The brothel shouldn't be the most offensive thing in the scenario. The blatant fascism, anti-God rhetoric and a menagerie of other things will do that just fine. ^_^ -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

In One-Way Street, the party is given a plot-mandatory mission to kill the owner of a brothel at the behest of the religious institution that the party belongs to. To what extent should I have the party see/hear the actions described therein? How aught I limit this encounter to make it decent? I've already set the scenario's rating to "Mature" accordingly, I don't want to absolutely have to set it to "Adult", and I want to keep it safe enough to put on Spidweb's tables and into the design contest. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I'm working on innkeeper.txt, a script that would use calls to "simulate" an inn. (Yes, I realize that this makes me the lazies man in existence. ;) ) My problem is that I call a teleport_party();, but it's not allowed. My question is why- if the party is talking to a creature, they're already out of combat mode, so moving wouldn't be entirely out of the question. Could this be changed at all, or is it set-in-stone? -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

The BoA editor is way too easy to make stupid mistakes in. On the flip-side, it's now possible to do so many more things. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

http://www.geocities.com/terrorsmartyr/BladesofAvernum/scripts.html I know, I know- all of these scripts are just more evidence in a mounting pile, all pointing to me as a lazy arsehole not worth his weight period. Eh. (Although I will warn people not to always use this script- It's generally not considered to be a Good Idea(®) to have explicitly blank scenarios in terms of dialogue. Use at your own discretion.) EDIT: Coming up soon- innkeeper.txt, so you can even cop out of having talking innkeepers. ^_^ Also, ihateyou.txt, you'll see!

The BoA version is better, although I wouldn't go so far as to call either of the versions "excellent". And I'd also say that playing both is worth-while. In my eyes, the two are at least different enough to warrant playing both, or at least the BoA version. The BoE version is... Mediocre, nothing more. And spy.there: I won't be porting any of my scenarios, sorry. Buy BoE...!

I disagree with Arancaytar- by the time UA actually gets a modicum of sanity, the rate at which he is currently progressing placing this event well after the end of the world, he will have wasted more than enough resources and oxygen to justify euthenasia. -------------------- Rate My Scenarios!

You could simulate exponential operations by assigning variables and multiplying themselves by themselves, ie: x = x * x -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

In the editor, I spend ~30 minutes looking for some way to set a creature's attitude. It hadn't occured to me yet to use "set_attitude(a,b)", because it was listed as "short set_attitude(a,b)". Could you (Jeff), in the next version of the editor or at least in the .zip file from whence the editor is obtained, fix this please? Thanks! (I, AFAIK, probably won't be the only person to become confused by this.) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I agree. Imban, beating B2 with a level 4 party, is godlike. The Creator, beating Falling Stars with a level 1 party, is more like god. Thuryl, beating Echoes with a level 1 party, is God period. :P -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I considered that, but Tim O'Brien's directions were clear enough. None of the testers complained about it, anyway. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

There are, and I guarantee you on this, more than one dispel-barrier devices in this scenario. Look hard, it's not that difficult. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
