I'm not shouting at anyone LEARTIN just because I used CAPSLOCK. The matter is that I'm desperate because I've never managed to create an addon, whenever I used the makeobj or pakhelper the darned compilation results in a useless file pak less than 1kb, or will not output any pak file. In fact I'm in need of a video tutorial so I can create addons for it seems there is a curse on my PC that won't let me create addons at all. I would be grateful for so any help.

Sadly, they keep themselves free of dust by being the same as in all other climates. I can affect it a little bit if I include the ground in the building, you can see at the very top right that the sidewalk is a bit under sand. I think I'll create a wayobj that changes the look of the citystreet to something more fitting, but it would need to be placed manually. Maybe it would be possible to restrict ways to climates to affect which cityroad could be used where... it's definitelly something to look into, but for now I concentrate on offering a handful of buildings, so the desert can be populated at all.

Peace be upon you, Leartin.

I had to be an art critic for a while. Do you mind?


--- Start art critic session.

Your latest screenshots are as usual, top-notch as of others that you posted before, especially that Russian cathedral.

However, I urge you to not 'show off your artistic skills' because that is the very definition of pretense, that you have, say, 80% of you do it because you wanted to contribute something which is lacking, and 20% of you do it simply to prove that you can. I urge you correct your intention so that 100% of you want to contribute something what you feel is lacking. That Russian cathedral mentioned above is one example of yours that displays these pretensions.

I sometimes exhibit these pretensions in some of my work too, so it is a widespread problem. This problem stems far back to the ancient times, where there are people like this who want to show off that they have moolah by constructing buildings and structures or systems that nobody, even the person who initiated it themselves had no idea what to use it for.

Also, proving that you can do it, to myself, is wasteful in definition, since

a) we know that we can do it too if we liked, but we do not because there are consequences to each and everything we can do and

b) that which portion of the aspects that you obtain that you use to prove that 'you can' end up being unused and left out, which is to me, unfair use of you energy, your soul and your time. You deserve to yourself full, beneficial use of your resources.

Nobody in here hoped that you produce something expensive and shocking like this. We can get by (and refer to) if you just produce something sober, solid and honest that you can maintain in yourself throughout the project.

--- End art critic session.


My only gripe in the latest screenshot is that I am disgusted at the existence of a cat statue beside the temple, and would like to 'bury it under the ground', so to say.

My reasoning is that 'why do you have to shape the stone into a cat? If you want to have a cat, find a cat!'

You should keep to the buildings and scenery, with some abstract sculptures (if ever you decide that it is worthwhile) so that it is palatable for everyone to play, regardless of beliefs.

My dear Qayyum,

please keep in mind that I do not post a screenshot of everything I create, I just do it when I want to show off and get people to tell me how great I am (  ;D ) because that is a motivational boost. Plus, by doing so I keep folks informed that I'm still active.

Sometimes I also pixel something just to show off. Yes, the russian cathedral is, strictly speaking, a waste of time. But that was made at a time where I didn't pixel for a while and even published all my unfinished work since I was not sure I would continue at all, kind of a magnus opum. And it got me back into doing stuff regularly again, so it was definitelly worth it.
These desert buildings, on the other hand, are not wasteful at all. It's not to prove that I can do them, I don't think I have to. I did them because they were lacking, and I needed some  fun distraction from the usual european stuff. I created 12 buildings within the weekend, and if I had to do another 12, it would be easier now that the style is already set and I simply have to combine the elements in different ways.This is a different and more efficient approach than what was done earlier in pak development, where pretty much each building was it's own seperate entity. I try to manage and reuse as much as possible, because the whole creation process speeds up.

Finally, I don't get paid. I'm pretty sure my art would be good enough to be sold, but I prefer to pixel for free, just so I can experiment and do what's fun, and more importantly, not do what I don't like to do. I did, and I always will do, some crazy projects that are not required, just because I wanted to do them. I tell you, I'm more productive if I get to show off from time to time, otherwise the mundane tasks might get too boring and I'd need a few months of break again.


Finally, about the cats... I updated the pyramid way back, and gave it an entrance. Part of it were cat statues, which I think make a lot of sense in ancient egypt. I then just reused them in smaller buildings (rather than creating something new from scratch - efficiency). I honestly can't see anything wrong with them, given that cats are usually not a religious symbol, and even if some religions would forbid them, it could still be a temple of another religion, eg. a temple for the god of internet videos. If that is not palateble for your believes, I'm sorry. But I won't change it - for one, because I don't want someones believes to dictate what I can and cannot do, but mostly because it's a freaking cat. If that's going to be a problem, I don't know what else will. Eg. I recently created a slaughterhouse, pretty sure that's not okay with hindus, guess the whole chain needs to go, right?

