Shhhhh... Dont' tell anyone about this but I'm giving you all a sneak peek at something that a very talented designer has thrown together. Now, even I don't know what it's for yet or if it'll even be released to the public anytime soon but be sure to keep an eye out for these little buggers!

SPN/Unzipped Freebies!

Sorry I don't have a better example but this is one of the nicer things that is now set as free in the Unzipped/SPN main store. There are lots of casual/grunge clothes for free and even grunge armor for L$ 150 and under. So, drop on by and if you need help finding something then just let me know!

Reactor Cannon 3

[10:41] Thomus Keen: oh hey I need you to mess around with the rc3 dated 4 days ago (this is the one without all the new ammo yet)
[10:41] Thomus Keen: need to make sure there aren't any major bugs with it
[10:42] Slarevok Tendandes: alright. will do. I'm a bit laggy on this comp. So, perhaps it'll reveal what might happen in high lag instances
[10:43] Thomus Keen: all of the new features of the gun, you'll have to click on it to access them (the commands are always the same as the blue-menu options)
[10:43] Thomus Keen: it may be difficult to sort everything out without documentation, but shouldn't be too bad
[10:44] Thomus Keen: and there are a lot of small things, like when you change the fx colors, they do not affect the rocket-tips and MODE-light
[10:44] Thomus Keen: the "mode light", indicates what mode the gun is in, albeit RP & Fun Mode
[10:45] Thomus Keen: NON-RP mode shows a blinking red light, this alerts GM's of RP sims the gun is not set to RP mode
[10:45] Thomus Keen: in RP mode, the menu's change, and reload's are required as there is an imposed ammo limit of 99 etc.
[10:45] Thomus Keen: basically only the RP ammo is available in that mode
[10:46] Thomus Keen: another feature is, let's say you have bullets selected, when you go into velocity, it changes the velocity of "bullets", you simply need to have the "type" of ammo selected, to adjust their velocity independently
[10:46] Thomus Keen: there's really far too many things to mention here, not even covering the TCS system
[10:47] Thomus Keen: the goal of TCS, is to have "independent damage models" for things
[10:47] Thomus Keen: i.e. the gun has hitpoints, the terra vehicles will have their own hitpoints etc.
[10:47] Thomus Keen: this means if someone takesout all the hitpoints on the gun, it becomes disabled for 30 seconds
[10:48] Thomus Keen: it'll even begin to smoke more and more at 40% damage and below
[10:48] Thomus Keen: tcs gives the weapon "out-of-box" combat metering
[10:49] Thomus Keen: and is compatible with all other weapons, but it is of course, more ideally suited for weapons with TCS built-in
[10:49] Thomus Keen: do note that the gun does have regen
[10:49] Thomus Keen: and the gun does come with a shield for people having trouble spotting the meter, and would rather use something that is more easy to spot from a distance
[10:50] Thomus Keen: DPS is in this gun, like all my other new guns, except, that 1. it's disabled by default 2. can be toggled
[10:51] Thomus Keen: oh yeah, the "automatic" fire mode with 60cal and musket ammo, do keep in mind that it's "full auto"
[10:51] Thomus Keen: means it fires as long as you're holding down fire
[10:52] Thomus Keen: the code in this update is all new, it's been completely rewritten
[10:52] Thomus Keen: even my new advanced weapons script wasn't quite advanced enough
[10:53] Thomus Keen: a couple more thing to note
[10:53] Thomus Keen: there are 66 colors for fx
[10:53] Thomus Keen: and a seperate color selection for lasers
[10:53] Thomus Keen: when you change colors, the light and laser aim will NOT change unless they are on
[10:54] Thomus Keen: this allows you to have different colors for the laser aim and light
[10:54] Thomus Keen: this gun WILL holster properly
[10:54] Thomus Keen: just use /55 h and /55 d
[10:55] Thomus Keen: to draw and holster
[10:56] Thomus Keen: in the menu for mode >, you'll see only 60cal and musket will autofire
[10:58] Thomus Keen: in non-rp mode, there is no reload, it's unlimited fire
[10:58] Thomus Keen: when a gun gets this complex, it needs lots of testing
[10:59] Thomus Keen: the next test version will have some of the new ammo in it
[10:59] Thomus Keen: I have roughly 20 new ammo designed for it
[11:00] Thomus Keen: not just fun ammo, but useful combat stuff
[11:00] Thomus Keen: like streaker bullets
[11:00] Thomus Keen: the streaker bullets actually leave a streak behind them making it easy to see where projectiles are going
[11:01] Thomus Keen: it's VERY complex having a single gun with this many features and ammo operate in 2 different modes
[11:02] Slarevok Tendandes: lol. ya think? Many guys can't even make a gun with limited ammo work right and look at what you're doing.
[11:03] Thomus Keen: lol yeah, well I try to raise the bar each time I update =)
[11:04] Thomus Keen: oh yeah, the hud is being completely redesigned, refined, and hopefully, better than any previous hud

