Enraged Slith's Graphic Updates in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Friday, July 20 2007 21:08 Profile Homepage #3 Gah! I have a half finished beta report in front of me, but I hit a wall when I encountered a rather nasty error with that gremlin that suicides. I'll get it sent to you tonight or tomorrow so my plate is cleared for the 24. Edit: Report sent. When I said later tonight I wasn't messing around. :P [ Friday, July 20, 2007 22:20: Message edited by: Lazarus. ] -------------------- "Heart of Earth located in Europe, Ass of Earth located in USA."

The 24 Hour Contest in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Wednesday, July 18 2007 18:50 Profile Homepage #38 Rules question: Should importing towns be allowed? I know I stated that town design needs to be done the day of, but importing towns from already created scenarios is a tad different than drawing new towns ahead of time. I put this up to you guys because this affects me, and I don't want to go making rules to give myself an advantage. Specifically I was thinking of doing several scenarios for the contest that would fit together into a multi-part story. There would be some overlap occasionally where I'd want to import a town, which is why I ask ahead of time before I begin work. This rule could also apply to designers who want to perhaps make a short sequel to a previous work, and could import an old town. I'll leave this up to you guys-- I'll get by regardless of which way you decide.

A3 Character Races in The Avernum Trilogy
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, July 16 2007 05:08 Profile Homepage #3 Firstly this is the trilogy, so that's irrelevant. Secondly it's irrelevant anyhow, since it is impossible to change race in BoA as well, even with the HLPM. You cannot change a preexisting character's race. If it's an aesthetics thing you can just change their graphics, but if if you actually need a non-human for some event you'll have to create a new PC. You can leave your old PC behind in Fort Emergence temporarily, then pick him back up once you've done whatever it is you wanted the slith/nephil for. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Sunday, July 15 2007 13:12 Profile Homepage #26 Bad news Eph, the contest started 18 hours ago... :D Actually I think next week will be the week, meaning the contest will span from the morning of the 22nd to midnight of the 28th. This seems to fit everybody's schedule except Thralni (to whom I apologize. The only week that looks like it'd work for you is the 5th - 11th, which is getting close to the start of school and would mean judging would be going on the week I'd be moving in. Sorry.) -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot? Posts: 900 \| Registered: Monday, August 8 2005 07:00

The 24 Hour Contest in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Wednesday, July 11 2007 22:16 Profile Homepage #16 I would have preferred to have everybody working on one day-- I thought it'd be a little more contest-ish than just having everybody do their own thing-- but I'm growing increasingly doubtful about how practical this would be. Even if we choose a Saturday where most people would be free, there will always be a few who work that day (like myself...) or are otherwise unable to participate. I mean look at the BoA chat turnouts-- half the people who say they're coming usually are no shows, and that's just a few hours, not a whole day. I was already thinking that perhaps a make up day would be necessary, but I suppose simply extending it to a contest week rather than a contest day would be the best way to be all-inclusive. So as cool as it'd be to have a good portion of the Blades community all scrambling to turn out a scenario between morning and midnight of Saturday the xth, ultimately I'd rather have the entire community (or at least as many as want to participate) choosing a day that suits them and doing their own thing. Thoughts? Would this be better for everybody? It's sure as hell going to make it easier for me to schedule (Although we still need to pick a week. :P ) [ Wednesday, July 11, 2007 22:18: Message edited by: Lazarus. ] -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Magical Effects? in Blades of Avernum

There is a section in there called "Conditions" that lists all the magical effects. It sounds, though, like you are webbed.

The 24 Hour Contest in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, July 9 2007 11:32 Profile Homepage #2 Planning ahead is alright, but nothing handwritten. Basically as long as you haven't put pen to paper you're fine. As for graphics, anything explicitly for this scenario must be made the day of, but general graphics (like the Louvre etc) are fine. The same applies to scripts. If it's already been written (Codex or used in other scenarios) then it's alright to use. But writing a new script ahead of time for a boss battle or something is not. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

The 24 Hour Contest in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, July 9 2007 10:06 Profile Homepage #0 Jack Bauer jokes not welcome... The idea is simple-- design a scenario in a single day. The rules, as settled on by myself and TM: quote: 1. Work begins at 12 am EST of the contest date. Entries must be submitted by midnight EST of the contest date (TBA) 2. Scenario must be made entirely on the contest day. Creature scripts/terrain scripts that have already been written are acceptable, but all other script work and town design needs to be done that one day. 3. Once entries are submitted, designers will have another 3 days before judging begins during which they can beta test. 4. Judges will rank scenarios from first to last, a la the 1/10 judging. Contest participants are eligible to judge, but their scores will not be counted until their own scenarios are eliminated. Judging will begin 3 days after the initial deadline, and will last as long as is deemed necessary (Depending on how many judges we have and how many entries) That's about it. We still need to decide on a day for the contest. Most likely we'll wind up doing it on a Saturday or Sunday, but we need to figure out who is free when. If you're interested in participating post here and weigh in on what day is good for you. If you wish to judge please post as well. That is all. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

how is this not working? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Sunday, July 8 2007 16:14 Profile Homepage #9 I think this is what you were going for with the first script: Checks for each PC whether or not he's on one of the safe spots, and kills him if he isn't. As for the creature script, I'm not patient enough to debug that. But at first glance I'd say the problem is, as Niemand said, with the variable. Remember that whenever you erase the creature and activate a new group the value T is lost. Use a flag. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

Copying towns? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Friday, July 6 2007 21:02 Profile Homepage #3 I usually back up my scenario before I use delete or import town, partly because I'm afraid the editor itself will screw up and partly because I'm afraid I'll write over the wrong town. And I always back up before using the expand outdoors feature in the 3d editor, I've had bad experiences with that. Import/delete town has never messed up on me though, so it's safe. Just don't import over the wrong town-- that I have done, and it sucks if you don't have a backup. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?