They were in ancient times though, as they hunted pests like rats, they even were exported to the rest of the world because of that. That one you drawn is Bastet. Diana, goddess of the Moon and hunt, could transform in a cat. Celtic mythology and much of other "pagan" religions of middle age also had cat goddesses. Witches are seen with cats because of that, they were Celtic priestesses. Cats became the figure of evil when the Catholic Church could no longer tolerate other beliefs to unify Europe in a single religion.

Thanks for the history lesson, but I'd differentiate between "being a religious symbol" and "being related/used in religion".
Let's change it from cat to lion. Is a lion a religious symbol? I would say no, but it's certainly used in many religions. For example, the egyptians had Maahes, hindus have Narasimha, and even Christians have Mark the Evangelist. Even so, if you see a statue of a lion anywhere, say, at the main station in Linz, or on that bridge in Budapest, or at the forbidden City in China - you don't think of a religious context.
Let's get ridiculous, shall we? The symbol of Romuva religion is a tree. A world-tree, like Yggdrasil. Why did Quayyum place that symbol in front of one of his buildings? oô

Vladki

Everyone, please do not start religious wars here. I had enough when Leartin (or someine else?) have drawn the very nice wayside shrine, crucifix and ancient druid stones. And we almost had another 30 years war of protestants against catholic.

I personally do not mind any religious objects, especially if they have an artistic value by themselves. Keep up the good work Leartin.

For those who are offended by religious symbols of other religions (dead or alive), you have the freedom to delete the offending pak file, so that it does not appear in your game. And what would be even better, you could be encouraged to paint your own religious symbol. A mosque with minaret would be equally nice addition to the desert landscape.

As a kid, I played some Caesar, but even back then it was not my cup of tea. I was more into Settlers and Anno.
I have Pharao and Cleopatra (and a bunch of other games of that type) on Steam, but I don't really take the time to play them - I know they are great, I watched some videos while pixelling, but I just don't feel much nostalgia for them.

Peace be upon you Leartin (and to anyone else after my last recent post),


I am sorry if I offended you from my recent post. I think maybe I should have worded even better. There are some matters that is unexplained here, and I fear that what is unexplained will go too far, so I have to give it a shot. I am sorry if my shot was way off the mark.

Leartin, this is why I am wary of religious symbols. Even my own religion strongly discourages symbols, although you see them people themselves impart symbols to religion, which I am very upset with and 'wish to bury it to the ground' so to say. I did not wish to use even them, myself, to 'show off' my own religion. If I wanted to know what is the matter with my or others' religion, I will go for books and people who are involved in it. In the end, these symbols serves to divide people. To me, religion, in the end, is for yourself, not to show off to others. I think others have said it before, so it is short and sweet.



The tree in front of my desert skyscraper building is not trying to be a Romuva religion symbol. It is only and just a wooden flora.

Hey, I did not think of that before. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, but I would define a mosque differently. Any building could be a mosque, for instance. It is not so particular about architecture, given that you know which bearing is to Mecca, and given that the building is really clean inside that you can walk on the floor with your bare feet and you will see nothing offensive or riveting.

I fear that I have diverted too much from the original topic. I am sorry, again, and hope you are still here to post screenshots of pak.192 comic here, Leartin.

That's the same for any place of prayer, and yet for a game, you'd probably want a mosque that fits what people expect a mosque to be, not what it really is.

Sure, once there is something I want to show. Currently working on tropical buildings, using indonesian references, and I need some time to wrap my head around these strange roofs.

Asdfe

Nice to see that progress continues on my favourite pakset! I like the Russian church and desert buildings. While I understand why some have issue with certain buildings, I personally don't mind. I won't go to deep into it, but while I would personally not worship at some (or most) of the religious structures in the game due to theological objections (which I repeat that I will not go into), I don't feel offended or otherwise discriminated against by their inclusion in game. Anyway, good work!
How do you know what you would know if only you knew what you don't know now?

Leartin

So... the current outlines of pak192.comic clash a bit with the new transparency feature. So I was experimenting a bit with not using them and instead making heavy use of transparency.
It's astonishing - almost looks as if it was a completely different game!
