Lets hear about your editor mistakes in Blades of Avernum Editor
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, January 9 2006 16:30 Profile Homepage #1 I can't recall mistakes I've made that have cost me hours of work, but I can remember having to do things manually that now can be done almost instantly via utility. When BoA first came out and I wanted to make a scenario about sliths, I decided to use icon adjustment to make different-looking sliths. I had to place them in the 2D Editor, muck with their cr_icon_adjust values in the custom objects script, load up BoA, enter a scenario and look at them, change their cr_icon_adjust values, reload a saved game and re-enter the scenario, change their values again, reload again, etc. Now with Graphic Adjuster and the 3D Editor, it takes me about fifteen seconds to do what it took me half an hour to do before, and I can do it better. EDIT: Oh god, and debugging pre-Alint was terrible! I had to reload saves about twenty times just to get it to tell me all the times I'd forgotten a semi-colon.

I Want to Crush Your Dreams. in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, January 8 2006 21:28 Profile Homepage #57 I was referring to PoD Person, but I guess I can address your idea, too. I don't see a heck of a lot wrong with your very first idea, except that the evil mage needs some justification. It would be fine just that he's sick and needs alicorns to survive. He could be written as a very believably desperate but selfish and cruel person. You have to kill him to save the unicorns, but you feel a little bit sorry for a moment when you realize that you can sort of identify with him. Or if you want an even more cut-and-dry happy ending, maybe he makes money selling them in some sort of black market, like ivory; greed is also a very understandable motivation, but it's less sympathetic. A motivation needs to exist, and it needs to be realistic, but not all people are self-sacrificing and noble. You can create a bad guy who is motivated by greed or revenge or hatred as long as there's some reason for it, and greed is pretty easy to justify (he lives in a nice house and wants to keep it). Honestly, after a certain point, it's better if you just choose an idea and get to work making it. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
