Number for a good shield? in Avernum 4

In the Avernum 4 folder, find the folder called "Avernum 4 Files." In that should be a folder called "Scripts." In that, there's a file called "av4itemschars.txt." That's the one you want to look at.

As it happens, the number is 308.

Yeah, I downloaded the appropriate Java update and still can't open the program. It says to check the Console for error messages, but I don't know where that is.

I'm running OS 10.3.9, if it matters.

Zeviz, quit freaking out. No one is harassing Sarasaphilia. There is no need to imagine harassment when none exists; it'll be plenty obvious when people really are getting abused. Right now we're just having a calm, ordinary conversation.

In the "good old days" of these boards, they were certainly about more watching than one or two people having catfights. They were about watching a dozen people having catfights.

I have always said that the menu interface for the scenario editor sucks badly, and the obvious replacement is a palette system (as we have for floors and terrains, but for creatures and items, too). This is what the BoA Editor Remake was supposed to accomplish, but it never managed to do so.

I have said before that a drag-and-drop interface would be by far the best for a script editor. That said, I'll have to try this out to see how it is.

Um, this is supposed to be cross-platform, right? How do I get it to run on a Mac? I tried to download it and open it, and it just crashed and said it couldn't be opened.

Stillness: I think I know what you're trying to say (the myths in question have some basis in reality), but I don't think you realize that no one here is saying that you're wrong on this particular point.

Nalyd: There are some odd references here and there. Either Seneca or Pliny the Elder (we read them at the same time, and I forget who it was) makes reference to digging up huge bones in one of his scientific treatises, but he claims they were bones of human heroes in the past, who were taller than people are today (much taller — it was something like forty cubits, which is sixty feet). I can find the exact citation if you want.

There almost certainly is some basis in reality for the dragon accounts! We moderns aren't the only people who dig in the ground and find huge bones. We put them together to make dinosaur skeletons, but the ancients certainly wouldn't have done quite as detailed a job as we do. They knew that they were dealing with enormous lizard-like things, but not necessarily their exact structures, so the dragon myths are the logical result.

If there were large dragons early in human history, though, I'd expect to find some bones of them in the right strata in the ground, as we do with mammoths and the like.

Stillness: Well, it's good to see that you agree with Synergy, even if I'm not sure that you're aware that's what you're doing.

One thing that I've never understood about Biblical literalism is why people would want to believe that God is such a terrible writer. Good writers use metaphors all the time. Good writers use parables, allegories, fictional stories that nevertheless teach moral lessons, all the time. For example, Shakespeare's plays are not factual, but they are so realistic and powerful that one can still learn a great deal about people and the way that we work from them. Only a really awful writer would write simply the facts in a straightforward manner without any addition or useful modification at all.

Someone (I think a Catholic bishop or pope or something) once wrote that the Bible is true, but it's not true in the way that the minutes of a PTA meeting are true. The minutes of a PTA meeting tell you exactly what happened and when, but they don't really teach you anything useful about life. The Bible is true in a much deeper and broader way, he wrote, even if we must understand some of the stories as literature and not precise historical narrative. This sense of how the Bible works makes much more sense to me than the way that some wacky evangelicals want to understand it.

I will be able to say that I remember the old RWG forum! In fact, I was the impetus for its creation! (Kind of. Who remembers my involvement?)

I almost feel like making a poll. Who here would've registered Lost Souls if it had a level editor and multiplayer? Who has played Rock Solid?! Post now or forever hold your peace!!

Heh.

In other news, it turns out that Jeff himself has lost track of Richard White in the past couple of years since the last time we asked him. He can't find him anymore, either.

RW may very well have finally gone up to the great Galactic Core in the sky. :tear:

We've tried to track him down a few times. We've been more or less unsuccessful.

How he does it. in General

He pretty much makes them himself from scratch. Apparently his two assistants help with some of the town design in a very basic way, but that's about it.

Ah, here it is:
quote:
The Team
We're a charming little company in a basement in lovely Seattle, Washington. It's me and two employees. I handle the bulk of the design and coding. My employees handle the business and web end, and help me with doing the design.

Generally, how it works is I sketch out a dungeon or town or something on paper, and then hand that design to an assistant. It then gets sketched in the editor in a crude way before being handed back to me, and I do all the fiddly stuff - placing items and creatures, scripting special encounters and dialogue, and so on.

There was also Andrew Hunter, a freelance artist who does almost all of my icon work. He's fast, reliable, and good, and he's been helping me out for years and years. Professional comic and fantasy artist Phil Foglio does a bit of hilarious line art for me. But it's a pretty small project.
From the BoA Wrap Report.
