By Thuryl: quote:Speaking of which, was Michael Crichton involved in writing the screenplay for Lost World? I know he was for Jurassic Park as well as the third one if I remember correctly. Actually, Jurassic Park is my favourite example for book versus movie discussions. The book was too cerebral for long stretches for a movie, and it had too much violence and coarse language to be a 14A movie. The movie had too much mindless action and flat characters for a book. The author was involved with the movie transition, and he used the best things for each medium. Although I bemoan the absence of rocket launchers in the movie. -------------------- Tom Bombadil for the win! Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Prize is as much a villain as Kill Prize, Win Ogre is a scenario. The only reason I made it was to engage in copious amounts of self-promotion, possibly making a point about said self-promotion at the same time. But hey.

NPC Script Question in Blades of Avernum Editor | |

One technique I thought up a while ago was to alter basicnpc.txt itself. Wrap the default behaviour in an else, and then add your own scripting in ifs that test for the desired condition. For instance, before the default else, test to see if the creature's number is X, where X is the creature number for Hank the Hireling. I have yet to get around to implementing it, though. -------------------- I wouldn't shake his hand if I were you. I hear he licks his thumb.

By Micawber: quote:To build on what Synergy said, the entire point of General is to keep the forumers around. The purpose of the board as a whole is helping people out with the games (and thus decrease the workload on Jeff Vogel), but that hardly keeps people coming back day after day. General does, and thus are we fiendishly bound to this board. And I'd like to add that just because not everyone posts in this thread doesn't mean it isn't read. I don't have the time, much less the skill, to jump into most online debates, but that doesn't mean I don't try to keep somewhat up to date on them. Meh. The post would have been better if I had the time to post it at noon. -------------------- Just open both doors. Hopefully the Tiger goes for the Lady.
