Some Musings on Tactics in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, August 30 2004 13:08 Profile Homepage #13 Another thought: I think that Simulacrum-duplicated monsters use their default scripts, so if you really wanted to have an undead boss who was vulnerable to Repel Spirit but not terribly vulnerable to Simulacrum, you could give it wimpy base stats and a really powerful script. That way, if the player Simul-ed the boss, the duplicate would be a weakling. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Should I bother to get this game? in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, August 29 2004 17:26 Profile Homepage #1 It is not, at this point, easy to build scenarios. If you have a Mac and can use the 3D Editor, it is far easier, and Alint is a pretty good debugging program (cross-platform!), so it's getting easier, but it's still pretty hard. However, playing scenarios is very intuitive, and we're starting to see a decent number come out. Eh, I won't bother repeating everything that's already been said in this topic. Suffice it to say that it's a pretty decent buy and it will only get better with time. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Bug list and suggestions in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, August 29 2004 16:12 Profile Homepage #17 Eh, the description of my beam bug is a little off. Basically, what I was saying is that the beam will crumble a terrain that's adjacent to it even if a wall is in the way. I'm not sure how generally this applies, but it definitely occurs when a placed object mirror (placed in the INIT_STATE, say) is in the same terrain as a wall and the beam redirects in the direction of a crumble-able terrain on the other side of the wall. So, like, I have this in the INIT_STATE: put_object_on_space(11,17,5); Now there's a ne/sw mirror on (11,17). Let's say I have a source at (6,17) and a east-facing projector at (7,17), so it shoots a beam at (11,17) to get directed north. Now I put terrain 54 (a wall) on (11,17), which I can do because the mirror was an object, not a terrain. That wall blocks the beam. It will not continue northward to, say, (11,12). However, let's say I have a projector sitting on (11,16). It will crumble. There's a wall in the way, but the beam still kinda passes through. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Requests for BoA Scenario Format 3 in Blades of Avernum Editor
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, August 29 2004 15:55 Profile Homepage #59 It occurs to me that we might want a third, independent thread for that sort of thing and for the add_item_to_shop request. We have one thread for new calls and one thread for bugs; maybe a third thread for additional functionality for the old calls? If I understood him correctly, Jeff said that he would do bug fixes, might add functionality to old calls, and would think about adding new calls. It seems that we're a lot more likely to get the first than the second and still less likely to get the third, so we might want to separate them. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Poll: Password protected scenarios: what do you think? in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, August 29 2004 12:03 Profile Homepage #17 Two things: first, Jeff has said that approximately 60% of his sales for his games in general are to Windows and 40% to Mac. Whatever the BoAC visitor numbers are is not nearly as significant as what the BoA sales numbers are. Second, Jeff has said outright that he will not make a password system for BoA. It's not going to happen. This topic serves no purpose.

The next RP and the future of Spidweb RPs in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, August 28 2004 12:22 Profile Homepage #2 As I recall from PPP1, most RPs end up locked or die out anyway. This is not a new trend in SW; it was true well over a year ago, too. Look at the New Silvar Inn RP, or any of the many others that existed at the time. An RP is pretty good if it can get to ten pages, and if it can break twenty, it's very successful. At least, that's the way it is here. Maybe at other boards it's different. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Poll: Password protected scenarios: what do you think? in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, August 28 2004 04:54 Profile Homepage #9 quote: Originally written by Overwhelming: With a good scenario design, players shouldn't get stuck. Um, yeah, like, NO. In virtually every BoE scenario I've ever played I have gotten stuck at one point or another, even in 9+'s. Anyway, hints can be included, asked in the forums etc. True, but I'd rather just rip open the scenario so I can do it myself instead of than having to wait an hour or two or five for someone to respond on a forum. Besides, three-quarters of the help I give with VoDT to newbies comes from looking at the scripts, not from remembering the scen. I think it's more fun encouraging the player to win the game by himself, and to explore the scenario to find its secrets. You are, of course, assuming that we're talking about a flawless scenario. A 3-7 may be so obscure in some places as to make exploration nigh on useless. More determined people would still be able to cheat: hacking the password, using the character editor, asking for help in the forums, etc... Your definition of "cheating" is rather broad, I think. Asking for help in the forums? Some times people don't know what it's best for them. Good to know that you're here to tell them what's good for them when they don't know. Christ. Some don't hesitate in cheating, and then wonder why they got bored so fast. Yeah, that's why Imban and Thuryl and myriad others have gotten bored with BoE and haven't stuck around very long, because they "cheat" by looking at the BoE scenarios' nodes and figure out what's going on that way. Seriously, could you be more naive if you tried? Everything about BoA is open-source except for the app itself. Having the scripts freely available to all tremendously benefits to the designing community, because we can see how other designers achieved certain effects. Also, if I have an obscure plot coupon buried in my scenario, I'd much rather have the player just open up the scripts and figure out where he or she has to go than search around for hours and get frustrated and quit. Also, Thuryl's right: whether this would be good or not, it's not going to happen. Jeff has said this outright.

You could give them a special ability or an item that would call a script that would run a move_to_new_town that would take them to the parallel town. A similar thing could be done outdoors using, er, out_move_party, which unfortunately appears only to be able to take the party within the same outdoor section, not to a new one.

PC People in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, August 27 2004 09:18 Profile Homepage #2 In A1 and A2, I usually used a fighter and a mage/priest. By the end of the game, the mage/priest was trained in fighting, too (in A2 in the fight against Garzahd, the mage/priest was killing dervishes). In A3, I actually used something pretty close to the default party. In BoA, this all kind of went to heck and I am experimenting with many party orientations. I'd like to go back to the duo paradigm at some point, but I don't have the tactical skills for it yet. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Where should I start designing? in Blades of Exile
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, August 27 2004 08:19 Profile Homepage #102 A puzzle-based scenario (or possibly one with modern technology to substitute for magic) could be entirely without anything potentially offensive like demons or violence or magic but also be fun. The Election is a perfect example. It contains one combat sequence, one in which you are attacked and must run away. Virtually everything else is dialogue, figuring out how to convince people of things. It's a great scenario. It's one of my favorites, actually, not because I find magic or anything else troubling to my conscience, but just because it's a very different approach to design. It would be very interesting to see more scenarios like this. I'm curious about AC2, because apparently it is a series of puzzles with very little combat, and the format intrigues me. I'll probably play it soon. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!
