The Reanimation in General

Ten or twenty thousand dollars set aside as a nest egg wouldn't add much to the overall cost. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Combat in Canopy Poll in Blades of Avernum

Member # 869	written Saturday, May 14 2005 15:05 Profile Homepage #37 Oh, I don't begrudge the use of god parties for testing purposes, but level-100 monsters won't stand up to a real god party anyway. What annoys me is players who insist on using a party that's already been through every other scenario under the sun and then complain about the combat being too easy. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, May 14 2005 15:01 Profile Homepage #29 Creating a self-duplicating terrain, even in the general case, isn't too hard. You'll need to give the terrain a default script if you want every instance of it to replicate. When the party searches the terrain, use my_loc_x() and my_loc_y() to find out where the terrain the party is messing around with is located, then put another terrain of its type in an empty space next to it. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Then again, the sort of players who bring a god party into every scenario they play probably deserve to be hit with a blunt instrument. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

special skills (in case you were wondering...) in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, May 14 2005 14:21 Profile Homepage #31 quote: Originally written by Duke of Toast: I think your bought skills do not count towards getting special skills. You have to increase your base skills to get certain skills. For example if you have the bonus dexterity from being a Nephilim it will not count towards getting Sharpshooter for example. I think you've confused yourself a little on the terminology, Toast. "Bought" skill levels are the ones you buy with skill points or from trainers. "Base" is everything else, including item bonuses, racial bonuses and so on (although it now seems that different kinds of base actually work in slightly different ways).

Back to BOA is there a code to set so when you use something it makes a copy of that object or item ? what i want is this i want it so that when you walk up to and select the item and choose to use it i want it so that when you use it it makes a copy of itself is there a way to do that ? If you want an item that makes copies of itself, that's fairly easy. Just make an item (either unlimited charges or usable once per day) that calls a script that gives you an item (through a call such as give_char_item) of the same type as itself. If you want an item that makes copies of other items, I'm afraid that can't really be done. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Progressing as an Agent in Geneforge Series
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, May 14 2005 01:47 Profile Homepage #1 Yeah, Agents can be a little tough early on. On the higher difficulty levels, getting into a situation where you're actually being attacked is pretty much a death sentence. Run and hide around corners where you can, always attacking from the very edge of your spell range (if you have a way to haste yourself, that helps). For those situations where you have no choice but to stare your opponents down, it might be worth putting one level (and only one level) into a shaping skill so as to have a source of meatshields. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Tips for a newbie? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, May 13 2005 03:56 Profile Homepage #4 I find that reading scripts from other people's scenarios and seeing how what goes on in the scenario corresponds to what's written in the script was the best way to familiarise myself with the scripting system. Before I'd written a line of code for my own scenario, I hung around the BoA forum for several months looking at common things that were going wrong with other people's scripts and how they fixed them, and I betatested two scenarios (both of which I fairly thoroughly poked around in the scripts of.)

advice for shaper progression in Geneforge Series
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, May 13 2005 02:21 Profile Homepage #1 It's best to concentrate mainly on one or two types of shaping skill, although there's nothing wrong with putting a couple of points into all of them. Focusing on Fire Shaping early on and Magic Shaping toward the endgame works fairly well. Don't invest too heavily in Battle Magic; you're not likely to ever be great magically-speaking, especially with creations limiting your essence supply, so you'll get more bang for your buck out of some Blessing Magic to help your creations along. If you really want to pump a lot of skill points into magic, you'll probably have to focus mostly on one type of shaping to save skill points -- something has to give somewhere. Armed combat skills aren't much use for a shaper, although missile weapons are feasible if you really want to send a few points that way. You'll need lots of points in Intelligence for essence; you can afford to neglect the other primary stats, since your creations should be doing most of the fighting for you anyway. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
