Stuck in Exodus in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, December 23 2006 10:30 Profile Homepage #43 quote: Originally written by Jewels: I wanted to ask, too, since it's not explained anywhere else that I could find, how do you calculate the chances of whether or not a monster summoned by your special spells will be friendly or hostile? The description of the spell didn't say anything about a failure rate so I don't know if it's a bug or not. It is a bug, but one that I've never been able to isolate. I've only reproduced it by accident once or twice. Eh, this is one other thing that I will take a look at while I'm fixing things up for v.1.0.1 (which will happen whenever my computer gets fixed). -------------------- 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 Wednesday, December 20 2006 17:19 Profile Homepage #31 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: Isn't 'itur' just the third person singular present passive of eo? One of the few remaining fragments of my own classical education is this very quotation, which my high school Latin text had at the head of its chapter on the impersonal passive construction. So 'sic itur ad astra', literally 'thus it is gone to the stars', is the Latin way of saying 'thus does one go to the stars'. So normally there is not much call to use the passive voice of 'go', but for an impersonal passive like this evidently Vergil at least could get away with it. This was my first thought, but it is extremely weird to use the passive of an intransitive verb. "It is gone" is something else ("It has gone" = "ivit" or "iit", as I recall), unless you're trying to say "It is gone by someone," in which case you'd be saying "Someone goes it," which doesn't really make any sense. My grammars note that transitive compounds of eo, such as adeo ("approach"), can have passive forms, and the passive would be identical to the form found here, but this is unconvincing. I'd like something actually to comment on this, and nothing that I can find does. The Lewis and Short lists "itur" as apparently a form under "eo" as if it were just the most natural thing in the world, and the example that it cites seems to indicate a normal impersonal verb. It is really odd that no one comments on this anywhere. EDIT: If anyone is re-reading this, it may be of some interest to note that I finally found it. The term is, as SoT said, the impersonal passive, which is regular for verbs that take the dative — put the subject in the dative and the verb in the passive, "ei credetur" = "he will not be trusted" — and in verbs of coming and going where the subject is unimportant and to be neglected ("itur" = "people go"). If my Latin didn't suck so much, I would've known this already.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, December 20 2006 16:52 Profile Homepage #40 Did you actually find the Peninsula? It's a town that you have to enter. Note that the message you received when you saw the Peninsula said, "At least, it looks perfect from a distance: a peninsula just to the southwest. You have to inspect it up close before you can be sure, though," and the walkthrough says "Proceed south down the waterfalls until you hit the peninsula. Enter the peninsula town, and then head northwest." Fortunately, you can just go back through Alora if you have to. The gates should stay open.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, December 20 2006 08:11 Profile Homepage #15 quote: Originally written by Niemand: To the best of my knowledge there re no fl_ed_icon_adjust and te_ed_icon_adjust attributes. I am however, trying to figure out how to make the editor correctly display icon adjusts in 2D mode. There are, although — odd — it appears that they're not documented. I swear that they were at one point. Amazingly enough, they display properly on the automap in the game, as you can see in Exodus anywhere there's vahnatai floor. They just don't display in the editor. quote: The editor just doesn't bother to check and display which script this is. Come to think of it, it would be nice if the editor did bother to display this, although it's not critical. One other thing: on pretty much all the dialog boxes that pop up in the editor, the text cursor starts at the beginning of the line, and it would be more convenient if it started at the end (to ease deleting whatever the default thing is). It would be even more convenient if the text started highlighted, like a normal box, but eh. Lazarus reminded me: as a possible alternative, simply being able to cut and paste creature scripts would be nice.
