Well, the short answer is "no". There's a way to bring about the same effect, though. Make the new town you want to replace the old town with, import it over the old one using the Import Town feature, and then delete the duplicate. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Were should I make the message when a scenario starts, to say were exactly you are and what is happening? i don't mean the introductury text. What I mean is the moment the scenario starts, but ONLY when you begin it, and not every time you come to the place were you begun. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

There are a couple of ways to handle that, but the simplest way is to put it in the START_SCEN_STATE of your scenario script. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

That's what I thought too, but as I didn't find it in the scenario script of the valley of dying things, i thought I maybe was mistaken.

I've reached a point in the making of my scenario, were I lack ideas for quests. So what I wanted to ask: Does anybody have an idea for a quest? If yes, I'm really curious to know what. I know making a scenario should be of the makers fantasy, but I really don't know what to do. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Think about scenarios you like and the kind of quests they used, or even the quests from the trilogy and modify them to fit your story. Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

Or relate it to the main story line. Is there anything that's needed: an information that is hard to come by, keys that noone knows where to find, things like that. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

What qualities would one need to be 'the chosen ones'? What is the old man looking for or tries to find out about you? Choose a quest that will test those qualities. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

the things the old man wants to know, aren't really qualities as in avernum 2. that's were the problem actually plays a big role. he wants to know if you can be trusted with the information. i thought the best way to test this, maybe is to bring him something valuable or something like that. i can't come up with something better at the moment. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

So the question is: will they use or abuse what they are given? Maybe he could offer them something of lesser value and then wait and observe their actions. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

maybe these are lame questions, but i wonder about them anyway. 1) did somebody make himself, or does somebody know ere i can find a good working script for teleporting aparty to an other town? And i mean not only teleporting them, but also that there is a flash and sound. i made one myself, but i'd like to see somebody else's. If somebody posts the one he made himself, may I use it? 2) This is a really stupid question, but are the tabs you make in the script really necesarry? i have the feeling I'm doing it all wrong. one tab to much there, one to less there. So is it really necesarry for the computer to understand it? That was all. I'm going on the 8th of july to the US for three weeks, so I really appreciate it if you you can post quickly. Thanks in advance. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

1) I'd do something like this, although I haven't tested it to see if it looks right: 2. No. Proper spacing and tabs are just to make the script readable. They have no effect. Well, little effect: you need some white space between calls, but it could be spaces, tabs, or retuns, and the sort of formatting you're talking about doesn't matter.

First of all, thanks for responding so quickly. second, thanks for showing me the code. so there is now need in letting the game check if there are four characters. thanks. The teleport part call should be in a place where the party normally can't get right? like solid stone or something, behind a wall? if yes, does it matter if its out of town boundries? (because what space alse there is to be chosen from in a cave?)

What I would do: This creates a one-by-one teleportation effect. If the boom doesn't play the right sound, you can add a play sound call. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Thanks very much, i'll think about which works out best for me. While getting these replies, i was busy creating a cutscene. It worked fine, thanks to kelandon's turorial (thanks Keladon! :D ). What i didn't get though, was the { and } sings. i saw in the VoDT in t1sweetgrove.txt, that they should be put, but were do i put them? I know { goes at the beginning and } at the end, but at an empty space, or after a call, ar maybe in front of a call, i don't know. (Everyone who has an idea for the previous question may still post if he wants!) EDIT: now I look at Drakefyre's way of doing the teleportation, I have the feeling my own way wasn't as bad as I thought it was... Well, I'll stille use one of the two already posted. EDIT 2: There was an other thing I wanted to ask, but i forgot. That making new creature calls stuff, in a cutscene. i want to get this straight. i started with this call: i = 29;//29 is the highest char number in the town while (char_ok(i)) {i = i + 1 } After this the creature is created: put_straight_zap(56,42,9,38,4); put_boom_on_space(9,38,2,0); place_monster(9,38,138,0); set_character_facing(i,4); set_character_pose(i,0); run_animation_sound(54); force_instant_terrain_redraw(); Is made here right, or do i have to change it in some places. I made while using kelamdon's cutscene tutorial.

Since the spacing/tabbing was mentioned… My scripts will not work if I use tabs. I get "invalid symbol in line X". If I take out the tabs everything works fine. Leaving lines separating each call, but having everything touching the left margin works as it's supposed to. Existing scripts work with the spaces/tabs, but my scripts will not allow it. Any thoughts why this may be? I'm using Simpletext, if that has something to do with it.

Dolphin - I'd imagine it is an issue with SimpleText and tabbing, and I'd try to download BBEdit Lite and see if that helps. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

since I haven't left yet, this is my advice. Since you said you use simpletext, you use Mac. Am I right? Of course. there is no simpletext for Windows. I stopt using simpletext because I found tabs not very clear. I'm now using BBEdit. There is a free version: version 6.1.2. I highly recommend this program over simpletext. Click on the link below, And on the left side somewhere of the screen that will hopefully pop up, You'll see an option to download. try, it. its free! (and don't forget to fill this topic up while I'm not here! :) :D :) See you guys!) Macupdate: BBEdit lite 6.1.2 EDIT: I see Drakey got in before me. Well, doesn't matter.
