The Nephil Search: Escape in Blades of Avernum
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Wednesday, April 11 2007 04:05 Profile Homepage #4 Hmmm, I had hoped for maybe more people willing to help. Oh well, I'll hear the other opinions during beta, only problem with that, is that puzzles might be less balanced than I would like too. Anyway, thanks to you two. Glad you like it. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

Avernumscript Editor in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Monday, April 9 2007 10:33 Profile Homepage #7 This seems nice, but what exactly will it feature that Textwrangler doesn't have? That, too, is a free text editing program, specifically for HTML, but it works well with any kind of script. EDIT: I was thinking, as something I would love to see, that it might be very handy to have some pre-defined script starts. Like that you can make a new file, and that you can choose what sort of script you want, and according to that the START, INIT etc states are automatically added. Something else which may be usefull, along the lines of what kelandon commented and is nit implemented in Textwrangler to my discontent, is a checker that automatically checks for parentheses: if you type an unmatched right bracket somewhere, it will immediatly warn you.

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Monday, April 9 2007 01:14 Profile Homepage #0 After six months into designing, I have finally decided to officially announce my second scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. You'll be able to find more about it on my website Just click the entry of 4 - 9 - 2007, and you should get to the appropriate place. During the designing process, I will sometimes be alpha testing the puzzles. If you want to help me with that, I would really appreciate it. Please first read the information on my website, though, so you know what you are getting into. then, if you want to help, leave your OS and email adress behind, so i can contact you when I require help. I'm excited about this scenario, and I hope you are too. Now it's back to work for me.

Plato vs. Aristotle in General
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Sunday, April 8 2007 05:45 Profile Homepage #25 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: Plato and Aristotle do seem to share an unwarranted confidence that they are enunciating final answers. That's inevitable, I suppose, in the rush of excitement over learning so much, so fast. Learning that things are harder than they seem was and is a slow and painful process. Exactly the same problem arised in the Fin de siècle: People thought that they were almost done with physics. Then came Einstein, Planck and some others and proved that they were only starting. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Plato vs. Aristotle in General
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Sunday, April 8 2007 00:52 Profile Homepage #23 Wow. People's way of thinking develops, you know. It took us all the time we had to, to come where we are now. You can start blaming two of the most famous and brilliant people, but this seems just a tad unreasonable to me. You can also blame the church for controlling people's minds in the way they did in the middle ages, but look at it this way: it caused people to think differently in the Renaissance, which helped u get where we are now. Listen, you can't possibly blame people for acting wrongly in a period of time that was totally different from ours. Try to understand that before you discard brilliant people! -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Plato was overrated. I just re-read this line and remembered that I'd like to hear it defended. To me it sounds like a joke. I don't really know both of them. I don't really know any philospher, to be honest, except for Empedocles and Demokritos, of whome I think Demokritos was a brilliant man. However, I general i prefer the Indian philosophers and alchemists. They managed to develop a lot before the Greeks came in (cough atom theorie cough). It's a pity they never are recognized for what they did, though.

Graphics Discussion in Blades of Avernum
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, April 6 2007 23:07 Profile Homepage #1 That's a very good idea, you know. I always just sat at my computer and hoped for the best. The result isn't exactly perfect cough I'll be sure to try this method once I need some graphics that nobody but me will be able to draw right (for multiple reasons). That graphic looks fine, by the way, but I think that the attackings ones might be a little static, if you understand what I mean. Except for the arm, there is not much motion. The Daeth garphics look nice, but I wondered if it wouldn't be weird to see the monster kneel and then instantly disappear. Other than that, good work. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

outdoor terrain modification in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, April 6 2007 11:07 Profile Homepage #13 The script I tested with doesn't use state 15 anymore, only the START and INIT states, without SDF (121,3). I'll try it with a fresh party, though, it might correct things. I certainly hope so.

Items on locations in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, April 6 2007 11:05 Profile Homepage #5 Okay, I'll try that. I, too, thought it might be the flags, although I really doubt it. I will do that sometime tomorrow, as the party of last night, the beer I drank and the last night sleep, plus the 5 hours of orchstra repetition have basically killed me. Anyway, thanks. EDIT: Just couldn't leave it alone, could I. Once I get obsessed with such things like these, i keep going until it works, and now it does. I still don't quite understand what the problem was, though. I took out the flags, and checked to what the flags were set, which were set correctly. Then I put in the flag checks, and it still worked. Then I took out the flags' checks of print_num() and it still works. Thanks for all the help guys, you made me a very happy man.

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, April 6 2007 04:31 Profile Homepage #2 Woops, I didn't know that was necessary. I'll do it right away. Thanks! EDIT: Hmmm, still doesn't seem to work right. I probably did something wrong: datascript: townscript: I put a print_num(num) call at the first if-call of the START_STATE, to see if it's triggered at all, and it's not. I think everything is right now, yet it doesn't work. What can be the problem now? Yes, I did put the right items in the town (445 and 446).

outdoor terrain modification in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, April 6 2007 01:51 Profile Homepage #10 Very, very weird... Okay, I tried out what was suggested in this thread, and nothing worked, so I decided to do some research. I entered the strings at the INIT and START_STATE, a = 1 for INIT and a = 2 for START. I came to the following conclusion: The START state is called every single turn, as it should, but no terrain is actually changed. The INIT state is called when you are within reach of the new outdoor section, about 5 - 10 spaces away from it. Now comes the strange part: the INIT state altered the terrain, but in a totally weird way. On every place it had to put terrain, it either heightened or lowered the terrain with about 10. This seemed somewhat random, though lowering happened a lot more. Also, the terrain modifications were in the wrong outdoor section, namely in the one the INIT state was triggered in. It then started giving a thousand times the error "terrain number out of reach," and when it had enough, BoA crashed. The report that was automatically made, said I have v1,1 of BoA, which seems strange to me. I downloaded BoA again, though, so I'll see what happens next. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, April 6 2007 01:26 Profile Homepage #0 I have a puzzle in which has to be hecked whether or not a certain item is on a certain spot. However, it fails to work correctly. The relevant bit of code is here: The first if-call checks for a slith spear, the second one for a greatsword. Can enybody see what is wrong in this script that it might not work? If somebod knows a better way to do the same, I would very appreciate it if he told me how to, as this call does actually not do exactly what I want it to do. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.
