A4 wants in The Avernum Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, April 21 2005 17:47 Profile Homepage #88 Honestly, if that's all you want, you can probably find yourself a half-decent hooker for as much as A4 would cost you. We've already got someone pissing up BoA with bad soft porn; no need for A4 to go the same way.

Just as we have guard dogs the Shapers have pylons. I have not see a reference to the more simplistic creations having consciousness. I do remember reading somewhere that the spore boxes have feeling, or at least they are aware of being touched. If you try to talk to a turret in GF1 (a non-hostile one, obviously), you get the message "It's basically just a big fungus. It can't talk to you." Since they're apparently plant-based, their awareness of their surroundings is probably very primitive. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Anyone would turn it on in a dump scenario, and then go into another--no walls, no secrets. lol More of a cheat, sure, but it is still a bug :rolleyes: . Considering that it's trivial to open up the scenario script and enable debug mode, having another way to do an aspect of that isn't a huge issue. And it'd be pretty uncommon for a player to trigger this bug accidentally as you did. Still, it is of course a bug and should be fixed. EDIT: Hmm. As a workaround to prevent this bug being triggered accidentally in your scenarios, you could always put a set_total_visibility(0) call in the LOAD_SCEN_STATE.

The idea that things don't come to be for no reason is something we have learned from experience. If our experience is fabricated, we have no grounds to say that the universe can't have just popped into existence a moment ago with all our memories intact. Of course, this is one of those things that'd be disastrous beyond our ability to do anything about it if it were true, so it's best not to worry about it too much. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!
