LP Nethergate graphics in Blades of Avernum
Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Saturday, April 23 2005 01:34 Profile Homepage #18 You could use an installer for your scenario. One that would backup replaced files. Then, when uninstalling, it would put the backuped files back. You could give two options: install the basic scenario and install the graphically enhanced scenario (so that people don't have to delete your scenario when they want to the default BoA's graphics back). EDIT: Humm... I only know some PC shareware installers, but there might be some for Mac, I guess.

The International Contest of Spider Games shall now commence! in General
Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Sunday, April 17 2005 06:10 Profile Homepage #27 I'd say BoA. BoE's graphics are unpleasant by today's standards (and no, I don't give much importance to graphics: I play BoA, remember). I've only played the demo and I must say I prefer BoA's interface and gameplay. What matters the quantity, if the quality is subpar? (Not the quality of the scenarios, but the quality of the game engine where they were made.) I still remember playing Exile I many years ago, and I liked it. But I must confess that now that I played Avernum, I wouldn't even consider playing Exile I if I had to choose. -------------------- 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."

These are two very different things.* You are biologically a human and you are humanly alive. The fetus/embryo is biologically a human and humanly alive, since it's human to be a zygote before an embryo, an embryo before a fetus, a fetus before a child, a child before an adult. Spy.there: quote: There seem to be a line of morality between "vegetative" and "conscious" being. Most of you have no problems with eating animals and consider cattle as "not conscious" life. Nobody cares to kill a cabbage or an onion, nevertheless they have a DNA, metabolism and live. A human embryo has at best the consciousness of a salad. Why should it be worthier then? Who says animals don't have conscience? Their conscience is limited and diferent from a human's conscience, but they have. So that's not what separate's a human from an animal, so can't separate an embryo from an human too. So the bottom line is: the embryo is a human being, no matter how conscious or how developed. Or should we kill people with the syndrome of Down? If you want to put in question why should we protect a human life, then you should ask why are murder, rape, theft, etc illegal. dolphin: quote: The being has pulse, it processes food and fluids, but it has no thoughts, feelings or concept of existing. It has no life in of itself. Those two sentences are contraditory. quote: There is no need to kill a partially living thing that requires minimal care and harms no other life. This doesn't contribute to your point of view either. quote: The loss of education, career, or other vital aspects of ones life may or may not be worth the being that is only somewhat living. What a selfish and cruel statement to make. It's better to kill the baby, than supporting certain ordeals. What you're saying is that assassination is ok, because the child's would bother you. You also say it's ok because in your opinion, the embryo/fetus is just "somewhat" a human being. Fortunately wise people don't agree with you, and condemn assassination. Fortunately our ethics and laws aren't based in misinformed personal opinions, like your's. -------------------- 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."

John 3:16, Ephesians 1:7, Rom 8, Acts 16:31: quote: 31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved–you and your household.” In none of the verses you provided does it say that it is absolutely necessary to become baptized. Read them a few times to yourself, the only thing that some of the mention is that is is necessary to believe in Jesus to become saved. Though baptism is a good idea, it is optional and you don't need to do it to gain salvation. Baptism is just a sign in a way, a public testimony that you've changed your life and are willing to use it to serve God. Get baptized if you can, but generally, you don't have to. Conservative Russian Baptist, voted yes for hell. Edit: Voted yes for hell...now that I think about it, it sounds kind of awkward.[/b][/quote]As you can see in the references I gave you, you show you believe and have faith in Jesus through baptism.

Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Saturday, April 9 2005 12:17 Profile Homepage #284 I've been way, couldn't follow the debate here. Anyway, here's a comment: quote: Originally written by Kelandon: DNA aside (viruses have DNA, but a lot of medical experts don't consider them alive), separate entity aside (a protist is a separate entity, but you're willing to cure malaria), that's the bottom line for me: a two-month-old fetus simply is not humanly alive. Viruses have DNA (or RNA) but don't have humanDNA. A protist is a separate entity, but not a human separate entity. Your logic is flawed. There's no point when a certain existence becomes a human existence. When he exists (zygote), he's a human existence. You don't become from a zygote, you were a zygote. You didn't come from a fetus, you were a fetus. You didn't come from adolescence, you were (and probably still are) an adolescent. -------------------- 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."

Remember the thief on the cross next to Jesus? Only after Jesus' death we need baptism. Before that, there wqas lamb sacrificing. Jesus was the final sacrifice. Since then, christian stoped sheep sacrifices. Besides, it's not me who says baptism is necessary, it's the Bible. By baptism we confess our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and testify of our death to sin and of our purpose to walk in newness of life. Thus we acknowledge Christ as Lord and Saviour, become His people, and are received as members by His church [emphasis added to make you note that by church i'm not refering to a specific denomination]. Baptism is a symbol of our union with Christ, the forgiveness of our sins, and our reception of the Holy Spirit. It is by immersion in water and is contingent on an affirmation of faith in Jesus and evidence of repentance of sin. It follows instruction in the Holy Scriptures and acceptance of their teachings. (Rom. 6:1-6; Col. 2:12, 13; Acts 16:30-33; 22:16; 2:38; Matt. 28:19, 20.) -------------------- 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."

Where do you get that? Baptizing is an outward expression to the world of your faith toward God. You don't really have to be baptized to go to heaven, and just because you're baptized doesn't mean you'll go to heaven. Actually, Jesus said we have to be baptized (to born again). It's not only an outward expression to the world, it's borning again. Since we born as sinners, we must born again through Christ. And if you consider Christ as an example, then you should consider that He was baptized. Baptism doesn't grant automatic salvation, but is required. -------------------- 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."

Not a place, not a torture. The only thing eternal is the death. And being an action and not being a place, there's no hell right now. People who die don't go to heaven or hell, they're just dead until Judgement Day.

What about if both would die if an abortion was not performed? That's obvious: we chose the lesser malefice: no abortion = 2 death; abortion = 1 death + 1 life. The second one is one of those cases where abortion is aceptable.

Are human lives priceless? The life of a complete stranger isn't worth much to me at all. How much would you pay to save a life? How much are you paying to save lives? Virtually everyone who says that the lives of people they don't know are of value is a hypocrite, because they themselves don't really care about those lives. If you did, you'd spend all your time and money on charitable work instead of sitting around on the internet in fruitless debate. I pay taxes so that the State, among other duties, can protect/save lives. Not to terminate them, as in the case of abortion. And of course I care, or I wouldn't bother defending pro-life. You have no way to fairly say I don't care about those lives. But, once again, that's not a pertinent issue to the debate: People don't care if their neighbour is murdered, so why should defend a law agains't murder?
