Except not so blatant and contrived. And I'm inclined to think that humans and nephils, at least, may be able to cross-breed. They're both mammals, clearly, and nephils surely are closer to humans than normal cats are. I mean, all of this raises the question as to exactly how the humanoid races came into being. (Or humans, for that matter — are there apes on one of the surface continents?) Although Vahnatai Creationism seems silly to me, it does not seem out of the question at all that the other races were somehow shaped (in the GF sense of the term). In that case, I'd expect humans to have been the base evolved model and nephils to have been shaped from them. Cross-breeding in such a situation would not be impossible. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Alint gives me a slew of errors. They almost all involve parentheses or typos within functions (forgetting to put the right things at the end of an add_dialog_str, etc.). EDIT: The point has been made. As per Ephesos's request... There are many, many more. Use Alint.

I think everyone knows that .sit files are not good for cross-platform things, but if you're sharing between Mac users, they're fine. StuffIt comes default on Macs, I believe. Of course, it's easier now just to control-click (or right-click) on a folder and choose, "Create Archive," but there was a time when it wasn't. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

quote:Speaking of which, Jeff, once you're done (for the time being) patching up A4, would you mind doing a little support for BoA? We have some bugs we've found, some of which (the errors in corescendata, the problems in the documentation) would probably be easy to fix, and some of which just ought to be documented on your bugs page, because they might be hard to fix. It'd be nice if you'd at least fix a few of the simpler bugs on your page and the problems in the docs and corescendata. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Changes for Better or Worse? in Avernum 4 | |

Now, with some distance, here's my general feeling on these. - The plot. No, I wasn't hoping for some stunningly surprising turn of events, but I was hoping for something like the jump from A1 to A2. The Empire War was relatively predictable but reshaped the land of Avernum in unpredictable ways. The vahnatai were almost completely unexpected. From A3 to A4, though, there are no surprises. + The combat system. It loses some for realism (unlimited arrows, impossible to die), but it gains more back for gameplay convenience (none of the skills are useless, nothing is particularly annoying). Good hacking here. - Lack of puzzles or anything other than hacking. The AT had at least a few puzzles here and there. A4 has nothing. - The shift from outdoors to a portal (GF-like) system. I'd much rather tromp through vast outdoors and have a good sense of what the larger world looks like than have a game that is made up of a series of locations. If I'm deep in enemy territory, it's kind of lame that I can take two steps and be home again. Less adventure. - The graphics and GF-style interface. I liked the AT's graphics. + As usual, the individual characters. There were a few that were kind of cool. Fewer than normal, I think, but still. - The repeated characters from the AT that didn't entirely make sense. Some of the mages were too old, and having them be there but just be really old was lame. + The shades. Very nice. - Lack of height variation. One of the secrets to making a pretty town in BoA is height. GF and A4 are much poorer without it. - Lack of secret passages. Too many and too necessary are bad. But none at all is also bad. (Being told about their location just is not the same.) - Lack of artifact quests. That was part of what made A3 fun. A1 and A2, to some extent, too. ~ The fact that characters make customized artifacts for you. It seemed fairly lame, but it didn't actively bother me. ~ The movement system. I preferred using the keyboard, but it seemed horribly awkward (at least in the betas). The new way is okay, I guess. But that leads to... - Lack of interesting floors. No longer can floors do damage with a GF-style movement system. And finally: - Overall. This is the worst of the four Avernums, I feel. Still fun, but not great.

Well, current_personality involves the personality, obviously. But if that's not the one you mean, then perhaps you are thinking of the character ID, not the personality.
