Event: Save Paragon base building contest! Anyone can help!

[Quinch]

I don't know what you used to have to do, but since a month or two ago, you can hold the control and shift keys to move items vertically and rotate them.

[eabrace]

As of late last year, you can move elements up and down without the need for the magic desks.  Same update also gave us the ability to rotate to angles other than 0/90/180/270.

[Flying Code Monkey]

Awesome. Thanks.

[Aquashock]

That method of building up's never worked for me.

The other way is to use floor tiles and safes.

[Red_Valkyrie]

One thing you have to do is place the item first, then use 'Shift' to move vertically, 'Ctrl' to move horizontally on the same plane, and 'Alt' to rotate. But these don't work while placing an item, only after it's been placed.

A lot of the base builder do some really remarkable things, compared to what they do, I'm a tinkerer.

[Hendrake]

I've been putting it off, but I'll try to get demorecords of my two main virtue bases: Silver Aegis and Hero Force - Delta Destroyers.

The latter has an 800 seat auditorium if you want to use that for a movie theater.

Didn't abandon y'all, just became incredibly busy! Will catch up on replies tomorrow after work.

The missus (@chase white) and I (@des tructive) have done some nice setups for "urban" bases, including streets with houses on them, a bus, etc. We're on EU time, though, so it might be best to arrange for a meeting via message here.

Also, you might want to shout into the "Base Builders Inc." global channel, and the facebook group. There's always a lot of people ready to show off their stuff there. Try to get your fingers on @war base and @eldormain. They're just wow.

[Ozmosis]

Got a base on Protector that is on the biggest possible plot size available. I think I'm a decent (tho not necessarily great) basebuilder, so if you guys want access to go film it your more than welcomed. Anything to help the cause!

[Arcana]

Tangential note: for base builders who haven't heard about it, because demorecords now have free camera control, you can now save your bases permanently with demorecords: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=297561 .  Even after the game shuts down, you will still be able to play those demorecords back and give people tours of your base or make videos of it.

Also, to address an earlier question, you can't demorecord base editing.  Well, you can, but on playback the base will remain static: you'll just fly around apparently doing nothing.

[Daire]

I have several fabulous bases, but alas I am not a person who can video record the bases. If someone can do this, please contact me at @Potato-Head (in-game) or hgcoco@yahoo.com

[Mr. Wentworth]

Since we can now demorecord bases and do those wonderful fly-throughs with the free camera, it seems that anyone that is unable to film their own base could still send a demorecord file to a videographer for filming. That makes it so much easier to include everyone that wants to participate and doesn't require everyone to coordinate log-in times for filming.

[Electro Kitty]

If anyone wants to video The Wonder League SG base on Defiant server, give me a shout in game @Electro Kitty or  @EK 

The Wonder Base has taken me around 5 years to build, we have the usual rooms...teleport/workshops/hospital etc but the rooms i like most are the ones hidden round the back...Frankenstein's laboratory, the terra cotta army room, tennis court, church, view out to space, bowling alley, harbour, beach bar and volleyball room. 

The editor has infuriated me and i've taken many breaks along the way, but something always draws me back to create more.

Such a shame all the hours of work will be lost soon

Any advice on gaining a boat load of prestige over the next month?  I've only gotten 60,000 prestige over the past three years of playing (less than an hour a week though).  I'd love to try my hand at base building, but have only had the opportunity to build a three room "micro-base" with nothing in it.

A larger boatload of Inf? You can convert Inf to Prestige at a very terrible rate (1mil Inf = 2k Prestige).

[TimtheEnchanter]

Still been no response on this thread from the OP?

[altorv]

How do I enter this contest? You were really unclear how we get the base videos to you. Do I demorecord? real video? What, it's really frustrating especially since late entry and I have no idea how to get the video for you to see. Am I the only one confused here?

[Angelus Animi]

I have friends asking to join in this as well.  Where do we submit videos?

[TimtheEnchanter]

I think we need to pick up the ball on this one if it's still going to be done. The person who posted it hasn't even logged into the boards since the 3rd, and considering the deadline is tomorrow, I think it's safe to assume he/she isn't coming back.

[Angelus Animi]

Ok so we need some guidelines.  Where people are submiting their videos and in what format or if it will just be the raw demorecord.  Should we also push back the deadline since there seems to be more intrest?
