OK. I put everywhere these print_str calls, and the script seems to work fine, so I'm now going to concentrate on the situation in the editor. Any things I could look at while doing that? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

It had to do with the call set_town_visibility and the town hidden field in the town details window. After multiple checking in the editor docs, i finally day the culprit. It appeared I forgot that to hide the toen you set 1 in the town hidden field, and not 0 or -1 or whatever, and while using the call set_town_visibility its exactly the other way around: you use 1 to make it visible and 0 to make it unvisible. Its a very stupid mistake to make, and i made it once before. That's why I don't understand that i made it a second time. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Because everything that the scripts would do is hard-coded into the game. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I suppose there are good books about this, but how does that work (keep it simple, please)? There must be some sort of a script. this programming language must be written somewhere, or is it the thing with which you start the program (in windows the .exe file, the executable)? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Know I have a more urgent question. I made a script (it works fine, no problem with that), and I want to link it with a terrainscript. To do that, I use the specobj.txt terrainscript that was premade and came with the editor. Now where do I put the script itself? Do I put it in the scenario file or something, or in the town script the terrainscript sits in? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

I assume A1-3 work based on something like nodes, like BoE — except that we don't have a scenario editor for them. But if you don't use BoE, that probably means little to you. Generally, the AT games work like any other application — there's some code that gets compiled and assembled into a bunch of machine language (1's and 0's) that the computer reads and executes when you open the program. As for your other question: put specobj in your scenario's folder. Place the terrain script with the special tool for placing terrain scripts in the editor. Edit the memory cells as desired.

But where exactly do I put the scripts to which the specobj terrainscript reffers to? In the scenario .txt file, or the town .txt file, where the particular specobj.txt terainscript sits (so do I put it in the town .txt file, coresponding to the town in which I placed the specobj terrain script?) -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

You actually put the file named specobj.txt in the scenario folder. You don't put it in the town or scenario script -- terrain scripts are called separately from these. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

No, I mean the SPECIAL NODE you refer to in the memmeroy cell. Where exactly do I put that special node. Its my fault. I should have said special node, because the place of specobj.txt is obvious. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Ah. Yeah, the state that specobj calls should be a state in the town script. The comments at the top of specobj.txt mention that it's a town state.

OK, thanks thuryl. I didn't test it yet, as I'm working really hard on the scenario, and I'm almost constantly changing things. It goes quite fast at the moment. Its also nice that my scripts (in my opinion) are groing better all the time, and they tend to work in the way I want it, in most cases already the first time I test them. However, There is something I can't find in the docs (or i didn't search to well) and i wanted to ask if one of you guys can help me. I'm looking for a complete character staus list. I couldn't find. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

From the Appendices: Status Types A status is any temporary condition a character can have. Examples are blessing, invulnerability, poison, and forcecage. Each status is represented by a number. Most of the time, each status will be at 0, which means the character doesn't have it (a non-poisoned character has a poison status of 0). Statuses are changed by spells, enemy attacks, special encounters, and similar circumstances. Below is a list of all the possible statuses. Unless said otherwise, they can not be negative, and they go down by one per turn. The different statuses a character can have (and their numbers) are The complete status list: 0 - Poison. Each turn, game divides the amount of poison the character has by four (rounded up), does 1-2 points of damage that many times, and reduces the poison level by that amount. 1 - Bless/Curse. If positive, character is blessed. If negative, cursed. 2 - Shield/Weaken. If positive, character is shielded. If negative, weakened. 3 - Haste/Slow. If positive, character is hasted. If negative, slowed. 4 - Invulnerable. 5 - Magic Resistant. 6 - Webbed. 7 - Diseased. Goes down slower than 1 per turn. 8 - Charmed. 9 - Berserk. 10 - Asleep. 11 - Paralysis. 12 - Acid. Each turn, game divides the amount of acid the character has by two (rounded up), does 1-2 points of damage that many times, and reduces the acid level by that amount. 13 - Dumbfounded. 14 - Sanctuary. 15 - Martyr's Shield. 16 - Divinely Touched 17 - Resistant 18 - Confused 19 – Enlightened. This unusual status is only used for special encounters. You can have one special encounter that makes the party enlightened, and another encounter that checks to see if they still have this status to, say, open a door or use some other effect. 20 - Terrified 21 - Enfeebled 22 - Regenerating 23 - Nimble Fingers 24 - Featherfall 25 - Flying 26 - Safe Travel 27 - Hovering Feet 28 - Drunk. 29 - Force Cage. Each turn, goes down by the character’s strength, plus 1. 30 - Fleeing. Each turn, goes down by the character’s intelligence, plus 1. Status Ranges The legal range for most statuses if 0 to 250 (so it can have any value from 0, for no status, to 250, the maximum). There are some exceptions. Bless, Shield, and Haste can have a negative value, and can range from –250 to 250. Sleep, Charm, and Paralyze can be at most 10 (so a character can’t magically sleep for over 10 turns). -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I'm trying to put in a custom wall set, but i don't quit understand how to do that. Do have to define every icon, or do I have to just put it in some cmg file? Its a comnpleted wall set I got from a website called The Blazing blade. There you can find Wall sets. So what do I have to do with it exactly? Do I put it in the BoA terraingraphics .cmg file, in the BoA files folder? Or do i put it somewhere else? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

You include the entire wallset as a single resource number in the cmg file. Look at the graphics file for, say, Lord Putidus to see how custom wall and floor sets are done.

To add on to what Thuryl said: note that this requires no scripting. All you have to do is take the wallset in its entirety, save it as a graphic number (a resource in the cmg file on a Mac, G5[something].bmp on a PC), and then set it as one of the wall sheets in Town Details. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
