Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

Prop Request Thread 2.0

There're a lot of prop/weapon request threads and requests stuck in power effects and costume request threads, so I figured -- like the costume request 2.0 -- I'd attempt to consolidate the requests into a new thread, and update the first post regularly.

To clarify, it's been said Props are objects you hold while casting powers, and presumably don't leave once the casting is done (e.g. a gun doesn't leave your hand once done shooting).

I've organized the requests into 4 types:
Type A obvious: for requests that are obviously going to be implemented
Type B: requests that wouldn't be hard to implement, and have wide comic book or fantasy appeal
Type C: requests that wouldn't be hard to implement, but are fairly obscure and may even have IP issues (obviously it's a judgement call on how "obscure" a weapon is)
Type D: requests that, while maybe common, would be technically difficult to implement (also a judgement call), this category also has modifiers on any weapon.

Course, I'm willing to recategorize any suggestion :p

Also, I think it'd be redundant to add twinned versions of any suggestion, I'll just assume there's a left/right split and any-ish weapon can be twinned easily.

Here's the last big update on powers: https://cityoftitans.com/content/what-we-can-do-powers

I'm of the school of thought that costume pieces from which projectiles appear are not "props", e.g., shoulder missiles or pets.

Also, I think shuriken, throwing knives, maybe even throwing spears, are effects, not props, since you don't hold them.

A boombox that you hold on

A boombox that you hold on your shoulder(or where ever you please) to use for sonic wave attacks (this could technically fall under musical instrument)

A yoyo that can be used for single target attack/hold, multi-target(PBAoE), etc

A baseball bat, wooden, metal, spiked, etc

A voodoo doll with pins stuck into it for some voodoo mamma juju magic

A RC car or drone remote control to use to drive/fly around to use as the emanation point for ranged attacks

A jackhammer for some earth control

Small, Medium, and Large sized slingshots

Various styles of brass knuckles

Various shapes and sizes of erlenmeyer flasks for chemical reactions and potions that create projectiles and explosions.

I'd call the car and flasks effects not props. Since you don't hold onto them after the attack is over.

It would probably be helpful if there was a quick blub in the OP that gave a definition of an effect, a prop, an animation and a costume. Then links to the most current threads on those topics. Hopefully that way random suggestions don't scattered to the winds. It is probably a good idea to have that synopsis added to the OP of each of those threads too.

I keep seeing Man At Arms and

I keep seeing Man At Arms and other 'real' weapons makers crafting weapons from virtual realities and can't help noticing how... well, Silly some of these virtual weapons look in reality. I think it would be Really Cool if our virtual designers consulted with real crafters, to create nifty-looking but Reality-inspired virtual objects and weapons. Make our things 'real' and not just a squiggle of virtual pixels.

So, say the designer wants to make a pair of giant scissors then either scan some real scissors or get some design input from someone who has Made some giant scissors, so as to take details from reality. Make stuff that 'works' and not just stuff that looks cool.

Be Well!

Is your definition for

Is your definition for technically difficult, more than a simple model? IE something that would require VFX or animation of the model? Just wanted to clarify that a little bit. It seems that elemental versions of most weapons would be a specialty skin and some visual FX which falls out of the props category and into the decoupled animations. IE I could wield a pair of swords that are skinned as crystal and stone (no visual fx attached to the model itself) and then use fire and ice animations with the swords being emanation points. the props themselves are simple but the animations would be much more work, technically difficult. For that reason I'd classify the yo-yo as a technically difficult model as you'll have to make an animation set unique to that prop, to look cool.

Assuming any of that is possible I don't think we've seen a lot of details on how AD is going to work in the AB and how granular we can be. Or I've slept and forgotten the discussion.

request:
electro-cannon, big electro-punk cannon that shoots lightning ala emp gun in matrix.
Noisy cricket, little scifi gun shoots a big ball of energy.

Paintbrush

Paintbrush

I have something specific in mind that looks like a chinese calligraphy brush:

but a lot bigger, like this:

or even big enough to wild two-handed perhaps, like this:

In fact I found a 3D library image that would fit it just fine:
https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/paint-brush-fur-hair-max/966114

But all kinds of paintbrushes would be great props.

Agreed on the paint/calligraphy brushes.

The Soul Calibur game series has had calligraphy brushes as joke weapons before (so much for the pen being mightier than the sword).

I thought I had searched everywhere for it before I posted this idea. Even after seeing your post I still can't find that anyone has proposed the paintbrush idea before. I guess I need to increase my search fu.

I have an... unusual request for props.

Can we get the various UI elements as props? Beating someone over the head with my health bar or constraining them with the actual lock-on reticle and such?

For those 4th wall breaking maniacs. Like Deadpool demonstrates:

I love Deadpool as a character and even situations that "break the 4th wall" but how would using your own UI elements as props even begin to work in a MMO? Sure you can do something like that in a fighting game because both players are watching the SAME screen but where would the UI elements come from when you consider the point of view of any other player in a MMO?

I've seen people suggest a bunch of things over the years that might work in certain types of computer games but would be almost nonsensical for a MMO. I just wish people would consider things like that first when thinking about these things.

