Show me those .dats!

[Vandalhart]

Is it an optical illusion with the Taru staves looking like they are oval instead of circles?

Do all rings on the staff rotate, or just the inside ones?

[Mooshywooshy]

Yeah taru staves rest at an angle xD They're still circles, only the inner 2 rotate

[Lucki]

Is there a way to loop the Tier1 nuke animations and use that as for the elemental staves (maybe Banish for Light and Kaustra for Dark)?

Yar that would be possible (Stone might be weird though xD)

Ive been messing around with the jeweled egg effect block and made a staff that just cycles through all the colors

(page will break that way --->)

Spoiler: show

Not sure if its normal that it jumps from blue to dark red, i'll check the normal egg again later.

[Kogenta]

The staves are awesome <3
But! When i use them on ranger during ranged attack animation the glowing globe doesn't disappear and just float around xD is kinda funny <3

[Mooshywooshy]

lol Yeah the /hide command that hides weapons during casting/dancing/range attack doesnt hide effects so they kinda just float around xD If you go into first person mode you'll get the navi effect

[Loire]

I would like to formally thank you greatly for this fucking amazing staff .dat

[Mooshywooshy]

No problem! : )

[ronin sparthos]

Simply brilliant.

[Darkmagi]

Thanks again for all of your awesome work. I wonder if enough people bitching could get the magian staves separate icons? It's really quite disappointing that we can't use these awesome dats for them.

[arus2001]

Really, all the final weapons need unique skins, not just the staves. :/

Ahh, that explains it then.

Omg if you can get that egg glow one to work I would TOTALLY use it for the stupid golden birdhouse instead. You'd be amazing! <3

I'll show ye!

Sorry ive been putting weapons on hold, I really want to see how Meteor works and how it recognizes how many people are casting etc.
If its all dat based (which i doubt it is) then couldnt we get some combo weapon skills/magic ala Chrono Trigger up in dis bish?

Well I cant really test it (since I am but one character lul) but from the inside of the dat it looks like this is how it works.
The main schedule calls this
Black Magic Casting
Giant Ass Schedule

Now the Giant Ass Schedule seems to be saying If one person casting it will run the schedule met1 (which is meteor with glyph in the air, single)
If two people are casting, one person will run jin1 the other will run jin2 and the result will be met2 (jin 1 is first glyph, jin2 is 2nd glyph, met2 is both glyphs and meteor)
If 3 are casting, jin1 jin2 jin3, met3 so on.

-edit-
I think its first person no glyph, then for every person that joins it runs jin1~jin5 then first person casts the meteor?
-/edit-

In the end it runs met0 which is 6 kill calls, im assuming for the 6 items in the schedule (1 for each character)
So maybe I can shorten it to 2 and make antipode? I love antipode.. I remember sitting in front of the TV like 6 inches away casting antipode over and over wanting to eat the monsters and they turned all candy blue on the candy red background : |~~~ mmm

But I am not sure of any of this because i've never seen the spell actually casted. I'll need to wait for a friend of mine to be able to log on and i'll swap stone with meteor to see what happens if we both cast stone 1

Had to remove the staves because they lagged the shit out of me and my PC is pretty good... They were nice though.

>< They are pretty rough in large numbers ;; I suppose I could revisit them in the future to take out lots of the emitted particles (as I assume thats probably the main offender)

My friend let me use his account to test Meteor and I totally dont understand it at all. I've got meteor to go off (from Aero-Aero) like twice. The timing is seemingly completely random. It either works or it doesnt so that'll be something i'll have to mess with later (but antipode is possible!)

Also found out some for-shame things that I deleted right quick, like being able to move while resting and while super jumped ><

Back to finishing Jamesy's staff and the birdhouse staff... err... egg staff :b

[Guitarman]

Oh man. moving while resting yes please. I have a mental image of 10 people running around resting while the Benny Hill theme blares.

[Darkmagi]

Clipper can do this, it was fucking hilarious having 6 people running at 800% speed moving while sitting.
