What do you think of A4 in Avernum 4

Personally, I was far more engaged by the plots of A1-3 than those of GF1-3. My feelings about A4 are entirely because I'm comparing it with A1-3, not with GF1-3.

Mostly for my reference, these are the people I'm holding in reserve for the second round:

TM
Thralni
Raiden
Archmagus Micael
rantalot
Lazarus
One other

Thanks for your patience. I'm doing it this way for a reason, and your help (and that of all the testers) is much appreciated.

This must mean that I'm not just crazy, and Exodus is finishable! That makes me excited.

I have no idea when I'll be able to get to the bugs in the e-mails that are coming in now, but it's likely that I'll wait for a few more people to finish, resolve all the easy bugs at once, and then gradually start working on the harder issues. (After I get through that, I'll take a handful of additional testers and start the second round.)

So keep the reports coming, even if I don't respond to your e-mails for a little while.

And on a somewhat related note, how long does Jeff leave a scenario in the "Untried" section? MoC seems to have been there forever, and Nephilim Mystery was there for a while as well.
It's supposed to be, "until the scenario gets enough reviews to move it elsewhere." It has ended up being, "until Spidweb gets around to updating the tables, which is rare."

As far as I can tell, the way to get Spidweb to do things that Blades designers need them to do is to prod, calmly and persistently.

Jeff has a tendency to ignore individual e-mails. If you don't get any sort of response after a week, e-mail him again.

This reminds me that it's about time to update my links and Player FAQ.

Well, yeah. I just expected more. But I think you're right about A5: I'm looking forward to what Jeff makes and hoping that he'll do a little more with the finer points (plot, characters, etc.) this time.

The longest thread that I've seen (going back to May 2003) was the one that Ephesos mentioned, "What music (if any) are you listening to...." With 1001 posts, it reached the 41st page. TM's names topic is very nearly there.

There have been rumors of longer threads, but I think that none have been verified. However, the longest-surviving thread is this one, and I'm pretty sure it is the longest-surviving thread ever.

I just recently started to like this band. Their lyrics are sort of stupid and the singer's accent is sometimes a bit much, but I like the general sound of their songs.

And yeah, that's pretty strange that they had to change their name.

It's possible that she changed it since I downloaded it. I'll re-do it at some point and see what happens. There wasn't any "converting" to speak of.

EDIT: New version. Again. Probably the last update for a little while.

This one I don't mind talking about publicly: it's Luz's Exile cave floor. It is rather intense when used as the main floor in the outdoors, so I'm giving serious consideration to changing it.

Giving away the plot! Curses.

That's an original invocation of the Muse, with heavy inspiration from all three major classical epics and my favorite modern one, Paradise Lost.

Something that's bugging me that I don't know how to fix (or if it's even possible) — posted here because anyone with BoA scripting skills can comment:

BoA's handling of AP usage with scripted items (with special ability 207 or 219) seems incredibly random. I have a mess of dialogue boxes called from a couple of items, and anywhere in the process, it's possible to cancel these things, but sometimes canceling costs 3 AP and sometimes it doesn't.

I can't figure out why. I will do exactly the same thing (for testers, I type "cancel" in the text entry box) and get different results — 50% of the time I lose 3 AP, and 50% of the time I don't. Even if I actually go through the whole process and successfully complete the whole script (for testers: actually cast a spell), I have a built in deduct_ap that's supposed to do this work for me, and sometimes I lose 5 AP (as I'm supposed to), and sometimes I lose 8.

Also, when I try to use a 219 item (calls a scenario script and takes a targeted enemy) and there isn't a foe in sight, I automatically lose 3 AP, even though nothing happens — this behavior is unlike spells, since one can select Bolt of Fire and, if no one is in sight, the game just tells you and cancels everything without taking AP.

Is there any way around any of this?

EDIT: New version sent. Check your e-mails, testers.

The darn thing is called Exodus. If you're not expecting Biblical references, you're not paying attention. :P

By the way, directed at no one in particular, we've been pretty good about keeping spoilers out of this thread. Let's maintain that.

EDIT: Expect a new (slightly longer) version tomorr... er... later today.

I'm starting to appreciate the sense of humor that my beta testers always bring to my scenarios. I believe that it was Thuryl who titled his report for LP (then titled "The Darkness") as "Putidus Believes In A Thing Called Forcible Rape," and now I have testers making comments such as, "So, yeah... DEMON SEX. BABY MUTILATION."

:D
