Actually, that's a good idea. A curse basically has no effect on an item that you can't equip anyway, and it seems to prevent the item from being identified more reliably than anything else I know of. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Remember, the scenario editor is open source. Since Jeff can't/won't write an algorithm to encrypt scenarios, it would be absolutely trivial to make a hacked version of the scenario editor that doesn't ask for the password. In short, it's impossible and it'd be a bad idea anyway. Information wants to be free. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I really don't understand why people always complain about Nethergate being too short. If you play as both sides and do all the sidequests, there's at least a solid couple of weeks of gameplay in it. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Conflagration costs less SP and works just as well, if you don't mind getting a little burned. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

It shouldn't be hard. Haste and bless your fighters heavily; hopefully they can kill off each of the golems in 1 round as they awaken. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

That wouldn't pick up items the party might have brought in from other scenarios, and anyway it'd almost certainly exceed the script length limit. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

You're going to have to give us more information than that. What happens when you test your scenario in BoA and try to talk to someone? Do you get any errors? What do the dialogue scripts you've written look like? [ Thursday, August 26, 2004 02:51: Message edited by: The Hexamethonium Man ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I don't think it's the noise that makes a club make your ears ring. I think it's the head injuries. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

You probably got into this thread from a link containing a post number reference. Enter it from the topic listing on the General forum like a normal person and everything should be fine. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

The difficulty of identifying an item seems to be based on its value, or possibly some kind of value-to-weight ratio. Make it more valuable and it'll be harder to identify. You could also try making it lighter and see if that helps; I have a strong suspicion it at least has some effect. You can't make an item unidentifiable, though. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

It's meant to go in the town the trapdoor is in. Did you get any errors when you tried stepping into the rectangle with the script on it? That might help us track down your problem. By the way, you, uh, did separate all those lines by line breaks in the actual script, I hope?

This is a freaking message board, not a chatroom. It can take a few hours to get a response. Anyway, to answer your question, delete your preferences. If this means your game becomes unregistered, tough luck. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

My advice is to focus on characters. Compile a list of the major character roles you'll need in the scenario (the party's superiors, the major villains, and any other major NPCs), and create personalities and histories to fit each role. Think about each character's goals and motives. As the party is doing its thing, all the other characters will be doing their own thing as well; some to assist the party, some to oppose it, and some simply to further their own goals without regard to the effect on the party's mission. Given their personalities and abilities, what will each of these characters do and how? How will they react to the party's actions, and how will they react to each other's actions? Might some be able to form alliances toward a common goal? Might others, supposedly working for the same side, compete against each other anyway? What will other characters think of these interactions if and when they know about them? For example, given what you've established about the antagonist's personality, if his two lieutenants both want to take personal credit for stopping the party, will he demote one of them to prevent him sabotaging the other's plans or simply let them compete in the hope that they'll spur each other on to greater efforts? Or just make a short scenario. It's not the end of the world if you end up making a scenario with only 5 indoor sections, and you're more likely to get it finished. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
