Jeff does the coding of the engines, and I'd imagine lays out what he wants done (paint the outdoors like this ...), and Mariann and Linda will do that, take orders for games, etc.

Andrew Hunter does most of the graphics work - Phil Foglio never did more than the multi-tabbed skills screen graphics.

It's Krizsan. And I'm not sure that Lucky Charms in Exile actually increase your Luck.

If you think that the few bugs that sneak into the final version are annoying, then beta-testing is not for you. The jump from the first beta to the final version is pretty astounding.

The problem I see with this is that I'm not sure that the effects will go simultaneously - I think that they'll go one-by-one, and it will look a little silly.

With mine, if the view changes strangely (ie BoA follows the character that's relocated), I'd change it to this:
short i;
i = 0;
while (i < party_size())
{
if (char_ok(i)) {
put_boom_on_char(i,2,short random_shift);
relocate_character(i,short x,short y); } //make this off-screen
i = i + 1;
}
move_to_new_town(town,x2,y2);
I'm sure Kelandon could tell you better if a forced terrain redraw is needed, or whether or not the forced view should occur at some other point in the code. He's more experienced with cutscenes than I am.

It appears that he posted on Desperance well after the bombs went off.

Yes, and I talked to him on AIM yesterday as well.

In Madrid, a lot of people suspected Basque separatists, but they rarely attack civilian targets.

A danger in the world today is rising religious fundamentalism, regardless of the actual religion.

A whole lot was changed. The bold part was added, the descriptions at the top were reworded and reordered, and my email was changed, which was the original purpose of editing it. I also managed to bump it over the GF3 announcement by posting and then deleting my post.

Place the file in the Scripts folder. It would be wise to remove the original z0entrydlg.txt file and place it in a safe place.

When a dialogue script loads with errors, nobody in the town will be able to talk, no dialog box messages will go off, no signs will work, etc.

Dolphin - I'd imagine it is an issue with SimpleText and tabbing, and I'd try to download BBEdit Lite and see if that helps.
