Make sure you go to the Processes tab and check to see if explorer.exe is running first. Otherwise, attempting to launch Windows Explorer again will just result in a browsing window popping up. If explorer.exe is still running, right-click on it and select End Process. Confirm ending the process, and follow Sullest's instructions from there.

My money's on self-elimination, personally. I mean, we've already developed the nuclear warhead. It won't be long (relatively speaking) before we develop something powerful enough to blow each and every one of us off the face of the planet. And best yet, no aliens would be affected!

Unless, of course, the weapon we developed was a solarbonite bomb, at which case we can expect the aliens to harass Ephesos to prevent the untimely destruction of the universe. :P

Reaperdisks comes from Episode 1, with a reference in Act 3, an actual appearance in Act 4, and plot importance from there on out.

Eh, you've rekindled my interest to see if I can create new recipes from everyday household ingredients. I think I've already come up with two interesting and simple ideas.

And I do think potatoes count as healthy, so long as that's not the only thing you eat.

Food stamps aren't that simple to obtain, at least around here, because of fraud. Additionally, you can't just buy anything with food stamps. Usually, you're left with the cheap and easy-to-obtain stuff. No buying a ham or expensive, healthy food. Just stuff capable of sustaining life, really.

Somewhere in the mid 20s the UBB gets hungry and starts to eat them. I think the record was 40 for TM's topic that died due to massive spam.

I believe the Episode 3 thread also hit 40 too.

Dintiradan: love the Stargate Atlantis reference.

Ratt: I think it'll fall into the gray area between those two. They'll probably just fail to find Lazarus and Ephesos.

Well, reading between the lines, I'd say the incredible stupidity of the resolution is a guise to sneak through religious superiority of Christians. This line in particular was alarming:
quote:
(5) rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide;
It certainly would lay a bit of groundwork for such a goal.

Of course, I could be completely off the mark here, which would demonstrate how very high levels of stupidity can sometimes become contagious.

It'll be soon, probably. Arancaytar thinks he's identified what the problem is, and will fix it at some point in the future.

Unfortunately, that may end up being next weekend.

Incorporating Walkthroughs in Scenarios in Blades of Avernum
Shaper
Member # 7472
Profile Homepage #1
Huh. I was actually making something like that for my scenario. It's a Task list, which acts as a continuation of the Quest list. Basically, it displays your current main plot-related quest, and provides pointers on your current situation and what needs to be done next.

I'd say leave the walkthrough to the README, since that'd likely prove to be a strong temptation, and a player is less likely to look at it if they get briefly stuck if it involves minimizing the game, breaking out the word processor (or in a few cases, browser), and hunting down the walkthrough. If it's right there at their fingertips, they may end up using that when they get even mildly stuck. And that'll remove the sense of accomplishment a player would feel after overcoming a challenging obstacle by themselves. I'd say just have it drop a hint or make the player look at it from another perspective.

But that's just my unusually long-winded two cents, so do with that as you will.

So long as it doesn't amount to Foul Hordes version 2, then yes, I'm glad. Because it means not only will we have another scenario in our community, but it may just lead you onto bigger and better scenarios. As the wise Creator said:

Then, finally, it out there for people to play! Congratulations! You have
just released your worst scenario!

Please note that this is not an insult. Your scenario might be very good -
but even then, your next scenario will almost certainly be better.

Yes, Iffy is level 100. But if he is attacked, he will be hostile. And if he is hostile, the scenario might be impossible. So an instant death node makes sense.

Edit -Umm, I tried both and they don't work. Did I place this in wrong?

begintownscript;

variables;

short

body;

beginstate INIT_STATE;

// Setting crime low because Iffy is easily annoyed.
set_crime_tolerance(1);

if(get_crime_level(1)>0){
i=0
while(i<6){
kill_char(i,3,0);
i = i + 1
}
}
Note that copy and paste makes it a bit weird.

Wrong state. The kill node needs to be in the START_STATE, not INIT_STATE.

And also make sure to define the variable i. Otherwise, it thinks it's a mistake.

Nija - It depends on where the fire resistance comes from. If 25% fire resistance is coded into the data script for that creature, it'll always block at least 25% of incoming fire damage. Same applies to Ice, Magic, Mental, Poison/Acid, and Physical. So if one sets Magic resistance in the data script to 100%, that creature becomes completely immune to energy-based attacks, god party or not.

I hope that Ephesos's absence allows my character to gain some power. Might as well have some sort of silver lining to it.

*Thats* your silver lining?! :P

What? I would have gone for taking the crickets to myself, but since Ephesos, like the Terminator, will be back at some point, I figured I'd choose something more useful and less likely to result in retribution.

(That said, I'm a little stunned there's a full Wikipedia article dedicated to a three-word phrase from a movie.)

All of the scenarios that competed in the 1/10 and the 24 Hour contests are eligible for this one. So, actually, this might have more participants than the last one.

And it isn't all that complex. It'd work by having each judge vote for a single scenario for each category. The one with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, both or all three would get a group win.
