Shades of Truth Carryover

Post by OfF KiLTeR »

I know there are many things that we don't want to carry over from the Shades of Truth element of the game, especially now that we are running on a version closer to the original.

The one thing I think would be a nice touch would be the re-introduction to the other colours. We've gotten along fine with the palette of colours for a long time now, but perhaps dreamers sporting a new colour or two might not be a bad thing. That said, I am completely oblivious to the complications involved in coding this.

I have soft skills. Translating things into logical code ain't my bag.

The colors were one of the things that fundamentally broke that game.

How did the colours break the game? In what sense exactly, sir Sidas?

From my understanding, the colors didn't just effect avatars, it messed up the colors of items bound to each focus. A lot of the SoT additions aren't possible in this version, because Lycaon almost rewrote the whole code to make those changes work.

I spent a lot of hours editing the avatars where the new colors made spots pop out. I did enjoy the colors though.

Aha,

Well that answers that then. Normally I would contribute a solution or my time to said solution, but this is way over my head on a technical level. :ugeek:

I think in pie-in-the-sky terms in these things, since in my little world everything is the work of pixies and unicorns. Are there any aspirations or even a warm reception to some of the reclamation game elements? I am so far removed from the process, and I certainly don't want it to look like things need to change, I am just curious as to what the future direction of things might be.

I love having the community back and supporting what was the most creative environment of its time (and probably of the present.)
