  PSO ver.2 (pc) effects mods
Posted by: K_I_R_E_E_K - 22-05-2012, 11:42 AM - Forum: Lobby - No Replies

[Image: effects.png]

Some of you might not know but PSO uses some files or textures to present the most varied effects in pso, for example when you equip a rare armor or when you cast a tech, all those sparkles and lights are stored and controled by some files
By changing any of these, you will get different effects

I'm here to show you 2 that actually are great to see and try.

This particle entry file modified by Aurelli changes what particles/textures are used and how are they used, many armor effects, techs and some other things will be different with this file.
If you do not like how deband is but you like everything else, simply request and aurelli will post a modified file with that.


On the other hand we have the textures files, i ported over an old version that Gama did for PSO BB, when a more recent one is finished i'll update.
Credits go to Gama, afterall, he made the textures.
This file, changes the small textures to similar textures with a higher resolution, this is why the file is much bigger then the one pso uses by default
EDIT: updated some textures with some of my creations, they look exactly the same but were given a higher resolution and a filter to make them smoother.
I also updated the file to be a compressed zip to reduce download time

Download for both files: http://www.2shared.com/file/c0gPiK9b/Particles.html
2 folders, 1 with the effects texture and another one with 3 folders, each containing a different particle file.

So, you have 4 ways of using the effects, either you use the ones that come with the instalation, you install Aurelli's file, you install Gama's file or you use both and have at the same time crazy effects and good looking textures.

I can't take screenshots of every single thing that uses these effects.


Screenshots oudated




Movies:
Aurelli mod, it's amazing what a small file can do.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHRTI5q_NRk

Instalation:
- Please backup the original files incase you don't like either of them.
- To install, simply drop these files into ...\SEGA\PhantasyStarOnline\Media\PSO

Info:
- weapons, monsters, techs do not become stronger or weaker with any of these files, this is merely a visual change.
- Other players will not be able to see these modifications unless they are using them too, you may say your foie looks great, but for everyone else, it will look the same.
- Both these files will demand more resources from your PC, so if you can barely run PSO then these files are not recomended, one uses higher resolution textures and the other places more textures on screen, it may not seem much, but 4 players with shifta and deband when you're using Aurelli pack may make the game slow down when all 8 effects (2 for char) hit the screen at the same time.
- not recomended to port into a pso ver.2 disk for dreamcast, sega already removed some effects from shifta and deband when they made v2, these are much more intensive then v1 effects.

  PSO v2 (pc) > Misc ending
Posted by: K_I_R_E_E_K - 22-05-2012, 11:41 AM - Forum: Lobby - No Replies

[Image: image200876.png]

Info:
It seems for some reason this ending is not included into PSO PC so i made the ending available by replacing the ultimate ending (the one that shows red ring rico) with the misc one available on dreamcast.
Images are in the same order as the original dreamcast ending

Download:
http://www.univers-ps.com/psobb/skin/tel...?l=876&t=d

Installation:
Replace ed_512kabe_AB_UL.prs in .....\SEGA\PhantasyStarOnline\Media\PSO with the one in the download.
Backup the original incase you want to revert back.

I also have the intention of releasing a custom ending later.

  PSO v2 (pc) > Nighttime Paradise
Posted by: K_I_R_E_E_K - 22-05-2012, 11:40 AM - Forum: Lobby - No Replies

[Image: semttulo1ypq.png]

Info:
This is an area based on the last misc ending image, i altered a few things before releasing the skin to make it a bit more realistic.
One thing i tried was to make the illumination near black, but this affects the monument and a dark one isn't apealing, then i tried and used some really big clouds, but the game doesn't use them properly and it had the same problem as before, the monument was still dark.
Then i tought of darkening all textures exept the ones from the monument, the illumination is still bright but it fits perfectly with the dark textures.
The sky and clouds are high res so the extra detail is nice, unfortunatly there are some issues i can't overcome:

- The sky is contantly rotating, with a blue sky it's ok, but this one has stars, in real life the sky doesn't rotate like this, but it's still great to see.

- PSO v2 makes some compression when using the textures, i used the best i could, a .pvr image with rgb at 565 (more colors then 444 or 555) but i still get layers in the clouds, the gradients are so smooth that more colors are required, with limited colors pso makes things lose some quality.
It's still great to see and it's barely visible, but it's there.

