Rarebit

No new Image Retrieval today. I think I'll probably have something for next week, though.

I've finally got a Vista machine, and have been studying the rendering issues in MXO for the past week or so. I'm going to describe the types of problems I've found. If there's another graphic-related problem you're having specifically wit...

options.cfg also has screen resolution/windowed parameters. Possibly these are overriding useropts settings. The game also has resolution/windowed command line options, which are probably possible to use when launching the game somehow, so...

There was a network outage this morning that affected various things across SOE servers. It's supposed to be mostly sorted out now. /crossfingers

Try clearing out Internet Explorer's cached data. The in-game UI for things like the Scanline receivers, The Sentinel, and the cinematics is really just running over an IE window.

Sugoi! Also, cool music. (What's it from?)

Re: the most recent update, the abbreviation "CQ" pre-dates MXO, and comes from the word "conquest," I think. I did a little hunting around to see if I could find out what game first used it, but I seem to have failed. Won't I feel silly i...

Or there's something you didn't click on.

Updated.

No, I was kicking myself yesterday for not picking up any in my trudge over eight blocks of ice to the grocery store. Heh, Star, your version is 10 seconds shorter because you used the second version of scene 0 that I made for you, where I...

Hey, there's another one now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG0tI0-d24Q This one does have bars at top and bottom. If you load them simultaneously in separate windows you can switch back and forth and watch it stretch, whee!

We should just make /stuck a shortcut for /suicide.

Nice-looking rumble you had there.

Supreme Beings of Leisure - Rock and a Hard Place (Also, the dangers of searching on YouTube .)

Oh now those are three different items, ya know. Also, I'm not sure about a white hallway entrance Pillsen. Hm... Wait, I found one !

I'm a fire truck...and I'm here to put you out.

Hey, Vanguard actually *is* in there. Silly me. Ooh! I know! Pirates of the Burning Sea!

Neat picture. I seem to have located a captioned version somehow!

HmMmMmmm... Vanguard? Planetside? Wait...wait...I'll get it eventually...

Still showing up just fine as far as I can see.

Oh, that. I thought you were pulling some kind of Animal House look on me or something. Yeah, for whatever reason the tie area also maps to the inside of the collar on those vest models, so whatever color the tie is, that'll appear inside...

H is a pretty rad dude.

Who? Tried hard to resist the urge to siggify, failed spectacularly.

Just wait until you come to the actual "lol"...

Storyboard animatic:

Hm, in that case it probably didn't use letterboxing to do it (that would typically have added bars at both top and bottom). Could be slightly stretched vertically.

The first draft version of that, for the sake of comparison, although not all that much changed really: scene 1 - zoom out from inert Wright to Architect viewing in his monitoring room - a: where is thy humanity now... - a: agent gray - gr...

Final version of the working script (possibly still some differences between this and the cinematic): scene 0 - chapter caption, pan over to dead Wright >The Matrix Online_ >Chapter 12.1_ scene 1 - zoom out from inert Wright to Architect v...

No wonder Mervy wants 'em!

Oooh. *wishes he could script them to say "GF" afterwards*

The music switch when [spoiler woman] came in made me ^jump^! Neat that it fits so well in YouTube's new widescreen format. Did you have to crop it at all, or maybe heighten the black bar at the bottom a tad? I couldn't see obvious croppin...

Heeheehee dang, someone got it already. =P EDIT: Oh, although seeing it just reminded me that there's a question of who it is exactly, since there are two people who look like that, but only one who uses /mood regal. :o

Alas! I meant for it to be obvious to veterans. Or hm maybe you have to be Merv. Oh well let's look at the meager clues that flash by all too quickly:

Alas, my erratic drawing style and animated presentation has created confusion. Plus I just don't seem to be able to draw that particular character's head correctly from a low angle. But aside from the context (scene that just happened pre...
