I've made a script / story in General
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Monday, March 13 2006 07:48 Profile Homepage #169 Delicious Vlish got his tentacles stepped on. Is anyone else reminded of the Flumphs in Order of the Stick? -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.

Help Me. (A.K.A Look at my Scenario) in Blades of Avernum
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Monday, March 13 2006 07:38 Profile Homepage #1 May or may not have time to look at it. Hopefully, I will. You seem to not have mentioned how we are to respond to you in your post. Posting replies, sending PMs, sending e-mails... -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are, there is probably someone just as attractive who is not desperate to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a prisoner sent to my bedchamber. Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00
Easter eggs? in Avernum 4
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Monday, March 13 2006 07:34 Profile Homepage #38 I don't remember anything anvil-related in A3. When you talk to X then, he talks about the Xian items. In fact, X is coherent in A3, and almost sane. Hopefully, he's back to his usual self in A4. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.

Dialogue Problems in Blades of Avernum Editor

As near as we can tell, it only exists to help the designer keep track of who each dialogue node belongs to. Hmmm... this got me thinking. I haven't looked into it, but maybe you could use it to make everyone in a certain range of personalities become hostile, or some other effect. All you would need is some call to check personalities, if one exists. -------------------- I'm not as think as you drunk I am, occifer. Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00

No New Topics For A Day (Monday the 13th) in General
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Saturday, March 11 2006 13:41 Profile Homepage #14 By Salmon: quote: Maybe instead, new topics in General should be restricted to certain classes of members that have proven themselves (through hook or crook) to be reliable sources of "thought, creativity and originality." All other forums would of course remain open to all members. This would probably lead to the atrophy of General over time. Also, we would have much more off-topic clutter. It's easier to lock a topic than to read each one, censoring individual posts. Besides, we have far too many people now trying to "prove themselves" without an incentive. -------------------- All hail their Modjesties! Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00
My humble script database in Blades of Avernum Editor
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Saturday, March 11 2006 13:35 Profile Homepage #1 Hmmm... IE didn't like me right-clicking and saving, so I opened one. For some reason, your script is all on one line. Thus, if anyone else wants to use it, they have to manually make new lines (or risk the entire script being seen as a comment). For simplicity, I recommend you zipping up the files (or whatever the Macs do). Or even easier, submit your scripts to a script database (I think there's a Lyceum based one). -------------------- Be kind to nerds... you'll probably end up working for one.

Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Saturday, March 11 2006 13:20 Profile Homepage #6 By BainIhrno: quote: I thought it was rather poor. Maybe it was that the scenarios just aren't very good, or maybe it's that the game is just clunky. I can't say I liked it, nor do I plan to support it in any way. Scenarios aren't that good? They're just ports of the BoE scenarios, except for DwtD. If you mean the third-party scenarios, remember, the first batch of BoE third-party scenarios probably weren't too hot either. -------------------- Consult the Book of Armaments! - Quest for the Holy Grail Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00

Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Friday, March 10 2006 10:04 Profile Homepage #6 There is no way JV is going to release a new editor anytime soon. From a financial standpoint, he's going keep BoA out there until people completely stop buying it; he's not going to threaten one of his own products. Hmmm... to generate a completely random dungeon, you would have to probably have to make a separate program which outputs something in .bas format. Making random enemies would probably be easier than a random landscape. Still, it's something to consider when I have more programming skill and way more time on my hands. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way -- even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless -- my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.
