What KIND of scenerios do you like and what do you expect from them? in Blades of Avernum

Well?
I strongly recomend NOT viewing results until you vote. The reason it still allows you to see without voting is in case you dont want to vote, and just want to see what other people want from scenerios (like me.)

Hasn't anyone ported this yet?! What's the hold up? ;)
First, dont complain. Us mac users wait all the time for games because they come for PC first. Im STILL waiting for Age of Mythology: Titans for mac :eek:
Be patient.
Second, yes, you can switch between 2d, 3d in the editor.

That gives me an idea. A World of people that are bar coded so the empire can call them up easier!
As for gifts, maybe color coded ribbons on their necks.

*Sees 3d editor*
I LOVE YOU MAN! Now I can spend time to test on my scripts, not how everything graphical looks! Your beautiful man! :D :D
Jeff Vogal should offer you money! :D :D

EDIT: As for beta testing, I am having trouble with secret walls locations in the 3D mode. But still, very great work! Begone are the sweets of me having to make editor graphics specificaly for the editor for my custom terrains and objs...
The icons are kinda small in the window where you choose terrain or floors. I suggest lessening the amount of terrain and floors on the scrolling thing so you can increase their size.
Like I keep saying over and over again, great job!

EDIT 2: 3D Editing does not allow Setting Item atributes(charges and drawing shifts and the like) nor does it allow changing of creature atributes during 3D Mode. And as of the 2d wandering monster and script terrain icons, just use the icons from the 2d editor in the 3d mode. put them on the side of the terrain. So the scroll, B, Red Circle, Spawn locations, all those icons appear in a 3d way on terrain. Change the perspective of the icon(ex:Scroll for terrain script) so it looks like it is slanted.

You think your scripts end up that way, Archimage Micael, but look at some of mine. One is where a wand would transform a foe into another one. It ended up killing the party member that was first in line :(
you will get the hang of it, eventually.

You are missing INIT_STATE.
Also, the text1 is shown AFTER the shopping is OVER with, so it makes more sense for it to say you finish shopping. Other then that, I will copy and paste your script into my testing scenerio and hammer out whats wrong.
Be right back.

EDIT! Oh! You should NOT have break; at the end of dialouge scripts!

EDIT 2:Sorry, my eyes are bad and cant read the small code print until I paste it to something larger :(
Well, Why do you start with node 6? You have a new set of nodes and states for each town.

EDIT 3:I know people have their own ways of doing things, but I suggest a series of nodes together that are for one charecter.Like nodes 1-10 could be for one and 11-20 could be for another.

EDIT 4: You forgot your break after beginshopmode. Also, have the code after the code line, like
code =
Your code here;
break;

EDIT 5: This is how the script looks with all the changes. It will now work.

text1 = "_I am an armorsmith. Would you like to browse my wares?_";

begintalknode 6;

text1 = "_I make weapons. Have a look at my inventory?_";

begintalknode 7;

nextstate = 7;
question = "Item Vendor";

//If you want to change the price adjustment, change the next to last number. The

state = 7;
nextstate = -1;
question = "Purchase Items";
code =
begin_shop_mode("Items",127,1,1);

The problems: You had break after the entire script but forgot your breaks in the code = places.

This scripting is really new to me, but I still got it down packed(almost) in 1 month, making test scenerios for my friends to build my scripting ability. NOW im making my real scenerio.
EV Nova was the only other thing I used to use computer language on. Other then that and BoA(and the fact I had a computer since I was 3 ;) ) really helps. But dont fret. No matter what, as long as you practice, youll get better. Make a few test scenerios for your friends, build your ability, then make your real scenerio. It just takes practice. :)

Just for a thought, who voted that they hate the GIFTS? You dont have to show who you are if you dont want to, but I am curious.
And here is a question that was not on the poll because I just thought it up.
What do you think of the color? Does it suit the GIFTS?

My idea im working on is a machine cave, which the party goes into. It leads to a portal, which is the gateway to Paralell Universes. Being the party you are, you get involved in those world's affairs. They have slight changes to the history. One, the only one I have now, is a world in which the Vhanitis thingys were never discovered, because the empire decieded agenst stealing the crystal souls. What do you think?

Yes, your right about making it up, its a simple script, and very dangoures too. It makes quickfire where the drinker is. It's a custom item from a scenerio im working on.

There is a very easy way to tell a GIFTS appart from a question mark. You see, one as a swirl and a dot, and the other has 6-8 legs and runs around saying 'your cute' :D
Im just joking with you man ;) Really, I dont understand what you mean.
