Recording Populous

Akira: /* How to record populous */

== How to record populous ==

Populous can be recorded using software called Fraps, however this only works with D3DPopTB.exe and D3DPopTBUW.exe.
With fraps, the resulting file format is avi, which would need to be encoded ( to wmv for example) using a separate piece of software. This will dramatically reduce the file size (over 100 times smaller), resulting in a file which is ideal for uploading to a web server.
For further editing effects, windows movie maker or a similar piece of software can then be used.<br>
However, recording full games would require a lot of space. In this case, using screenshots to make a video would be more appropriate.

Doubling

2006-08-09T16:47:47Z

Akira:

"Doubling" is the term used to describe a player who is attacked by two enemies at the same time. For example, your ally could have fallen and it's just you versus two of your enemies. They're both allies. They both attack you from different sides simultaneously making it extremely hard to fight off and recover from.

'''Is Doubling Frowned Upon?'''

It depends. It varies from player to player. Many think that doubling is favoured by noobs. Some see doubling as a quick way of finishing off the enemy and ending the game. However, if two players are to double an opponent they are expected to do it fairly and not to antagonise their target by gloating or insulting them.

Wildman Productions

2006-08-09T16:47:16Z

Akira:

Wildman Productions is a non-profit development team for enhancements to the game Populous: The Beginning, and the upcoming fan-based sequel to Populous.

==History==

The start of the team Wildman Productions began in 2003 with attempts at a new clan matchmaker for clan PT (popmaster team). This development was lead by Janhaan aka Doktor, at the time this team was known by the clan name. After several months others began to join into the team, and the matchmaker project turned from only for PT to a completely public project. It is around this time that the official name Wildman Productions was decided upon. After many months of drawbacks and several matchmaker rewrites, Popmaster and Doktor gave up the ideas of the full-featured matchmaker and is now inactive in the team. It is in this period that leadership of the team turned over to [[user:King Warg|Warg]] and [[user:Koen|Koen]], bringing the team to be known today with many new programs for Populous: The Beginning, such as the first public AI script compiler, level tester, and the yet to be complete Resurrection Matchmaker client.

==Projects & Games==

===[[Populous Resurrection|Resurrection Matchmaker]]===

==='''Populous IV''': Tribal Conquest===

==Programs==

===Level Scripter===

This was one of the first programs designed and made by Wildman Productions. It was made by [[user:Koen|Koen]] and allows you to easily open and save maps rather than decompiling it and back.

===Level Tester===

This was a small program that would allow you to easily test levels and AI scripts using level 1. The program and a user friendly browsing interface and a restore option. The program was designed by [[User:King Warg|King Warg]] then later programmed by [[user:TedTycoon|TedTycoon]].

Populous Reincarnated

2006-08-09T16:46:08Z

Akira:

'''''Populous: Reincarnated''''' has been dedicated to the complete rebirth of Populous: The Beginning for several years by providing new innovations for the Populous community. First starting out with the creation of several new Map-Pack (called New Worlds) and then later creating a new home for the Populous community, Populos: Reincarnated always has, and always will provide the ultimate experience for Populous players new and old alike.

=History=

In 2001, two Populous players ([[Hepple]] and [[TheGabber]]) got together with the intent of creating new maps for Populous Online. During this time, [[Hepple]] worked out the structure of the Populous level files and wrote one of the first Map Editors for the game. This Map Editor was kept from the public to ensure that only decent maps could be played online, or so that was the original intent. As New Worlds began to grow, so did [[TheGabber]] and [[Hepple]]'s success in the [[Populous]] community. [[Hepple]] left soon after he made an early release of his Map Editor, but [[TheGabber]] and [[1/4lb]] worked together on [[Populous]] [[New Worlds]]. [[TheGabber]] focused exclusively on making maps wheras [[1/4lb]] worked on their website. This website stayed around until 2002 when they moved their site to Strategy Planet and became Populous: Reincarnated. During this time, [[New Worlds]] began to grow increasingly popular. [[1/4lb]] left the Populous: Reincarnated team and was later replaced by the current webmaster, [[IncaWarrior]].

In 2003, a programmer by the name of [[ALACN]] emerged on the scene with the first release of a 3D Map Editor. This 3D editor did not actually save maps at the time, but it would modify maps loaded into the editor's engine. [[ALACN]] joined Populous: Reincarnated in late 2003 and provided them with new capabilities far beyond what anyone could have predicted. [[ALACN]] was responsible for developing a displacement editor (used to change the land textures of Populous), as well as a Resolution Changer to allow people to run the game at any legitimate screen resolution of their choosing. That same year, [[ALACN]] wrote the Populous: Reincarnated Matchmaker, which is the by far the most popular Matchmaker in use today. Shortly after [[ALACN]] joined in, [[Khickman]] joined the team to help [[TheGabber]] with the production of new maps. [[Khickman]] was responsible for contributing [[Fate Worlds]], one of the most commonly played map-packs today (next to the original levels). On January 8, 2004, Electronic Arts pulled the plug on their [[Populous]] online server, causing Populous: Reincarnated to host their own service. This is the service utilized by the Populous: Reincarnated Matchmaker (one of [[ALACN]]'s biggest contributions to the game). As time went on, [[ALACN]] completed work on the Map Editor. It became the first real publicly used and accepted Map Editor because it was the first program which actually edited the maps and the objects at the same time. As a result, more and more Map-Packs have been put in production for people to play, providing a bigger interest in map-making for [[Populous]].

