Where BoA falls short in Blades of Avernum

Editor bug? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Friday, July 30 2004 16:00 Profile Homepage #0 I don't know if anyone noticed this yet, but I've found what looks like a bug: When I place a signpost, when I try to click the OK button, the editor screens scrolls (as if I had clicked in the frame), even when I just mouseover the button. As a matter of fact, if my mouse hovers the frame, the window scrolls and starts placing signposts as if it was placing a road! The worse part is that the editor becomes unstable. When I try to quit, it freezes. I have to terminate (ctrl+alt+del) the program. Here's a screenshot. All those signposts appeared when I just tried to click the ok button, which is right above the scrolling frame, so there's no way I can click there without the window start scrolling, placing signposts in a row and then freezes when I try to quit. (If I leave the mouse still, working with only the keyboard, I can avoid the bug, but that's bad, as I really need the mouse) Is this only me? I tried in two different computers (WinXP and Win2000), and the bug always happens. -------------------- Visit the Blades of Avernum Center and the Beta Testing Center -------------- "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."

Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Tuesday, July 27 2004 13:36 Profile Homepage #42 quote: I predict it being the divisive factor of the SW community. Explain why. Only if you're talking about the reactions from certain members of the BoA community, which are far from representing it. (In case you don't know, the BoA (and spidweb's) community isn't reduced to the people who post here or in any other forum. Most of them are people who aren't interest in participating in forum or whatever. They just found the game, liked it, play it and some como again to see if there are more scenarios for their game. Somo even might think about making one, so they seek help for that. Those are the people I want to serve. Give them the information they need. Which leads me to comment your next statement: quote: And a great site does not exist because it wants people. A great site exists because people want it, because it fills some kind of vital niche. I agree. I didn't create the site because "wanted people" or whatever that means. I want to share something I like (BoA and it's editor), help other people with it, change information, etc. I don't know why would I make a site just because I would "want people". That's for egocentric people who have nothing better to do, probably with low self-esteem. I'm old enough, have my responsabilities, my work, my study, family, girlfriend... My life isn't internet, so it's not the internet that will satisfy my needs as a person, as a human. It's just a hobby, and it's in that point of view that I see BoA and the BoA Center. So I just can't understand the concept about making a site just to attract people. Attract for what? It's a site to serve and share. Yes, share means that are certain things I want in return: people getting the help they need, people making scenarios for all of our enjoyment. So it's natural that it needs people, not because that's the purpose of the site (just get people), but because a community isn't nothing without people. We need people to contribute with their share to the BoA scene: scripts, art, scenarios. But it's all mutual. I don't want to 'divise' the community, I want to contribute. Now, if you don't like the site, it's your right. If you don't wanna visit, just do so. But why talk bad about it? Why trying so hard to see it down (and I'm not only talking to you now)? Aren't you the one's who are hurting the community? Just think about it. quote: This site will be, even at best, a poor substitute for the Lyceum, to say nothing of SW satellite sites with individual character. Unless you know the future, it's pure malice saying that. I can't understand how a BoA fan, or someone who wants to see the community grow and strive, could act like this. That means you're clearly attacking. I don't see no reason for an attack a just born site. There are no real motives to do so. So th attack can only be a form of defence. Defence of what? Maybe some egos. Maybe people who think the site is a threat... "Threat? Ha!" That's what you must be thinking now. But if it's not, then why worry? Why trying to put it down? I made the site for the motives I told already. I didn't know this would happen with some people around here. I want to contribute and bring something positive. Even if you were right in saying that I'm failing in doing so, at least I'm not doing something negative for the community, like you're doing (once again, I'm targeting certain people, not generalizing or only talking about you). quote: Now Overwhelming, rest of community, stop hectoring each other. Thank you. That's an hypocrisy. You try to bite me above, contributing to the "hectoring" (that I didn't start and even tried to avoid), and then say that... Well, let's just do that. Any other post after this one will be just ignored. I have no time for this silly situation. I wish things could have started better here. It started good and some statistics indicate me that my site is being useful, visited and, who knows, making people enjoy even more the game and the scenario design experience. By the way, the BoAC's forum is just secondary. It has the potencial to be the best forum, or might be the worse. I don't care, because I want people to find the best they can. If it's not my site, no worries. If people like the site, but prefer another forum to gather around, no worries. The important thing is that they get what they need to have/make an optimum BoA experience. I want to contribute, but even if I fail I should not be misregarded for that. But I won't fail. I won't let the site die. I even have some good plans for it. It will always be there for anyone who wants to go there. That I can assure. This is not just an initial enthusiasm that will just fade away. If I were 10 years younger, I would ask myself that ;) . But that's not the case. I'm a busy person. Now I'm on holidays, so that's why I put aside some time to create the site. But I'm not going to say holidays are finished, have no time and start forgetting the site, if that's what you think. I plan to make it a weekly updated site. I'm being fair with my self: I wouldn't have time or even will to make a daily site. So I've set a more realistic objectives for it, so that in the future it won't became a burden. Anyway, I hope that I could clarify some things. It's up to you to listen or not. I hope I didn't offend anyone. Let's just forget all of this and just make this community even better. Let spend this time playing and desiging. :) (PS: Gee... Almost 15 (!) minutes spent writing this, I hope it was worth it) (probably some people will find it funny to say it wasn't :P ) -------------------- Visit the Blades of Avernum Center and the Beta Testing Center -------------- "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."

It's doorlvever.txt, except a click sound and a different text box. was edited in as a result of my comments. Without that, it was plagiarism, intentional or not. To bore more accurate, there was no plagiarism. Here's the original statement: quote: "(...) basically simple lever (...)" I made it more clear, due to complaints: substituted "simple lever" with "doorlevel.txt".

The Scenario Ranking Contest Has Begun! in Blades of Exile
Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Monday, July 26 2004 11:15 Profile Homepage #17 quote: Originally written by ben4808: If you don't already know, I'm 14, so I'm pretty much still under the control of my parents. So, my Mom says I can play Exile as long as I stay away from all magic, demons, or (for no logical reason to my knowledge) goblins. So I'm pretty much restricted to working with no-magic scenarios on the scenario editor and playing them. I don't know of a good scenario that I could play like this. Also, as you might have guessed, I have to use an all-fighter party, hence my last topic. Just some question: 1. It's okay to use fighter, as they only use their swords to cut to pieces their enemies? 2. There can't be any demons and globlins, but it's okay to kill other humans? 3. Why do they let you play a game where, sooner or later, you'll have to use violence (combat) and killing? 4.

You're just making a defamatory post. Fortunately you included an URL, so people might judge themselves your imagined plagiarism. I wonder why you're so worried about the site and forum.
