Modcast #19: "Smell-o-Vision"

[Locutus]

Don't mind the smell, and enjoy many new contributions and an odiferous episode! Episode 19, "Smell-o-Vision" (50m15s), features core panelists Wouter "Locutus" Snijders, Tony "GarretSidzaka" Kiehl and Kenneth "Impaler[WrG]" Ferland with first-time guest host John "bt_oz" Archer.

ModCast is a bi-weekly ~45-minute audio production of Apolyton Civilization Site and is an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on Civilization modding; its sibling show PolyCast focuses on Civ strategy. To date, ACS is the only community on the web to produce its own Civilization podcasts.

Thanks Wouter

 

[Refar]

Smell-o-Vision huh ? The internet is annoying enought as it is with visual only (and novadays more and more sound...)
Just imagine: Smell-o-Spam

 

[NikNaks]

Thanks for covering Chavez. If you're interested, it's GIMP all the way, and I used a phototexture for the entire front of his face. Where's the feathering tool, by the way?

 

[Refar]

It's usually not a tool but a possible setting for other tools (like brushed, copy / paste or something). In this case there should be a checkbox for "feather edges" in the "Select Region" tool you use for CnP.

 

[NikNaks]

Aaaah. Found it! Thanks!

didnt listen to it yet... but... aftermath never got into any stage of development at all, so i am really excited to hear what you guys have to say about it

EDIT: listened to it, well about aftermath: I decided to wait for Grey Fox to come back, he worked on a "FfH RPG" engine, I will use that one as a base, as soon as he actually finished it...
because: I can´t code

but thanks for covering it.
You should cover FfH 0.34 quickly, once it is out, it will feature a completely new HUD Interface (together with xienwolf) and terrain made by me!
