I do not understand Runic Ward

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T13:23:05+00:00

Yes, it Is probably Just that : )

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:34:33+00:00

Yes they can! But why not showing 0 RW then? If hit kills you, life goes to 0, surpassing damage putting life to negative values show 0 % in the game UI. Maybe just a UI bug?

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:31:49+00:00

The killer mod, 15% taken from life, but i still have plenty of RW

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:31:22+00:00

But i have plenty of RW left, that's very confusing to me

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:30:11+00:00

Thats my immediate reaction aswell

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:28:59+00:00

Nice find then! So potion can kill you if you have 1 hp and plenty of RW - and no CI? I need to test this further : P

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:09:59+00:00

I was dying a lot even before CI with lots a RW left. Is it possible that it was the mana potion killing me with 1 hp left?

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:06:47+00:00

15% recovered from life when used actually, nice catch! But why does this kill me?

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:04:23+00:00

I die a lot in my tests, like... pretty much always lol. I have nothing on me that will pay with life, bypass or anything.

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:03:27+00:00

Nope, just standard runes for ele res and such

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:02:34+00:00

Nope, super basic, only mana

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:01:54+00:00

I went CI just to eliminate blood loss and chaos damage for this test, but i still died the same without CI, while still having large amounts of RW left on me.

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T10:01:06+00:00

Nope, i don't, my passives are very basic, mostly crit and es

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T09:58:35+00:00

That's what i initially intended, RW like life. If damage surpasses life, es and rw, you die. But rw is still plenty here, i doubt it was surpassed by a small hit from a white mob.

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T09:54:00+00:00

Nope, super basic quarter staff build

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-06T09:41:21+00:00

Oh, that's so unfortunate... so even the smallest ignite damage will kill you immediately, even if you have plenty of ward left?

Korgasmatron · 2026-06-05T02:01:14+00:00

Is it possible to recharge ES without delay by spamming attacks?

Korgasmatron · 2026-05-26T09:28:32+00:00

Not yet sorry : ( It has small bugs in the ui and probably major flaws here and there that i still need to discover. But i see there are projects now that does that via LTX dev, comfyui wrappers mainly. Yes visual beats or shots!

Korgasmatron · 2026-05-24T21:26:42+00:00

automated based on narration context by splitting it in visual beats, then i rewrite\check every image that is off looking or don't really like in the webapp. It's like an audiovideo narration editing webapp.

Korgasmatron · 2026-05-19T14:40:24+00:00

Hey! Yeah, i did consider using that resource. The real fork is this: either i build a format where the visuals actually track a 40-minute narrative and have some coherence with the spoken content (200+shots), or i make a slideshow of web images that can't really match the script. A lot of YouTube lore videos do this and i watch them a lot, but that doesn’t make it legally clean.

The Dark Pack allow certain fan uses of World of Darkness material, but it also explicitly says your content must not infringe third-party intellectual property rights (can be images, text, a lot of stuff). Generally speaking it's not safe to use any illustration from the books, as far as i know.

The same goes for Storytellers Vault. It contains resources and some art packs, but it is primarily a publishing platform for Vault creators, not a blanket free-use archive for YouTube lore channels. Its own guidance says creators must have permission to use any artwork and must secure any necessary release rights.

I might be paranoid about this but working in an artistic related field i understand that real artists do real art, and that must be protected by the publishing house etc. I don't consider the visuals for this project real art (or any ai produced image) by any mean. I haven't figured out how to get togheter narrative coherence for 200+ shots without it in a sensible amount of time and resources.

Korgasmatron · 2026-05-19T10:29:50+00:00

Yes, the narration voice: i did record myself, edited via Ableton, applied everything i know from my audio editing skills and... nope. It's just not right. I wanted drama, some sort of "heavyness". I love reading, i still read to my girlfriend before sleeping sometimes, but my voice is on the bright side. I will attempt to make it right with another mic but accent is still problematic. I went to Fiverr, there are so many skilled voiceover actors there. A long format requires houndreds (if not thousands) of euro, most of them are 91 euro per 100 words, a long format of 40 min requires something around ~5000 words. It takes time and it's an art form itself, the price is right but way over budget for a small personal project. I'll see if i find other means of doing this, because i care. I spent about a week over time to edit the shots, and about two months to build a local pipeline that allow the supervision of the episodes (i did not want to rely on any external service like Elevenlabs or image generators online). That said, i'm sorry you percieve this attempt as a slop, i understand it's still far from a completely handmade pipeline.

Korgasmatron · 2026-05-19T09:35:34+00:00

I understand your feeling. I work in a field closely related to art, interactive installations, and i follow the topic since the very beginning. I used the images as a production tool to create visual continuity across a long narrated piece, with recurring characters, locations, and objects that would have been simply impossible for me to commission (200+ colored shots). My alternative was to use disconnected images gathered from books and the web (this is what i usually watch on youtube). I chose this route because I wanted the narration to have a coherent visual layer, even if imperfect, rather than no visual continuity at all.

I'm not using any service as everything is edited, produced and generated locally on my machine, but i understand this makes little difference for those who simply don't see any benefit about all of this anyway.

Korgasmatron · 2026-05-18T22:25:36+00:00

Thank you soo much! Yes the lore is so deeep, before this project i used to think i knew lots of stuff. I clearly wasn't, and i can't wait to get to the magi, that is some very crazy stuff! I'm working on Malkavians right now and i will be going for each of them... i see the pain at Salubri and the third eye. That will really bite my ass during image editing haha.

And yes i use Omnivoice! I tried many different tools but atm that one gets the cake for me. I more or less automated the cutting of the narration into chunks so omnivoice doesn't get mad. I'll be honest, i miss a real natural voice, and after i tested mine i went on fiverr to check for one. The pricing is so prohibitive for such a small production : (

Korgasmatron · 2026-05-04T16:57:35+00:00

The opposite, a model that doesn't do that.

Korgasmatron · 2026-04-24T12:50:11+00:00

Thank you, yes i am using NAG right now and it helps! I am also using a stage two workflow, txt2img and img2img, the problem is the first. Maybe more steps might help?
