BoA Editor Suggestions in Blades of Avernum Editor
Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Tuesday, August 17 2004 11:19 Profile #75 quote: Originally written by i: If the player wants to cheat, they will find a way. If the only reason for deny_spell() is really to ensure against that, then there is no reason for it. If players want to cheat, let them. It's their loss. How about this: deny_spell(what_spell, what_char_group, is_items, how_long) What spell is what spell# What_char_group means it can be any char, or a group. -1 means all chars is_items, 0 or 1. 0 = Not for items, 1 = items too. how_long gives a time limit. -1 means forever, 0 disables. And yes, the whole point is to disable spells. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480* \| Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00

Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Monday, August 16 2004 06:27 Profile #68 void deny_spell(which_spell) I would like to able to lock out certain spells. I could remove the spells, but then I would have to keep track of who had what, plus they could use the editor to get those levels back. Instead I just want to disable this spell(s) so that it can't be used. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 \| Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00

Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Saturday, August 14 2004 14:06 Profile #81 There is an occasional bug that when you scroll from an outdoor section to another outdoor section the game will bring up the "Do you want to save before loading the next section (or something like that)" and ask for open/cancel/save.

Water in the Desert? (Attn. Big Guys!!!) in Blades of Avernum Editor
Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Saturday, August 14 2004 12:36 Profile #19 I've not looked thorugh the docs for this, but I'm sure you can have multiple instances of a special item... You don't need a special item that is 1 flask, and another that is 2 flasks, and so on. Instead you have 1, 2, 3, 4... of special item flask.. And ditto for special item empty flask.. No weight, but no worries eh? Edit: According to docs you can give mul,tiple specials items, but only take away one (so use a loop), and check to see if they have (so 1 special item shoudl considered enough for the whole party, be it 1 or 6 peopl.. Although if you have 6 people you can accelerate the rate of water consumption...) [ Saturday, August 14, 2004 12:40: Message edited by: Dahak ] -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours.

Floating terrain? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Saturday, August 14 2004 12:33 Profile #14 Oh. So that is why. The problem is if (23,24) is much lower than (23,25) and (23,25) is floor 225, then 23,24 is drawn partly shown over (23,25). (because (23,25) is so high it blocks what should be "seen" from (23,24)) -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 \| Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00

Inner Sea in Blades of Avernum
Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Friday, August 13 2004 21:30 Profile #23 Maybe there is really really deep ocean that connects to the caves (ie underwater). The water mixes, the surface evaporates, it rains, water filters down? Maybe where Avernum is geographically located (in relation to the surface) has several holes and a heavy monsoon season. Water pours in. Maybe Avernum is under an ocean and the rocks filter the ocean seepage. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 \| Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00
Floating terrain? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Friday, August 13 2004 10:19 Profile #12 One of my problems is how BoA draw grahpics. 1) If the terrain difference does not exist: don't draw cliffs. No way around except to use auxiallary graphics (see the 3 floor looking icons on the water?) 2) Sometimes graphics will "shine through" another graphics. Something about how it knows when Graphic A should cover Graphic B. I've yet to figure all the rules, but it annoying at times. The south corner is an example. If I use walls, the water shines through, so I use darkness. Like I said earlier, I'm going to try a blank cutaway view. EDIT: Blank Cutaway...
