Reply to Shogun II Total War Announced in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="Raven X" reply="56" id="2698399"] Quoting Aractain, reply 55It all looked rendered to me, because the distant objects don't degrade into horrid pieces of crap like all TW games do lmao. A thing I've think people do lately is rather than setup max or something with in game assets to render they have a special mode of their game which renders to file (a movie) at stupid resolutions with full detail on all objects. Maybe something like that? <br

Reply to XSI to .MESH Conversion Source Code Released in Sins Modding Sins Forums

So I can't find anywhere in that (DumpMeshVertex specifically) where you set the "Color" value of the vertex that appears in the .mesh file. Im guessing its just set to 0 in the vertex class? Also the cached vert list seems to be processed elsewhere? Im guessing in or after 'SaveMeshData' since you need the normals.

They do stuff themsevles (and you setup special tactics for targeting and ability use), and with the Advanced Tactics mod you can make your tactics better and have your own player char automated. Not to mention have rouges automatically get into backstab position. That really enhances the game for me.

Reply to Starcraft 2 is out in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="97" id="2698067"]I think a show of hands is in order here. "Who would PAY real money for a player made Map, created on a Free in game Map Creator Tool?" [/quote] Depends enterily about how quality the map is. I mean, what if an author wrote a book with a set of free pens? Is his work suddenly worthless? Personally though, I don't really need to buy maps since im not korean.

[quote who="Autarkhos" reply="229" id="2697764"] Quoting Sola_III, reply 228Pausable real - time combat in DA IMO is a great compromise between true turn - base and RTS. I loved the way Bioware talked this up as something new, when it'd been in BG, Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment etc.[/quote] Which the vast majority of th eplayers of DA:O probably never even heard of never mind played...

Reply to RELOADED Shoots Starcraft 2...Right In The Face!!! in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Also, in addition to what Tridus said, DoWII does not have a 50+ hour campaign. It also has an expansion pack that contiunes the story (of the Blood Ravens the centeral theme of all Dawn of War). Nor does it have 87 missions, or over (and most of its missions were very 'arena' like with little in the way of story and many many of them were the same map with no persistence just rotated a little bit). No dice.

This whole history thing... All I want to know is did Nepolean use hax? He was french right? I mean Genghis was a little rusher, the Brittish turtled and boomed, Romans teched up and so on. Surely the easiest way to work out who is best is to look at the world rankings (1v1) leaderboard.
