Skaven development thread

[aaglo]

Note to skaven fanatics: I updated the warpfire thrower attack animation - now the fire does not have civ-coloured spots innit. (see the appropriate thread)

My computer hates me

The Nightrunner i was working on has been eaten by the computer, as well as several previous units and research stuff.

So i am rather annoyed.

Are you interested in doing any more Skaven, aaglo?

 

[Frostyboy]

It sounds very frustrating having a computer that eats nightrunners.
Which program are you using mr. Adelaide?

 

[LMR]

I use FLICster, Paint Shop Pro 5 and CivFLICEdit

They're not the problem, tho. I keep all my in-progress units in a file on my D drive, since it had the most space (90-something percent free space), but everything in this folder, except the most recent file (which was the Stormvermin Guard demo GIF), was gone.

It is very frustrating. this happened when i was making a Manscorpion for Tjedge, and again when i was halfway through making my ratling gun, which i'm glad i wasn't able to finish after seeing aaglo's beautiful work

Did you try to recover yours files with specialized software ?

 

[Stormrage]

Burn, baby, burn! C`mon, CD`s are so cheap, you can back everything up on them..

 

[LMR]

Yeah, yeah, i know...

i'll be starting again soon, two weeks left until uni starts

[LMR]

[Stormrage]

[Hawkmoon]

Very,very nice Odin

 

[aaglo]

I took a shot at the skaven leaderhead too...

 

[Scytale]

Aaglo that's even greater than the beastman LH ! The only problem I see is that it's too dark. Maybe add some light or something. Other than that it's great .

 

[Quinzy]

a small glow from the back of the cave maybe? a luminecent green, to simulate warpstone would look cool..

 

[Scytale]

exactly! wonderful ideea Quinzy!

 

[Stormrage]

Holy crap! Thats great aaglo! Green glow (but very, very weak -its supposed to be dark underground ) would be great.

 

[aaglo]

That backlight (actually its between the two "council members") is a bit yellowish green. I think I could increase the intensity. And I wouldn't want to make it very light image for two reasons:
1. if too light, then all the flaws in my skaven model will pop out.
2. it is supposed to be a cave. and caves tend to be very dim.

 

[Quinzy]

personally i think its fine the way it is. i was just sort of elaborating on Scytale's post

 

[Stormrage]

Yeah, me too

 

[LMR]

you make me so happy aaglo!
