Hey! You, over there! Yes you, the one with the BoA Editor open! It's that time of the year again, and we really ought to have a Blades chat. With the upcoming contest deadline blowing in the wind, and various issues between the Lyceum and the Forge still being resolved, it's about time we sat everybody down for a talk. As for time, I propose this Saturday (December 29th) at 4pm EST. Thoughts? -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow. Evolve where the food ladder has rungs to be reached."

If I understand it correctly, than 4pm EST is 9pm GMT? (GMT-5:00 = EST?) If that's the case, I'll be able to join. That means that it's 10:00 pm in Holland, and therefor I'll be able to join. I assume the chatroom is 'blades"? *is happy* [ Thursday, December 27, 2007 01:09: Message edited by: Thralni ] -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

I believe Colorado is Mountain time, so it's 2 p.m. in Colorado at 4 p.m. EST. And it's an AIM chat. You invite yourself to join the chatroom "blades" (or ask a Spiderwebber to invite you, if that's too technically challenging).

Oh, ceterum censeo: Is there a reason besides tradition why we eschew the use of IRC in favor of AIM? Just a general question. It's no problem for me personally (although you'll see Arancaytar42 instead of RealArancaytar in all chats), but you would be surprised how much more convenient it is for AIM users to join an IRC network than for non-AIM users to register at AOL.

I would be very surprised. I just registered a new screen name here: https://reg.my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/registration/initRegistration.psp? lang=en&locale=us&createSn=1&sitedomain=www.aim.com&siteState=http%3A%2F%2F www.aim.com%2Fget_aim%2Fcon gratsd2.adp&seamless=n&mcAuth=%2FBcAG0d2di0AAK85Abrc9Ud2dmkIdoml3ZZvi4wAAA%3D%3D I logged out just as if I didn't have a screen name. It took about 30 seconds, you just fill out one form. Look, I'm the last person who will say AIM is better than IRC. It's not. But AIM you install, run, and it works. IRC takes more setting up. Also, AIM is very common these days, but IRC is not. And when you just want to get a high attendance, that's a problem.

IRC takes two clicks, no local installation. Or one local installation and browser at all. Take your pick. ;) -------------------- The Noble and Ancient Order of Polaris - We're Not Yet Dead.

Heh, I didn't realize there was such a usable web terminal for it -- though in retrospect it seems silly there wouldn't be.

Sigh. It looks like I'll be rather late, or miss most of the chat. My parents decided that we have to go out to a restaurant for a nice dessert, which I'm all in favor of except that they have for some reason chosen the strange time of 2:30 for it, making it unlikely that I will be back by 3, that being the time of the chat in my time-zone. We'll see. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!" Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, March 7 2005 08:00 |

And it made a great breakthrough for the BoA community. I have a log of the thing from 38 minutes after it began to right when I logged off.

A cleaned up version by Laz and myself is available below. It does a few things differently: 1) Removes obsolete/redundant variables. 2) Solves a nasty problem of mixing the identity of the NPCs. 3) Extendable to work for any number of NPC types so long as they do not have the same creature ID. 4) Transfers level, stats, and status effects allowing more dynamic NPCs if the designer wishes. Please give comments and bug fixes. I'd be surprised if it works in general. As a side note basicnpc is a bad idea with this script as it has a tendency to just return to its original editor placed position. A companion joinablenpc script should be developed. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I'm assuming the problem #2 is mixing NPC1 with NPC2? If the desinger places the same NPC in every town with the same CharID and CreatureID then it shouldn't break. Of course relying on the designer to do that is... unwise. Edit: Why is the change health statement using -1000? Wouldn't it be better to use: change_char_health(new_npc1, ( get_health(4) - get_max_health(4) ) ) [ Sunday, December 30, 2007 12:28: Message edited by: Dahak ] -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours.

That is indeed the problem. The main issue, at least when there are only 2 possible NPCs, is that if NPC4 dies NPC5 will become NPC4. I think you see where this is going... However a nice side effect of changing it the way we did is you can now have more than two possible NPCs. If you change the while loop to go up to 10 instead of 7, you can now have 5 different NPCs that can join the party. You can have as many different joinable NPCs as you want, and you don't have to worry about what order they join the party in or antyhing like that. Stareye did the health reset that way just to match the energy reset, which can only be done that way. As long as the creature doesn't have over 1000 health it functions identically. -------------------- "NOW PASS ME MY BOOTS.

I'm guessing get_spell_energy(4) - get_stat(4,36) won't work? [ Sunday, December 30, 2007 13:33: Message edited by: Dahak ] -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00 |
