Geneforge wiki? in Geneforge Series
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Monday, January 14 2008 18:11 Profile #21 I like the in-universe perspective. However (assuming MediaWiki), you could reserve the Main namespace for in-universe content, and create an extra namespace for the kind of gameplay stuff you mentioned. Of course, in-universe is by no means a requirement. If you'd rather not have an in-universe perspective, that's perfectly fine. Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00

Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Monday, January 14 2008 18:03 Profile #37 Can you be more specific? It sounds like you're advocating an increase in the maximum possible value allowed in the various fields for Items and Monsters. Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00

Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Monday, January 14 2008 03:38 Profile #64 It works now. A minor oddity though – the teaser is completely ignored on the main page and the full description is shown. Nothing serious though. Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00

Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Sunday, January 13 2008 09:51 Profile #35 A few questions: Are you basing all code on the Windows sources? Or are you taking Mac sources into account, too? What platform are you doing this work on? Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00

Geneforge wiki? in Geneforge Series
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Sunday, January 13 2008 09:44 Profile #16 quote: Originally written by Unhasty: That's five people counting myself and (I am assuming) Celtic Minstrel. I am certainly willing to contribute, but I've only played the demos. So I won't be able to contribute a lot. quote: Originally written by Unhasty: terrestia.ermarian.net or geneforge.ermarian.net I like these two the best. As for the Geneforge-Avernum syncretism thing, there's nothing that can be done about that if Arancaytar is hosting it, unless he wants to buy a new domain name. Which I very highly doubt.

Geneforge wiki? in Geneforge Series
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Saturday, January 12 2008 17:59 Profile #3 quote: Originally written by Unhasty: EE draws from Exile as much as Avernum. I know this. But storyline-wise, they're basically pretty much the same games. (Okay, there's a few differences, such as gorgons and apparently the golem dungeon.) quote: Originally written by Unhasty: While a site covering some of the major players, locations, ideas, etc. in Geneforge might be cool, the world isn't even remotely as expansive as Ermarian is. Maybe not, but it's still pretty expansive. Way more so than Nethergate, for example (there wouldn't really be a point in having a Nethergate wiki).

Geneforge wiki? in Geneforge Series
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Saturday, January 12 2008 16:46 Profile #0 Is there a Geneforge wiki? And, if not (as I suspect), is there any interest in such a thing? After all, the Avernum games have their own wiki. Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00

Instant death nodes in Blades of Avernum
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Monday, January 7 2008 18:02 Profile #50 Lego. We, however, were talking about Logo, an educational programming language that is similar to Lisp and makes it easy to draw geometric shapes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_ (programming_language) (don't click the second link – copy it into your address bar and remove the space between the underscore and the open parenthesis. I wish I could have made a proper link, but this stupid board can't handle URLs that contain parentheses. :rolleyes: ) Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00
Instant death nodes in Blades of Avernum
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Monday, January 7 2008 17:10 Profile #48 For me, it would have been later than 1994, I think. I would have been... um... seven in 1994? Something like that. I don't think I started learning Logo quite that early. I think it was after I got my first Mac (an LC 68k!). Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00

Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Monday, January 7 2008 12:48 Profile #46 Yay Logo! That was the first "programming" language I ever learnt. :P It's almost amazing what you can do with it though. Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00

Teleportation in Blades of Avernum Editor
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Sunday, January 6 2008 15:17 Profile #1 You need to use a terrain script. If there is only going to be one such portal, you can use the specobj.txt script, which can be found in the Sample Scripts folder (under Terrain Scripts). Just copy it into your scenario folder, assign it to the portal space, and set memory cell 0 to the town state that contains the code for handling the portal. If you're going to have several of them, it's worth making a dedicated terrain script. You can copy the specobj.txt, rename it portal.txt, and replace the "run_town_script" line with the portal handling code. I believe there is a teleport_party command to handle the actual teleportation. Keep in mind that this will only work for teleportation within a town, because you can only move between towns in certain, restrictive situations. If you need to move between towns, you'll probably have to code each portal separately, and you won't be able to make it activate when searched – only when stepped into.

post-nuclear setting, would it be possible? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Sunday, January 6 2008 05:17 Profile #1 Probably, but it would be with magic. You can't disable the magic. (I'm not sure if there is a way to prevent players from using it.) It would also have little oddities. For example, if you wanted a gun which can run out of ammunition, you would have to tell the game that it's a crossbow (or a bow). BoE and BoA are best for fantasy settings. If you wanted a fantasy fallout, it's probably possible. Incidentally, there is a BoE scenario called Nightfall which is based on an Asimov book. BoE is now open source (and hence free), so you could try that out to see if it is the type of scenario you would like to make. And remember that BoA can do more things than BoE. In case you don't know: BoE = Blades of Exile BoA = Blades of Avernum Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00
