Frills are floors, not terrains. They cannot be spray painted. Or did that get changed in the latest version of the 3D editor? -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00 |

As far as I know frills are hard-coded and you can only change them by replacing the graphic. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00 |

1. Are the sign terrains (213, 214, 215) hard-coded as signs? Can a 4th sign be made or does it need to replace one? 2. Is it safe to mess with the beam projector & mirror terrains (380 - 389)? 3. Since I have dial-up I haven't checked the new BoA beta, but do stairs still cause the cliffs they are aginast to be blacked out whether or not the floor is suppressed? 4. What terrains are unsafe to mess with due to bugs or hard-coded behavior? -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00 |

So would I, but it takes a long long long time. That plus I still need to do the scripting. Bah! The hardest part is the writer's block. I mean I have the following: Nethergate where the party can rest and shop while waiting. (2 levels) Squiggly mountain/cave pass. (2 levels) Tendo Hall, home to rich lord. (4 towns large) Northwind, our snowed in trade/fishing village (2 towns levels) The mining camp. (1 level) The heavenly abode. (3 levels) Elemental towers. (6 levels) Capital city. (4 towns) Scout tower. (1 town) 3 hidden trainers (3 towns) The enchanted palace (2 levels) disguised temple (2 towns/variants) Mindscape (1 town) Moving the party smoothly along is slow and hard work, and I just can't figure out how I'm supposed to get the party to go into the enchanted palace in order to recover the elements from the towers. Oh, and each elemental tower has the ability to move the party to a unique outdoor section. Northwind is from the water tower. The main game is from the earth tower. The fire tower goes nowhere yet. The air tower leads to the temples/mindscape. [ Saturday, February 17, 2007 23:11: Message edited by: Dahak ] -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours.

The Fool's Errand. Old B&W game, all puzzles w/ storyline. However you may have problems running it under Windows. If you can find a good Mac System 6/7/8/9 emulator however you can play it pretty well. Don't use Classic as the any Quickdraw based game has issues due to buffering. Other good oldies include Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle, Realmz :D . Also try The Ninja Game (Flash download) Very addictive and fun. Just load iTunes with some good music and away you go trying to beat all 200 levels. BTW, does anyone know of a Mac OS X LodeRunner game? Masters of Orion 2, Galactic Civs are good. Skip Masters of Orion 3. Does Baslisk work on Intel Macs? On the SNES front: Lufia 1 & 2 FF6 Chrono Trigger -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours.

I would probably use blue and violets. Sunset, Morning, Cloudy, or other sky type? Any dominating colors? edit: 3 wide would make it wider than it being taller. The building could feel squat. Perhaps a variety of 1 wide, 2 high windows. I could make a 3 high window, 2 wide but you would have to use 2 terrain slots similar to the Nethergate Tower.

For the windows do you want certain icons or geometric patterns? Do you want them 1 or 2 high. 1 or 2 wide? Are there specific colors you wish to use? Do you want an arched window as a terrain against a wall, or do you want an arched windows as part of the wall? Or do you want a rectangular window? -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours.

Help! Scripting is complicated! in Blades of Avernum | |

3 basic sections: begin variables body The body contains states. Each state is called as programmed or by design (see editor for placing specials). Example: The state is #12 as shown by beginstate 12; The state ends with break; It begins with an if to check the value of flag 0,0. If the value of 0,0 is 250 then end() is called.Following that is a series of messages to be displayed to the character and setting of flag 0,0 to the value of 250. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours.

Gah, I've had to do some complete redesigns as well as making graphics. At least that is done. Since I am unable to import scenarios and look at their items, I was hoping that people could give me ideas for items that are reminders of BoE scenarios or community events. Silly items are encouraged. Examples: Musical Spehere - Bless party and plays music (Spheres) Flying Pot - (Baba Yaga) Clockwork Spider - Says, "HI!" (GIFTS) Gold Trophy - On it: "1st Scenario Contest, 1st Place" (Community Event) Undoomgahvaz Armor - Same as BoE item Red Berries - Random Status Effect (Tatterdamelion) These do not need to be items that you carry between scenarios. The party can earn money in this scenario. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00 |
