http://www.geocities.com/pomo_stud/alt_scenarios/Roses.html Obviously, I encourage you to play. Seeing how it's the only scenario not pre-packaged with the editor, I have a hunch that you might. ;) Note that this scenario is NOT a port from BoE- except for the outdoors, this scenario was re-built from the ground up, including most of the plot. People who have played the BoE version will notice many similarities, but also many more differences. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Hey TM, ever thought about hosting your scenario somewhere where geocities won't bug you about bandwidth limits? EDIT: NM, it's working now... [ Wednesday, April 07, 2004 14:49: Message edited by: Fresh ] -------------------- Austrian Alex Posts: 1307 | Registered: Tuesday, May 7 2002 07:00 |

There's no parodying a man who's already doing a cameo in RoR as . . . well, you'll have to play it! Let's just say that certain BoA design features cater a little too well to TM's inclinations. [The Creator better be seeing something from those engrish dudes' T-Shirt sales, by the way.] -------------------- Forgive them, for they are young and rich and white.

Wow, Creator- Thanks for letting me know what the "TM" in "TM Revolution" stands for. Believe it or not, I've listened to Takanori before- although only one song, Heart of Sword ~Before Dawn~, third ending theme to Rurouni Kenshin. (What can I say? I'm an otaku.) Anyway, BoA is fairly good. I might just end up using it instead of BoE entirely, even if I support the actual purchasing of BoE. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I have it on highest authority that the scenario contains gambling, and I have witnessed firsthand the inclusion of more than one BoE scenario. You'd better believe it. —Alorael, who has never seen a third party BoA scenario that can match RoR for deep, intricate plot, dazzling combat, and brilliant technical innovation. It's true in a perfectly literal sense! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I've started but not finished this scenario. First of all congratulations on the first 3rd party BOA scenario. Second of all I've got error messages that the script guard was not found. As its a default script I was surprised, but able to fix it by copying the script from blades of avernum files folder. Posts: 61 | Registered: Saturday, November 3 2001 08:00 |

Congrats to TM for being the first! It only seems appropriate. Does anyone know who released the first third-party BoE scenario, by the way?

I just played through it, and it was very good fun. However, I also received a few error messages, and I was unable to view either Hana's graphic or the graphic for the roses. Error messages regarding guards that failed to load came up at several points as well when entering Ashton. Other than those few bugs, though, it was very nice stuff. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

Stug? Did you read the readme? You have to un-stuff the graphics. The errors you received most likely had to do with the slew of custom dialogue pics I loaded not working. I thought that I made sure to say in ALL CAPS to UNSTUFF THE GRAPHICS OR ELSE!!!, but you can't expect players to be responsible. *sigh* EDIT: Okay, screw it. Despite the fact that making the file a stuffit increases its size by a whole megabyte, I'm stuffing the whole thing so the precious graphics won't be screwed with. Bah.

quote:Yep, my fault. I did scan over the Readme, but for some reason I missed that part of it. But yeah, after unstuffing the file and re-entering the scenario, I'm able to view the image in the opening sequence, as well as the graphics for the roses and Hana. I'm still receiving errors in loading guards, but other than that and a couple of spelling errors/typos, everything's fine. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

Okay..I am going to get really annoyed if it becomes common for people to release scenarios with IRL pictures in. The reason I play BoA is because there aren't any human voices or IRL pictures in it. -------------------- Apparently still annoying. Posts: 612 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |

I got it just fine from the site. Don't know why. *shrug* EDIT: quote:Do these still exist somewhere? I can find no trace of them on SW's web site, the Lyceum, Alexandria, or Luz's site. EDIT 2: Nor on Caligula's site. I found a trace of Island Visitors on Zaloopa's site (you can rate it), but not the game itself.

Maybe we can just say that since Riddle of the Spheres was the first scenario worth playing, it was the first scenario. ;) -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Well, according to the Spidweb scenario tables, the first 3rd party scenario released (that survived to First Efforts) was Castle Perilous (4/10/98). The first 3rd party scenario to make Solid was Magnificent Six (4/20/98). Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I also got the error message about the guards after resting in the inn to finish the quest. I would also suggest adding some piercing crystals as I was only able to find one dispel barrier scroll. On another note the game did not take away some of my roses despite them having custom graphics, when I started a new scenerio I still had them! But they did not have any graphics.
