I'm pleased to announce a beta test for my second scenario, Blades of Rogue. As usual, I need Mac and Windows testers, so if you would like to help out, please supply your name, email address and operating system. Also, be forewarned that this scenario takes quite some time to play all of the way through for it's size. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!"

Blades of Rogue? Does that name mean what I think it does? Normally I wouldn't dream of it, but given your reputation for scripting, Niemand... -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Aran, let's not get ourselves too worked up. I only did one extra tricky thing in this scenario; the rest is fairly mundane stuff, if complicated. At any rate, I think that 5 testers ought to do it, so I've sent copies to all of you. Thanks! Also, one note I forgot to put in my email: Expect it to spew out a ton of gibberish every time you enter a new level. That's debug information that may be helpful to me if you encounter a bug. (It will not be present in the final version.) If you do encounter a bug in the level generation, it would be best if you sent me a copy of a save file in which it occurred. That way hopefully I can figure out what did it and fix it. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!" Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, March 7 2005 08:00 |

Niemand, I demand preview screenshots. This might actually get me to pull out BoA again. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

I'm getting a "stuck on 0" error whenever I'm in a certain room. I'll e-mail you the save. Edit: When I reload the save file the stuck on 0 errors go away. Anyway they were definitely there, and whenever I clicked "get items" the game would freeze until I hit escape (and no pick-up items screen would appear.) I'm sending you the file still. Edit 2: And now suddenly this is happening consistantly, and always with the same symptom-- one room where I get stuck on 0 messages, and the game temporarily freezes when I try to pick up items. Edit 3: Oh, and now my PC stats section is blank.... Which is looking eerily familiar....

Ouch. I'm looking into it. I just hope I can figure it out. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!" Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, March 7 2005 08:00 |

Another note, and I know this probably isn't something you can fix, but if you try to play another scenario after you exit this one, dialogue panes stop displaying. Period. You just get this little line right across the playing area where the top of it's supposed to be. Mind you, you can still interact with the dialogue lane, but you just can't see it. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

I'm seeing a bothersome trend here: nothing works right on Windows. Curses! -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!" Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, March 7 2005 08:00 |

Mac version works fine, but the number of zones to explore make this massive. Why do all his scenarios involve going to the bottom? Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Don't worry. The sequel to Stairway, Escalator, involves going up. And just wait until Elevator is released. I don't want to spoil it, but it's going to revolutionize the genre. -------------------- For Sale Buy Owner Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Hang on; I just discovered that it's because I'd gotten the same stuck on 0 thing too. Could it be that the game is just running out of memory? Exiting (BoA as a whole, not the scenario) and reloading seems to fix the problem. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!
