You are aware that SW games were originally available only for Mac, right? Leave us be. It's not often we Mac users get privileged treatment by a software company. :P -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

There's also the fact that we're rating for the ages. When we rate scenarios 5 years hence, we'll no longer be "excited just to find a secret door", and that has to be kept in mind. Remember, the whole purpose of CSR is that a newbie can stumble across it at any time (2004, 2005, 2010...) and see an accurate assessment of what scenarios they ought to play. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Simple additive/subtractive rubrics tend to be silly when applied to scenarios which have serious flaws; you can't very well give a bad scenario 50 out of 100 just for not having any bugs, but an otherwise decent scenario so buggy as to be virtually unplayable might well justify deducting that many points. The only reasonable way to do a rubric would be to start with a perfect score and subtract a percentage of the current score for every flaw in the scenario. Even then, people will disagree as to how different parts should be weighted -- and that's as it should be.

The Empire would probably have disseminated anti-Vahnatai propaganda as soon as it was aware the Vahnatai had joined the war against the Empire. It hardly matters whether they knew about the Vahnatai's actual plans or not. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I recommend paying by international money order. You can get one at any post office, and as far as I know you only need cash (AUD should be fine, they'll do the currency conversion for you). Of course, if you do this, you'll have to order by mail. It's not so bad; you should only be kept waiting a month or so at most. Oh, and Blades of Exile would probably be the best use of your money. Enough third-party scenarios have been designed for it to keep you occupied for years.

Heh. I was wondering if anyone would make a Prisoner reference.

Unfortunately, what you describe with carrying insignia between scenarios won't work because scripts will be stripped from items upon leaving a scenario. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Can't be done in the form in which you describe it (party vs. party), but the BoA Arena (once up and running) will provide a similar BoA-based competition between players. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

The trouble is that these things don't have direct equivalents in BoA. Terrains, for example, work differently. Monsters and items have a completely different set of stats. The dialogue system works differently. And many special nodes in BoE don't have equivalents in BoA. The kind of AI you'd need to seamlessly convert a BoE scenario to a BoA scenario would be put to better use making its own, original scenarios from scratch.

I believe Mariann Krizsan once used #2, but now shares the Spidweb account. EDIT: http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=00000002 #2 is indeed Krizsan.

Well, in the broadest sense (the same sense in which you "program" a VCR), BoE scenario-making was "programming" too. But yes, you will have to deal with scripts to make a decent scenario. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

You can actually force your monitor into 256 colours manually by unchecking "only show recommended resolutions" in the Monitors panel under System Preferences. It still messes up the window backgrounds in Aqua, though. Oh, and BoE is SUPPOSED to throw up a window *asking* you to change resolution, and continue anyway if you refuse, but I don't get that window either. You may have to hold down Command or Option on loading, or failing that delete your BoE preferences. As for the time it takes for Classic to start up, yeah, that is a bit of a nuisance. But since there's really no good reason to turn modern computers off, just leave it in sleep mode overnight and you won't ever have to worry about waiting for Classic (or even OSX) to start up again.
