Reply to Item cost in Demigod Demigod Forums

You can do it as a mod non-destrutively 1) Follow the instructions to make a mod (folder and mod info) 2) create your own Mod_Units.bp file (this is a text file with the .bp extension) 3) Override the costs using the data structure that can be found in your dgdata.zip's units\ug\b\ugbshopXX file (where XX is the specific shop number for each page of items in the store) eg: In the Mod_Units.bp file of my Balmod mod here is the structure of the consumable price cha

[quote who="kingbee" reply="4" id="3140808"]somewhere right around 2:50 "i'd devise fictitious products like _______ and trade them in imaginary markets" can't quite hear what the product is but it sounds much more like carbon something than it does synthetic cdos. i guess that's probably because synthetic cdos trade in an unimaginably under-regulated market. the very thing i'd advocate if i wanted america to fail.

Reply to Kinect & Real Life Gaming in Console Games JoeUser Forums

Out of the 3 console implementations of motion controllers, I find that Kinect has the most room for new undiscovered potential, where as Wii and PS have pretty much reached their potential and would simply be getting better at the same things they do now. MS also has a biz dev competition to move Kinect technology forward called " Kinect Accelerator " so hopefully something new and exciting comes out of it. For

WiDi is cool and everything... but I think we are just at the beginning of Apple's traction to overwhelm day-to-day consumer data needs. There was a slide show I saw last month that has pretty much convinced me to abandon Windows development. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-future-of-mobile-deck-2012-3#-1 I am tending to believe what I see in this slide show because of a combination of 1) Apple sales continue to impress 2) iTunes has huge penetration 3) iCloud is the onl

Played it... wow, it's a terrible dumbed down version of Diablo II with terrible execution of storyline. What I mean by this -No control over stats... even though they did the right things D2 did wrong (eg: Intelligence effects magic damage so actually has meaning for putting points into it rather than gearing your required mana) -No control over skills... you just get them, gee thanks. Oh what, there will be choices to make? Awesome, was it in the beta? No. -Charac

Anti-spirit rush in Demigod Demigod Forums

Was thinking about this problem and trying to solve it without the heavy handed approach of Pacov's anti-spirit rush mod. The idea Regular soldiers can target Oak's wards. I'm not talking minions from demigods, I'm talking portal spawned troops. Basically, it is harder to place them to be productive if you don't have lane control. Any thoughts on this? As it is now, the only way they can be destroyed is with Nightcrawlers bec

Some tier 1 player mentioned consume damage in passing. Here is the explanation, the main being that there is an additional potential depending on Ring of Fire and how long you stand on it. Sometimes you cannot avoid it (snare/stun) Fire TB Burst @7 = Fireball 850 + Nova 400 = 1250 + Ring of Fire <span style="color: #ff

Really, last hitting in DOTA2 is a chore I like RoI because of the lane mechanics and persistent items/levels idea. I quit it in Jan when they were doing too many bad things, but it is still a better game then LoL.

It's like a super advanced mine-sweeper mouse click simulator, except for all the crazy super mario kart style BS... I hate last hit game mechanics now...I mean, there are certain extremes that just should not be unleashed on the general population.... like last hitting your own creeps/towers to deny an enemy a last hit. That kind of crap is only cool when you deny the super evil real life bad guy his satisfaction maybe once or twice in a life time... but not every single creep wa
