However, I found two errors which are not system quirks, but rather bonafide errors in the porter. 1) SDF checks that include "if less than (a non-negative-one number), go to -1" are not ported correctly. This is a very valid node in BoE, and it corresponds to "if less than (number), break" in BoA -- and it should be ported that way, rather than completely ignoring that part of the check. 2) Two towns with the same name (and same size?) cause the porter to flip out and create two copies of the first town instead, overwriting the second. THIS is a rather glaring error, and one which is causing a darn good bit of extra work. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00

Still, all you got to do is to change the town-script, and fix up personalities and such. Special encounters of all sorts you would have had to fix in any case, so meh, I don't count that. :P -------------------- The Great Mister kommari@gmail.com[/url] Posts: 417 | Registered: Sunday, June 27 2004 07:00

I think I can demolish a building, so I don't have to choke you over it. [ Saturday, July 24, 2004 07:38: Message edited by: Imban ] Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00
