Paragon Chat FAAAQ

[JanessaVR]

For the ICON team, my money is on them having done what I suggested something like a year and half ago.  A server where we can all login together and chat, fly around, etc.  No powers, no missions, no enemies, but the community can come together online again.  That's my bet on what they've done.

Called it.  8)

Ah. You're rather presented as part of the team as such, though. And I suspect that anyone looking to nail them team will find someone who says they "tend to care a lot less about US law" associating with the team a nice bit of character assassination.

However, I'm unaware of a law that would make associating with an Argentinian a crime.  It is perfectly legal for a non-US citizen residing outside the United States to say they do not care about US law, because US law doesn't generally apply to their activities.  I'm sure there are a lot of French people willing to say they tend to care a lot less about US law, but as much as we'd like to, we can't arrest them all.

Not even a narcoleptic one?

Three days before:

I see two possibilities:

1.  Animation engine.  Basically a super demo system where a small engine connects to the I24 client and allows players to script up action they can then experience themselves.  Kind of like a mission architect, but with only hand waving.  Good for machinima editors if nothing else.

2.  Super Sims.  Basically, a MMO server that can talk to (a possibly modified) I24 client and allow people to see each other.  Essentially, multiplayer Icon.  Still mostly all you could do is emote at each other, but heck all MMOs actually start here anyway.

Technically speaking, I called it twice.   8) :roll: ;D :o

Because I needed to be visualizing Leandro doing a tango while grunting the words to Roxanne.

The answer hasn't changed since the last time Codewalker answered this question from you, less than 24 hours ago.

My apologies.  I completely missed his answer previously.

Any insinuation that I would even consider the merest possibility of even considering to do such a thing, is a scurrilous lie and a slur upon my good name!

Now you know it's poisoned. Poisoning cookies is a little beyond the pale, but donuts?

You got the memo about me being evil right? Right? ;)

Yeah, you got it... Maybe.

Question: For those of us who only have Icon (thus an Icon modified version of i24), and not a raw unmodified version of i24, can we still install and use Paragon Chat with the Icon modified version of i24?  Or is it something designed to work/work best when used with an unmodified version of i24?

Yeah, I'm asking since when I installed Icon I didn't backup i24 on the grounds that I never expected something besides Icon to come out that'd require the i24 stuff, thus having a copy probably was a waste of space (sorry!).

[Codewalker]

Icon does not make permanent changes to the I24 install; it leaves the original files intact. Paragon Chat can happily work side by side with Icon, and there are some tentative plans for future versions of Icon to have features that can interoperate with Paragon Chat.

There is no reason to have two separate copies of I24. Both projects are designed to build on top of it and treat the original data as read-only.

Man, I wish these forums (fora?) had a "like" button.  I hope you realize the vast, churning, engulfing WAVES of gratitude all this -- every single damn post -- sends coursing through all the levels of my being.

And I am more than certain that I am not the only one.

Indeed, you are not! It makes my heart glad that people far more clever than I are still plugging away at this. :D

Lyc~

I'm so excited for this but now I'm freaking out because I've lost touch with all my SG/RP friends.

Would it be possible to get a subforum for people to create threads for SGs looking for members to to chime in? Or like a per-server subforum for SGs to send out their smoke signals and Bat Signals to find their old friends?

Yes, a "survivors" board to re-unite "families" after the natural disaster of the shutdown.

Do you need a subforum where you can be alone for a few minutes?

Awesomesauce. It would be awesome if other folks could see spawns from a "Game Masters" local client.