Map doesn't contain shadows from clouds, doesn't contain an extra set of clouds like in the original map and doesn't have the sun, it's as close as i could get regarding the ending image.

Only this part of the arena is affected, falz is still the same and so are the areas where you fight him

Download:
http://www.univers-ps.com/psobb/skin/tel...?l=877&t=d

Installation:
Backup the originals
Just place the 2 files in the download in .....\SEGA\PhantasyStarOnline\Media\PSO\SCENE

  PSO2 - Android & iOS Versions Announced, Free to Play
Posted by: Beat X500 - 23-04-2012, 11:56 AM - Forum: Lobby - Replies (2)

Just been looking at the latest PSO2 stuff and found this article.

Gamespot Wrote:The last time gamers heard news about Phantasy Star Online 2 was back at the Tokyo Game Show 2011. Sega recently announced that the sequel to Phantasy Star Online will adopt a free-to-play business model.


According to Famitsu, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game will be using an item transaction system, so players will need to pay money for items or certain benefits to speed up level grinding. In addition, Sega announced that the game will be out on iOS and Android. Previously, the game was confirmed for the PC and the PS Vita platform, with the latter being announced early this month.

Im concerned whether or not the Smartphone versions are going to be lacking in features, etc, due to being essentially a mobile game :/

Now, this looks so good. They've done what sounds like a remastered/re-done version of the old theme music too which just makes it better!

  A specific server advertisement
Posted by: K_I_R_E_E_K - 29-03-2012, 10:38 PM - Forum: Updates - Replies (12)

I'll try and keep it simple, most ppl play or know a specific server to play PSO and they often recomend it due to the population, updates,.... that they have.
Well, the server uses a very doubtfull donation management in wich they appeal to ppl to donate and even give incentives such as 2x exp, from very early sometimes they requested donations right after another request, making users question where did the previous donations went.

Now, there is another problem, as you might know you can't sell items for real money, same way you can't buy hacked items, the administration uses a strategy that not only they violate the rules they impose, but also makes me make this topic.
Long short story, crono and zero xd decided to do a scam, they would sell items (gm made) for actual money and use the money for themselves and for that they impersonated broomop, wich is smart because any complain coming from him would fall on def ears, he has a bad reputation and no one would believe him, on top of this, they would ban the user after receiving the money, meaning the user would be unable to complain, topics on forums are easily deleted, gm reports must be aproved (i think) and you're banned in the game.

After some time, some ppl figured out and crono asked zero xd to take the full blame, as stupid as it may be, zero took all the damage and eventually the scam kept going.

So yes, they were banning users that bought the items from themselves.

My point is this, since they scam on the forum, in the game and even use other forums to gain extra money, do the users of ragol.co.uk think it's still ok to able to pronounce the sc******? I'm asking this because i feel that talking about it, recomending it, linking to it,.... is the same as linking to a scam, we are directing users to a place where the admins will use all tactics to extract money from the players, giving the reason "it's to help the server" as an escuse, or if things go wrong they will use other users or the staff itself as cannon fodder.

So putting it simple, should we follow the same rules that PSO-world has? (not in the sense of blocking all server's names but that one in particular)
All opnions are valid and since Lee-Y is here, maybe he should give some input

As a personal note, i have already informed my youtubers of the situation, stating that all the messages containing that server name will be deleted, after that i took some time to delete most comments that advertise the server.

Have fun reading:

Hi everyone!

I know right, the guy who owns this website is actually visiting... AND POSTING for the first time in about 18 months. Sorry about that Sad

How's everyone doing?

So. Yea. With the future of this website in question, here's a question to you. What would make you visit & use Ragol.co.uk more? And do you still play Phantasy Star games at all?

Oooh, a poll!

Anyways, hope you've all been keeping well whilst I've been off galavanting around. Smile

Lots of love,
Lee-yoshi

  Help with getting an item in my game.
Posted by: pso king - 13-02-2012, 08:30 AM - Forum: Lobby - Replies (2)

In my gamecube game, I'm trying to get the Lavis Cannon on my Hucast. The guide I'm looking at for how to find certain items suggests splitting pofuilly slimes into more, and then using the telepipe trick. The only problem is, I'm not sure how one actually splits a pofuilly slime into multiple. Can anybody help?
