Guild Discussion Options

Buffy and I'll be there!

[Grits]

I will be there with probably Ericka and then Jerric. I'm so looking forward to it!

The Guild Meet in EU was a blast last night! Here are some screens; and some from a previous EU Meeting!

And now one without all the UI stuff

It took a long time with us all searching through the Settings to find out how to turn it all off. Health bars, group indicators and the general UI (cross-hairs) all need to be turned off separately.

We still couldn't control the cat. or the companions.

And then on NA, we had a Pool Party instead of of a meeting.

Discussions after the NA meeting have led to structural work at the EU Guildhall.

We have access to the roof
Another view

A boardwalk joins the other balconies
And reaches the harbour wall
And it doesn't obstruct the windows

Totally unsafe without any handrails, but you're all adventurers, aren't you?

[Acadian]

Brilliant, ghastley!

[Grits]

Great job with the EU Guildhall additions, ghastley! Jensa went to check it out.



Thank you both for the Guild Meet screenies! It looks like Ever's cat tried to steal the show!

After our Guild Meet I played around with the new housing links and found that we can put links to multiple houses on a guild page. It works from both the Message of the Day and from the About Us section, as far as I can tell. You click on the link or use the prompt (I forgot what it is) to flip through on gamepad.

When we were playing around earlier it seemed that an add-on could interfere with this, possibly EHT. Also the traveling player has to have permission to visit the linked house.

So far I’ve seen this used to list one guild’s multiple crafting houses and another’s holiday themed house in addition to their guild halls. I’m quite pleased with this.

[ghastley]

We have an extra limitation, because the guild name is the same on both servers. If the MotD is not identical, the client thinks it changed when you log in on the other server. So the Guildhall link, and any others, has to be in the “about us” section, which doesn’t have that problem.

The effect of the profanity filter may not have been resolved yet, either.

[ghastley]

I took a run around the balcony boardwalk at night and it either needs handrails, or more lights. The latter may be possible …

I am also considering a high-diving board off the harbour wall for the Jerrically inclined.

[Grits]

High dive, yes please!!


I almost forgot, Jerric and Taminwe ended the evening upstairs at Jerric's favorite kahve shop and book store, Tales Resold. That was the first time I managed to wiggle the camera into place to get a picture up there.

[Acadian]

What a cozy looking spot!

[ghastley]

The dive is in, but needs steps. Otherwise you might fall off before you can jump off.

Edit: Steps have been installed and tested. They do double duty, getting you over the inner parapet from the bridge, and onto to diving board. Spare blocks added so you don't get stuck between board and tower. Tested with a tall Nord, and a short Bosmer, Step heights seem to work for the whole range of characters.

Steps and board
Depth of water

In third person, you reach at least 15 ft down. Tiddli jumped off carrying her heavy hammer and the depth didn't change. First person mode stops you at the surface.

It takes two players to get an action shot because you can't get the camera that far away on your own.

And here's a version of the book shop picture that's not centered on Jerric.

We just did the Snow Bear Plunge again at the festival, and now I want the “furnishing” that changes your animation when you jump off those places. I can’t imagine where I would put it.

[Acadian]

I haven't done the snow bear plunge since last year. Is that the animation where you grab your knees?

That’s the one! And I stll want a furnishing that triggers the fishing animation.

They just introduced customized actions, which are single-animation overrides, unlike personalities covering multiples. So it’s not unreasonable to hope that an animation trigger could become a furnishing, using existing resources. Still, equally valid ideas, like guild banners, using tabard heraldry, haven’t happened either..

Regular monthly (and annual) reminder. Guild meetings are tomorrow and Tuesday at the usual time. Bring your diving gear for the EU one, as I'm sure we'll start off with a plunge.

[Acadian]

Thanks for the reminder, ghastley. Buffy will be at the NA one. I'll remind Gosse and mALX.

[Grits]

Yikes! Is tomorrow today, or was it yesterday?


Whew, it's today. See you at the beach!
