Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, September 17 2004 19:16 Profile Homepage #334 If your plot is getting in the way of your message, and you consider your message to be paramount, then rethink your plot. Anyway, the characters giving out messages don't have to be the same ones driving the plot. Why not have an innkeeper or priest share his opinions of recent goings-on with Hito? Townspeople don't just have to be there for atmosphere. [ Friday, September 17, 2004 21:01: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Requests for BoA Scenario Format 3 in Blades of Avernum Editor

Member # 869	written Friday, September 17 2004 18:18 Profile Homepage #83 Oh, Smirf, I didn't want actual player-controlled joinable party members -- that would be nice but definitely isn't going to happen. I just want creature scripts to not be broken for NPCs that join the party.

The metaphysics of Corp, for example, are explained when Scilt reaches his Nihilistic conclusion. In NTH, Hito learns nothing until he dies. Consider making better use of NPCs as foils -- not just to knock down the messages you want to oppose, but to explain the ones you want to support. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Of course, you can try to beat one copy and get the Xian Imperial Robes, but you'll probably regret it when all the other Prazac clones start fighting over the throne. You'll need to do so if you want to become Emperor, though. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Oh, you mean for the editor. Hmm. The only thing that comes to mind is better AI for NPCs that actually join the party. At the moment, an NPC's script doesn't seem to affect its behaviour once it's joined the party. Of course you can work around this by having the NPC follow you using scripts instead of joining the party, but that means PCs can't cast spells on the NPC.

How Low Can You Go? Yet another 'I'm Back' topic... in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, September 16 2004 23:11 Profile Homepage #65 FP, bartering and haggling aren't even close to the same thing. Australian money is made of plastic. This makes it very durable, very hard to counterfeit and very expensive to produce (but worth it in the long run; I don't have the figures, but I think the notes cost about 3 times more and last about 5 times longer than paper money would.) -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Trouble with Geneforge in Tech Support
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, September 16 2004 23:01 Profile Homepage #3 Is your computer a laptop, by any chance? The sound you describe might be the fan spinning in response to increased CPU use. Turn your power down or play Geneforge in a colder room. In theory, it could be the fan even if it's a desktop, but that's less likely.

I don't suppose that that level of cooperation can be reached though :( These have been tried before in BoE. They end badly. The one insurmountable difficulty with them is that if even one person drops out of the project then the whole scenario tends to go down the gurgler. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