Snowy Suit For A Blue Christmas?

Well, Hya has done it yet again. This is a group only freebie over at Silent Sparrow and the group is closed to applications while freebies are out but this is just one of many good reasons to join the group. I'll try to have a better shot of the suit later but I also wanted to get a little bit of a shot at Lucia Cyr's place called Throne. It's a vampiric/medieval styled sim that she is remodeling at the moment. I'll be sure to let y'all know more about it when it's closer to being done. Take care and have fun out there! Keep it frosty!

Snowy Suit: $0L (Group Freebie)

Armor Revolution!

First off let me say that I'm sorry for having been away for so long but what with Christmas and all I had very little time to be on here but now that I am I'd like to let y'all know that Thomus Keen of Steampowered Nuts (SPN) has recently told me about some of the new armor that he's been working on. So, keep an eye on this crazy man and see what all he can come up with!

Chat Log From Thomus:

[16:33] Thomus Keen: well as it stands, looks like 5 new armor sets (male + female), including new boots for all sets, and these next armor sets coming out are my best ever
[16:33] Thomus Keen: spent a ton of time making all these new custom textures and it's wicked looking
[16:37] Thomus Keen: well we've taken it up a major notch, you might be interested to know, that one of the new armor sets is an all new line we're introducing, it's our Tesla I armor =)
[16:38] Thomus Keen: and these new sets are way better than any of my old ones
[16:40] Thomus Keen: well it's hard to describe, you haven't seen armor like this before, it's INSANE cool
[16:40] Thomus Keen: it has electrical energy on the armor
[16:41] Thomus Keen: and instead of 8 preset colors for the FX, there are now 66 presets
[16:42] Slarevok Tendandes: geeze... might as well have added a rainbow effect to make it usable for clowns...... lol. that's just insane though but is the Tesla effect similar to that which is used in my eyes?
[16:42] Thomus Keen: I've enhanced it since
[16:42] Thomus Keen: rescripted it for realism
[16:43] Thomus Keen: it alternates between glow, opacity, direction etc.
[16:43] Thomus Keen: before it was just set one way and animated
[16:46] Thomus Keen: I seriously think you'll flip when you see this armor
[16:46] Thomus Keen: it's not like any of my other armor, and it is by far my best armor work to date
[16:46] Thomus Keen: see I have a LOT of respect for Tesla, so to me, it was very important to make sure this armor does the name justice
[16:51] Thomus Keen: oh yeah, new weapons, new airship, and a new bike (steampunk chopper) as well =)

Wicked Snows

So, I'm going through my landmarks today and I find one for Deviant Kitties. I go there and the first thing I see is several snowmen running in terror from a snowman eating snow monster but after looking to my left I saw this awesome picture and thought to share it with y'all for your own holiday "cheer". Anyhow, have fun and watch out for the blades on that thing!
