2nd thread?

Well, first of all, i have been here since 22-September 03, have NO idea when the forums got up, but if you mean Veteran like of the forums i wouldnt call myself one, since i have no idea when it started.

Though it was pretty inactive when i came, Timmie had all the threads, the "getNewPost" icon was blue instead of the WFG logo (if you get me) and some mods werent installed.

But veterans of WFG? Isnt that Scud guy and Josef something?

I used to pop in now and then in the forums when WFG was WFS between 2001-2003, and I finally joined after Tim did - he joined because he needed something to do having recently left DGDN with me. He said it was the most awesome team ever, I've always wanted to aply my art skills to games and thus I joined too in late August 2003, so I haven't been here for a long time by any means, though I do know WFS/G's history through the community, having been in it since Late 2000.

Some of Tonto's members (sting and real being the most obvious) were involved in the project almost from the start (I believe sting was involved really early and convinced real to join), so I got to know a lot about it from them.

I've been checking the forums since a few weeks before the first water demo was released (if anyone can remember that :D), though I didn't become involved since when the new forums were established...

I'm not sure we have more than say, five members who've been here since the start= That's a guess, but I don't think there are more than that atleast. I think I'm borderline veteran, but that doesn't mean I know much more of the history than anyone else. There are plenty of ways to find out about that besides having been present :ph34r:

I've joined WFG in december 2002 if I remember correctly. I've left for a while last year and joined again under Tim's pressure (y)

Well, I know WFG (WFS back then) since their first day of existence. Dire Wolf was the leader back then, though I don't know what happened with him. I don't remember all the oldies anymore of that time, only Wijit probably, and some people who are now either in Woad Creations or Tsunami Studios.

Toad Studios? ;)

Well in that time many people changed team from time to time or were part of several teams. I don't think it had anything to do with the quality of the team since WFG was in that area probably the best (atleast for modding). I have many memory leaks, so Wijit will answer your question a lot better (y)

Who is the most veteran member on the forum boards?

Non-member would be: friedd0g (used to be known as Smonz), he co-founded WFS with Dire_Wolf)

Active member: Me ;)

WILDFIRE STUDIOS NEWSLETTER: Issue 22nd April, 2001

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dufus Crisis:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

        Lately, there has been some excitement about Wildfire Studios being hosted by SCNPUNK. In this excitement, to get a good site up and working as early as possible, Dire_Wolf appointed Dufus. Dufus has a extensive knowledge of programming languages which Dire_Wolf thought could be put to use for Wildfire Studios. Keeping in view the necessity of getting the website up fast, Dire_Wolf didn't check how reliable Dufus could be. Dufus was thus given the FTP account of the HG Server. As we wanted the site to be up early Angel ZEN did not make a separate FTP account for WFS(Wildfire Studios). Dufus took this opportunity for doing some mischief. He used the FTP account and downloaded some accounts of some people, inclusive of Angel ZEN himself, from the database of the HG server. Using the account of ZEN, he then posted somewhere as ZEN himself. He later also passed the account information to Czar Andy. Czar Andy further spread the account details. cAndy, then changed the names of some forums. He unbanned some people, etc. Thus when Angel ZEN came to know this, he suspended his account with the help of the other Angels. And later from the forum logs (a sort of data text file which records all the activities done during a period) found out that it was some one from New Zealand and later Dufus and cAndy confessed and they were banned from the Age of King's Heaven's forum. Seeing that this could cause more trouble, ZEN temporarily suspended the WFS account from the HG server. :(

        Later Dire_Wolf fired Dufus and temporarily suspended the other people who had the FTP account. If you know anyone out there who helped Dufus and cAndy to hack, please inform me or Dire_Wolf about it. This will only lead to the benefit of WFS. 

 

"Remember, confess before you are forced to do so!" 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome our new members:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Guys welcome our two new members. SWP, The Conquistador and Wicked Knight. I guess SWP is not so new now though. : ) The Conquistador as you all guys know is a great scenario designer from SCNPUNK and TSUNAMI STUDIOS. Further more he is the review god of Age Of King's Heaven and he is the Head Scenario Designer of WFS. Rpgmaker007 was sacked from this position because he was very inactive and did not handle the responsibility properly. SWP, excellent with graphics and quite good at many programming languages. So..... he is the webmaster WFS. Unlike Dufus, he did not hack the HG server even though he had the FTP account stuff. This does not only show his loyalty towards WFS but also that he cares about the reputation of WFS. He is kinda a guy who does not really like to help when it comes to some newbie questions :D. Though I am sure he is going to be a great webmaster! Lastly Wicked Knight until I haven't exactly been able to know him really good though I know he is quite good with graphics and I'm sure WFS will benefit from his being in the team. He is a very helpful guy and if any of you guys need help with the 3D modeling stuff or any graphics he is always there for you! :D Anyway don't forget to visit his site here.

Update on the "Fall of Rome":

- By Wijitmaker

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope fully, all of you guys have seen the trailer of the Fall of Rome campaign. If not, you can see it here.

(http://www.geocities.com/wildfire_studios/rome.html)

Here are some more details:

The roman mod replaces the Meso American. Aztecs to Romans, and Mayans to Greeks. This mod will only effect this civ. So this means you that you won't have legionnaire while using the Asian civ.

You may be asking yourself, "why the meso's". The answer for these reasons:

1) Aztecs have the strong infantry (compliments Rome)

2) Neither have gunpowder (historically accurate)

3) we liked the AoE priest and Meso's had the extra slp's so it doesn't change the other civs.

4) There is only two to change (Aztecs and Mayans)!

5) We liked the fact that the Equites (roman cavalry) comes out of the barracks and has the characteristics of an infantry unit. (meaning it isn't bothered by pikeman, etc..)

While your advancing through the ages...

                The feudal age has the them of the nomadic Roman War engine. It features building that are of a roman military tent style. When you advance to the castle age you will notice that the Romans have established themselves permanently. With their stone building. And when you reach the imperial age you will see the grandier of Rome. The unit replacement are as follows

Eagle Warrior : Equites

Jaguar Warrior : Legionnaire (Courtesy of Topknot)

Plumed Archer : AOE composite archer

Mayan Monk : AOE priest

The mod will be compete with sounds, and accompanied by a campaign. Look for it's release in late May.

I can't say I've been here as long as Wijit, but I have been here longer than Adam. I remember first being attracted by Josef's LOTR mod (now TLA) and while reading that massive thread, and participating in it a guy (who at the time felt like a show-off outsider) came showed us two 3D works of Noldor elves and a Gandalf (both based on movie, both extremely excellent). LOL, at the time I remember saying "heh, I like Josef's works better" but that's before I knew Adam was going to get involved with TLA (I thought he was just showing off, hey I was foolish at the time... merely a pup to the community). When Josef left and TLA was already down the path to become a game, Adam took over and I continued to follow it as a fan. Eventually I was asked to join, or I asked, I don't remember. Been with TLA ever since.

When you think about it, it's funny how THE purist Tolkien project began as a movie-based mod!
