LOL and i thought it was an MxO picture. lmao!. nice

Hey phantom, think you can link me your 'mxo code' picture? I like the way it looks more than the file i was using SMILEY

. It has more than just plain code weaved into it. Unless im imagining little grids lol.

Daymn Phant, that's insanely sexy lol. See i was waiting for you to try this tut out and post your amazingness. Those 'little' tweaks you did on your own after really made the picture stand out nicely. Sooner or later ill get to your level of photoshop . I'm usually used to taking good screenshots for others to play with haha.

Lol, yeah that would take a while wouldnt it.

I think it would be faster in like a 3D software like Lightwave, Bryce, and stuff like that since you can add it in 3D without changing perspective. Also editing the code size would be easier.

This way is a pretty quick way of making an mxo effect picture. I can do a decent one in about 5-10 min easy

lol you called me a *CENSORED* bag I don't think its a 'complete waste' of dev time. Since were still not sure if it would take a lot of time to implement. No need to start name calling

*Please refrain from bypassing the profanity filter*

lol, well spoken Gami. I'm just not so easy on critisicm. It's one of my flaws. I get defensive fast even if in fact your not even attacking. lol. Anywaysssssssss, i guess it's safe to say that this idea wont be implemented.

*CENSORED* you morpheus!

/pce

Lol, i was writing my post before you posted that link haha.

There IS a similar tutorial to this that is also very nice.

http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=36300014721

But i just want to make sure you guys see that in his version, the code is just a filler really and runs the same throughout. It's all vertical Code. The 'Real' code effect is not vertical at all. It's angled and has perspective. My way accomplishes that . The distortion part makes it curve around edges and the perspective part really makes it stand out nicely. So in fact both of our tutorials are different. They are both just as good i think too. Sooo i'm not trying to take away from his tut or anything .

Cheers

Matrix Effect Tutorial
By EnterTheFenix

This tutorial will teach you how to take an ordinary picture, and convert it to a 'Matrix' version of it. The picture, in other words, will consist of the matrix code and ends up really looking cool. I will cover such techniques as displacement mapping, layers and the free transform tool.

Step 1: Find an image you want to edit. I'll use this one.

Step 2: Find a nice and large matrix code picture. I'll save you the trouble of looking. (Matrix Code Picture)

Step 3: Open your starting image. It should be the background layer. It is a good idea to keep this layer untouched so that you can refer back to it or copy bits from it and what not.

Step 4: Create a new layer called 'Code'. Paste the matrix code image so it fills the screen. Duplicate the background layer and put it on top of the other two layers. Name that new layer 'Lines'.

You now should have 3 layers. 'Lines', then 'Code', then your original background picture.

*** Note, before you continue, copy & paste your original Background image, and save it by itself into it's own .psd file. You will need to do this for the next steps. Save it as ImageDisplace.psd ***

Step 5: Ok now that you have done that go back to the original psd that has the 3 layers. Select the 'Code' layer and then from the menu go Filter > Distort > Displace. Use these settings:

Horizontal Scale : 30
Vertical Scale: 30
Select Stretch To Fit & Repeat Edge Pixels

(You may want to use a smaller value than 30 for the scale. 20 or even 10 often works well. I used 10 for this picture.)

Step 6: Now click and Select the image you saved as ImageDisplace. The image of the code should distort slightly.

Step 7: Go to the layer ‘Lines’. Go Filter > Stylize > Glowing edges. Play around with the settings until you’re happy and click OK.

Step 8: Then go Image > Adjustments > Hue / Saturation.

Step 9: Check the box ‘Colorize’ and make it green and about the same saturation as the code.

Step 10: Set the layer blend mode to ‘Screen’ and admire the effect!

Step 11: To make it look a bit more real, select (on the code layer) the bits of code corresponding to each wall and go Edit > Transform > Perspective. Grab a corner handle and drag.

And tada! This is the final effect . If you have any questions on any part, please feel free to ask me anything.

This picture was not the BEST example to use since it did not have much depth. I'll post a few more in a bit. Let's see what you guys can do!!! I'm positive you guys will get better results. I'm not pro pro at Photoshop, but my picture still turned out pwn!

lol whatever GamiSB. It's funny how you keep bringing up that irrevelant orpheus quote. It's great to see how people react to others who just want to help add content into the game. There are soooo many contradictions in the game that you should really focus on those major ones and *CENSORED* about that instead. This is probably the least worrysome contradiction, and in fact i still think it doesn't contradict at all. And about body staying the same, we do have RSI mod pills don't we? If we can change how we look then we can definitely 'think' it can affect our stats. You know to be honest, this is why the game never progresses, because of people like you. If the game really focused on being accurate and not so contradicting, then you would have a stronghold argument. The whole GAME is practically not following The Matrix rules. Like invisibility, im pretty sure if that was possible, Neo would do it all the time, but he doesn't, because its not. And dying too, i never really got how they worked around that. But w/e, forums will always have *CENSORED* hats, we just gotta live with them.

