Opinions wanted!  Arathon vives.dyndns.org Joined: 09 Feb 2003 Total Posts: 1885 Send PM   New Vives Haks? Opinions wanted! Posted: 12 Oct 2004 03:01 PM Hi folks, we're going to be needing a new hak (only very small,less than a meg) due to 1.64 and compatability issues. We'd like to add some new ones too thoughand we will be doing (not particularly big), but with some there's the issue that they're quite large :/ The two in Question are the Gothic haks........ so what I'm basically asking is: How big a hak update are you willing to Download? Here's some screenies of the Haks in Question: Let us know your thoughts! :D - Ara Vives Screenshots!  Arathon vives.dyndns.org Joined: 09 Feb 2003 Total Posts: 1885 Send PM   Re: New Vives Haks?

Posted: 12 Oct 2004 03:02 PM NOTE: These two haks come in at circa 32 meg for both of em ;) Vives Screenshots!  Calmeir Joined: 28 Jul 2003 Total Posts: 320 Send PM   Re: New Vives Haks?

Posted: 12 Oct 2004 03:27 PM Don't care on size! but thats because I have a fast connection and can just leave it to DL all day on my day off. How many people that play on Vives are still using dial up, because if there isn't anyone that does can't really see much of a problem with people using something like DL accelerator to do it in segments. Though I might be missing another reason..... I would say not over 500mb :)) but I don't really care just as long as everyone can DL it with no problems Kitty...

Posted: 12 Oct 2004 05:40 PM Oh wow they are unbelievable. If we get that hak can we also get LAZ3RZ too! I have no problem with any size hak tbh, do we have many people on 56k these days?

Opinions wanted! Posted: 12 Oct 2004 05:44 PM I think anyone willing to download the vives haks originally before trying the world, would not mind downloading several more megs of stuff to keep playing once theyve witnessed its grooviness :p I for one vote put em in.  Byron Joined: 27 Sep 2004 Total Posts: 212 Send PM   Re: New Vives Haks? Opinions wanted! Posted: 12 Oct 2004 05:45 PM Has the Vives team considered implimenting CEP?

Posted: 12 Oct 2004 06:12 PM Implementing CEP would mean approximately................ 150-200 man hours of Work, just to get Vives compliant with CEP. We would then lose a lot of cool custom content we currently use that isn't in CEP, not to mention the tilsets etc. adding more Work.......... We could, however, use CEP in conjunction with our existing haks (but then there's the issue of mass duplication etc.). Unfortunately, We're just too far down the road with our own haks :/ Unless someone comes up with a simpler and quick solution then we won't be implementing it :) - Ara Vives Screenshots!  Glor-an-Fhaidha Joined: 09 Oct 2004 Total Posts: 317 Send PM   Re: New Vives Haks? Opinions wanted! Posted: 12 Oct 2004 11:32 PM I'd be willing to download as much as you want as it is. As to your dial-up concerns, I was on it just a few months ago(Not now though, yaay!) My opinion always was if you give us the time to download the haks before you require the module to use them, then go wild. If you were to make the download avaible at the same time you required it to play, I'd claw your eyes out, painfully.  Veran Joined: 26 Feb 2004 Total Posts: 718 Send PM   Re: New Vives Haks? Opinions wanted! Posted: 13 Oct 2004 01:43 AM Add Everything! Abandon Nothing! I will download any size.... And.. besides... even if the downloads do take a long time... it will only give me more time IG while everyone downloads them to have Daimon Begin work on his New invention... the Coal Driven Steam Powered Steel Motive Rail Driven Trans-Vives Person Carrier. The construction of which will be a great implementation of his formerly useless invention, the Caboose... Which he has yet to find any use for.... as it just sits rusting in his super secret laboratory deep in the Fiirkraag Mountains.

Posted: 13 Oct 2004 10:29 AM My only thoughts are that the gothic tileset looks too modern, a little out of place for the Forgotten Realms. But thats just me, as I am new to Vives and have loved what I've seen so far, I will bow down to the wisdom of the Vives Team... -Kalos "When in doubt, tell the truth.

Posted: 13 Oct 2004 10:32 AM Vives isnt in the forgotten realms. But yea, would be a very different, more modern look to most Vives towns...but maybe inspire Ara to make even more new areas!

Posted: 13 Oct 2004 11:51 AM Well, I can't see the Gothic tileset itself due to a censored internet, but I do believe that the Gothic style of architecture dates back far enough that it does apply to the period that DnD is based upon (C15-16th). And, for that matter, well before that... after all, isn't Notre dang 13th century? -Barnas  Llewen Joined: 30 Sep 2004 Total Posts: 193 Send PM   Re: New Vives Haks? Opinions wanted! Posted: 23 Oct 2004 05:15 PM I don't care how big a hak I have to download to play Vives. Of course I've got alot of bandwidth so unless it is over 5GB it isn't an issue for me.
