skill set, then just don't choose these skills, it's as simple as that.

    And upon receiving another response that no, it really isn't possible to get it chopped into smaller parts for you because yes, it does require a large amount of work, what was it that you did? You posted another message, this time listing things that you want to have in the alleged mod chop. That is annoying and obnoxious, because it's as if you were trying to extort it from Fax. Which is precisely why Essence posted what he did - because of your persistence in asking for something without giving a reason when you were being told to stop and given a reason why you should do so, you were rude, regardless of whether that was your intention or not.

    That is akin to going to the shop and yelling at the cashier because of something you did, because "the customer is always right". Nobody likes people like that, and as someone who actually works as a cashier I can tell you that it's the worst possible attitude to take if it's the first time somewhere, regardless of whether it's a shop or an internet forum. Had you been a member of this forum for a little longer, they'd have probably just let this slide once. Had you explained your reasoning instead of just being persistent in asking for something that required a lot of work from our side, they'd have been nicer in explaining it to you.


    That being said, one advice for you for the future. If you expect someone to do something for you, show them courtesy and understanding, because you are just asking them to sell you their time for free. And nobody gives free gifts to people they don't like. If you are denied, just try to get them to like you a little more and ask again after some time, explaining why you want it to be done. And even if you get denied then, you might be given advice how to do it on your own instead, because people tend to try being helpful towards people who are nice to them.


    Also, neither Fax nor Essence are "gods" there - they are just people who have experience with creating mods for DoD because they created mods for DoD, and people respect them for that, and for the fact that they are nice and helpful. The problem lies in persistence, and in the fact that as people who know what we are doing, we (not just Fax and Essence, but "we", modders in general) tend to get annoyed when someone with no knowledge of modding whatsoever comes and behaves as if we had to listen to him because he knew better. It's normal and it applies to every kind of job - if you know what you are doing and have to deal with someone who persistently asks you to waste your time without appearing to listen to your words, it's natural to get irritated.

    Also, to add to what was said above, Jade, you don't seem like a bad person, and I just want to share some advice from a long dead man. "You can do more with a kind word and a gun, than just a kind word." Al Capone
    I'm not suggesting you point guns at people, just that you start using kind words like please. IT will smooth over all the rough waters.

    And it also will cancel the assassination contract with the Dark Brotherhood that is on you. :)
    I like being friends with them.

    Ooooh, oh. Can I play the constructive criticism game? I have a lot to say about the sprites. (Not the tacows and tacos, those are really good, but there's a few that bother me.)
     
  7. Kazeto

    Kazeto Member

    Actually, he did use the word "please" in one of his posts.
    So no contract on him for the brotherhood.

    I am personally thinking of having a life-size rendition of a tacow sculpted for me out of...hmmm...hardened nacho cheese?

    True, Kazeto. Also, If you don't mind requoting the actual post, instead of the glitched one, please do. I was just trying to edit it, and somehow screwed it up. :(

    The cocktails, the concoctions and the fruit.

    The cocktails look flat and uninteresting. They don't seem to have any shape, and being on an entirely profile view doesn't help. They look more like stickers than items. I suggest fiddling around with a different viewpoint and maybe outlines.

    The concoctions are even worse--they literally look like something that was drawn on paper and then cut out. It's not even a sticker, it doesn't look like it belongs. The problem here is not the viewpoint, though, it's entirely the way it's drawn. I suggest fiddling around with the pose (probably facing diagonally) and giving them a bit more depth.

    The fruit is fine for the most part, cept for the positioning and the detail. Simply put they look too detailed. Toning down the shades used for shading and fiddling with outlines again might help. Also, why are they at the bottom? It just makes them look awkward.

    I hope this didn't come out as rude.

    Are the infusions better than the concoctions?
     
  13. Megaron

    Megaron Member

    They are, because they have a different angle and the liquid looks defined, not to mention its shape is well defined. I'm going to fiddle with adding black outlines to some of the items though, and drop them in the dropbox to see what you think... If that's alright with you.

    While I had to agree that the cocktails aren't the very bestest sprite work ever, they are a hell of a lot better than I could do...and when I am using a mana-centered build, I am too busy tossing them back for all the awesomeness to even worry about it...I think outlines would look make them look pretty awesome, for the most part.

    But as for the fruits, I love me the fruits. The orange especially is super awesomely done...I love oranges...makes me want an orange every time I see one...LOL

    I'm thinking of getting Kazeto a traq gun for his birthday. Then he doesn't have to tell people to get more sleep. They'll just be wandering around with bags under their eyes and all of a sudden-

    *pfffft*

    And they're out like a light!

    I think we'll all feel more rested if this happens. Does anyone want to donate to the cause?

    I'll donate some of my narcolepsy...I sure as hell don't need all the sleep I get and wouldn't mind if someone took some of it off my hands.

    MOD EDIT: Temp Banned.

