Hee!

Oh wow - the textured mine cart is looking grand Nosslak! Thanks for putting the hours in. =-3

Aww man - I'd LOVE to see some swamps or woodland!

The girl who organises the classes didn't add me to the round email saying they were back on >.> So I've missed a bunch but I went to one yesterday and it worked out nicely for someone out of practice! Just an A4 sketch - I was mostly drawing his feet and legs - found them quite interesting to do!

Sorry BD - I didn't actually know there was a sub forum for beta testing. :-X

"I get charged if my monthly goes over 5GB." Whoa jeez. I thought I was badly off with FIFTY GB a month.

Argh - I apologise if this is something obvious. I'm not a mapper, myself, so encountering problems doesn't mean I have any idea of fixing them. Has anyone else reported back via PM - and if so is it working for them?

Sorry, upload limit: And here's how it looks immediately after: Default Brightness and Gamma which I use. OK - shall we go on the assumption that something is wrong on my end? The ONLY map which is this dark on my TDM is The Sons of Baltona. All along I thought that was a "feature" to encourage use of the light switches - but now I think it must have been a bug with the ambient light. =-/ Shall I take a screenshot of that for comparison?

Now here's a strange thing - I tried restarting the level - and it seems a glimmer of bright ambient light is the default - then it is snuffed out and I have none - I'll try taking a screenshot. One second after "spawning":

I'm having a biiig problem with ambient lighting, even putting my gamma and brightness up to max - there is literally no ambient light at all it seems...

I've never beta tested before but I'd like to give it a go. =3

Well done B-dude, just downloaded it and had a quick peek last night. So far very impressed - the sewers are vastly improved.

Hee - nothing wrong with being interested in nature. Myself - my Mum is a big gardener and spends all her free time doing that for the most part. I don't know much about keeping things alive but I know the names of lots of plants and take huge pleasure from noticing things in the wild or in peoples' gardens. When I was younger we used to go visit Kew Gardens as a family. It was a bit arduous for a toddler but I have fond memories of the sense of adventure of what seemed like an endless park and woods in what seemed like the middle of London. http://www.kew.org/visit-kew-gardens/garden-attractions-A-Z/Princess-of-Wales-Conservatory.htm Probably my favourite was the PoW conservatory - which had a desert section with cacti (My favourite!) and then plunged into a steaming, humid rainforest section with a huge carnivorous plant section (My joint favourite!). ===

@Bikerdude I'm excited! Just playing your update and have to say - you are improving over time. We're lucky to have such a prolific mapper hereabouts. =3

*Checks votes* *Sees 3 "OK" ones - the lowest available in all categories* *Suspects Shadowhide* *Reconsiders: "Nah, that's presumptuous of me - I've seen other people downvote nastily before...* *Scrolls up thread* Shadowhide: ... ... ... ... >.>

Loving your work Nosslak - thanks for posting here. Don't worry about the "era" for things like minecarts. Lord knows this universe is an aesthetic mish mash.

Was it? Argh - sorry.

Hey! Great to see some stormtroopers! I've got my fingers crossed they'll release some plastic stormtroopers and Valhallans at some point in the next few years! Resin and metal are expensive. =-<

Are you kidding? Trapped was a misty hell hole lit by baleful eerie ghost lights. So I think you can make something nasty and horrific when you like. =-P

Oh man IL-2 is the best flightsim ever! Like HoI2 I didn't play it "properly" I just played it on the lowest difficulty but it was glorious. The 1946 version is a DREAM COME TRUE, an alternative reality timeline simulated beautifully. Rocket planes, thermojets and jets and hybrids. BEAUTIFUL <3 Just using instant action with that was a joy. I also enjoyed playing the FInnish campaign against the Soviets. Darwinia is a great little game. Very much relies on you being nostalgic for 80s home computer and arcade gaming though. HoI2 === I tried playing that LAN with an RL friend. It was weird but strangely hypnotic. We played from 1936 with me as America steering towards fascism to ally with his Germany. My entire fleet was annihilated by the ROyal Navy and they even tried to invade through Canada, very exciting. I got super frustrated with him letting me stew without transports and not letting me have all the islands I'd need to invade other nations and station my troops. I tortuously invaded New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, South Africa... Whilst he swept through the whole of Europe and Asia. In a pique of irritation I began lying that I didn't have any rocketry or atomic research to share... When one of my "Peacemaker" bombers dropped a nuke on Bolivia it made him sit up and pay attention >:-3

@Springheel Ooh! Great work there - good asset to have around! ;-) @Grayman Cheers mate, not like I wanted to go to sleep now or anything lol. I keep wondering about blind ghosts / enemies hunting you by sound, say in a horrific Hammer forge that has been gutted by fire - LOTS of noisy metal surfaces and difficulties. Just re-read "Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You my Lad": http://gaslight.mtroyal.ca/owhistle.htm The ghost in which seems to be some kind of pale, grasping, blind monstrosity reaching for his victim and searching by sound. But I think it'd be too easy to sneak round enemies using sound alone, right?

Forgive me - what I am talking about in particular are really uninteresting beers and lagers being exchanged around the world. For example, Newcastle Brown Ale is being marketed to Americans in trendy 330ml bottles at a high price. A far cry from the Geordie origins of that drink. =-P And then Americans send unremarkable things like Sierra Nevada over here and people pay £4/5 a pint in a city pub thinking they are trying something particularly special. Just seems like a lot of air miles and waste and marketing nonsense to me. x-D

@Demagogue Do you rate Hearts of Iron at all? I greatly enjoyed HoI 2, even though I was just playing around with it doing silly things... HoI3 has been on sale on Steam a bit but I still wasn't convinced that I would enjoy it much.

Currently sipping a bottle of Rebellion Red from my local brewery... I think it's absolute madness to import what are essentially lagers from other parts of the world so I try to stick to purely British booze. =-P http://www.rebellionbeer.co.uk/Rebellion%20Shop%20Brochure.pdf
