It is currently intended to be used in conjunction with TM's Artifacts Hall, so be sure to get that, too. A new version of the HLPM is coming sometime around Christmas with a few minor updates and clarifications.

By the way, I still take requests with the HLPM. The next update (which will happen whenever I get around to it, which is probably at winter break) will have an additional feature by request, and I'll update the Library and the readme. If anyone has an bright ideas about other things that ought to be included, feel free to mention them. At this point, it's likely that just about everything possible has come up and either been implemented or been ruled out as impossible, but who knows. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Hey Kel, I asked you this a long time ago, but I don't remember what you said about it. Could you split up the party so that only one or two members are taken out? Would change the Arena feature a little bit. Also, to make the God Arrows/Bolts marginally more broken, you could just make the count equal to zero. That way they'd never run out. (Yeah, I'm lame.) -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles. They do not like being provoked. -Lenar My website: Nemesis' Refuge Posts: 743 | Registered: Friday, September 29 2006 07:00 |

quote:As far as I can tell, the only command for splitting up the party splits off one member by himself. If you think it would be interesting to be able to split off a single party member by himself for a combat, I can put in that feature, too. As far as the arrows, yeah, will do. Or something to that effect. And much the same with the potions, I think. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The ability to purchase skills in the shopping area would be nice. If you have a lot of extra gold, you can make an investment in your skills, rather than lugging around a massive purse. Also, how about a God Necklace? EDIT: And a potion of Incredible Restoration, which grants +10000 HP and SP, and cures all illness.

Maybe an item-maker? Like in Terror's Martyr's scenario? As in, you go through a series of options that determine what item you get and what it does? Please? -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

quote:This is one of the least descriptive ways of referring to a scenario that I can think of. :P I'm assuming you mean Echoes: Renegade, because that's his only BoA scenario that I haven't played yet. But anyway, custom items are pretty much out. The Artifacts Hall does everything you could need with custom items. Besides, if you really want to describe the characteristics of an item and then get that item, use the scenario editor. It's really easy to create a simple item, plop it in a basic scenario (nothing more than Warrior's Grove), and then pick it up. Nemesis: No, not usually. Usually people tell me that I totally suck, and then they ask me to do something. :rolleyes: [ Tuesday, November 21, 2006 11:05: Message edited by: Kelandon ] -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

By Kel: quote:Note you could say the same thing about the HLPM itself. It's really not that hard to alter your stats with the Character Editor, and you can always make a simple scenario to increase your levels. :P If you have the time and are able to stumble across an intuitive way of creating items, I say do it. -------------------- The minute you look at a screen, you become an idiot.

quote:-X-, I think in E:R, what TM did was just design an item for each of the possible combinations, then give you the one that you described best. I'm not sure making a completely custom item module, like I think you're talking about, would even be possible for this game. But, like Kel said, making your own custom items and sticking them in a basic scenario for prompt pickup is easy enough. Just know that there are still limitations to what you can do with custom items, as far as taking them from one scenario to another. quote:<more kissuppiness> Okay then, you rock.

quote:The limitation on this is that there are no calls affecting items once the custom objects script is loaded at the very beginning of the scenario. Thus, any item that I could give in the HLPM would have to be pre-scripted. There's no way to take player input and generate a new item on the fly from it. TM must have done what Nemesis said. quote:Out of curiosity, what is yours like?

quote:It's basically a port of the homebrew HLPM I created for BoE (which no one's seen either). And no, I don't have any plans to release it, especially because it's also somewhat incomplete. My HLPM is different mostly in appearance than anything else. It's set up as a small town (I called the town "HLPM"; please excuse my unforgivable lack of imagination). There are shops where you can buy mage & priest spells; alchemy recipes and ingredients; a bunch of custom items I made and use; and various good items included in the basic set. All shops sell everything at a steep discount. Identification is either free of costs 1 gold (I forget which). Also, there are levers you can pull, which give you gold, food or skill points (I don't give away free experience). The BoE version also had a random item shop, and a person you could talk to for training. These were removed in the BoA version because I don't know how to set up random shops in BoA, and training your PCs is easier in BoA. I was also planning to give players the ability to go out of town (since you have to have an outdoor section anyway when you create the scenario) and kill stuff if they wanted. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.