And if you want to know why i even came up with this idea? It's to add Variety to the game. I'm honestly sick of seeing everyone with Body type 2. You RARELY see skinny or big bodies. It would be nice if it were more diverse. So i think adding incentive to use those body types would be good. Also, think about it. The Matrix has rules right? Well if theres a 'bigger' person in the matrix, won't he naturally be stronger? Like everything in the matrix has to apply to some rules and laws, that can be bent however. If you make your image in the matrix 'bigger' then just by following the Matrix rules you should be a little stronger. Because big kids make big damage! So in fact you are adjusting your body so that it can follow a preset matrix rule really. Not quite sure if i got my point out correctly, but it makes sense in my head. Anyways if you don't positive to add please don't post. And by positive i don't mean you HAVE to agree with me. You can disagree. But saying, NO because Morpheus said so is lame. Your misinterpreting his quote, oh and btw hes dead, screw him SMILEY

Lol, i lose and gain weight everyday, about 25 lbs too... ((i wrestle)) haha

and btw those pills are hard to Farm. Theyre in creston.

And also, alot of the things in the game contradict the game. And the diff body types are just your image in the matrix right, not the real world. So you could just say you changed your body in the matrix and made it stronger, or faster etc... You can find wayyy more contradicting things in the game than this little thing. Also it makes sense. If you tell your mind to be bigger and stronger, then in the matrix you will be bigger and stronger

Anyways, no need for us to get hostile. I just like to throw out ideas, and defend them when people disagree

Cheers

Psh don't give me that morpheus quote BS. If that quote was true, then ALL buffed items should be removed from the game. Why would items from the matrix make us more powerful? Same concept... Soooo bull argument.

Must... Keep... Bluepills... Sacred...

lol.

But as others said the other ideas are pwn. Customizing props will never happen though. Engine can't currently handle it and it would take up too much storage space. :/

Umm, i wanted to make a Black char the other day. But noticed when i wanted to add a tatoo, you could not see it!!!

That's evil.

Make tattoo's have the option of us choosing it's color because honestly, black tattoos on black chars = >.>

So yeah. Make tattoo's less racist! lol

Chill people, *CENSORED*.

Anyways, this is how i see the agents now:

They are fine and are easy to get away from, (Ctrl + Space). They should be there, but i think maybe appear a little less often. And also, when they do appear, for some reason they like to attack their own machine operatives sometimes.. Seriously, my friend would get jumped by one because hes Zion, and once he HJ's the agent decides to bust my *CENSORED* with some disarming shots, and I'm machine too. That's when i get pissed, interlock them, and DIE! lol

This is something i just thought of today while making a new char

Why not have the different body types have different bonuses?

Body Type 1 (Really Skinny): 5% Accuracy
Body Type 2 (Normal): 5% Defense
Body Type 3 (Really Fat): 5% Damage

The buffs don't have to be exactly what i listed above. Other buffs could be add like movement speed and what not. The general idea is to have diff buffs for the diff body types. Would make choosing how your char looks affect how he fights. ((Would make more big guys show up in the game )) So if you agree, list some of the buffs you think each should have.

*CENSORED* too bad MxO isnt run like by a normal prog language

it would be like

IF Light = 1 THEN Spy = +20pts

lol or something like that.

Oh and also, it doesnt have to be just for missions, they could make it easier by having it affect EVERY room in mission or not. Im gonna ask rarebit to see if its pheasible or not.

But yeah i thought it was a clever idea too

Third ones a lil feminine >.>

Shhhhh, we all know im secretly a woman playing on a MALE RSI!!!

D: D: D: D: D: D:

Ok i was bored yesterday and made 3 new sigs.

I need help to choose if with of these 4 ( my new 3 and my current one ) is the better sig.
Multiple people rating these would help too

Here they are Nothing Fancy, but they were fun to do. I made them all from scratch.

I've had this idea for a while now and it always comes back to me when I mission.

Answer this, what purpose do light switches have in the game currently?
None. (( Well, there is the occasional romantic setting with your mission partners, haha ))
Ok, my idea is this. Light switches are located near the entrance doors for each room usually right?

