I do maths. I don't know what my IQ is, but it was pretty high last time it was checked (when I was about 10).

I don't do cats.

Why allow the exceptions for pre-spines and for turrets etc? It's possible to win without killing anything, so why not just say you can't kill anything until you find your spines?

TM: I fail to see how Kelandon making scenarios that people "shouldn't" like is bad for direction of the community or whatever. You can carry on making scenarios full of philosphical stuff, he can carry on making scenarios the way he wants, and players can play the ones they enjoy. Trying to force things into a single "direction" will do nothing but limit the variety (and number) of scenarios that get released, and alienate players who would like to have fun killing things and solving laser puzzles, or who want a simple plot, or whatever.

Remember that BoA is a computer game, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a player wanting some mindless relaxation or some screwy puzzling. The best siutuation would be people making quality scenarios of all styles. If people find that Kelandon's style gets boring or overdone, they can just not play his scenarios. If people find that your style gets boring or overdone, they can just not play your scenarios.

As for complaints about people's opinions being anachronistic, it's generally the case that something that was good X years ago is still good. Also, a lot of people have not played BoE and (although several of the world's religions will disagree with me here) that's not a sin.

There is no scenario which I think we would be better off without, and I can't see that changing any time soon.

Michael: Almost all of Ash Lael's posts are worth reading. Compare with what a lot of the newbies are posting.

And there's a huge difference between the occasional typo, which nobody minds, and the complete disregard for the English language that he was complaining about.

Learning to script in Blades of Avernum
Post Navel Trauma ^_^
Member # 67

If you haven't played BoE, I don't see how you can be qualified to convert scenarios. Unless you are very familiar with a scenario and how BoE works, you have no hope of converting it well.

As for learning, converting a scenario would be going in at the deep end. BoE scenarios will contain a lot of technical coding that has been converted into a different system. You're best off trying to make your own. Start making a town. Add some NPCs and some dialogue. Add a few simple scripted parts. Play with the editor. You'll learn much more by trying than by rereading the documentation (although you'll want both docs files open while fiddling, likely as not).

It seems like a lot of people thought they enjoyed the laser puzzles. Since nobody likes laser puzzles, those people must have been wrong.

Or something...

If for some reason plain text isn't adequate, you can use rtf. Just about everyone can read that. And if you need something more complicated, try PDFs.

When I tried the spines, they were pretty lame. They hardly reflect any damage.

Uh, yeah. Alint is not a dialog editor. As for it not working, to help there I need to know what sort of computer you use, what you tried and what happened.

Can a true loyalist actually get to make cryoras, or does it need a canister?

You could modify the tutorial scenario to give your party stuff, assuming you haven't deleted it.