    EDIT: After reading more after people were very Accepting even though I now on a Personal Level hate Kazeto. I dont hate Essence i really did react of being very sensitive.

    EDIT: After all of this I have a Stomach Ache and a Bad case of Temporary Depression + Anger. Im not some one to make angry I do everything in my power to hurt you sadly I have nothing within my power as of current since its the internet as well as I woulden't like to the the Community website since this is where the best mods are churned out like the "Nexus" of DoD but more of a Minecraft Forum Format. Theres nothing I can do to Kazeto other than hope for his/her death or enlightenment.

    I do understand, When I make mods which I do for multiple games I might add since I enjoy everything Computer related and well cause of it I do not go out often causing my Social Awkwardness but the Difference between me and most people I want the people who use the Mod to be happy not to just Pick a select few as well as make the mod as perfect as possible and my Perfection "Fetish" I have is cause Im a Perfectionist, I have OCD and to give me the time to Perfect everything I do I am a Insomniac that's why I know C++ amongst others and still learning more. My point is, Who cares if its hard if theres a Outcome that will enrich the Modding Community, I did that for the Spore Community (I dug through the XML files for Hours and Decompiled the Executable as well to find anything of Use) and I wish Others would do the same for the Communities or Community to Reside in.

    I disliked simple things about them, "I dislike the Concept" would mean I would like it so there was ATLEAST a tutorial for people who have not Dabbled or even LOOKED at the code to remove the features. When I say "I dislike the sprite" im saying lightly the Sprite is not up to games Redo the Sprite and if you cannot remove said item until you can do so. For the next thing, Refer to the Previous.
    The Dragon Aspirant Skill, Well I dislike the Concept, Yes I said that in it but let me Finish; I have OCD every time I would see it on the List it would make me Writhe in Psychological Pain, I want all mods I use to feel like they were supposed to be apart of the game and not throw me and Unimmerse me; In short if it doesnt fit I cant have it in my game its the Obsessive Compulsive Perfectionist in me as well as when ever I get 2 mods that at 1 item with the same name or anything for ANY game i must mod it and change its name or Remove it and rework the mods to work together if it was dependant on it which most mods are. It is NOT as simple as not choosing them.


    I make lists all the time its who I am, I have a good 16gb of Text Files of Ideas/Changes to Mods/Tweaks/Fixes and All around anything you can think of probably more than 16gb I havent checked in a Year or Two as well Im only counting Files on my C:\ not my D/F/H/I or J:\ Drives of which 3 of them are Full. As well please do not call me Annoying and Obnoxious if anything your Obnoxious for posting this large wall of text but then again I too as well may be Annoying and Obnoxious for Responding.

    I was just pointing out flaws, 9 times out of 10 my voices gets drowned out by other posts I wasen't expecting any action and Again Refer to one of my Previous Comments its about the players who are SERIOUS not ok im going to have 8 things named Rubber 3 Pronged Nob. My Fallout Game is 3 Things
    Code:
    1) To Lore (No Lore Breaking Mods)
    2) Not Broken (No Game Breaking Mods)
    3) No Duplicates and Any Duplicates have been Rectified by Me
    If you want to play with your game having loads of duplicates not knowing whether or not something is what it says it is as well as having Content you 100% disagree with having in your game then your very odd your a very very odd person. You need to figure out how screwed your brain is to beable to bare with the problems what you suggested in your previous post as well as insinuate in this one and Yes you yell at the Cashier since they are the one Presenting you with said Garbage.

    1) I was not expecting anything.
    2) I was not denied I was replied to.
    3) I was trying to be nice I was just Commenting in MONOTONE.

    I know how to mod dont assume you know any knowledge about me before you speak. You dont know who I am, For all you know I could be a Sado-Masochistic Pedophile Gnawing a Childs disembodied leg as a Midnight Snack with chains attached to my nipples that all you know. I do not infact know how to mod this but If I learned anything from modding other games and making concept games nothing is easy but is very rewarding in the end and if its not keep working it will be eventually. SO SHUT YOUR FACE.

    Note: I couldent take this annoyance and longer so I put slander within, Sorry for any offense to the mod author but it had to be done maybe reflect on what I said and see that not everything you create cantor to everyones likes and possibley as I originally tried to politely ask to Add said features.

    @jadestoneX
    Goodbye. I predict your account will be banned in the next day. If not, I predict half the forum will set you to be ignored. You hope for the death of someone here? You wish there was something more that you could do to exert your feeble will on them? You are not even articulate or capable of properly insulting others. If I resorted to your tactics, I would tell you to "Die in a fire slowly."
    *Edit* Here. Take another look.
    http://community.gaslampgames.com/help/terms

    Can we return to the topic now? If you want to discuss making another mod with just the parts you like and editing or remaking the images, you can make a thread for that. I and others will be glad to help.

    I feel compelled to ask if you are alright? Have you potentially forgotten medicines that effect your mood? (Not an insult. I and others here take psychoactive substances to combat mood disorders.)
