I made this while the system was frozen, so....and i thought it looked cool.
Heres the link.

erm... what is it called? looks cool though, never seen a weapon like that before though.

it would be a really good spear if the head was on strait

*scratches his head

ehhh.. looks.. like a fence post. Do what Gro-bul said and make the top longer so it looks like a spear

That , or make the staff smaller, into a handel and attach the metal head to is by a chain. You will have a mean looking...well..'ball' and chain.

I put a new spear up there.......its kinda cool, but the jpg. thing is annoying, cause it takes away the quality of the picture.

hey well you could stick two feathers on the sides and shrink it a *poof* a nice new bolt graphic.

Yes, when viewing the two handed weapon, I noticed that it did look a little strange. Did you get it fixed yet? If so then you may want to fix your link. When the weapon is done, I'll be happy to look at it once again.

radurak the link works for me

It looks awful. I don't know what you do that for, but I am sorry to tell you that you will never ever see such things in Illarion because they simply don't look good.
And no, they are not "cool" or something.

Save your time, learn some maths or something.

Martin

real constructive martin...anyway has anyone released a template for the ingame 'square' graphic thingy?

RtfFAQ (=read the fucking FAQ).

This was intended to be constructive. Math, for example, is much more important than that.

Martin

Hi,

Ich würde Martin an dieser Stelle gern erneut ein Kompliment für seine unbeschreibliche (!) Einfühlsamkeit machen.

Bye

Einfühlssamkeit ist doch auch völlig fehl am Platze hier, was bringt das denn? Kritik kann und wird immer verletzend sein, wenn der andere zu nah am Wasser gebaut ist.

Und mal ehrlich, wenn wir waffenmässig denken und "logisch". Selbst wenn diese Waffe hübsch aussehen würde, was soll das denn werden? Die ist doch in keiner Spur funktionell, das sieht aus wien Dreschflegen, das verletzt doch keinen wirklich, sowas würde niemand erfinden.

and using maths with deduction i conclude that possibly martin is UHOA (up his own..you get the message)..

I love you martin.

read the fucking FAQ

Shit ... we are allowed to swear now, or is that taking the fucking piss?

Anyway, if it was more 3d and had more textures on it, t'would look much better than it is now. Don't dis them for trying, help them to help you make graphics, by teaching him you will have more help. And is not the more the merrier?

PS Can we really say smile? <thats wierd, it should say f.u.c.k ...

heh martin, i can say the same thing about those "staffs" too but hopefully there will be new graphics for them.

Some short remarks (not for the first time of course, but I noticed that reading in other threads isn't really "in"... so I will spend my time for explaining things which I already explained several thousand times instead of making these new orc-graphics I wanted to create today, but *I* don't play this game anyway, so who cares? you do, but you asked me to explain rather than creating graphics, it was your choice, you made it, FINE!) Okay, explaination instead of new orcs, that's how you want it to be:

1) There is the graphic FAQ, clearly linked at from the illarion.org main page!
2) I wrote it in order to avoid explaining the same things over and over. Obviously some of you are simply too lazy or too stupid to read and understand this, so I have to explain it again and again. Thank you very much, this helps a lot (YES, I think about closing this board because of a lack of maturity here)
3) In the FAQ there are questions like:

* What should the items look like?
(with an answer, of course)
You did not follow this.

* What size should the items have?
(with an answer, of course)
You did not follow this.

* What is this perspective you are talking about?
(with an answer of course)
You did not follow this.

* How do I get my graphics to fit that perspective?
(with an answer of course)
You did not follow this.

Do you want me to be grateful towards people who do not read what I wrote?
Do you want me to be grateful towards people who ask:
"has anyone released a template for the ingame 'square' graphic thingy?"
when in fact my graphics FAQ *CONTAINING EXACTLY THIS SQUARE* is online for two years now, MENTIONED in the rules of THIS board:
"4) Whatever you do, follow the graphic-FAQ."
Do you think I have nothing else to do than to explain things I mentioned again and again to stupid little children because they are too lazy to read?

NO.

Next time something similar happens I will proceed as follows:
* Delete the posting
* Delete all postings which praise such crappy graphics not following the popular rules declared by his royal majesty (martin)
* BANNING all those people from this board

This is SERIOUS. I don't want to waste my time with that. Sorry.
Don't be upset, don't be offended. It's just that I do not get paid anything, in contrary: I give my rare free time to you, explaining things which I already explained and you come up and tell me that I am not very constructive. Piss off! Get lost! Go home, play with "MS-paint" or anything, write your own game, I don't know, BUT DON'T BOTHER *ME*!

I mean, is this the way you did school too? Or even university? Asking the questions which your professor explained thousand times, which are written down in ANY textbook? And you think they won't get offended by that?
I tell you something: YES, I am offended by such stupid things, because it shows me that no one gives a damn shit about what I wrote. I sit down collecting links, writing in a language which is not my mother tongue, writing FAQs and forum rules. What for, I ask myself, what for, if you do not care about it?

Relax, insert your brain again, turn it on and come back.

Have a nice day,

Martin

i admit i asked a stupid question, i apologize martin (sorry about the comment aswell )..

About teaching:
I am no teacher. I don't want to be a teacher. That has its reasons.
I don't have the time to teach people what they can teach themselves. I can give them some hints, but I think I gave enough hints here. You only need to read them.
You just have to be what science calls a "homo sapiens sapiens" (thanks galdriel for reminding me of that ). How did you think should the proposed graphics be built in? Did you try them on a screenshot?
Do they fit *any* cathegory, any requirement for illarion-graphics? No.
Were they created having in mind existing graphics and the graphics-FAQ? No.
So what?
I won't teach anyone. I might give hints and tips where to find information and what to change once one has reached a certain level of advancement (which some of you will know from experience), but I won't teach people who even lack a certain degree of what I call "critical look". That has no sense at all.

Martin.

Erm...okay, well, i kinda liked it. Oh, and...you do know other people have STUPID looking stuff in their forums too, and you dont tell them theirs is plain stupid. And, no, i wasnt expecting it to be on illarion! i just was bored and did that. gosh.....

Shall martin comment all posts with proposals for graphics?

Then please don´t complain later, if nothing changes in the client.

I wasnt expecting them to put it in the game!
