Help Me. (A.K.A Look at my Scenario) in Blades of Avernum
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Tuesday, March 14 2006 03:59 Profile Homepage #8 All taken into account CPeters. I should stress this is not a complete sceanrio, again, and as such, has not been debugged. That said, some of your "bugs" shouldn't be happening. Especially in Town 1. Rita should also talk, unless I've seriously messed up somewhere... I'll check when I get home from college later. Fort Bluebird is also unfinished. Hence the lack of anything in certain areas... Right: Error Message: "Fort Bluebird Error: Unmatched parenthesis in line 65". - Didn't get this error. Dialogue - Jessica: "...pause. _Then, weel, when..." should be "...pause. _Then, well, when..." - Okay, squished that typo. Dialogue - Rita: She says nothing. - This seems to be an error with the creature script. She is changing sides too soon. I'll have to check this later, since I've not got access to the Scen Editor. Error Message: "Fort Bluebird Error: Improper command in line 48." Error Message: "Fort Bluebird Error: State not ended properly in line 9." - Didn't get these. Error Message: "Outdoors Error: Missing semicolon in line 0". - This one confuses me. There is a semicolon. I'll check later. Intro text doesn't display properly: it doesn't fit. - It does for me, although it is close. Again, I'll shave this off later. Initial special encounter: "There also doesn't seem to be any..." should be changed to just "There doesn't seem to be any...". Also: "...get upto speed..." should be "...get up to speed...". - Points noted. Dialogue - Bill (Weapons): "...you'd prefer to muck out a dragon, or..." should be either "...you'd prefer to muck about with a dragon, or..." OR "...you'd prefer to muck around with a dragon, or..." OR something similar. - No. You'd prefer to muck out a dragon. I.e, clean it's waste... Special encounter - Fort Orchid (1): the encounter at the smithy does not get turned off after triggering it the first time. - Simple flag switch. Fixed. Special encounter - Fort Orchid (1): I think that the encounter at the temple; "...yet high-ceiled temple, a..." should be "...yet high-ceilinged temple, a..." - someone correct me if I'm wrong here. - Not sure. :P Error Message: "Fort Orchid Error: Unmatched parenthesis in line 69". Unless you are saving the script in Mac format, (plain carriage return) as opposed to Windows format (carriage return & linefeed) you will get incorrect line numbers from BoA. - What caused this? I can't replicate it. Outdoors (0,0): Make your forests less 'uniform'. They don't seem chaotic enough to actually be a forest. - Will do. Fort Orchid (1): Barracks has nothing in the lockers. - They have scripts preventing you from using them. Fort Bluebird (2): Barracks (x25,y45), kitchen (x40,y45), and the "Women's Toilets" (x13,y43) are completely barren. Spice it up a little. Fort Bluebird (2): Not all the doors at the "Women's Toilets" (x13,y43) are locked. Fort Bluebird (2): Demon pit is non-exitable. Add a stairway, prevent the party from jumping in, or let them starve to death for being numbnuts. - Town not finished. Fort Bluebird (3): Completely empty. If unneeded, delete it. Fort Bluebird (3): Height is set incorrectly in a storage area, near x45,y12. Fort Bluebird (3): Floor type 42 & 43 are used at the edges, causing an unnatural repeating set of floor tiles. - This town is surplus to requirements. I toyed with using VTE, but decided not to.

Help Me. (A.K.A Look at my Scenario) in Blades of Avernum
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Monday, March 13 2006 11:27 Profile Homepage #5 quote: Originally written by Ephesos: And is this meant to be an alpha/beta call? If so, it's the most informal one I've ever seen... It's neither. It's an "I'm making a scenario, but think it sucks, and so need some designers/players to offer feedback and advice on it" call. Seriously. I've been thinking. I like what I have. But even at this stage I can see errors, oversights and so on. The scenario isn't complete. My original post said as much. :) As for reaching me to offer feedback and advice: (in bold for clarity) Email at: nikkisjeffery(at)hotmail.co.uk Reply in this thread. Chat on AIM (Handle: Saralfur) or MSN (using above email address) As for Niemand's response : quote: I'd say that it looks pretty good so far. I like the town and outdoor design; they look good and still make it easy to get around. The plot device with the crystals sounds rather strongly like that in A Perfect Forest, and it's a bit unclear why all of the mages are acting crazy. Over all it looks like, if it is finished and has a few details worked out, it can be a reasonably good scenario. I did get a lot of details from Stareye, so plot similarities are HIS fault. :P Thanks for the feedback on town design - this, at least, I feel I'm good at. As for the magi acting weird... The shade/ghost/whatever is using mind powers to get them to free it. Think the second Harry Potter book where Ginny did all sorts without knowing it. That's what I'm aiming for, at least. :P Thralni: I'll be on tomorrow hopefully. There, hope that's all okay!

Help Me. (A.K.A Look at my Scenario) in Blades of Avernum
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Monday, March 13 2006 06:03 Profile Homepage #0 As a lot of you may know, I'm currently attempting to write a scenario. And I need help. A lot of good people (Thralni, NightSwamp, Khoth...) have given advice so far, and have given me a lot to think about. Acting on that, I sat down and evaluated the work I'd done so far... And I'm afraid it's bad. There are glaring oversights. It's poorly designed. I'm starting to dislike it. So I'm going to host the whole thing for a while, and let some of the pros take a look. If you have a spare hour or so, please go through it, and see if it's okay? In particular, I'd love for TM, Kelandon, Stareye, Khoth, Ash and Ephesos to look, although anybody can download it... Oh, and I should mention that THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE SCENARIO. So I don't want a post tomorrow saying "Hey, I can't find the magic cane in the Goblin Fort", or whatever. :) It's also in Windows format, due to custom graphics. So, the file is here: A Good Beginning.zip Thank, Nik xx [ Monday, March 13, 2006 06:16: Message edited by: Kira Maku xx ] -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

Shaper Member # 3442	written Saturday, March 11 2006 09:37 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by St. Ashby the Martyr: The part I enjoyed most was the bit where he [SPOILER] explained how he "killed" his mother. [/SPOILER] Other than that, the book over-exaggerated some bits. I don't recall that bit... Was it right near the end... after he describes them playing a board game? And Brave New World is good, but not great, IMO. It's nowhere near as effective at portraying Dystopia as 1984 And SoT: I prefer Marlowe's version of the Faustus story. Sure, it's a play, but it kicks arse. [ Saturday, March 11, 2006 09:38: Message edited by: Nikki xx ] -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

Best of the Avernum series? in General
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Saturday, March 11 2006 07:45 Profile Homepage #19 Well, I'd recommend the Trilogy CD now that's out, if you are actually going to be purchasing a game. If it's just a question of which one os my favourite, it's more complicated. A4 has the combat, but A1 has atmosphere. A2 has plot in spades, but A3 let you go onto the surface and is bigger... Ohh, I'm gonna say A3. For a first time play, it IS pretty good. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?
