Re: Drakan Remake by YanGez93
Looks great for the most part - although I'd say that the "snowy grass" looks somewhat... "overexposed", too white? My assumption was to make this project completly free in 100% and I'm aware of copyright infrigments:) Even when we change name it will be still similar to Drakan s...

Re: Jump attack input (skullsplitter) not working?
There was no AiO Patch in 2008. :D Well, patch 445++. You're right, "AiO" doesn't appear anywhere in its documentation. I guess it was the "ancestor" of the AiO patch, then? Not really an issue if you use Creative ALchemy (...) Creative ALchemy is still a must to have EAX effect...

Re: Other games similar to Drakan?
It is blurry alright. Sure, but still better than nothing. The first time I played OOTF, I hadn't bothered to read the manual first; having been spoiled by other, much more modern games in that regard. That didn't go very well. At all. Similarly to Zergem, I didn't even know about the combo attacks...

Re: Jump attack input (skullsplitter) not working?
The second occasional issue I experience; when music starts, it plays too fast or too slow. Forcing it to change by going back to menu or by some other means resolves it. I haven't been able to reproduce it in an emulator running Windows 98 and I know it's not connected to DirectMusic DLLs. Ah, now...

Re: Drakan Remake by YanGez93
Hey, how's it going? Any progress with the file hosting issue? :?: I can offer a small donation to the cause - say, up to about 50PLN/month. PM me if you're interested. Unfortunately, all that model/texture stuff is pretty much Greek to me: even though I work with 3D models daily, they're of a very ...

Re: Other games similar to Drakan?
Funny you should mention that, because it's more or less what I intended to do anyway - a completionist LP of OOTF & TAG, aiming to show off as much content as possible. A lot of said content won't fit neatly into the main LP for narrative/pacing reasons (eg. showing off the game mechanics, glit...

Re: Other games similar to Drakan?
Excuse me, but I don't often see "common" villagers riding legendary dragons. So that makes Rynn at least an un common villager then :) Huh, Rimril's place must've been quite big indeed, if a dragon could fit inside without getting hopelessly jammed in the doorways and/or corridors. (by my...

Re: Other games similar to Drakan?
Well, in OOTF Arokh sure does stare at Rynn quite a lot, especially for someone who doesn't care (and has nearly omnidirectional vision, anyway). While admiring the view, he even frequently fails to notice nearby approaching Wartoks - at least until they poke him back to his senses :D Also, I guess ...

Re: Other games similar to Drakan?
Huh, odd. I just tested with a fire crystal, and sure enough, it actually does damage to Arokh. Plenty of it, in fact - on hardest difficulty it could well prove deadly in a single hit. Developer oversight, or plot hole? One possible explanation, which seems to fit the facts so far, is that elementa...

Re: Other games similar to Drakan?
OK. That still leaves 2 unexplained mysteries from OOTF, though: 1. How did the Succubi manage to capture Arokh without damaging him in the process? Did he just faint on the spot from shock, when he saw Shilla? :roll: More seriously though, I guess he could have just surrendered when confronted with...

Re: DOOTF Multiplayer - Anyone still playing
Ok, now because I have absolutely zero experience with Drakan MP (or mostly any other MP for that matter), I could use a bit of an explanation - at least beyond what little I can infer from the manual/readme. All that I really know regarding the OOTF MP is: - it's more or less imaginary and nonexist...

Re: Other games similar to Drakan?
The Order Reborn is a good read, it will be nice reference material for my upcoming Let's Play. I have a question, though: how much of the lore contained therein is actually canon - or at least "plausibly canon" in the absence of official sources? Other than what obviously comes from eithe...

Re: DOOTF Multiplayer - Anyone still playing
Speaking of multiplayer - any chance we could get together in the "near" future for some MP action? :?: Say, around the summer holidays maybe? (not too soon, preferably - my new computer isn't quite ready yet, and the old one is rather knackered) Based on what I've seen so far, that makes ...

Nerfing the flame breath attack?
A question to our resident modders/coders: Any pointers on how to reduce the damage output of Arokh's fire breath? Not the fireballs, just the alt. attack. The flame breath's de facto instakill property, while certainly useful, detracts considerably from the potential for amusement. I'd like to drop...
