Turning BoE scenarios into BoA scenarios in Blades of Avernum
Triad Mage

I'll do my best to answer for you, JC.

quote:
Originally written by Lkae:

I've heard that you can port scenarios from BoE to BoA. How does this work and how does it cope with complex series of coding?

I'm not exactly sure how it will work, but it seems to be able to assign most node sequences to scripts.

Will I be able to link towns like I did in aGS?

Yes

How much vertical variation can I have in a town?

Monsters and terrain can be 1x2 - that's it. I know it's not what you'd hoped.

In BoE you can have only 256 different terrain types (and over third of that is autoterrain or has features that can't be changed). What are the Terrain limitations in BoA?

IIRC, it's 256 floors and 512 of everything else, for a total of 768 slots.

I've been looking at how I can convert some of the custom graphics, like the redstone walls, into BoA graphics but I am a wee bit worried about some of the custom creatures. Namely the giantesses. I was looking at the Louvre's how to pages and I was worried by what I read about giants. "A giant is a creature that cannot join your party. You cannot interact with giants." Does this mean the party will not be able to talk to the giants?

Since the party can talk with 1x2 dragons, they will be able to talk with giants.

Soruharva was used by the mages, IIRC.

It's nice to see you again, Scales. Does this mean that you're out of college (or finished undergrad)?

Stughalf and Morgan, this is your final warning. Harassment and provocation are not good things, and if I see it again, you're going to be gone for at least a week.

While Lena was arguing with the two officers, Lt. Abdulhadi was listening and chuckling. He eventually gave in and burst out laughing. When all three looked over in his direction, he grinned broadly and exclaimed, "She's got you beat there, boys. Seems like you'd be better off letting her handle these recruits."

"What do you know, old man? I've served Dvesti for fifteen years, and we've never lost a war."

"You've never been in a real war. I've been a platoon commander for 30 years and I've seen the worst. The girl's got a point, and you're all fools for not listening. Damned General Azzahr. We wouldn't be having this discussion if General Hadji had still been in charge."

Lena smiled sweetly at Abdulhadi and smirked at the officers. "It seems like I'm not the only one who knows what war is about."

Lieutenant Abdulhadi sat at the table, his long, droopy mustache floating in his beer. The years had been hard on him, and while he was a good soldier he never had the necessary people skills to command more than a platoon and he didn't have the book smarts to be promoted to an office job. He lived and breathed the trenches and the sulfurous air was doing nothing to keep him going for much longer.

Abdulhadi looked up disinterestedly when a young captain rushed into the bar, shouting about something or other. He had tried not to resent the younger men who passed through the ranks quickly, and he now realized that he would never advance beyond lieutenant. He was too dangerous to the new commanders of the military, but he was too well respected to be fired, so they kept him around for his experience and his tactical knowledge. He had resisted the switch to bigger guns and grenades, but he still knew how to use them effectively.

Abdulhdai shifted in his seat, fingering his old pistol; its mahogany frame felt cool in his hand. His other hand moved to his belt knife, which he could use to some degree of aptitude. He was a survivor, and a good one at that, but he could never deliver the spectacular results that other single men were capable of. His daughter, Marisa, gave him something to live for, and he could never go all-out anymore without thinking of Marisa, and how she would go on without him. Still, his platoons were always willing to go to Hell and back for him, and his brash manner inspired trust and camaraderie.

(OOC: But nobody else knows most of this. They all know him as an older, stubborn lieutenant - a remnant of a past authority.)

1) Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka.

2) David, Ignition is a great song. I'd have to say most techno.

3) That movie with Josh Hartnett and giving up sex for Lent.

Everyone has to try a cherimoya. It's not a melon, but it's an exotic fruit that's incredibly good.
