It probably would not be hard to dig up with examples of every call. Ideally, I'd cite where the examples are found (t7Tiger.txt in Canopy, for instance), so that they can be seen in context.

In what way are print_big_str and print_big_str_num different from void calls?

I believe that this contains a custom graphic that I don't recognize. Is it of your own creation, and if so, is it hosted somewhere?

I like all of them, by the way.

As far as I'm concerned, the more information, the better. I have to do far too many experiments just to figure out how calls work before I can use them.

You don't happen to get a big, red error message at any point when walking around in this town, do you?

I notice that your message_dialog calls only have one string each. They need two.

(I'm answering mostly from my experience with BoA, but I suppose it's not all that different.)

I find that the hardest part of working on a scenario is whatever part I happen to be working on at the moment.

That said, I find the third quarter of creating the first version to be the hardest. After 50% of the first version has been made, I've already put in a lot of work, but there's so much work left to do that I feel daunted. After I get more than 75% or so of a first version done, I feel fairly confident that I can finish, so it gets easier.

"Avernum canon" derives from A1-4 and the four Jeff-made BoA scenarios. Then there are certain "continuities": the Echoes continuity is one, which includes most of TM's scenarios. The Bahs (eventually the Bahs/Exodus) continuity is another, stemming from Bahssikava.

It's possible to make a scenario that does not contradict canon or any of the BoA continuities, but that may not always be completely necessary.

I've always thought that the coding here is a little weird. Apparently the odds of you losing control are determined by a get_ran call, which rolls one die from 1 to the total Willpower in your group, and if the die is higher than the highest individual amount of Willpower in your group, then you lose control.

That is, the most advantageous situation for this die roll is to concentrate all of your party's Willpower in one individual. You could use the character editor to do this and then change it right back, or you could just do it over and over against until the random number comes up in your favor.

Reloading and trying again seems to help you get more favorable dialogue options. I ended up just reloading about five times to get through the encounter.

People have expressed this sentiment in seriousness before, and it strikes me as unbelievably clueless. You don't have free speech on these boards. You're not supposed to have free speech on these boards. You clicked "okay" to an agreement that said so when you registered.
