Avernum V ideas in Avernum 4
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, June 28 2006 06:50 Profile Homepage #110 This all sounds interesting, but... why would anyone care? I mean, weapons in Avernum at this point are just damage rolls — the kind of weapon only matters for skill purposes. Introducing many more kinds of weapons seems sort of silly unless they introduce new tactical complexity to the game, and I'm not sure how these weapons would do that. Welcome to Spiderweb, by the way! -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Stupid Question in Blades of Avernum Editor
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, June 26 2006 17:13 Profile Homepage #11 The idea is that "choice = run_dialog(1)" sets the variable "choice" to whatever the value of run_dialog is. It's like saying "choice = 1" or "choice = 2" or whatever. (You work right to left, so BoA turns the run_dialog into a number and then sets choice to that number.) So "choice" starts out as 0 in the beginning of the script — this is unnecessary; you could take it out and just say "short choice;" — and then it gets set to whatever the run_dialog returned (either 1 or 2, depending on what the player chose). That way, when you run your "if" business, the "choice" variable is either 1 or 2. And "end" is used when you want everything to stop right away. I have an example of this in an article — "end" is under One-Shot Specials.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, June 26 2006 10:16 Profile Homepage #131 Here's another way of putting what Drew's been saying. You said, if you don't pay attention to your neighbor now, bad things will happen (he'll eat your dog's crap, you'll get accused of bad stuff, etc.). The metaphor was that "paying attention to your neighbor" was "opposing gay marriage" — that was the metaphor that was put forward. So you said, "If you don't oppose gay marriage, bad things will happen." That's why it sounded as though you were opposing gay marriage on questionable grounds. My strong suspicion is that you were attacking the metaphorical side of the argument without any regard to the fact that it was simply a metaphor.

scripting help. in Geneforge Series
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, June 23 2006 13:16 Profile Homepage #2 Hmm, GF. It works the same way as BoA, and you should look up how BoA's flags work. I feel as though the BoA docs have a good description of them in the abstract. If you want to see how they're used (with an explanation), I wrote an article about it. Basically, you use flags to keep track of whether stuff has happened or not. When the party steps on a space, you can set flag (0,4) to 1, and then if you want to know if the party has stepped on that space, you can check the value of flag (0,4). If it's 0, then the party hasn't, and if it's 1, then it has. Flags range in value from 0 to 255. If you want to track the party's progress in a dungeon, you can set flag (0,5) to 1 when they get past the first part, 2 when the get past the second, and 3 when they get past the third.

BoA BUGS v6.0 in Blades of Avernum Editor
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, June 23 2006 12:28 Profile Homepage #1 New bug, causing the need to revive the topic: as far as I can tell, the attitude of the party is 0. One might expect it to be 3 (party-friendly), but I don't think that it is. I don't think that the docs mention this (although I may have missed it), and they should. Also, I've pared down the list very slightly, getting rid of the more ridiculous bugs ("sometimes I see crashes"). EDIT: When a statistic gets very large (typically over 100 for normal stats, 200 for Useful Skills, although I can't say for sure that it's consistent), the game will eventually (when the stat gets checked, perhaps?) give a message saying, "Error: File corruption caused too-high skill. Skill being reset to 0. Can correct it manually with editor." This is a problem for very high-level parties (say, 50 or above), which should naturally have Health above 500. This doesn't seem to have any in-game effect (except a weird 0 on the stat sheet), but it's annoying to get these error messages.
