BoA Player FAQ

Author	Topic: BoA Player FAQ
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, January 27 2005 18:36 Profile Homepage #0 Because I get kind of tired of answering the same questions over and over again, and I'm sure others do too, I wrote a BoA Players' FAQ. Feel free to link to it in answer to any of the questions that are posted there. Also, I'm willing to add answers to other frequently asked questions. Additionally, I have a BoA Designers' FAQ, too. These are probably even more common questions and probably even more annoying.

It probably belongs in the forum header in big bold lettering. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, January 27 2005 20:39 Profile Homepage #3 Ah, good idea. Should there also be a general guide on eg. party building or gameplay, or does that belong in a different FAQ? -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Thursday, January 27 2005 20:54 Profile #4 If you mean questions like: Singleton or party? Bows or Thrown? How do I get and über powerful kiss ass party? Then yes. Edit: Kick, not kiss. Also, for the designer FAQ: Q: Can I add a custom scenario icon. A: No, you cannot add custom scenario icons. Q: How do I make good towns/outdoors? A: Practice and plan ahead. [ Friday, January 28, 2005 22:48: Message edited by: Dahak ] -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, January 27 2005 21:04 Profile Homepage #5 Special skills added. I have homework to do now, but feel free to suggest whatever you like and I'll look over the suggestions later and add them as needed. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Member # 869	written Thursday, January 27 2005 21:46 Profile Homepage #6 In the special skills FAQ, the description of the Magical Efficiency skill includes an Õ instead of an apostrophe. I wouldn't mention it, except that similar things were reported in Bahss.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, January 27 2005 22:02 Profile Homepage #7 Same cause. I copied and pasted that description out of ResEdit strings in the BoA app itself into a post on these boards, and then copied and pasted from these boards into a text document. It became a "smart" quote somewhere along the line, which apparently both web browsers and BoA can't handle. It's fixed, anyway. EDIT: By all means, if you find typos anywhere in the site, let me know.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, January 27 2005 22:23 Profile Homepage #8 It's probably to do with the text editor you're using. If it's BBEdit Lite, look under Editor Defaults in Preferences to turn off smart quotes.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, January 28 2005 19:19 Profile Homepage #9 I already turned off smart quotes, but the problem is that BBEdit Lite doesn't automatically convert smart quotes back into normal quotes when I'm pasting from something else, like Word (for Bahssikava) or Safari (for the FAQ). I added that BoE scenarios don't work on BoA. I feel that Dahak's additions belong in a different place (the articles, probably). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
