Select Character lighting glitch.

[Skorpius]

Small, unimportant, useless, and minor!

The last area you quit a game in will be used for the lighting of your characters during the Select Character screen. Example, if you save and quit in the Sil Draon arena, your characters will be brightened up and look like they would if they were on Ep3.

Yay!

That's a pretty cool thing for you to recognize, actually.

I don't think I'd have noticed that.

I did notice that even though EP3 uses the same type of blocky outline shadows as EP1&2, I noticed that they were more solid compared to the EP1&2 ones.

=( But everyone's probably noticed that!

Lighting thing is good if you ever wanted to take a picture of your characters along with their play times, though. Totally.

you can switch the time off ^-^

and.. if i understand right, the game keeps the area lighting in RAM and uses it instead of standard lighting. so this doesnt work on a fresh load i guess.

Actually, Ep3 doesn;t use any shadows on the characters at all. They're very bright:



I'm sure you'll see how bright she is compared to how it would look in Ep1&2. ;o

Here's my FOmarl with the highlight glitch. Not sure if you can tell the highlight is there, but I assure you that it is.


EDIT: Guess this technically isn't a glitch? Just a quirk, then? Eh, whatever. XP Technicalities.

The shadows I was referring to in EP3, I meant on the ground, not on the character.

In EP1&2 you can sorta see the ground in your character's shadow. In EP3, it's a solid black shadow.

I'd say. Even my FOmar who's 153 only has a little over 500 hours on him...

CRAZY!!!

If I added up all the time I spent between characters on the Dreamcast, though, I think it'd be beyond 1500+.. haha..

Rianna_Type1: Yeah, I realized that after I left the topic. X.x I guess the reason why the shadows on Ep3 are blocky is because of the same reason the characters themselves don't have shadows on them. I think it was done so they would appear on field and be easily seen.

reno-ko: >_>; Yeah. I used to be a lobby rat and I don't like to play many high EXP quests/areas. She's only level 180.

Nice discovery, I never noticed.

And yeah, 1520 hours at Lv 180

Yeah, I suck at not rushing too a goal with no reward.
