If there are any more I will add it to the playlist.
Please rate, it helps.

Thanks, ultifd! Now I have something a lot easier to show my friends.

No problem.
Too bad they kinda suck. $:-\$

Great! I'll update the initial post!

I think I have watched almost all of the videos, and they look awesome. I feel a little guilty for not rating, but this is because it annoys the hell out of my facebook friends. My YouTube is hooked up to my facebook, so everything I do shows up on people's feeds. It gets annoying, then, that half of the entries are mine, from YouTube.

Seriously, though! I could spend all day on YouTube.

I see now.

I find it weird that you associate your Glest Youtube profile with your Facebook though. You should have just associated it with one that isn't associated with Glest.
That's one of the problems with Facebook.

As a side note, whoever did the particles for the Harpy and Dark Mage did a good job, judging from the videos. Those are just the ones I noticed; I'm not dissing any of the others.

Thanks for the complement.

I would like to discuss what versions we are aiming for this mod to be for. There is a poll to go along with this (for the silent majority

). I really like the particle effects titi is doing, so we may want to work for MegaGlest. I also think that GAE has a lot of features that could really make Dark Magic gameplay very interesting. I especially like the aura options we still have as possibilities. An example of its use would be that units which are built in the Oblivion Portal have this aura.

The third option would be to wait for a while and release a final version when MegaGlest and GAE are merged. This gives us the best of both worlds, I think, and would also give us time. In the circumstance that we finish before then, we can complete Dark Magic and work on something else (whatever that may be). This is my favorite option because it gives us time to work.

ElimiNator · « **Reply #957 on:** 23 February 2010, 01:07:33 »

I say Mega_Glest, There in no way of knowing if GAE will merge with Mega and I think the particles are cool!
(Also Mega_Glest will get most of the stuff that GAE has eventually.)

John.d.h · « **Reply #958 on:** 23 February 2010, 01:08:45 »

I'd say first we need a vanilla release, and then if you want to add in some GAE/MegaGlest features, be my guest (it would all be XML stuff anyway).

I don't know about everybody else, but I'm ready to put this thing to bed.

ultifd · « **Reply #959 on:** 23 February 2010, 01:20:46 »

I'd say MegaGAE...Mega/GAE. That's what I voted for at least...

New* video
shows some closeups* (kinda) for Harpies, Morlocks, Dark Mages, Shadow Walkers, and some Imps...

Modman, you said that

Notice that you can hear water sounds earlier, before you were attacked. This is aï»¿ bug in Glest!

Well, when is that? Can you please post the time when it happened?ï»¿ Cause I only noticed the skipping of the music...both when I was playing the game and watching the video... Thanks.

jda · « **Reply #960 on:** 23 February 2010, 03:39:29 »

Both GAE and MegaGlest are (should be?) backwards compatible with vanilla Glest. So I guess that would be the best first choice.
Later, add some XML coding modifications, as John.d.h mentioned.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #961 on:** 23 February 2010, 15:33:12 »

I think that it should be released for all engines.

titi · « **Reply #962 on:** 23 February 2010, 15:36:12 »

I think you can add megaglest features without problems.They will simply not show up in normal glest, but there should be no parsing errors.
And especially for DarkMagic the new particle possibilities will be a big benefit!

But don't use black particles in shots and splashes, they will probably look a bit ugly in normal glest ( test it! )

ultifd · « **Reply #963 on:** 28 February 2010, 00:40:10 »

So is it Vanilla Glest or MegaGAE?

Wait what's vanilla...glest?

-Archmage- · « **Reply #964 on:** 28 February 2010, 00:54:37 »

I seriously doubt that there will be a MegaGAE, they will probably stay separate trade features like they've been doing.

Vanilla Glest is Glest, while vanilla being a absolutely delicious flavor, I believe 'Glest' should be called 'Plain Glest' or 'Original Glest', Original Glest is the most clear of all terms and that is my favorite term!

As far as I know Modman hasn't decided yet...

Moodman? He's in the mood?
Joking, and what stuff would actually be changed/different if DM was for Orig Glest, or Megaglest, or GAE?

jda · « **Reply #968 on:** 28 February 2010, 20:40:29 »

A few infos on GAE (MegaGlest probably has some info like this too, somewhere): https://docs.megaglest.org/GAE
(I don't know how up to date / outaded this is though, GAE is still being actively developped).

BTW, "vanilla" is the usual geek-slang for "original/plain/source project".

John.d.h · « **Reply #969 on:** 28 February 2010, 20:52:17 »

At this point, a MegaGlest release for Dark Magic would likely just have more particle effects. A release for GAE would probably have a ton of attack effects that would be a heck of a lot of work and make it unbalanced with Magitech.

@Modman: You incorporated the Gargoyle and the new idle Harpy animation, right?

This is true. I'm already looking into new particle effects for a couple of units (the Gargoyle, Sorceress and the Gods Bane), and these effects should be small work amount, high payoff. The benefit is that the particles have no effect on the strength of the units, so we can add all the effects we want without worry about balance (graphics usage, though, is a different story).

I really am excited, though, to add a few GAE features into Dark Magic; auras and leeching for example.

Yup.

A new version of Dark Magic is available (uploading ATM). From now on, I think it would be better to have separate downloads for all of the little stuff (icons, mostly), and then have a major release which collects them all periodically, for the lazy of us.

Download Dark Magic 10.2.28

I also seem to recall a change or two to the readme, so modders may want to grab that too, just to be on the safe side.

Download Readme 10.2.28

ultifd · « **Reply #971 on:** 1 March 2010, 02:14:03 »

Sweet, downloading, and then I might test it out.

Wait, for the Dark Elder why do you have 2 sets of models... ???

Oops. There should only be one set. But this should not affect the gameplay, just the download size.

I see, good to hear.

Which one(s) are actually used though?

Oh yeah, you should update the first page if you have time.

modman · « **Reply #974 on:** 1 March 2010, 02:28:41 »

Wait...I just made a biggie. Some of the animations aren't actually used! Sorry titi, I will fix this ASAP.

When I fix it, the download will just be the dark_elder, so don't worry too much.

//EDIT: Done. I hope it doesn't crash (I can't try it out on this computer).

Download Dark Elder 10.2.28b