Over the course of 2004-2006, Populous: Reincarnated has done many things for the the [[Populous]] community. Some of the larger contributions would include the built-in leagues table which allows players to compete against eachother by total points from won games. They have also hosted several tournaments including a team tournament and several individual tournaments.

=Staff=

Populous: Reincarnated's most important contributors have ultimately been everyone involved with them at one point or another. Some of the high points would be [[IncaWarrior]] and [[1/4lb]] for their work on the Populous: Reincarnated websites, [[TheGabber]] and [[Hepple]] for their work on the first maps, [[Khickman]] for contributing Fate Worlds, [[CDPlayer]] for all of his provided publicity of the game, [[ALACN]] for his numerous contributions, and a few others.

'''Moderators'''
Included into this category are the main Admins as well....[[TheGabber]], [[Incawarrior]], [[cdplayer]]_TA, [[ALACN]] and [[Protonagenet]]. Other "Moderators" include, [[Seabass]], [TDM][[RuthlesSpy]], [TDM][[walhallah]]. The latter three moderators work behind the scenes, usually on the forums and helping out [[Noob]]s and [[Newbie]]s.

=Contributions=

Populous: Reincarnated has provided the following innovations for the Populous community:
*Populous Reincarnated Matchmaker
*Populous 3D Map Editor (with included script compiler)
*Populous Patch V1.03 - All fixes from version 1.01 plus some additional fixes (see: [http://populous.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/ here]).
*Populous New Worlds - A whole new set of maps made by TheGabber
*Displacement Editor - A utility which allows users to edit the textures in the land.
*PopCheck - For checking files for corruption in the game.
*PopFix - To fix Populous registry files.
*PopRestore - To replace modified game content with the original files from the Populous CD.

Solo

|Level = Solo
|Image = solo.jpg
|Mode = [[Singleplayer]]
|Players = 4
|Heads = 3
|VOK = 0
|Ally = N/A
|Difficulty = Intermediate
}}

You may thing Solo is hard but it doesnt take much to do. First you worship the [[obelisk]] that is on your island, this will give you full chargements of your spells. You can easily kill the [[Dakini]] off and steel their [[boat]]. If you use [[Hypnotise]] try and use it towards the end of finishing them off so you get some followers to your side forever.

Next sail to the [[Chumara]] and hop into the [[balloon by the hill. Next use minor spells again to face off the tribe. ('''Watch out for the [[Firewarrior]]s'''). When you finish the tribe off goto the nearest [[obelisk]] and claim some [[mana]] to boost some of your spells.

Now fly your way towards the [[Matak]] and fight them off. After you have killed half of them you can have a [[mana]] boost by worshipping the [[obelisk]] that is on the [[Matak]]'s island. Now finish the rest of them off, keep killing their [[shaman]] to increase your mana further.

Repair

2006-08-09T16:41:59Z

Akira:

[[Image:Adapt.jpg|right|230px|thumb]]
Adaptation is repairing damaged that has been done to your base. It is important to repair your base when an enemy has done some heavy spells on you. [[Earthquake]]s can shape your land in nasty ways, to repair use [[Landbridge]] to make the land level again. Some of your defence may be knocked out so repair your [[tower]]s, build more and train new followers. Just remember to keep your base how it needs to be otherwise it will only get weaker!

[[Image:Defence_Adapt.jpg|left|200px|thumb|New Defence]]
Sometimes you don't have to fix the land. The enemy might have cast a [[Landbridge]] to a hill, but you can defend on it by laying a [[tower]] or some troops, it blocks the weak point to your base. Lots of [[firewarrior]]s, [[warrior]]s can protect the hill. [[Tower]]s may be good in case of [[firestorm]]s, and use [[brave]]s or even [[Ghost Army|ghosts]] to keep enemy [[shaman]]s busy.

[[Image:Volcano_Adapt.jpg|right|thumb|Adaptation on a [[Volcano]]]]
You may have had a lot of damage on your home buildings, don't give up just send a few survival braves to repair your huts and you will be making mana again like you were, plus new people again.

Harvesting

2006-08-07T19:37:47Z

Akira: /* How It's done */

== Introduction ==

Harvesting is on the most rudimentary techniques used in online play. Its allows a player to increase their wood surplus, by carefully controlling/monitoring the cutting process of the trees in the immediate proximity to their base.

