Questions about BoA engine. in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, October 9 2005 09:06 Profile Homepage #3 I could've sworn the START_STATE runs before the party moves. I swear Khassper in Ancient Bahssikava starts his cut scene before you take a step. This is one you should check yourself — it's not too hard to do an experiment to be sure. Also, there's no way that I can find to get (x,y) coordinates in the outdoors. You can change the party's location, and you can get their section number with current_out_section (which, by the way, I've been meaning to test out, since outdoor sections have (x,y) coordinates too, so I have no idea how Jeff reduces that to one number), but I can't see any way to get something more specific. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I don't think we actually learn much about their culture or origins, though. TM has done a bit of creating background for them, from what I understand, in BoE.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, October 7 2005 20:46 Profile Homepage #40 I agree with Alorael's statement about gay marriage, but I think that "domestic partnership" makes a heck of a lot more sense than "civil union." As long as we're working over semantics — because the difference between the government granting marriage licenses for a civil marriage and the government granting marriage licenses for a civil union is pretty miniscule on anything except a semantic level — we may as well go for the proper term. :P Ash: It's pretty hard to come up with a test that differentiates between a ditch that someone dug and a physically identical ravine dug out by a river. :P As you've observed, certain intelligent design theories are scientific and have been discredited — these are old creationist theories from the times before a lot of evidence was known. Others are not scientific in nature at all, but religious or philosophical — these are the new theories, the ones that people are trying to get put in curriculum today. None of these are of interest in a high school science course. Maybe a "History of Science" or "Philosophy of Science" or a unit on scientific literacy, but not a normal bio course. That's not to say that the new ideas are factually wrong — an intelligence may have created life. It's just not useful (or scientific) to assume so in the context of a scientific theory. Muji: I was trying to say that I don't care if the tax cuts for the lower-income earners stay. You're probably right; it's just not what I was talking about.

Again, forgive me if I'm just displaying my ignorance about science, but... Surely there are plenty of tests that could be done? Such as finding some sort of criteria that allows you to objectively determine between a painting and a random mash of colours, and then checking that against a whole lotta paintings and random mashes (forgive my tech-speak :P ). That's not exactly the problem. Evolution creates order, too — evolution doesn't just say that we will find random mashes of genetics all over the place. Intelligent design is conveniently set up to create exactly the same order that evolution does, simply explaining the mechanism differently. Evolution can predict certain things about what we will find in the fossil record. All intelligent design can predict is what we will not be able to find. That's why it's not a scientific theory. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

No, I would oppose it. But the national government has never been in the business of regulating marriage; that's always been a state and local government thing. Read the legislature's powers enumerated in the Constitution — we'd need a constitutional amendment just to make it legal to pass a national law concerning gay marriage. quote: Originally written by Muji: How would you help deal with poverty, though? Various subsidies? Wouldn't a tax cut for the poorest help out a lot? And poor as they are, it's not like they'd make a big dent in the deficit anyways, would they? Bush's tax cuts didn't much affect the poor anyway. They were mostly for the richest of the rich. I just want to roll back the tax cuts benefiting the people who have plenty of money already, because right now the government can't pay for all of its commitments (like, you know, roads and schools and stuff). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, October 7 2005 14:59 Profile Homepage #4 These answers obviously may vary depending on the home country of the person answering. Believing in the need for more environmental regulation in the E.U. is somewhat different than believing in that need in the U.S. Same for tax cuts, same for other things. Minimum wage nationally in the U.S. is already $5.15, isn't it? Around here it's $6.75. (EDIT: Yes.) Also, I would've liked to be able to choose that I think that gay marriage should be legal but it should be up to the states. That is, I think that all the states need to pass gay marriage laws, as happened with women's suffrage a century ago shortly before the constitutional amendment came through. Similarly, I chose "I disagree, but we should stick it out" for the war in Iraq question as the one which most nearly matches my actual opinion: we seriously need to change our approach, but we can't just walk out now. I also would've liked a "No more tax cuts, dammit" option. I would start my economic policy by repealing Bush's tax cuts in order to bring the deficit back in line.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, October 4 2005 06:49 Profile Homepage #301 What you're looking for are the calls that deal with "objects." The two main ones are is_object_on_space and put_object_on_space. These will allow you to place moving mirrors. However, sadly, the object you mentioned from A2 is no longer an object in BoA; you could script something complicated with it, but that might be more effort than it's worth. You could just as easily use a crate or a barrel. Also, be aware if you're using lasers with your mirrors that the beam code is buggy and you should immediately test everything you make, or you may find some nasty surprises as your scenario suddenly fails to work in alpha testing. This happened in one part of Bahs.
