Yeah, but we want one for the long-term, in case spidweb happens to drop support for BoA and takes months to add new things. I think that you should accept three kinds of scripts - monster, terrain, and cool things. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Blades of Exile is the best game so far, and Blades of Avernum will be as good once it gets the number of good scenarios that BoE has acquired over seven years of designing. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Vahnatai Did Do It desperance.net - We're Everywhere The Arena - God Will Sort The Dead ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

You'd need two versions of a town alternating through variable town entry. As for the outdoor encounter rewards, if you link the script directly to the completion of the combat, then you can get the reward there. Unfortunately, that doesn't take into account whether or not your inventory is full, so Jeff prefers to have you return to the nest. I think Jeff still checks these forums occasionally, but emailing them to him is more effective.

Porting is horribly inefficient, and the time spent on porting would be better spent designing a completely new scenario. And for all you Windows users - there's no reason you can't write all of your scripts now - the scenario editor is just for towns and outdoors. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

It doesn't even need to be a monster - it could be noxious fumes coming out of vents, etc. War Blessing is a wonderful spell at any level for a singleton. It's like Divine Warrior but cheaper. And without invulnerability. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I don't think it's much of a restriction at all - plenty of scenarios are town-only, and I think it's easier to work without worrying about outdoors. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

*i, you should post your magekiller script. I've got some monster scripts I'm working on too. In that magekiller script, monsters will target characters based on spell-level, which is a more simplistic way of going about it and doesn't take much more into account, but it's still great to have. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

The BoA game docs are really not important.

1) BoA is not the only program with this problem. My suggestion is to not change the resolution. 2) Well, if he's terrified he wants to run away. And if he's not terrified, and you move him to that space because you want him to try and open the door, and the dialog box doesn't come up, would you be mad? 3) The designers can implement this if they want. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
