I suspect that most scenarios that the designer doesn't talk about never get finished either, it's just that we don't hear of them. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. New Mac BoE Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Python isn't so much slower than C++ that it would count as a reason against making the editor with it. In fact, a complete rewrite would probably be faster, because it wouldn't have much of the boneheadedness that the current one has. However, it would be a major project and probably not worth the trouble. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

I do have plans to for it. You are also welcome to use it as a base when it's less buggy. It seems I badly screwed something up somewhere, so I'll need to dig about and fix it. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

There's probably a mistake much further down. Maybe a missing break, or missing ) or }, or something. BoA is very bad about the line numbering for errors. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. New Mac BoE Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Thanks for the feedback. I won't be able to hack at it until Monday, but a few comments: I'm surprised at the rectangle and x,y only working in zoomed-out mode. Pretty much all my testing of them was in zoomed-in mode. The way the wall-drawing tool (should) works, is that each square is divided into nine sections: (Actually, these are 1/4, 1/2, 1/4 thickness, rather than 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. I may change that) A click in an O on the diagram should do nothing, and a click in one of the directions should try to add a wall there. Dragging is basically a process of hitting the direction squares you want while avoiding the ones you don't want. At least, it should be. In zoomed-out mode it theoretically works the same, except that the divisions are too small to click in easily. I'll experiment with different ways of dividing the square and try to pick something that works better. As for the paintbrush and so on, I thought I'd squashed that bug, but I obviously haven't. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

There are currently two BoA scenarios not made by Jeff. Only one of them can be entered in the contest. In light of that, it doesn't seem like a good idea to have the competition any time soon. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

Yes, scenarios still work. There's more to running it on a PC than just compiling it. There are all the libraries for the Mac interface and so on. To make it work on a PC, you'd need the PC source code and reasonable knowledge of how to merge it all. Wall tools - you need to have things set to editing terrain (not floors or heights). Select a walltype (any walltype). For the rectangle, click on a location for top left and for bottom right. Each square is notionally divided into four, and where in the square you click determines whether the walls run along the top or bottom of the square. For the walldrawing, select either a plain wall terrain type, or a door or whatever (any direction) to draw a door. The tool then works like the normal pencil, except that you have to click near the edges of the square to make a wall appear or disappear in that edge. (and not too close to the corner) -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. New Mac BoE Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I've hacked about with the BoA editor source, and I've made something that I at least think is an improvement. The main additions are tools for drawing walls much more easily, and there are a few other minor things. Get it here. Source is here. This is for MacOS X only. It should be possible to compile it for OS 9. PC users can't. It's only tested on my computer (10.3). -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

As far as I know, you can't get the spell in VotDT. You'll have to use piercing crystals. If you're trying to get through the glowing gates, though, you need the opening stone. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

Very weird. I just use the restore_pc() call on every party member. If that doesn't work, I think it's Jeff's fault. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. New Mac BoE Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
