Even if I only listed the historically significant ones, the poll would be huge. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Changes for Better or Worse? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, March 13 2006 19:02 Profile Homepage #24 I believe the amount of CPU time required to run a pathfinding algorithm increases exponentially with the length of the path. So, until computers get hundreds of times faster than they are today, the answer is "not really". EDIT: I checked, and apparently time to find a solution only increases polynomially, not exponentially. That's not as bad, but it still means that longer paths are a lot more difficult to work out.

Yay, a Website! in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, March 13 2006 18:59 Profile Homepage #28 Unfortunately, PNG isn't necessarily free of patented algorithms either. It's free of known patented algorithms, but it's amazing what you can find a patent on once there's a financial incentive to do so. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Formello Bug? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, March 13 2006 18:48 Profile Homepage #2 I just went into Formello and checked, and whatever that thing up against the back wall of the smithy is, it's not a staircase -- it doesn't have the same graphic on the automap as a staircase, and the little bit of it you can see on the main screen doesn't look like part of a staircase either. In fact, I think it's a pool of water. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, March 13 2006 18:45 Profile Homepage #22 The limitation on how far you can walk in one click is a technical one, I think; the pathfinding algorithm breaks down if you try to go too far.

GF3 town background sound effects in Geneforge Series

Someone (a female that sounds just like my mother I might add!) says "let's eat later" in Italian or could be Portuguese since the language is simular. I know it's a loop of sounds, tinkering,etc. & I know it's not intentional to the game. I was just wondering what the sound effect was comprised of. It's definetely not jiberish! Oh, please.

stuck at Basalt Fortress in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, March 12 2006 02:05 Profile Homepage #1 There's a lever in the downstairs area, near the room with the altar. It opens a gate that lets you get through to Rentar. It can be hard to see; turning up the brightness on your monitor helps. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
