So we might as well stick with the outdated traditions just for the heck of it.

Memories of Things Long Past at Spiderweb in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Sunday, November 13 2005 07:35 Profile Homepage #8 So perhaps a special occasion stuck in mind more than the others? I remember that I came in just when the "golden days" people like to refer to were ending, or shortly after they ended. Misc was gone, Scorp was leaving, etc. The Sands of Time were the first roleplay I saw (although I'd seen Around the Place a long time before I joined, when I was lurking). But we had our share of golden days after that. Remember Baltazar? The Avernum RP? The Pied Piper? And years from now people will talk about the grand mod elections. ^_^ [ Sunday, November 13, 2005 07:36: Message edited by: NaNoWriMo ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Resetting the automap? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, November 12 2005 15:59 Profile Homepage #5 Perhaps it would even be enough to have a special set of "unmappable" terrains and floors. Since the cave would only need cave wall, floor and perhaps a few special features, it would not take a lot of slots. I'm currently thinking (vaguely; I haven't got a solid plan yet) about how one could implement a randomly generated dungeon or even an infinitely continuing dungeon as in Adom or Angband. Generating a dungeon randomly was basically impossible with nodes, but I haven't yet learned enough about Avernumscript to know that it is hopeless in BoA as well. ;) -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Resetting the automap? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, November 12 2005 07:46 Profile Homepage #0 Is there some way to reset the automap of a town after the players have already explored it? I don't need to block the automap feature completely, I just need the game to "forget" this area has already been explored. The call could even be made once upon entering the town; I don't need to reset the map while the player inside the town. This is because there are substantial changes to the town, and I can't have the automap showing the previously explored, but now changed areas. I'm trying to avoid having to generate a new town for this, since it needs to happen at least several, if not an almost unlimited number of times - is that possible? -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

In fact, you could also refer to what is normally called base 16 as base 10000 in what is normally called base 2, and this would at the same time mean what is otherwise called base 4096 in what is usually referred to as base 8.

Not even things I used to really want - new video games, fast computers, such things. So apparently actually having money has the opposite effect on me. Since I can buy it if I really want to, I don't feel the need to buy it right now.
