If he doesn't add calls, I drop whatever I'm working on and quit designing alltogether. BoE spent 7 years neglected, four of which I endured, and I don't want to see whichever medium I work with hereafter rot either. I can wait for Pyg, if it means suitable coverage and updates which meet the requirements of its designers. Honestly, I'd be thrilled to recieve support from JV for BoA. I'd be totally unsurprised if none was provided. The only thing differentiating this and the four years of BoE is my continuously waning patience. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

You spelled it correctly. I'm not even going to begin getting into detail about the Rakshasi, suffice it to say that if your scenario takes place on the surface or Exile, there are little-to-no bonds between Rakshasi. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

US Conflict Avatars. SMoE forced the mods to lock it by being an utter and complete asshole resulting in being banned for a month, but seeing how it COULD be locked and didn't break the boards, your offense becomes infintely more egregious by comparison. And the topic still lived on afterwards. Go figure!

Another request (I'm TPing this, BTW) is that SFX calls be enabled for outdoors. I've perfected the art of making something action-packed that uses no towns for BoE, and I could have really used some outdoor SFX nodes. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

JUST a minor infraction? The last time somebody forced a topic to be locked, they were banned. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Honestly? The "multiple images" deal is a nice idea, but I don't think it'll happen. If you tell Jeff to build you a hut, you might get it if you're lucky. If you ask him to build the Empire State Building, he will piss in your face and tell you it's raining. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Oh yeah... I'd also like to have custom scenario icons. It would be super-easy to do, and isn't even listed as not being possible. Not a top priority, but it's so damn easy that I can't see it being too difficult to do anyway. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Why are you people responding so long-windedly? It will NEVER happen, and and even if it does, any designer worth his or her marbles will NEVER use it. I haven't passworded a scenario since Unbalanced Accounts, and with good reason. EDIT: And for reference, myself, Khoth, Eldiran, Vogel and Westra are all Mac users: Westra did the cookbook before the PC version, and the rest of us were making scenarios before the PC version.

Items can't be done, but monsters can. Have different versions of each monster, record them with four SDFs for each- life, x loc, y loc, health. Not sure why you'd WANT to, but it *is* your prerogative... (Actually, though, that'd be interesting- one side could be friendly characters who help you out or are innocents, and if you kill their counterparts, they die off. Lots of potential there.) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

It's most definitely possible- something along the magic mirror used in Zelda 2, I'm assuming? Just have it store each party member's locations as SDFs, and check which town the party is in to send them to the "alternate" one. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I might petition JV for a game reward. It probably won't happen, but it's a decent pipe dream. As it stands, there isn't a reward beyond allowing designers to make more artistically sound and aesthetically pleasing scenarios. Judging will be done as it has been in graphic contests past. People can judge as many or as few categories as they want, submitting a score from 1-10 for all graphics therein, providing that they aren't entrants in the categories they're judging. It usually works out fairly well. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

(Now, of course, I could point out the value of scenarios as metaphors. But I suppose I'd probably receive a host of comments about NTH along the lines of "the plot hurts it," so I'll spare everyone the sure-fire recipe for a plot nobody will like.) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

It has limited use- cast it on a boss and then run. I used it to beat a Shambler at level 1 in Avernum 3. But that's pretty much it. Oh yeah- magic immunity also protects creatures from petrification. This is not as big of a deal since parties can't capture the soul of a Basilisk anymore (unlike A3, where Rentar could be slain with one), but it's still worth noting. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I hate to bust your bubble and some-forth, Robin, but you more-or-less didn't do that in BoE, on account of its being flat-out impossible. The best way to do this would be keeping a "bank" with notepad and extracting when necessary between scenarios by using both the Artifacts Hall and the Character Editor. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
