I believe Randomizer meant that perhaps Jeff will pick better, more contrasting colors for backgrounds when he makes A5.

Stupid Question in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, June 25 2006 20:41 Profile Homepage #9 run_dialog() runs the dialog that has been constructed by using the add_dialog_string(), add_dialog_choice(), and all the preset dialog functions. If you put a 1 in the parentheses, the "record" button will appear when the dialog is displayed, a zero will omit the button. As for what the function returns, if there's only one choice (say, "Okay."), the function will just return a 1, since that's the number of the choice. For more than one choice, it will return different numbers depending on what choice the player picks. Say I've got this set up: "Pointless drivel" will appear with the choices and a Record button. If the player picks "Fish", run_dialog() will return a '1', thus making choice equal to 1. (Note, the function returns a number one higher than the number given in add_dialog_choice().) If the player picks "pi", then the function returns a 2. I hope that cleared things up. Class is dismissed. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Avernum V ideas in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, June 25 2006 08:07 Profile Homepage #96 Aaron, most of your suggestions are really valid (except the sounds and music ones), but most of them are just not going to happen. -Ergonomic design? Jeff has enough to worry about when it comes to making the game playable, so I don't see why he'd worry about lazy people who can't be bothered to use both he keyboard and mouse. -Pack animals? They're called "a character maxed out on strength". And besides, how long would a mule last against a drake? -Stealth has become more of a factor lately, particularly when sneaking through fields of pylons. The rest could probably be addressed with a check for Nimble Fingers. So that could work, if Jeff chooses to put it in A5. -Item crafting... mabe not. People would just cheat to give themselves a large Item Crafting stat, just like they did for Potion Making (honestly, how many people trained it all the way up to 17 w/o the character editor?). -An advancement system that's smarter than the player? No. It takes the fun out of designing a character when the game does it all for you. -Items tailored to advancement paths... no. Way too much work for Jeff, and too mundane for us. The scattering of "useless" items around the game world reminds the party that they're not the only living people/slith/nephils in the world. And besides, some people might really like that stone short sword. -Melee damage changes... perhaps. I get the feeling that Jeff has been working on that, given the general combat-heavy feel of A4. It might happen. -PCs able to learn every ability/spell? Okay, fine... just not all at once. For instance, the demon-summoning spell that Nociduas uses... that shouldn't be accessible for a long, long time. It's a big issue for game balance, though, so this idea could be trouble. -New magic system? Maybe, but not that one. Something more like the excess of spells found in Exile would be better. Your system would be really frustrating to anyone who chose to specialize in one type of magic, as soon as they run into that one monster who can't be hit by it. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

The Mountain of Shadows RP in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, June 23 2006 09:25 Profile Homepage #577 OoC: For the record, let's try to get everyone headed in the same direction again... I've got an intro post for the fight with Orloki that I'm itching to use. But until then, I've got a short IC. IC: Clearing the top of the staircase, Sequoia found himself facing another torch-lit tunnel. It looked just like every other tunnel they'd walked through so far... but he could feel Orloki's presence strengthening. The taint that Sequoia had absorbed when tapping the mountain's power was clamoring to be heard, and Sequoia was having a bit of difficulty holding it back. He kept walking anyway. He could feel his thoughts shifting under the pressure of the taint. But there was something else there... the mountain's energy was clearly affecting the druid's mind, but he couldn't tell how. There was a faint light growing at the edge of his vision, and it wasn't the torches. It was a bright white light, and Sequoia fervently hoped that he wasn't about to black out. Something in the back of his mind began to bend. The tunnel grew lighter, and it had nothing to do with the torches. The druid looked around him, and saw that more pure ice was forming behind him, in unbroken strands that marked his path. The air here felt cleaner, less oppressive. Sequoia wondered how much he had to do with this. Sequoia was beginning to wonder why he'd come. A vague sense of unease was all that had kept him on this path, a sense that something needed to be done. Once he'd been attacked, there was that nagging need for revenge, or to at least find out who or what was after him and try to engage it in some sort of reasonable discussion. But there had to be some reason why he'd gone along with this from the start... He felt something in the rock of the mountain. It was moving again, and he didn't care. He could feel the passage close behind him, and he could hear the rest of the mountain shifting around again. But what the druid was focused on was the low, deep rumble that echoed up from the base of the mountain. And it sounded like a voice. The druid listened, and then he knew. I am here to free the mountain... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. Order of Krell Summary (Avernum RP) Save the Mountain of Shadows RP! I hate undead.

Ghana knock US out of World Cup in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, June 23 2006 08:34 Profile Homepage #27 quote: Originally written by Ayami xx: Ghana were never going to win, but now they might go out to the winners. And enjoy themselves whilst doing it. Now, I'd think that would be heartbreaking. To come up against the team that everybody expects to win, and know that everyone expects you to get ground into the dust. And Sturg, Pujols just got back... cut him some slack. He hit a fairly long drive in his first at-bat, and he made contact every time. But yes, this was quite possibly the best pitching the Cards have seen in quite some time... though Carpenter's 13 K game was pretty nice as well.
