 In other news, I had a thought: we might package some/all BoE scenarios in a download near the BoE download. In fact, I think I'm going to compress my archive and see how big it is. EDIT: Ach, 53 megs. Well, we might package the greatest hits of BoE, anyway.

I had the same reaction as Aran (hence the deleted post above), but I think I figured it out. I think that Jeff doesn't mean a literal change in the format of the exs file, but rather what he defined: a change that would make new scenarios incompatible with older copies of Blades. A new scenario made without the node limit would break an older copy of Blades that still has the node limit when you get to the 50+ node part of the scenario. Now, it'd be easy enough to put a warning in the readme or in the intro messages that one should use only the most recent version of BoE (or only some particular version of BoE), so I don't think that this is much of a problem. Nevertheless, it is worth documenting.

Oh, right. My choice would be this: remove the limit entirely, but add a "Pause" feature that allows the game to come to a halt in the middle of whatever it's doing (running nodes, combat, etc.) in order to access menus or other applications. Attempting to quit while paused would have the same effect as quitting during combat (no opportunity for saving). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I like that idea, or Stareye's. I don't like getting rid of it entirely, because I've caused infinite loops in BoA on occasion, and the game has successfully caught me on it. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I don't think any of us have any more contact information for Silver than you do, though. If you posted what you wanted to talk to him about, one of us here might be able to help.

Talking to Judith doesn't help if you need to talk to the Sick Boy before talking to Judith in order to set a flag so that a dialogue option will be available. Nioca's right that it doesn't hurt anything in the game, but it's a waste of time. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

quote:I suggest that you do the same. EDIT: For crying out loud, apparently everything in this thread that I've said has been open to misinterpretation. It would have been better if I had said nothing at all. A5 sounds like it's going to be great, and it sounds like exactly the kind of game that I'd want to play. Reviving Erika by proxy through her relatives sounds a little weird, but I suppose it could be done well. I just have anxiety about it because I thought that Garzahd in A4 was not effective, and reviving people in general doesn't seem like a great idea in this series. But, as I tend to end all of my posts on this subject lately, I guess that Jeff knows what he's doing, so I'll wait and see.

Neat! It seems to work fine with everything I've tried, with one exception: I don't think it reads old save files from the Classic app. Is it possible to make it do this? I know Jeff's games generally don't, when they get Carbonized, but I don't have any idea what the technical reasons are for that (i.e. whether it's just hard or actually impossible). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Well, Stillness has acknowledged that there is a problem with his argument. He's just decided not to address it until we've met some arbitrary condition of his devising, which, I'm starting to realize, he has done several times in this discussion. That's why this discussion has been so fruitless. If he had figured out something that the rest of us don't know, if he'd really stumbled on scientific truth that was well-grounded in facts and evidence, he'd be eager to answer all our questions about it to show how neat and interesting and true it is. (That's what scientists are like when they discover something. They tell everyone and his dog.) His deliberate evasiveness ("I'm not going to answer that question until you answer mine! Neener neener!") is very strong evidence that he hasn't figured out anything at all.

Jeez, Exodus really is not on Spidweb's site. I didn't even notice that until Jeff brought it up. I submitted it at one point. (And since no one seems to understand what I was trying to say on this topic, Jeff included, I'll let it go. I didn't think it was terribly hard to understand, nor that I said it poorly, but apparently it was or I did. It had nothing to do with plagiarism.) Relatives of Erika? This sounds weird. I guess I'll have to see how this plays out, but my first reaction is anxiety that it won't be good.

Stillness, it took us at least ten or so pages to realize that you believed that evolution occurs and were arguing for some variety of special creation. Your posts on this thread have not been marked by the greatest clarity, and when I try to string them together to make them stick together logically, you tell me that I'm wrong. That's why people have been trying for a while now to get you to articulate, from start to finish, whatever the hell you're trying to say. The only answer you've really given to claims that your argument uses poor logic is to assert that science typically uses worse logic than you're using. That's not a very good defense, because if you're wrong, you're wrong, and if you're right, your model is a scientific model, but all of science is unsound. Either way, you're on shaky ground. Real scientific models don't require being laid side-by-side with something else in order to be verified. One doesn't have to know about Ptolemy's model of the universe in order to know that Kepler's works, and one doesn't have to know about Kepler's to know that Ptolemy's doesn't (at least with modern experimental accuracy). Creationism always tries to defend itself on the basis of perceived problems with evolution, which makes sense but is not strictly necessary. Therefore, for the purposes of making this discussion work, I'll grant — and presume that we'll revisit this later, because this isn't really true — that I don't actually have any argument for evolution and common descent. Let's say that your creationism is the only idea in existence. You still have to articulate it clearly, from start to finish, and make sense. You've articulated most of it, and I've conceded just about every point imagineable in order to focus, for the moment, on this one. You just have to answer the question that SoT and I have been posing for a while. I'll repeat it. Why does the statement, "Irreducibly complex systems that have been created within the past few decades under our verified observation have all been the result of purposeful agency," imply the truth of the statement, "All irreducibly complex systems are a result of purposeful agency"? -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
