Any of you guys/gals swim?
author=Shinan link=topic=3357.msg66943#msg66943 date=1237374199
There seem to be a lot of talk about pool-swimming. Who actually swims in, uh, proper water? I myself am not exactly the biggest fan of the ocean/salt water (even though I won't say no) but I frequently swim in lakes (or possibly ponds. It's not like they're very large. One of my favorite places one summer was a pond the size of a football field hidden in the forest. It was a nice place and you could almost get the whole way there by bike).
I for one don't really like swimming in pools at all. Though I like playing in pools :)
I LOVE to swim outside of the pool! I don't get too many opportunities seeing as its pretty location-dependent, but I think about it all the time. I've swam in the ocean a couple of times while I was vacationing in the Carribeans once. Its honestly as beautiful as they say it is, but the salt really does a number on my nose so I'm not too big a fan of ocean-swimming either.
Personally, I'd like to take this further one day and learn scuba-diving.. probably some time after I graduate.

Any of you guys/gals swim?
Now that the weather's finally starting to get warmer and my hair's short again (and therefore much less of a water mop), I've been going to the campus rec's pool regularly. I've only been swimming regularly for a little more than half a year, though having to stop for half a year due to re-locating for work and winter setting in.
Something I've been working on is trying to extend the amount of time I can stay underwater for. Most recently I've been able to swim a length of the pool (25 m) in one breath. At the moment though, I'm just doing my best to swim laps while surfacing as little as possible. Any of you big-time swimmers know better techniques for this kind of thing?
Let's see how many swimmers we have in the RMN community!

Nudity in Games

I thought it was cool.. :-\
I dunno, it's possible to have tasteful nudity depending on the context and all. At the very least, I'm mature enough not to get embarrassed over digital representations of the naked human body, tasteful or not. If the game is well-presented and fits in well with the nude scene, then that's all that's needed to win me over.
RE 5 Release

It's missing good AI.
But I never played RE4.
Well your partner in RE4 doesn't really do anything on her own accord. If attacked, she'll just cower there until you save her or she gets carried off.
The enemy AI is pretty predictable though. One trick I always like doing is to run up to them until they bring their weapons back to swing at you, backpedal a bit so that they whiff, then run past while they're in their post-swing recovery phase.
Seriously, every generic human enemy re-acts this way to getting run'ned towards. It's funny to watch and show off.
Resources, originality and theft
author=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=3324.msg66186#msg66186 date=1236807748
Now as far as ripping stuff from fellow community members, well, on paper it can be said that it's no different than any other rip, but come on, that's a pretty messed up thing to do to a comrade. It's like sleeping with your friends girlfriend.
I must say, this is the smartest thing I've seen come from your mouth. Bravo.
I'm starting to understand why RM barely ever gets any original resources anymore. I mean, I've started releasing a pile of ripped and original resources, and it still feels really odd seeing it used by others. I'd seriously like to take the higher moral ground and say it's hypocritical to claim "ownership" on something that's pretty much stolen from elsewhere, but it's honestly tougher than I'd like it to be. I guess it's like sharing your kids with other parents.. except those kids were kidnapped from some rich couple who're too busy making money to notice their kids are gone. Anyways, if that's the way it is with ripped resources, imagine how it is with theft of originals?

Go ahead, use a fellow developers own work.
When your game comes out, people will find out. It risks your reputation. You won't get away with it, nobody ever has.
This too.
Resources from first AAG Demo (Mainly Battle Animations)
Yeah the transparent layer tends to get crowded, since I only really need a few tiles for floors and walls. And since everything is proportional to a 32x16 dimension character, everything gets scaled up.
Hero's Realm v1.5
Weird EXP problem... RM2k3
When you change character classes, the character's exp resets back to that needed to get to that level. Is this the problem?
Resources from first AAG Demo (Mainly Battle Animations)
Well I edited and compiled them to get them to work in Rm2k3, but the original animations are from various fighting games like Guilty Gear XX and Melty Blood. I think Mugen would be a pretty good place to start if you want to go about finding your own. I got most of this thru torrents a long time ago though, and I doubt they're still active.
