  Thinking about having a text-based tattoo?

I'm planing to get another tattoo soon, and as I tend to aim towards meaning more then esthetics's, I tend to pick text based ones.

To get that little bit of beauty in your text tattoo you need to pick a good font, and this can be a hassle. I didn't feel like browsing thousand and thousand of fonts on-line, clicking a million times to see the font preview, then repeating to get to another font. I then wrote a little program that pretty much did this for me, then saved the image on my computer. Idea is that I'll write a little slide show program, where you can "quick tag" tattoos as you go along, so that you later can have a better look at the once you liked at first glances.

Everyone with a little bit of programming knowledge, in almost any language, can do this in a few hours. What I'm wondering is if it would be interesting to other people. If so, I can spend a bit longer on the user interface, and make it a bit more customizable, then release it.

Features so far is scanning all the fonts on http://www.1001freefonts.com/ and generating an image with the text of your choice. Reason to why I picked that web page is cause that was the first one I found, and I thought it was easy enough coding against their "custom preview text" feature. The slide show app is yet to be made.

If no one answers I'll assume that there is no interest in the app and keep functionality hard codedBig Grin

I reckon I do not have the time to be online and playing anymore as my wife also departed from online gaming.

Life projects and the kid brought a whole new dimension to the meaning of time management. Nonetheless, there are good friends kept in memory from all the IN ages until IN-X.

Basically where are you guys and gals and what are you up to?

Memories haven’t departed yet, as I am, ‘hopefully’, not yet diagnosed with Alzheimer. :lol:

IN1, IN2, Phantasya, IN-X, too much time following the community to say either an hello or a goodbye … Wink

Every single night without fail I leave my macro running and within an hour I get disconnected. But during the day I leave it on all day and it stays fine. Its like it knows when I wont be there to reconnect cause of sleep and server says, PERFECT, and severs my connect. Does this happen to anyone else?

  Personal summon pets

Okay, I get the idea, pets can gain stats, thats about it. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

How about "personal" pets that are attached to the character.

Of course we could use elements to vaguely give reference to a skill.

(Wisp is the ideal pet I think for this task, weak, and magic.)

All summons "skills" are based on their level.

Levels ranging from 1-4 or higher, 1 skill each level.
Experience gained either by direct attack or relative to position during time of combat

(SP)
Earth = 1 Minor Heal, 1 Magic Reflect cast, 1 Major Heal, 1 Ressurect

Fire = 1 Explosion, 1 FS, 1 Max Strength (SP) 1 Summon Fire Elemental (SP)

Wind = 1 Max Dexterity (SP), 1 Corp Por, 1 Evade vs any spell of choice(SP), 1 teleport (SP)

Water = 1 Major Heal, 1 Max Intelligence (SP), 1 Summon Water Elemental (SP), Hell I don't know what else to put for this one.

(SP) Special Notes

All summons have a cooldown time for each skill based upon level.

Level - 1 10 Minutes
Level - 2 25 Minutes
Level - 3 35 Minutes
Level - 4 1 Hour

OR

Skill regeneration can be based on gems corresponding to preferred element.

This will give a lot more need for gems and can produce a huge economy for them. Reduce the amount of gems sold by stores and make players rely 95% on random loot drops. Of course the gems drops could be in favor of elemental choice, or it could be in favor 80% and the other 20% would be random, giving more reason to hunt for those gems.

Commands for skills would be coded for user input.

I think its a cin.get?

Cin.get skills
cin.get 1,2,3,4

Feeding your summon is a must. Food is abundant so there is no excuse for your pet to die.

Pets can either be bought, won in tourneys, extremely rare drops or only tier 10 monster drops, etc.

Experience is gained by either direct combat or position relative to combat.
Levels can be obtained by not only experience, but a secondary requirement of gems per level. We could make a new gem, make it a rare drop, boom.

Pet distance can work two ways really.

While running, pets stay directly behind their owners. When idle or when not moving so many tiles per second, the pet roams random or according to battle.

Pet is not allowed to leave owner's side.

Non combat specific elements will not engage in combat even when provoked.

Combat summons will on the contrary, perhaps give them some sort of incentive to fight back, maybe the ability to wield a weapon, or etheral weapon that does 1/4-1/2 normal damage.

Summons can be healed using ONLY the veterinary skill. This gives more incentive to train that useless skill.


(SP) Skills

All "MAX" stat skills are based upon level.

Level - 1 3 seconds
Level - 2 5 seconds
Level - 3 7 seconds
Level - 4 9 seconds

*Max strength will completely replenish all hp (invulnerability till time expires)*
*Max dexterity will give +50% evasion to ALL attacks physical and magical*
*Max intelligence will completely replenish all mana (no mana loss until time expires)

Elemental summons

Fire and water elemental summons by pets are granted unlimited mana for the duration of their presence, a magic reflect spell (already casted upon summon)

Duration for summons is based upon user's animal lore and taming ability.

(Ill give figures for that if this is accepted as a pursuable idea)

Teleport

Teleporting will only be allowed once every 2-5 hours, depends on suggestions from others. Teleporting will allow one free teleport to any destination of choice, either by coordinate input or a gui with "click = coordinate" effect.

Evasion of spell choice

User predetermines (can be changed according to environment) by input or gui selection for single awarded evasion.

All skills are abound by their global cooldown times unless otherwise specificed.


So, give some kudos or some raping.

*Summons could be used during champion events and summons are not allowed to attack eachother or their owners during those events*
