Here's weird...

If you feel like you're up to the challenge of building your own Ages in Blender or 3ds Max, this is the place for you!

Here's weird...

Postby Zander » Sat Mar 15, 2008 9:38 am

one of the many reasons I've abandoned Age Sux...er, I mean Six.

I got tired of there only being light in a small circle around me and the rest of the Age being black. (Okay, it's black stone, but it shouldn't be entirely in silhouette even with the Ambient pushed up to 1.) So I added a couple more suns, tracking them to the terrain like the first one. Guess what...no difference.

But when I linked back to Relto...there was strong light shining through my bookshelf, on my wardrobe doors, and on me. Light that was not there when I started, or when I closed down and started again, but which came back with me from Age Six, twice. I have never made any changes to my Relto whatsoever, never even tried to import it. The files are completely untouched. There is no way that light could be there in that Age, or attached to my avvie.

See why I think this that we're doing is more than half chaos voodoo?

LOL, I hope I'm able to avoid all the weirdness you're experiencing when I finally start exporting ages, Zander. :D

Oh yeah!!! That's voodoo.

That means I'm a witch-doctor. :P

This is the kind of stuff I've been hacking uru to make happen(ok, this isn't the ONLY reason) I currently have some stuff working. But your "bug" is just a Sequence-prefix thing. You must have some scrap of an age left in your dat that has the same prefix. That can throw it off.

Oh and as for me controlling its awesome powers... it's kind of black-magic to me. ;) If you're interested in non-global ages following you around... just ask. :)


Did I tell you that it works with objects yet? Your age must've been under-ground. :)

Ah. So that's what I get for saving different versions of the same Age. Should have guessed. :lol:

Actually, I'm sure it is all quite logical, it just seems chaotic to us groundlings.

This is the first version of the plugin to semi-consistently exhibit this bug. Counting me, you're the second person who this has happened to.

:shock:

I reexported the age... (without any changes) and the problem went away. :?
