I can probably do it while I'm at work tomorrow. By the way are you using the win 8 vers of VS or the "for desktop" version? (Desktop one would probably work if you're using the other one).

You are a traitor and a member of the rebel alliance!

Which modelling program are you using as well?

Do or do not, there is no try.

That's too bad. Internet is a rough place.

You could always donate it to Jkhub's server upkeep...assuming you don't hate all of us...

Deviance can take the heat, and I believe he and I have an understanding now. I think he'd be comfortable with being mentioned as an example. (If not, then I'd be more than happy to apologize to him, but I'm sure he can handle it). I'm certainty not blaming him for all hostilities, if that's what you read into my post, just as an example of one of many that caused the reaction it has. I'm not sure what you mean by "everyone involved in the debate took a more or less equal part"? This is what the PM system is for, there's rarely a need for a staff member to rebuke someone in public. Make everyone read the Sermon on the Mount? This is just part of human nature, not sure there's really a lot you can do other then reminding everyone to just be a nice person.

I can teach you new unique coding practices to increase your line count.

Long legal garbage are things no one wants to read or understand. It is part of what has made America so obsessed with its sue happy culture. I don't want that here. Simple, short rules are best. If someone is struggling to understand "don't be a jerk", then a staff member can explain that to them over PM and if they continue to ignore it they can be warned/banned, until they get it. We did. Several times. And he raged at us and took offense to our calm polite constructive criticism and helpful suggestions. Eventually though he got to hear the sharp side of our tongues (or rather fingers) and he finally snapped into it and realized he was being a dick. So yeah, I think most of us agree with you.

EDIT: Huh that's wierd...it erased my post. What I was trying to say was that you should get on the JACoders irc and you should be able to get some help there. Also google has a lot of tutorials for how to use Github, that will probably explain it better then any of us can.

I think part of your experience was soured after members like Deviance (he's cool now B) ) when he first joined made most of us grumble a bit. A lot of the members have had to endure incessant, annoying requests accompanied with rage when no one wanted to do their request for them and their advice was ignored. These types of members didn't seem to understand that everyone on here is here because of their own choice and have no obligations to help anyone, and if they aren't interested in a project/model/skin etc... that is well in their right to ignore requests for help. As a result, when a newbie enters the forums requesting (or rather demanding) things without seeming to contribute anything of their own, understandably most of us are annoyed with them. I think a few of us have become hardened and less friendly as a result. Just so you understand a bit better. I agree, a lot of people here could be a little more polite and helpful for sure; however, being 'offended' is something that person chooses to do and very much uncontrollable by anyone except the 'offended' person. As an example, I could be offended when no one wants to help me DDOS Caelum's servers, and take offense when others claim that such activities are 'rude and illegal' and proceed to blame the community for a 'hostile' atmosphere, when really the problem is me, not them. But basically I think we already have that rule about being helpful and friendly, "Don't be a jerk". I think most of the people on here are capable of being mature and friendly without needing an additional rule to tell them to do so. So, in conclusion, no I don't think we need a new rule; however, yes some of us could stand to be a little friendlier.

Basically something that CrimsonStrife said is what it boils down to in my opinion Therefore, if a model is being made of a copyrighted work there is a risk of the copyright holder taking someone who makes such a thing (or endorses it, or participates in its distribution) to court and suing them. This is ultimate basis as to why sites like Youtube have to immediately take down videos when they receive take down notices, whether or not the claim is legitimate, simply because the risk that it is legitimate could mean massive amounts of lawsuit money and so forth. The area of fanart isn't really grey area, it just is risky since it is dependent on another entities opinion. If the copyright holder approves of your works, no risk, you're all good. If they don't though, you lose.

Yay. Kyle can be glad now.

Lol. Mousedroid escaped the destruction of the Death Star. I knew that devious little droid was resourceful.

What? The stormtrooper is amazing at playing that keyboard.

You're probably right, not sure an autoconvert tool would make them look realistic. You can ignore me and my strange ideas.

I like those lights. You planning on changing the lighting a bit though to make it match up? Right now it looks like you've got some blobby light entities that are producing light from nowhere.

Oh I figured you might make some kind of 3d Model > 2d isometric package converter tool or something.

Maybe use some models for the lights?

I know, but a lot of the modellers and so on are using 3rd party programs like Blender or Maya, and that's not really going to change.

Room looks so more awesome now. My only concern is that the lights are obnoxiously big and more suited to stadium lights, rather than the cool small 'modern' looking lights. Almost like you have two conflicting styles clashing, one part modern one part traditional clunky starwars technology.

The Unity and Unreal community has a bunch of artists you might be able to persuade to help you out, I'm not sure where the best place to start out with that would be though.

Lol. Sorry man, but this is just some funny engrish. Translation: I'm so desperate I've started recruiting NPCs to skin models, and create maps for my church. Sounds like an evil conspiracy to kidnap swimsuit models, and have advanced AI skin them in the name of God. This could be a sweet mod. Someone needs to make this. I can see it now: "Help Rosh save his supermodel girlfriend from the the clutches of the Noskinitarians before its too late!" Spoiler: Kyle is God.

Although I'm interested, I don't have the time to help you right now eezstreet. Sorry.