Well, why not make it so that if you flip the lights off in a room, when you are in that room you will get a slight increase in stealth, disguise, concealment, and invisibility. So let's say your missioning, and you open a door. You then click the light switch, ding! +20 pts stealth. It's like wearing Yuki Boots! :o

I think this is a great idea for these reason:

1) It's easy to implement.
2) It wont unbalance the game.
3) Adds another kinda fun aspect to missioning.
       - Player 1: "Turn off all the lights, i'm going in!!!"
       - Player 2: "Chargeeeeeeeeee!!!" *Turns off the lights and hides in elevator*
       - Player 1: "Ninja Night Attack!!!! :O"
4) Will make missions a little bit easier for low level spies (( NPC's have high detection sometimes ))
5) Wont affect PVP stats or anything like that!

What do you guys think?

There Updated!! Since vaca is done, ill try my best to crank this baby out often. Let's see your ideas grow SMILEY

I have a series of JPG images that i want to link into a GIF. I tried using FLASH MX, but when i render the file into a GIF the quality looks really crappy for some reason, and not like the original pictures. If you know of a program that can easily string about 40 pics together to make a nice GIF please let me know

Thanks!

This is for my sig btw, once i get it to work ill post it here

Hey Sorry for not updating recently... It was the holidays and you know how things get crazy. Hopefully you guys wont take it against me that on holidays i could not update SMILEY

Oh and my name is Purple now, cool SMILEY

Stay Tuned For Update!!!

Love it, very creative and sleek. 9/10

This is my new one. Got the picture for it today

There is an ability for this and I ALWAYS use is. It's a spy one. Weather your in a mish or not, it will display the moving red arrow for bad people and a moving blue arrow for friendly. It makes a cool sound effect when u use it too.
Whoa really? Do you happen to know what it is? Once I hit 50 I might have to level up that tree and see how it works.

Yup, i always use it. It shows them not for missions either. Like if your farming and click it, it will beep and you see all the bad guys near you. It's just lovely. An ability seldom known about. I don't know the name off the top of my head, but add me to your Friends List. When im ingame ill know its name.

The name is CyanX and i'm on recursion. So if your not, use Recursion.CyanX

Latersss

Ive got an idea i want to do. I'd like to do an enhanced image of someone else screenshot. I was never the best and takeing screenshots but some of you out there can take some GREAT ones.
I'd like anyone or everyone to post a link to an unaltered ingame screen and i will pick the one i like the best to try my stuff on. Note i said link, dont post the actual picture, make a link to it or somthing (i just want to keep the consistancy of this thread the same, Only enhanced images shown, and the originals in links, like in my posts earlier.)

Hey, i don't know if your going to still do this or what not. But i've always been really really good at taking screenshots. Just never great at editing them. I'm not patient enough to learn all there is about photoshop. ( I am patient however in waiting hours for the right screenshot ). Anyways ill hook you up with a couple of some recent screenshots. I'd love to see what you can do with them. I'm certain they will become amazing.

Hey everyone. This thread is going to be a compilation of screenshots taken by me. New pictures will be added randomly. Feel free to comment on any picture you like. Feedback and ideas for future screenshots are very welcome. I like to add little captions sometimes to pictures I take. You guys can add some captions as well, just make sure we can tell what picture you are talking about.

Picture 1

"Football try-outs are coming soon. I...Must...Practice..."

or

"Mother: Johnny, this is how babies are made."
"Johnny: o.o"

Ok then think of it like this.

Merge Syntax and Recursion. Keep Vector alone. gg.

WEEE noeula!!! i was wondering how to get that ho!

Great Idea bro, i'm sending you a PM now.

How does one become the operative in question? o.O
Random draw? Chosen by Dev's? Voted by the people?

Mittens wins gg. lol

I got ETF to 50 in 13 days. Real days, not play time. I slep and went to school too. Here is how:

1) Get to lvl 5 by killing Uriah npc's
2) Mission quickly to lvl 10 (Should not take long)
3) Tag all hard lines
4) Tag all nodes
5) Mission for a little bit
6) You should easily be lvl 22-25

And that's only one Day 1

For the rest 12 days, when you long on don't pvp, don't talk to people, don't do anything but mission.
Missioning with 2-3 50's can be very effective.

Honestly I think i finished so fast without playing much because of the Pandora Box Mission.
I went from 45-50 in one day. That is very, very tough usually.
Hacker back then had ownage area distance and damage.

Without the help of others (For nodes and stuff)
I got my char FireFenix from 1-43 in 18 days.

Right now I came back, (after being afk for a year) and my char is 22 and its been a week.

I am leveling slower now since i have a lot of friends to talk to that i made from ETF
I hate missioning now though

k That's about it.

*CENSORED* your fast. Good thing i was about to ask a similar question. Mine was:

What is the process of using an Idea form the development section? How often do you check it? And what are the steps taken to make an Idea go from a thread there, to the game!

I made this for you anyways, it's stickied too

For Rarebit
