Hmm... wouldn't it be (1 - 5) for each? Meaning, a random number 13 times, not a random number once, times 13? -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

I vaguely remember seeing a screenshot of a Geneforge campaign editor -- I believe it was right before either Geneforge or Geneforge 2 came out. Jeff probably took it down because he figured it wasn't appropriate for public consumption. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

It would probably be a good idea to make your scenario first, using placeholder graphics, and then ask around for new ones only when you're done. There isn't really much incentive to make custom graphics if you don't even know that they will end up being used, since many scenarios usually end up taking up space on a hard drive somewhere because the designer lost interest. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0...

Just an idea: If you feel up to it, you could have an NPC who goes around lighting all the lamps at nightfall! It would probably be hard to implement, but if you pulled it off it would really add a lot of realism. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

Yep, that's it. "end()" ends the state, not the if block. To end the if block, all you need is the closing bracket. What you're doing has the state ending at the end of the first if block. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

I tried placing a resource with the same ID as the "boom" sheet in a .cmg file, and then tried loading the modified boom. Apparently the engine loads the custom resources first, and then the core resources, so the custom one got overwritten. Looks like you have to modify the game files if you want custom booms/missiles/effects. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

You could also take advantage of the day/night cycle in that deserts are freezing cold at night. I'm pretty sure Drakefyre has described somewhere how to utilize the ticks for that, and you could have a whole system set up of different wandering monsters at day and night, different kinds of restrictions on your party, and a whole slew of interesting challenges. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0...

quote:Sorry, but that statement annoys me. Homosexuality is not a system of beliefs. People do not choose to be gay. Nor can you generalize and say that they are great people or not. They vary just like any other people; straight, bi, whatever. You can find any number of gay people with one set of beliefs, and as many or more with a different set. There are tolerant homosexuals, and fundamentalist christian homosexuals. I'm not sure if I expressed what I wanted to say eloquently enough, but I hope you can get the gist of it. -------------------- who? Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

I assume you're talking about the script files. As far as I know, you don't really need any line breaks at all, as long as commands are separated by semicolons. (If someone knows differently, please correct me!) I'm pretty sure carriage returns, line feeds, tabs, and spaces (outside of a command) are ignored by the engine, except when an error gives you the line number for the script. So, basically, use whichever you wish. (Mac formatting works for me, and I'm on a Mac) -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |
