A free great text/script editor for BoA! in Blades of Avernum
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Friday, July 16 2004 01:27 Profile #23 Eh. I don't find this too useful. Colouring is helpful and the project feature could be useful I guess, but it doesn't do anything else I want it to. In particular, if you select a block of text, and press tab, it doesn't indent - it replaces the text with a tab character. Logical, perhaps, but I find it much more intuitive to press tab to indent a selected block than Ctrl-I or whatever weird shortcut key. Oh, and if word wrap is on, it won't jump to lines correctly. Blech. Nor will auto-indent work correctly. I'll stick with Textpad, thanks; it has shareware nag screens, but it's almost perfect for my uses. Find is mapped to weird keys, but other than that it's much nicer. It has colouring, too. Takes a small bit of fiddling to get it working, though; you have to make a new document class; Configure -> New Document Class, call it AvernumScript, use C colouring, and enable the class for .txt files; then you have to go and delete .txt from the Text document class to make it happy. Oh, and PC only, sorry Mac users. -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE. You're an ANT." --Antz Posts: 104 \| Registered: Saturday, November 17 2001 08:00

Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Wednesday, July 14 2004 15:13 Profile #5 In a word: Schweeeeet! Now someone just needs to port it to Windows. glances around Hey, don't look at me, guys. I only have four days of holiday left! I mean, c'mon! :P Edit: By the way, if you want PC users to be able to download the source code, you may want to package it as a zip. Stuffit files can theoretically be unstuffed using free software on the PC, but in practice I ran into all sorts of problems the only time I ever tried. And I tried about ten different programs. :( [ Wednesday, July 14, 2004 15:25: Message edited by: Crunchy Frog ] -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE.

The everyone-dies ending in Blades of Avernum Editor
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Wednesday, July 14 2004 03:30 Profile #0 I have a little scenario I'm experimenting with. It has several endings. In one of those endings, the party suicides. However, due to the circumstances, that's actually considered a perfectly okay ending, and the easiest option to resolve the problem in the scenario. It's obviously far from ideal, but none of the other options are that great either. I'm being deliberately vague here so as to avoid spoiling anything, just in case the scenario ever does get released (don't hold your breath :rolleyes: ). Now the question. Would it be better to indicate to the player that this is an acceptable ending and then kill the party, OR to end the scenario normally (and if the latter, should the "win" flag be set or not)? -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant."

True, but first you save your game near 'some' wall section then cast Far Sight. If you don't see any secret passages around, then just restore. I do that all the time. :D James Ooooooooooooooo.............. I did that with the Far Sight scroll before I learned the spell........ The Load Game spell kinda makes a whole bunch of other spells slightly redundant, doesn't it? :rolleyes: Also, what is this, the world's biggest quote box pyramid? :D -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant."

How do you people DO it?! in Blades of Avernum Editor
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Sunday, July 11 2004 01:15 Profile #2 To get walls, switch to terrain mode. Look at the top-right and you'll see a bunch of wall segments; some dark grey, some brown. Place these walls on the map so they line up like walls should, and you can build buildings. It takes a while though; one of the things that really annoys me about the editor is how much more difficult placing walls is than in Blades of Exile. For people, guards, monsters, and so on, use the C1, C2, etc. menus. Select a type of creature and click on the map to place it. Shopkeepers are a little more complicated, as they require scripting. It'd take a while to explain, so I'll let someone else do it. :D The manual explains it fairly well if you're already a programmer, but if you're not it can take some getting used to. By the way - Blaspheme, what does your signature mean? I don't know a word of French. :) -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE.
