myth II growing the community

[Jon God]

• Detail texture more of the old plugins.
• Make new (original), (innovative) and (interesting) plugins. Look at things like Clue, Senex Silvae, Quarantine, Fetchball, Dorfball, (my incomplete Tower Defense level), Mazz VI, (My incomplete RPG), WWII Recon. (And I am sure there is a lot more.) Really, the key here, is to do things that haven't already been done. Try something new.
• Make a good add campaign showing reasons to play, or return to Myth: Detail Textures, fixed gameplay bugs. For new players: Many large Total Conversions, and games worth of plugins. JINN, The Seventh God, Chimera, The Wild West, Coming of the Dark, Assassin!, Civil War, Alien Dark Tide, Bushido, Deadfall/Quarantine, Dreamseedz, Leggo, Mazz, The Fallen Levels, Special Forces 2, Star Wars, World War II, Tomb Robber, And all the others I am missing.
• Put Myth in your signatures on other forums, link to Project Magma.
• Word of mouth, get friends to play it, give them copies if you have the time. Set up a LAN at your house, play some Myth in it.
• E-Mail gaming sites like Kotaku, Joystiq, 1up, ect. about plugin releases, one day they might pick up a new story about it.
• Make some trailers, show off your mods, or other people's mods, or just plane, show the game in action.


If anyone else has any ideas...

EDIT: Added another.

Myst needs:
--a First person shooter mode.
--Tru-3D landscape (i.e. units over and under, castle siegeing anyone!?)
--More big explosions.
--More community chest... err ehmm, that's uh monopoly... though the thread starter did have some too.


I guess no one yet has cracked the encryption...

Myst needs:
--a First person shooter mode.

This would be awesome to do via the low angle camera build. Just make the camera 'follow' a unit, and stay looking in the same direction as the unit. While making the unit invisible. I' sure this would be a _lot_ harder than it sounds.

[quote="capital]"--Tru-3D landscape (i.e. units over and under, castle siegeing anyone!?)[/quote]

I would love this, though I am betting it would be really difficult to do, as it's not been done yet.

I guess no one yet has cracked the encryption...

Not that I am aware.

Encryption for what?

Man I can't believe people are still playing that old game.

Decrypting the post I left on page 1. @:)

[vinylrake]

since when do you need 'decryption' software to view ascii art?

[Melekor]

Message Decrypted!

[GodzFire]

Maybe THIS could help out a little:

Is there a reason for the decapitation?

[Point]

the decapitalization of images should be discouraged




Get Myth it Plays...

[vinylrake]

Is there a reason for the decapitation?

i didn't look into it that closely, but when I viewed the image (changing text to a fixed-width font is not 'decryption') I tried several different fonts and sizes and ended up with similar 'artifacts' - so i assume the error(s) were introduced by the image-to-ascii program that created the text.

[vinylrake]

i think this is a clearer ascii version (with no decapitation)
