Title: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: LSTAR on January 18, 2008, 09:37:00 am

I played StA:1 recently. I broke my bow on a rabbit's head and walked about for a bit. I liked the way you could get a description of things' internal organs. That was nice.

Okay! I admit it! I was just tired of seeing qwertyuiopas' name here all the time! I will have my immortality!

(And I'm well aware of the irony, and that that's not in reference to what you think it is...)

I could never play the game without it locking up long enough for anything cool to happen :(

If only we had one of earlier, better editions.
I heard you actually had some different weapons except the bow...

You did, along with towns.

I'd love to play one of those versions, for historical value if nothing else

STA is a historical relic now. Perhaps we should have one of our dedicated archaeologists try to dig it up a bit more..

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: Magnnus on January 23, 2008, 03:48:00 pm

I actually enjoy the game quite a bit ^^, however not has much as DF. It would be great to play with towns and more weapons, which is what I have always thought was missing most.

Post by: qwertyuiopas on January 23, 2008, 05:49:00 pm

Well, if it was left to the community to improve....
But that means releasing some of DF's code, since I think it still uses some of STA'a combat system...

Huh? DF code? In Armok?

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: qwertyuiopas on January 24, 2008, 05:26:00 pm

I don't know, but I think toady based DF on STA, so some of it should be there...

I see.

Post by: qwertyuiopas on January 26, 2008, 08:25:00 am

Actually, I just remembered that I heard in a recent interview that both were made at the same time. STA was canceled to work on DF, since STA was getting nowhere to slowly..

It seems to me that DF got the whole story line type thingy from STA. I doubt much STA code is actually in DF. That's what Kobold Quest is for, and it's open source.

It's not Spring, is it?

I wish other parts of the forum had a nice red layout like this one.

I like it.

If you cant see why that is relevant I suggest reading my name again.

SLAVES TO ARMOK: GOD OF RED AND BLACK FORUMS!

Respect him, or he'll hurt your eyes!

I reclaim my spot...

arm_ok ?

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: LSTAR on March 09, 2008, 12:27:00 pm

Long story short, Arm_Ok was the variable Toady used in his old Fantasy Game(Tm) to keep track of whether an adventurer still had arms. It was the inspiration for the god Armok.

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: Toady One on March 10, 2008, 04:59:00 am

Legok never made a similar appearance.

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: Torak on March 10, 2008, 08:25:00 am

Legok: God Of Simple Variables

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: a1s on March 10, 2008, 09:23:00 pm

Tor_ak: god of misspelling.

P.S. why is Armok god of blood? shouldn't he be god of [severed] arms?

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: qwertyuiopas on March 11, 2008, 10:49:00 am

Because severd arms lead to blood and the game needed a single god?

Ak. You can be God of Torsos.

exactly.

Tor_ok- god of torsos.
Tar_ok - god of tar pits
Tor_ak -god of misspelling.

I'd understand if misspelling had an A or K in it.

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: a1s on March 15, 2008, 11:31:00 am

yeah, it's a bit of a stretch. the idea is that all the gods are sth_ok's and you are sth_ak. perhaps it should go like this:

Arm_ok: god of arms and blood
Leg_ok: god of legs and football
Tor_ak: god of torsos and misspeling

About the people who think all the forums should be this colour... do colour-blind people agree? :p

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: Puzzlemaker on May 16, 2008, 11:32:00 am

Prolly not, because a common form of colorblindness is seeing red as black.

I'm colourblind and I wish to inform you that you are in fact totally wrong.
I like this colour scheme.

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: Puzzlemaker on May 21, 2008, 03:39:00 pm

What type of colorblindness?

I was talking about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness

Look at Protanomaly

# Protanomaly (1% of males, 0.01% of females):[14] Having a mutated form of the long-wavelength (red) pigment, whose peak sensitivity is at a shorter wavelength than in the normal retina, protanomalous individuals are less sensitive to red light than normal. This means that they are less able to discriminate colors, and they do not see mixed lights as having the same colors as normal observers. They also suffer from a darkening of the red end of the spectrum.

This red stuff should be a theme in the new forum.

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning

Personally, I always thought this theme was absolutely illegible. Dark red on Black, I mean...

I like it, and it's BRIGHT red on black.
It reminds me of submarine movies for some reason, whit only emegency lightning on, or something, I dunno.

I like it. I've never played Armok, but I come here just for the awesome color scheme.

Nooooooooo! Red-and-Blacky! You were my favourite colour scheme!

Muwhahahah !
But yes, this theme is not good at all. There's one, called black22, used on a forum I use, which I really like.

Title: Re: LSTAR's Spring Cleaning
Post by: LSTAR on June 18, 2008, 06:50:57 am

You can change the theme on your profile. I changed mine to "Darkling" and it's much easier on the eyes.

It would be nice if this subform coul optionally use the old color scheme... *hint*
*want*
