By the way - does the bar have a wicked sense of humour or why did it just dispense me the 10 rank points I was missing to 666? :lol

Probably just your imaginaton...

[goodies]I think that maybe we will finally be able to script our own bosses...

And then have to go through all of the pain that Mike went through, trying to make the bosses only have 1 weak point, not 30...[/goodies]

[goodies]Yeah, I'm hoping the thing alows you use your own image for the character, not just a face, but an actual character, I have the awesome idea for a giant arachnid.[/goodies]

It's not just you! It did change!

[goodies] And now my wish has been granted! The custom tiles weren't there before! [/goodies] :)

This also means Hikari can have his backwards-running crazy guy.[/goodies]

[goodies]I figured out how to do this a while ago... if you put a GeneralTiles.tim in you Bitmaps folder without a spritesheet, it overrides the normal .tim. In fact, I have a WIP backwards version of the DROD tiles that works purely off that fact.[/goodies]

I'm sure Schik is laughing at us all right now because he changed it a couple of months ago, and we're only smart enough to realise it now. He seems like he'd do that. :)

No, no, no. I'm laughing because I changed it a week ago. But I'm not laughing all that hard, because... why would you go back and look at it after all this time?

[goodies] I thought it a good idea to bump this, seeing that the evidence points to one of the characters that got blackened out to be Citizen 3 indeed. Now for the other two, any ideas?[/goodies]

I should be fair, though. Wait fourteen more percent in TCB progress, and I'll tell you what it is, okay?[/goodies]

[goodies]I don't think the Gossiper is G. Look at the image in Erik's post. Citizen3.jpg

EDIT: And Gossiper comes after Goblin alphabetically. From the looks of it, many of the portraits won't be accessible to us, inserted directly into TCB via the new system.[/goodies]

Fine!

I'm guessing it's something that has been mentioned, and dismissed, before.

That, and it starting with F, will mean that everyone will know what it is.[/goodies]

[goodies]Now I've solved the riddle of the bar... You can't begin to imagine how frustrated and disappointed I was when I tried to arrange the goodies so that the initials spelled out "the censors" and it didn't work... When I thought of that, I was dead certain that it was the correct phrase... :) [/goodies]

[goodies]Not to go parade-raining, but: if in fact these new characters were listed on that screenshot, Drokkendut would appear there; but there's no space for him.

Possibly he was added after that shot was taken; possibly it's not his real name, and Erik made names up to avoid spoilers; possibly...something else.[/goodies]

[goodies]Hey, when did the screenshot change? Tiles weren't there before!

I'm reasonaby sure that the GA2 characters will be actual 'Characters' and the pictures in the threads are custom avatars.

F could be for flow, but I can't see how it could be characterised.

[/goodies]

[goodies]There was a comment at some point about how the screenshot had changed. I forget when

But in any case, what I mean is: if the pictures of the characters in the threads are GA2 characters, shouldn't they be listed in the "Graphic" category? That is, shouldn't "Drokkendut" be listed between "Decoy" and "Evil Eye"?[/goodies]

[goodies]Yeah, I see it's mentioned near the top of the page.

I am assuming they are special characters for the official TCB hold and so will not be free for anyone to use willy-nilly, so that is why they are not in the list.

Except Citizen 3.

[goodies]I thought you could just roll-your-own appearance in TCB, with a custom portrait and custom, uh, character tiles?

If so, a lot of the TCB-related NPCs could be such custom characters - that would explain their absence...[/goodies]
