No. We are in a fort called "Fort Filbert", somewhere in the Riverrod province. Its just that I'm very bad in Thinking of good names. I could however try to make it a grandson, of the the fort Duvno Johnson...

Its a long time ago I posted a problem. To make that period a little smaller, I'll post a problem now.

I want to replace a town with an other town. Now how exactly should I do that? Now just whipe the town of the outdoors, so you can't enetr it any longer, but replace it. Is there a certain call I need to use?

Specifically, you want to use VTE in the Scenario menu, and you want to set a particular flag to the difference between the town numbers (so if your first town was town number 5 and your replacement was town number 11, you want to set a flag to 6. Specify the coordinates of that flag (and the first town number) in the VTE in the Scen menu.

What I understand from this, is that the flag counts the number 6 up, by number 5, as to get 11. Am I right?

It was a long time since I had a question, but I came up with one, so now wrorries!

Ugh :P I'll never say that again.

When you make a space blocked, what does that mean for the party? I saw several times that you could just walk over blocked spaces. How can that be? Is it only a limitation for the AI monsters?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but making a space blocked just keeps the party from being placed there (which effectively counters the "fight, end combat" method of avoiding encounters/traps). Enemies won't walk there, and nothing can be summoned onto that square.

Of course, it's completely different if you're using block_entry().

Okay, there are several things we're talking about here. As far as I know, the call change_blocked, the floor definition fl_blocked, and the Place Blocked Space tool all do the same thing: they make the space impossible for monsters to step on and prevent the party from being placed on the space when ending combat (or when using move_to_new_town or whatever).

The call block_entry, on the other hand, prevent the party from stepping on a space and nothing else.

(This is much the same as what Ephesos just said, but it's more detailed for clarification.)

So all that the option block space in the editor does, is to make it impossible for monsters to pas that blocked space? if so, then I understand what's going on here.

It does that, and also it prevents the party from being placed there when ending combat or coming in via a move_to_new_town or anything like that.

I want to have a scenario which offers everything that a normal, even bad scenario has. What I mean now, is the services, like healers. How the hell do I make a healer? I looked in the documantation, and didn't find anything that could help me with this. Does anybody know what to do?

Healers are the same as specialized stores.

How odd. A quick search of the docs seems to suggest that there is no direct way to make an A1-style healer. I checked VoDT, which has a healer in Sweetgrove, and this is how Jeff does it (dialog removed to prevent stretching):

begintalknode 51;
state = 42;
personality = 24;
nextstate = -1;
condition = 1;
question = "I require the services of a healer. (Pay 150 Coins)";
text1 = "*no money*";
text3 = "*changed mind*";
text5 = "*heals*";
code =
clear_strings();
if (coins_amount() < 150)
add_string(1);
else if (run_select_a_pc(1) == 0)
add_string(3);
else {
play_sound(24);
add_string(5);
restore_pc(get_selected_pc());
change_coins(-150);
}
break;
It appears that anything more complicated than that must be scripted directly.

This time I'm trying to make outdoor encounters with friendly guards. The point is that they don't attack you. Now how exactly do I do that? Its probably somethign that I missed in the docs, cause I really couldn't find it.

Thanks.

Use something like this:
beginstate 14; //upon meeting a group of soldiers along the road
message_dialog("This group of soldiers greets you as you
pass each other on the road. They warn you that it's dangerous
traveling at night.","As they leave, you catch a look
at their equipment. It's woefully inadequate for anything
more than causing a diversion to alert the town.");
outdoor_enc_result(1);
break;
Call this state when the outdoor encounter reaches the party.

Thralni have you checked out Erik's Cookbook at all?

http://dnet.com/erik/BoA/cookbook/index.html

If not it should help explain most of the simpler Blades functions.

Also make sure the encounter is an Outdoor Preset Encounter and the "party can't evade" box is clicked.

I have Erik's cookcoob, but I always seem to forget I have it! Thanks for pointing that out to me, and Drakefyre, thanks for your help too.

BTW, Drakefyre, how are you getting on with the material I sent you? ;)

That is what I already thought. Don't worry, take your time. Send it when you're finished. I myself am also rather busy, so I also wouldn't have much time.
