Delving Deep Into Bahssikava in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, September 18 2005 19:58 Profile Homepage #19 quote: Originally written by Drakefyre: But we bypass the bridges and drakes when we follow Kass. No, you don't. The two bridges right next to to the steel gates are new — Talas and co. have just built them, as a message indicates. And the mind-bending drake lord could've sensed you across the water just as easily as on the other side of the dungeon, and had you not killed the drakes along the chasm in the first level, those drakes would've been just above your head in the Tunnels. quote: Originally written by synergy67: 1) In the control room that holds the slith crystal souls, when a switch is in center position, the dialog box when looking the switch control says the switch is in the right position. The choices for movement are correct: left or right. Odd. I never noticed this before. A (hopefully) fixed version is on my website now, though. As far as the flying demon, I know that the script has some sort of problem, but I've never been able to replicate it. I think I'll give it another try soon to see if I can track this down once and for all. For NPC behavior and ending-combat locations: I have essentially no control over that. It's the BoA engine itself.

No, neither of you could. That's the point. And Legare actually stands the best chance of fighting them off if that were his goal, but it's not.

Delving Deep Into Bahssikava in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, September 17 2005 16:13 Profile Homepage #5 quote: Originally written by Arancaytar: The Vahnatai culture merging with the Slithzerikai is something that I didn't really (and still don't) believe. If that really is what Kel was hinting at in those architectural descriptions, I must say it's quite far-fetched. I'm trying to remember now what in the Avernum series made me think of this, because I didn't just make that up. I think it had to do with the description of the architecture in the Deeps — it sounds like vahnatai architecture, but I thought it would be much more interesting if sliths built it than if vahnatai did. The sliths in Avernum who can build buildings learned their skills from humans, so it seemed to me that the sliths who built those buildings had to have learned from vahnatai. Oh yeah, and also since both sliths and vahnatai come from deeper in Avernum, I thought it would make sense that they had contact at one point. Anyway, I was just suggesting that the vahnatai had once known sliths — which A2 inadvertently suggests when a vahnatai in Olgai says that the vahnatai had read about sliths in books — and that they had taught them civilization. EDIT: Oh yeah, and I'm glad you're enjoying Bahs so far, Synergy. I added some arrows somewhere, but I forget where. You should be able to reload your stock soon, though.

Drakey, we've had this conversation at least twice before. Among the things we came up with: the dates given for the order closing the school in VoDT are different in BoE and in BoA. In Avernum, the war with Grah-Hoth was forty years before A1, while in Exile, the same war was apparently longer prior to E1.

Blowing the lid off the Canopy in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, September 16 2005 16:45 Profile Homepage #3 Moves to the BoA forum You know, I didn't like Canopy's special spells either, but for a different reason. Unlike those in TM's BoE scenario NTH, Canopy's spells supplemented the default spells (whereas NTH's replaced them entirely). That created a full spellset that didn't cohere, at least for me: Canopy's special spells don't match the default ones in terms of style. What default spell seems even remotely like Rasereiangriff, Flammenentwurf, or Summon Baldev? Canopy's spells might have seemed more legitimate to me had they wholly replaced the defaults (like in NTH) or were in the same style as the defaults. However, there's another side to that. Canopy's spells were almost exclusively direct-damage spells. BoA already has a surplus of useless direct-damage spells doing fire, magic, and cold damage. Other than adding a whole heck of a lot more base damage, those spells didn't create any new effects — you were still doing fire damage or whatever. In other words, Canopy's spells somehow managed to be too different from the defaults in style (damage yourself while doing damage) and not different enough in effect (do lots of fire damage), IMO. A different way to do special spells, one that I would've liked more, involves taking advantage of the currently unused or under-used features of the engine, like fields or statuses. Area of effect spells, perhaps. Or something completely out there, like special spells that set flags that alter AI, or special spells that change a monster type (like in Babysitting). Or replace the original spells entirely — one can take them away as in LP and take it a step farther by replacing them with special ones. I don't think it's that I don't like tactical combat, which I believed for a while. It's that I don't like Canopy's interpretation of tactical combat. But eh — different strokes and such. Some people really like Canopy. Oh yeah, and two more things: you might, having played several scenarios, want to go over to CSR and rate them, since that is probably the most appropriate place for a post like this — unless you're intending to start discussion, in which case here is fine. Also, I have little hope that you'll like Bahs more, but we'll see.

MMMMM in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, September 16 2005 07:03 Profile Homepage #191 To make matters worse, it has momentum. I like to think of it this way: E=mc^2 is just a special case of E^2=m^2 * c^4 + p^2 * c^2, where E is energy, m is mass, c is the speed of light, and p is momentum. This means that energy takes two forms: mass and momentum (where relativistic momentum is conceptually a lot like classical velocity). Light has a speed, so it has a velocity, so it has — don't think too hard about it — a momentum. Light has no rest mass, though. An electron just lying around has energy packed into its structure, into the fact that it is matter, despite not being in motion. Photons don't. EDIT: And light is a wave. And also a particle. It's a particle when you're looking at it and a wave when you're not. If this sounds entirely silly, well, it probably is, but it's true.
