For example, without Ryuujin's double-jointed leg model that I adapted for Lucirath wwaaaayy back before I knew what gmax was...

The passionate work of a lifetime. Ninety percent of it has never been seen by anybody but Fifi and I plus a very few close friends and very likely never will. This bothers me not in the slightest.

 

As to e-publishing, since I'm more or less wholly unfamiliar with the internet, I'm not even REALLY sure what e-publishing even is, beyond the blisteringly obvious. Doubtless there are shades and degrees and different copyright applications within the framework.

 

I know he called them that, but digitigrade leg structures have the same number of joints as plantigrade leg structures.  What one might mistake for an extra leg segment bending backward is in fact a long foot.

 

I do wish you would release your work, even if it doesn't bother you not to do so.

 

E-publishing's use as suggested here is as a means of protecting your own copyrights by having a published, dated version of your work that can be used as evidence in the event that someone at some point tries to pass off your work as their own.  When there's a verifiable record of you having claimed something years before, it makes it pretty clear cut.

Side note: maybe we should have "Longest Rant So Far Award" or "The Longest Discussion/Rant" award (TLDR award) on the new vaults?

 

PHoD: I hate money, too. Don't worry. It's normal when you think about it. I think my country's slapstick comedy had it right: you need vitamin S - (S for stupidity, not hope) to be really happy. Don't think about such cases, we are too small to abolish Lord Mamon.

 

If you would be willing to share I would love to play and if you want to nit pick every bug

 

On another side note in this post, I just saw one of your VFXs (stream of particles) being used in yet unreleased module I had been playtesting for a friend. Your work is always appreciated

If you need telling just how appreciated you, your humour and your work are appreciated maybe this artwork I just came across on deviantArt will go some way to expressing it.

 

Re. EBooks. Try contacting KooKoo on the vault as he is an established author of the same with a number of titles to his credit. I exchanged messages when seeking permission to include his work in Libraria. He seems like a really OK sort of guy.

Zwerkules:- That sucks.

I've done things specifically for people "behind the scenes" which they wanted for Modules they were making (mostly I don't actually know if they got their Modules finished and used the Creatures/Placeables, but they all always at the very least said "thank you". And a Tileset, even a small one, tends to entail more work than individual Creatures. Very sad really.

 

(As to voting, we all keep saying it - we all keep muttering darkly about the lack of reaction to our Vault subs as opposed to downloads/usage of the CC... But I'm probably as guilty as anybody these days. I was very good on the Old Vault. I voted on every single thing I ever downloaded and used. Every thing. But the switch to the New Vault confused me. I did do one sweep for old stuff needing revoting upon, given that whatever comments I made about it on the Old are long gone, but I know there's still loads of stuff I haven't got back to. I occasionally find a sub that I was SURE I'd voted on and find I apparently hadn't.

I probably haven't downloaded more than three or four things from the New Vault, but I think I voted on those. Limited time has made me semi-hypocritical though, in that I keep saying "must spend an hour or two hunting round the Vault to make sure I actually have voted on all those things I think I've voted on, to be sure" yet these thoughts always beset me at home, never over here where I can do anything about it when I actually have more than ten minutes net time... I'm more or less never at the Vault except when actually posting Big Boxes of Spleens and things.

Must try harder.

 

Tchos:- I'm well aware of the number of joints in a Demoness' leg. Or a Hyena's. Or whatever. The whole digitigrade vs plantigrade thing tends to confuse some people though, so I tend to just use Ryuujin's original name for the models so that everyone knows what I'm talking about, rather than get into the technicalities of Infernal anatomy... and I ought to have mentioned the Cloven Hooves as well. She needs hooves.

NOW I could make them myself, but back then I hadn't a clue and discovering those models was epic.

 

Anyway... I have little time and a filthy, rubbery Spleen as needs posting on the Things thread...

You haven't got rid of me yet!

The information was for anyone reading, not necessarily you.  It's for the very reason that you mention that some people are confused about digitigrade vs plantigrade that I mentioned it, to hopefully alleviate some of that confusion.

Maybe we should post skeletal comparison diagrams or something?

Or just urge anyone remotely interested to examine a natural history text and observe the shapes and names of the lower leg bones in different species...

Sorry about the tardiness of this but it's been bugging me ever since.

@zwekules

I have however done a whole tileset for someone once who never used it and never even said why.

As they didn't want it, you did release it on the vault didn't you? With a note saying what happened. Oh and I've only seen one thing anywhere that contained any of my work.

 

One other thought for everyone who posts stuff on the vault, and it doesn't always work but it's worth a try, if you include a hypertext link (right click on desktop/new/create shortcut - paste the address in the wizards text box), to the vault page hosting your stuff, the people who download it no longer have the excuse that they can't find it again.

 

The final thought is that I thought "Well I've finally done it. Made something nobody wants." for a couple of days when I posted those shapes but after a couple of days there were finally 2 downloads. Ah well I suppose it's the counterpoint to Libraria which was the fastest rate of downloads of anything I've posted.
