fat? what?





Nod @ kix..thing is you can't create new spell types, or a "vampire 3" spell class would be nice..all types of drain spells n stuff.

Making brand new spells for 1 class specifically would be a pain, more so than making new weapons that only 1 class can use, and that class can only use those weapons. Since there is the option to have a "limited" weapon type, its fairly easy. If there was a way to do this for new spell-types, it would be awesome. I *THINK* I have an idea on how to be able to do it, but I would have to check into it. I don't wanna say anything incase it doesn't work and makes me look stupid.



I still apologize for my comments, but thanks for the compliments that are coming in now. I just have this belief that if you create something, its yours. I have no problem with people using anything I have, in fact I just told the guy from Chaos Storm he could use my stuff the other day. I just think it's polite to ask first. I know with this big mod stuff everyone is gonna team up on, everyone is gonna have the same stuff anyway, but I didn't put my stuff out there for people to use on their own boards. Just ask me, and I'll let anybody use whatever I want. Since there's really no way to claim ownership of edits, because whatever it is, it's probably been done somewhere, maybe not on mud, but somewhere. I don't play d&d, rpg, fantasy stuff, read metro/mudcentral forums, so I don't have a clue what else is out there. Only Mud. So in my mind, anything I create IS my creation. I apologized because I did come off as a bit of an asshole, and I didn't want to start a huge argument and make myself look like a greedy, selfish, asshole sysop. I'm really not that way. Brunt - if you ever wanna use something I have and nobody else has (not saying "my ideas"), ask me, I'll be more than willing to let you use em. It's flattering to me. If you need help with anything, ask. Especially if you have trouble with higher level stuff, I'm really good at that. And on that note, as long as I'm talking about asking sysops for permission to use stuff that is found only on their board....



Invisigod - Can I borrow a few of your races and classes and weapons to get me started? :lol:

a lot of those spells there at the bottom were a ripoff of final fantasy tactics :P*

[dxpac666]

I'm aware of this. The old website before I converted to the ripoff of Mudcentral (LOL I'm one to talk about rippin shit off) mentioned that they were Final Fantasy ripoffs. But in this case, I wasn't the editor. My old cosysop Atma made those spells. They were very overpowered too. After he quit, and in my balancing process that I'm in now, I have reduced them to be balanced spells. You made a good point there though. :)

[dxpac666]

I tried my idea and it failed miserably. I made a new class without mana. And I made a new item that would cast a spell. All the spell did was read off a text block. The textblock just had giveability 69 which is Max Mana. I was hoping it would work but it didn't. What I have for my Vampire class is an item they can use to cast a spell that drains hp. It's the closest thing I can think of. It's very handy too.

MMB, the only place i know that can make a mud forum look like a soap opera. :D

[Trioxin-245]

You guys are fucked up.



I've had those EXACT races/classes on my bbs for like two or three years. So I doubt they honestly belong to anyone of you pickle dicks.



FYI: Tenchu is a fucking video game, not a class.

[dxpac666]

Any anybody cares what board you had, why? I was on a vacation from MUD, and computers as a whole for a few years up until about a year ago. So I've never seen your shit. I can't imagine it was very good either. Just your whole overall attitude in that message, being your only message ever posted here, tells me you're a dick and wouldn't take the time to make your shit right. Pickles are nice, pea cock.

[dxpac666]

I never said anything about Tenchu. Actually that was probably the only part of his message I ignored. I don't know if its true or not, but I called it "Tenshu" on my board, and thats cuz I borrowed it from Lunar. As far as the names, I can understand names being the same. The fact that you can only go so far and still keep the game "midieval" only gives you limited opportunites. It was the percentage of "ripoffs" that bothered me. I don't know if the stats are the same. They could be, all my stats are posted on my website. More than likely they aren't. But, using 85% of the same names, it seems fishy. I've visited other boards, I've liked their ideas, but I force myself to not use them. Some ideas I have taken from other boards, well just one. Lunar Dynamics. Me and Seph go way back, he's fine with it as far as I know. That's what he tells me anyway. I know there will never be an exact replica of Sinister Urge, hell even the name is fuckin stolen. Rob Zombie - "The Sinister Urge". I've thought about changing it, but fuck it. Anyway, you see what I'm saying? One or two races/classes being the same, that's fine. I know alot of boards have names that might be the same. Three or four, that would be kinda weird, but still cool. But THIRTEEN?! That's only a little obvious. I've apologized twice. I've offered him help with his text block/quest question. I'm not here to bitch about shit. I don't know how many times I have to apologize. I mean, Brunt's obviously been on these forums since I apologized. He neither accepted my apology, or continued this stupid flamefest on me. He displays more maturity than most people on here, myself included. I'll give him that much. The people who seem to be on my ass about this, I've been weeding them out. I've talked to Plat on AIM. Ray hasn't said anything, I dunno if he's been on or not since I wrote that. Now its just you, AdmiralAcid. For some reason, I dunno. Maybe you're bitter because Morbid is gone. Maybe you're pissed because nobody ever gave me shit for credit except Invisigod, and I've been around this long. If anybody gets pissed off about this... fuck it. I'm voicing my opinion. I was man enough to apologize to Brunt. It's between me and him. Nobody else. I have nothing against you, Admiral. I just don't see why you seem dead set on proving me to be a ripoff sysop. Most of my shit is original as far as I know. I NEVER steal ideas from anybody. Sure, a few of my edits aren't my idea, but they're given to me by my users. You obviously looked at my website, because you quoted what version of SinisterMud was being run. Perhaps you noticed the (thanks) after a bunch of shit. I give credit where it's due. I expect some people to think I'm an asshole after this message, and I don't blame them. I defend my work. I realize I'm coming off as an asshole, but I'm telling the truth. Some people might think I'm a cocky sonofabitch. That's also true. But I can afford to be cocky. A lot of boards come and go. I have built Sinister Urge up piece by piece over the past 9 months. That's longer than alot of places last. I still constantly update the board, instead of letting it turn into shit and becoming boring. My high level expertise has helped with a few NMR options/bugs. It is out there, available for any sysop who needs help with any high level things. I'm doing the bullshit work, and nobody else will have to mess with it on their board. I have been through it. My users are very patient and understanding. If they're downgraded, they understand it's for the good of the future of the board. With all the experience I have at editing high level shit, I can help any other sysop when they decide to make shit for higher levels. They won't have to put up with the same overpowered crap I've had to deal with. I'm going to end on this note. If you, or anybody else, has a problem with me, or my cocky attitude, which I think I deserve to have, speak up. For those of you who understand why I'm cocky, because I have the right to be, thank you. I might not have the most populated board around, but I have the best group of understanding, loyal users anybody has ever seen. I love all of them, they have made me into what I am today. And that is a contributing member of MMB. A sysop who is dedicated to his work. A sysop who will help anybody, but finds it kinda funny when someone posts a message advertising their new board, and 85% of the stuff they post is stuff I have. I'm very flattered. But all I ask for is permission. I will give it. No ifs, ands, or buts. It's just respect. Respect I feel I have deserved. Respect ALL sysops of edited boards deserve. I am not a god, I am just good at what I do. If you haven't noticed, most of the questions I've asked can't be answered. I end up answering my own questions. Why? Cuz I'm so far ahead in editing than anyone else. Not that I have BETTER edits, but I have much more. Admiral, I have nothing against you. But truthfully, this doesn't concern you, especially since I apologized for my behavior... twice. I know this was long, but dammit... I dunno. I'm just gonna end this on this note. :hump:
