Something is wrong with this statement. If it means that E1, E2, and E3 are free, it's false. If it means that 3rd-party BoE scenarios are free after registering BoE, it's pretty misleading. If it means that the BoA editor is free, then it's pretty seriously off. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

A Question about the Slith and Nephilim in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, August 7 2005 09:14 Profile Homepage #60 Computer chips can think, too. There were some consequences of special relativity that were possible to test. In fact, Einstein was mostly explaining really anomalous results of previous experiments that ended up providing much of the critical evidence for special relativity. I'm not even sure what this conversation is about anymore. Again, we'd need to revise our concept of civilization to talk about a species that has a civilization yet somehow does not have tool use. I think the issue is differentiating civilization from "living in the wild," and the only possible way to do that is demonstrating that the species has technology, but how can one have technology without tool use? Perhaps revising one's own structure and genetic code — if a species could modify that directly, then that wouldn't really be "tool use" per se, but it would definitely indicate technological progress. Eh, I still don't know if we'd call that "civilization," though. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Orb of thralni in Blades of Avernum Editor
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, August 7 2005 09:01 Profile Homepage #165 Sometimes, you just need to read the docs. For town entrance stuff, open the docs, find section 1.7, and read the stuff under the heading "Enter Town Starting Position." The gist of it is that the direction you enter the town from can be counterintuitive. As far as the text bubble stuff, you should look up the get_flag and get_ran calls in the Appendices. After you read that, what's going on in the START_STATE should be fairly obvious. If you want to know what it looks like in the game, enter VoDT with a party and walk around in the first town for a little bit. You should see text bubbles. If any of this still doesn't make sense, I can explain it. -------------------- 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 Saturday, August 6 2005 23:40 Profile Homepage #159 Jeff was making some bubbles appear randomly above people's heads when you walk around. I guess I missed that you were trying to do that also. Since the bubbles get cleared every turn, you don't have to insert the extra line to clear them, and since stepping updates the screen, you don't need the force_instant_terrain_redraw, and since they already stay on the screen for a reasonable amount of time, you don't need the pause. Do you understand the get_ran and get_flag calls? You don't want a get_flag call in your own town's START_STATE, probably, but you do want a get_ran unless you want the bubbles to appear every turn.

I've got experience with scenario building, I've just never finished anything. So while technically this is my "first scenario", it really isn't. No, it really is. There's a big difference between having worked with the editor a lot and having produced a finished product. But eh. I went pretty big-scale with my first effort, and it seems to have done all right, so it can be done. I missed this on the first read-through: you're requesting graphic artists and scripters? This will never happen. Do a search in the BoA forum on "collaboration" or "collaborative," and you'll get the results of previous requests like this. Some graphical artists (Luz, ADoS) have made a few graphics upon request before, if you can specify exactly what you need, and a few scripters (me) have made scripts upon request before, if you can specify exactly what you need. But plan on doing the bulk of the work yourself. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Say your prayers... in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, August 6 2005 06:09 Profile Homepage #45 I'll respond to that post by responding to the first one again. quote: Originally written by stranger: My view was that this wouldn't be marriage though, because it is not a union "under God", it is not "Holy matrimony". It is not a spiritual union of two people, it does not involve "what God has joined together" (Mark 10:9) in the cerimony of marriage. It would be (in my view) a personal commitment between two people: an official recognition of their relationship, with personal benefits (a testimant to the love for the other in the couple), social benifits ("meet my wife, we love each other and got married") and economical benifits (reduced overall tax for married couples). My view was that the equivalent of marriage would still exist, but it would be different. It would not be a spiritual union anymore, but people would still want to do it because of all the other benefits. You make it sound as though this would not be marriage, but modern-day atheists have these kind of marriages all the time. Some people get married at city hall by a justice of the peace or some other civil official. Some ceremonies don't mention "God" or have anything to do with religious ceremonies; they're just commitment ceremonies. They're exactly what you're describing as "not marriage," except they clearly are marriages. EDIT: In other words: quote: Originally written by stranger: When modern day athiests get married, do they get married in a church, by a priest, using terminology and cerimonies in any way referring to God, and are these cerimonies in any way descended from religious marriage cerimonies? No. Some do not.

Bridging between scripts? in Blades of Avernum Editor

Salmon suggested using teleport_party to move the party to a part of town where a special rectangle is, so that the party would then be forced to step on that special rectangle and then move to the new town. I said, "Yes, but you'd need a special rectangle in every town." You'd have to designate a corner of each town to have this special rectangle and to have enough space to move the party there. You'd further have to make this not look weird somehow. In theory, it could work, but it would be annoying to make. And I've already told Jeff that I think move_to_new_town should work everywhere.
