Thoroughly disgusted in Blades of Exile
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Thursday, September 9 2004 17:48 Profile Homepage #26 Really? I'll be damned. Linda is even worse than I thought. She really CC'd that to you? This is an insult. I have bought Spiderweb games in the past, and if this is how they choose to treat the people who produce content for a game that they no longer work on but still profit on... well, they don't deserve any more profit from me. I was going to buy BoA, but not now. Not ever. Not unless some major changes happen, starting first with some apologies. -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke.

Thoroughly disgusted in Blades of Exile
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Thursday, September 9 2004 14:56 Profile Homepage #22 It would be feasible to develop a community-serviced scenario database. You'd simply have a password system -- scenario designers sign up for an account; you add a few administrators; other than that, the scenario designers themselves add and modify their scenario entries and upload the appropriate files. This system would make it so that the only administrative red tape would be that required to manage accounts and keep an eye out for abuse. Combine this with an Alexandria-style system and you have a searchable scenario database, complete with scores, kept current by those with the most interest in keeping it so. Scenarios by people who are no longer around in the community could be grandfathered in by the administrators, since there's little chance of the original author needing to modify the record. All it requires is some scripting, some HTML, and a nice SQL database. And effort. And interest. I've been planning on implementing such a system for Pyg. It'll be fun.

For People With Sick Minds in General
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Thursday, September 9 2004 14:22 Profile Homepage #11 quote: Originally written by Magic Hunter Gurrrrl: Bah. I had a friend who had that book when I was like, eleven and being a -ahem- "goth". We all sat around in fishnet armlets and made up epitaphs. Gawd. Also, the phrases 'twisted sense of humour' and "sick mind" bug me, as they are mostly used by people to refer to themselves who do not have either such qualities. Now Scorpius has a twisted sense of humour and a sick mind. You know, I have to totally agree with you. So does Spigot, I might add. WHACK HACK. I think it was Poppy Z. Brite, who would know, who said that "you can only be a goth for so long. You either end up killing yourself, or you become a poseur." Damn skippy. -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke.

Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Wednesday, September 1 2004 17:47 Profile Homepage #23 I approached Vogel back in the day about releasing a sort of 1930's Fallout-ish game that I was working on, under the working title of MobWars. Never got completed; got devoured in a larger project as my games so often do. Anyway, he was totally open to the idea. I mean, it's not like it costs him much; SW's costs can be recouped with the few copies sold before people realize the game is crap, and nobody holds the crappiness against the company itself. Of course, I'd never let Vogel put his grubby hands on anything I make anymore. -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke. Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00

Poll: Password protected scenarios: what do you think? in Blades of Avernum
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Sunday, August 29 2004 07:12 Profile Homepage #15 A few things: * BoE's passwording was implemented entirely in the scenario editor. Thus, it was trivial to patch the password out of the scenario or... do other things to get around it; Imban knows what I'm talking about. * Two-way encryption is inherently insecure. The very nature of its reversibility makes it possible, if not trivial, to crack. Remember, at some point the scenario needs to be unencrypted to play it; if you think a good cracker can't lift the algorithm to do it out of the engine, you are incredibly wrong. It's how keygen cracks are made. * All it takes is one person to figure out how to crack the editor or the game and the entire password system is foiled. BoA is not very big; it is easily redistributable. * If you can't unencrypt the scenario, it's useless. Period. Overwhelming: re. BOAC visitors: Are you taking into account dynamic IPs? Some dialup ISPs change people's IPs more often than my brother's girlfriend changes her hair. Also, are you referring to unique user agents, IPs, or sessions? I've never actually heard of a stat engine checking the second, the former is unreliable, and the last doesn't actually rule out the same person with several sessions. In any case, the visitors to BoAC are sadly insignificant. The simple truth is that as of now, the majority of actual released scenarios were designed by Mackers using modified scenario editors.

Where should I start designing? in Blades of Exile
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Friday, August 27 2004 07:28 Profile Homepage #101 quote: Originally written by Gizmo: I am in the process of making a scenario(which I hope to be a series) with no magic. There will be no priest or mage spells available to buy, no magically locked doors, no crumbling walls that need Move Mountains to get through, no demons, and no goblins(specifically for Ben's mom). So what you're saying is that it's boring. Seriously. Perhaps if people are offended by magic, which is the entire point of the fantasy genre, maybe they should not play Exile, which is a fantasy game featuring not only magic but also demons. Just a thought. Similarly, you should not go to a BSDM club unless you are willing to watch and perhaps partake in people being beaten, restrained, etc. And maybe you also shouldn't attend the Church of Satan if you find the idea offensive. -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke.

Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Thursday, August 26 2004 20:38 Profile Homepage #96 quote: Originally written by The Great 4808: Wow, Aceron. I find that pretty revelant to me except for the god party and deleting BoE every once in a while. Scenario designers make scecarios that require magic such as Unlock and Move Mountains because they see no reason that somebody would want to play it without magic, I think. That's because, statistically speaking, most BoE players are neither psychotic fundies nor the children of such. Aceron, do you have anything of merit to say anymore other than "I used to be important, I know some people here! also magic and demons are evil"? If you don't want to deal with such material, play Civilization or something instead of playing games in a genre that includes it as a matter of course.