Of course they wouldn't use your health bar. They're use their own. Breaking someone else's 4th wall is just rude. And it probably wouldn't be a live version either with how much health they have remaining, which MvC3 actually does. They're just reach behind their back and smack the enemy with a copy of the UI element.

The reticle lockdown should be fairly obvious. Have a shrinking box with the right graphics around the target.

On that note, the triangular loot could be excellent as caltrops or throwing.

I skimmed the thread(s), unsure if this specific thing has been suggested. I'd like to see items that we hold up, but dangle dang below our fist. I think it would be a very cool emission point!

Some examples:

Jack in Irons' zombie head bundle was an emission point for him, great example:

A dangling watch for a hypnosis power is pretty classic, yes. I second that suggestion.

Only worry is that they stated more than once that bones are in high demand for the player model, and to dangle right, you need animations, I'd think.

Ahh right, yeah... If it needs physics like that, it needs a rig/bones.

I think the props already have bones. If you can wield a sword...there's a sword bone right? So wouldn't these clocks and what not be using that same bone the "prop" bone.

Can we get the various UI elements as props? Beating someone over the head with my health bar or constraining them with the actual lock-on reticle and such?

I love Deadpool as a character and even situations that "break the 4th wall" but how would using your own UI elements as props even begin to work in a MMO? Sure you can do something like that in a fighting game because both players are watching the SAME screen but where would the UI elements come from when you consider the point of view of any other player in a MMO?

I've seen people suggest a bunch of things over the years that might work in certain types of computer games but would be almost nonsensical for a MMO. I just wish people would consider things like that first when thinking about these things.

Of course they wouldn't use your health bar. They're use their own. Breaking someone else's 4th wall is just rude. And it probably wouldn't be a live version either with how much health they have remaining, which MvC3 actually does. They're just reach behind their back and smack the enemy with a copy of the UI element.

The reticle lockdown should be fairly obvious. Have a shrinking box with the right graphics around the target.

On that note, the triangular loot could be excellent as caltrops or throwing.

*sigh* I didn't mean that (for example) you would take my health bar from my screen. That would be doubly stupid/ridiculous/impossible for a MMO. I simply meant what would YOUR health bar look like to EVERYONE ELSE standing around you? It would likely just look like a weird mono-colored "stick" that wouldn't really resemble a health bar much less anything else remotely funny or reasonable. Sure the whole thing might appear funny from your point of view but I frankly strongly suspect it would look silly/dumb from anyone else's point of view.

That entirely depends on how the UI ends up looking. In CoH, the prop would be the entire Health/Endurance/Exp element. But I used Deadpool there as an example because we don't know what the UI will look like yet. It could be comically oversized just so everyone can see what it is.

I will say that a mouse cursor would be a fun prop or animation to have. You click on the enemies and they flash, taking damage.

I just think that having some sillier options for the props would be great. Not everything has to be serious, especially in a game about dressing up in bright costumes and fighting bad guys.

I'm not against the possibility of having "humorous" options for this game. I'd just want them to be feasible/workable. I can think of a bunch of "cool" things I'd like to see in a game like this but I know many of my ideas would likely be so complex to implement that they would probably never happen even under the most favorable circumstances. *shrugs*

On the deadpool, LOL.

It'd be tricky, and tbh, not worth it, but I'd think you'd 1) replace the current healthbar with another object always pointing to the player, then allow the toon to grab it and strike with it. But yeah, it'd only be fun for the striker.

Might work better to have the toon TK the bar across the screen.

On the hypnosis coin such, I'm not sure how to add that as a prop per say, since it's an emanation point, but I'll throw on Lantern and Hypnosis-style prop.

Gems on the costume are an emanation point, not a prop, but I'm 500% game.

For some reason (maybe I'm having a stroke) but this post reminded of the classic bit from Spinal Tap where the reporter asks Nigel Tufnel why the controls on his amp went from 1 to 11...

Reporter: So why does your wand need to be -that- big? Couldn't you just make a normal sized wand emit more magical power?

Half-elven warlock sailor: Because... it's bigger.

Seriously ... how has the purse/reticule failed to get included as a prop, even if it isn't used as an emanation point for a weapon attack? Bare minimum it ought to be a "prop" that functions purely as a costume item (which could then conceal the emanation point for any of a wide variety of powers effects).

LOL you're totally right - it is almost amazing no one thought of it until now. Not only do we need a basic purse, but this kind of thing could be the basis for a whole bunch of other (what should have been) semi-obvious props like:

1) messenger bags

2) laser rifle power packs

and so on...

It is less my understanding

It is less my understanding than my desire, but I would think that a prop could be anything that

  1. can be used as an origin point for powers,
  2. would have unique combat animations associated with using it for (1) above
  3. can be on display or not on display without affecting the rest of the character's costume.

So in that regard, I would expect that shoulder bags of some sort could surely be considered props. I could even see the combat animation for using one (opening it with one hand while pulling something out with the other) would work for all sorts of contents like green bloody eyeballs, pixie dust, appleseeds, gerbils or lipstick


I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.

Even I'll admit that a "purse" might be in that "grey area" between prop and costume item. But as the last couple of posts allude to things like that might be able to serve as both... or at the very least they might be able to make two versions of a purse - one a prop the other a costume item.
