Betatesters for 3D Blades of Avernum Editor! in Blades of Avernum
Isaac Warrior Member # 4202	written Thursday, August 19 2004 09:01 Profile Homepage #89 Dahak: There's a chance your download was corrupted. I've seen something like it happen once. I suggest you try downloading the editor again. If that doesn't work, what scenario are you editing that this happens with? If it's not one of the ones that I can get from Spiderweb, can you make it available to me? -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.

Isaac Warrior Member # 4202	written Wednesday, August 18 2004 02:11 Profile Homepage #86 I haven't even managed to reproduce this thing! Do you have a reliable way to get it to happen? Also, does it only happen on certain scenarios? And what do you mean the sector is "corrupted"? EDIT: Has anyone else had anything like this (crashing when scrolling between outdoor sectors) happen?

Isaac Warrior Member # 4202	written Tuesday, August 17 2004 02:44 Profile Homepage #82 Strange. Do you know what you were doing, or any details that might help me? Does a dialog come up saying "The application has unexpectedly quit"? If so, can you get me the stack trace from the Console? Has this ever happened to you when doing a lot of editing and switching outdoor sector without this feature? Does it only happen in a particular scenario? What sort of properties have the scenarios it happened in have? Outdoor dimensions? Were you also editing the town, or not at all? Did you load a different town? Did you also use the Load outdoor sector from the menu? Are you using other applictions at the same time? (when running at the same time as Blades of Avernum, the only ill affect I noticed was they were both about three times slower, and that happens with the non-3D editor as well) What version of the OS are you using? Many of these questions are possibly irrelevant, but I need information to help me track this down.

Floating terrain? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Isaac Warrior Member # 4202	written Saturday, August 14 2004 08:01 Profile Homepage #13 quote: Originally written by Dahak: 2) Sometimes graphics will "shine through" another graphics. Something about how it knows when Graphic A should cover Graphic B. I've yet to figure all the rules, but it annoying at times. It draws the spaces in this order: (x,y pairs) 0,0; 0,1; 0,2... 0,47 (or whatever the edge of your town is); 1,0; 1,1; 1,2... 0,47; 2,0; 2,1; 2,2... 0,47...... Essentially it starts at x=0 and goes through all the y's, starting at 0, then it goes on to the next x-position and does the same thing, until it's finished. The order it draws things in that are all on the same space is more complicated, but I could try to explain that if necessary.

Inner Sea in Blades of Avernum

Solution 1: Eventually all the water in the world is going to get to the bottom, wherever that is. Solution 2: Water is created at the top and a: is destroyed at the bottom (the nether realm of the infernal demons and heat?) b: never gets to the bottom, i.e. there is no bottom, the caves are infinitely deep Solution 3: Water is moved from the bottom to the top through a: teleportation b: manual labor c: ancient, automatic technology d: mysterious natural phenomena [ Friday, August 13, 2004 11:50: Message edited by: Isaac ] -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.

Isaac Warrior Member # 4202	written Friday, August 13 2004 10:04 Profile Homepage #11 Wow. Interesting. Those grid lines for the spaces where the bridge is, though... I think it would be appropriate for me to change the 3D editor to display them not adjusted by fl_floor_height_pixels. Then they would match where you click to edit them. Or I could change where you click to edit them, but I'm not sure that would be a good idea. -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.

Can be negative. I am a little confused by this wording, but I think it means how much light the party has, given by torches, etc? If so, we need: * short get_light(), returns the current light level (number of turns of light the party has left). It would also be useful to have a chart of what numbers of turns of light correspond to which light radii the party can have.