== How It's done ==

A player must first select 2 or 3 men (2 if the tree is near to a building or potential building and 3 if it is further away). Then whilst holding down ctrl, select a tree with the men then click on the ground. Repeat by selecting another tree then the ground until the integer 8 is visible or until there is no more trees to harvest.
Some people like to use the last iteration/s to patrol instead of just clicking on the ground/tree. As a result, more mana is procuded due to the brave's continuous movement.

Landbridge

{{Infobox Spell
|Spell = Landbridge

|Mana = 700

}}

[[Image:landbridge.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]

The [[Landbridge]] spell, when cast on the far shore of a stretch of water separating two pieces of land, will join those pieces of land by raising the ocean floor. You can also use the spell to create a ramp up to the top of a cliff by standing at the bottom and casting the spell on the top; or you can join two hills together to make a handy defence platform. To Use: Find two pieces of land separated by a small stretch of water and move your [[Shaman]] to the edge of one shore. Left-click to select the [[Landbridge]] spell from the [[Spells]] Panel and move the mouse pointer so that it is on the edge of the opposite shore. Left-click to fire. It is possible to [[Sidedoor]] with this spell by join to an enemy's settlement land.
You can also use landbridge to save your shaman's life when she hits the water. If you cast the spell to a near by land just as your shaman hits the water, a strech of land will appear,saving your shaman from drowning

''Note: It does not work if you cast it in the middle of the ocean and it will also not work if you cast it directly on your [[shaman]].''

=Hill Making=
There are 4 steps to make very tall hills with [[Landbridge]] itself, starting with a flat bit of land.

Step 1: Cast [[Landbridge]] just over the ocean, or anywhere that makes that part of land slightly higher
than the rest.

Step 2: Cast [[Landbridge]] from halfway up the slope to the highest point of the land.

Step 3: Repeat the process until at desired height.

Step 4: Use a [[Landbridge]] or [[Flatten]] to make the top flat.

[[Image:firestorm.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]This spell will make fireballs fall from the sky. It can destroy up to four [[hut]]s and will usually kill anyone who gets into its path, except your own followers. It can also kill [[Angel of Death]]s. Anyone caught in it will, understandably run around in a panic, thus adding to the carnage. A good anti-base spell.
However firestorm is very ineffective against towers, so it would be unwise to use it against firewarriors sitting in an array of towers.

|Mana = 180

[[Image:ghost.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]The ghost army spell creates ghost followers of your own. These followers cannot build, go into huts, or sabotage enemy huts. If they are hit by a blast or get into a fist fight, they will disappear in a poof of smoke.

*Only available in multiplayer.
**The braves stay alive until they get hit by a spell or get into a fist fight.
**Ghosts will disapear after a long time if it hasn't been hurt.

== Using ghost army ==

'''Attacking'''

Ghost army can be used effectively when attacking especially on PP (Pressure Point) where its a common tool for the shaman.
Its often used by casting ghosts infront of towers so that the firewarriors in the towers hit the ghosts instead of the advancing shaman. The ghosts can then be sent to the towers to displace the firewarrior inside, if need be.

Ghosts can also be used against an enemy shaman. Once cast, the ghosts can be sent to the enemy shaman to push her in the water, off a hill or simply to keep her in one place, so that she can be thundered.

'''Defending'''

Ghosts can also be used as a defensive messure against enemy AoD (angel of deaths). If your enemy casts an AoD, ghosts can be used to patrol in and amoungst your base. This is effective because the ghosts distracts the AoD, helping to prevent your base from being damaged.

'''To Trick'''

Ghosts can be used to trick the enemy. If you cast a ghost near your shaman , then a duplicate ghost shaman will appear. this can be used to trick your enemy , causing them to defend against the ghost instead of the real shaman. Ghosts can also be cast near other units such as firewarriors to create duplicates. This can the be used to fool the enemy shaman in believing you have a stronger defence.

== Counter attack Ghost Army ==

Ghosts are weak against mele, so the best option would be to cast ghosts yourself then send them to the enemies ghosts, they will counter each other out.

Another method is to use swarm.

== Using ghost army ==

'''Attacking'''

Ghost army can be used effectively when attacking especially on PP (Pressure Point) where its a common tool for the shaman.
Its often used by casting ghosts infront of towers so that the firewarriors in the towers hit the ghosts instead of the advancing shaman. The ghosts can then be sent to the towers to displace the firewarrior inside, if need be.

Ghosts can also be used against an enemy shaman. Once cast, the ghosts can be sent to the enemy shaman to push her in the water, off a hill or simply to keep her in one place, so that she can be thundered.

'''Defending'''

Ghosts can also be used a defensive messure against enemy AoD (angel of deaths). If your enemy casts an AoD, ghosts can be used to patrol in and amoungst your base. This is effective because the ghosts distracts the AoD, helping to prevent your base from being damaged.

'''To Trick'''

Ghosts can be used to trick the enemy. If you cast a ghost near your shaman , then a duplicate ghost shaman will appear. this can be used to trick your enemy , causing them to defend against the ghost instead of the real shaman. Ghosts can also be cast near other units such as firewarriors to create duplicates. This can the be used to fool the enemy shaman in believing you have a stronger defence.
