  1. I remember, once upon a time, long ago, I tried to make one of those MUD dealies based on the Avernum/Exile games. That sort of thing is pretty damn hard to do, so I just got angry and gave up and went off to throw rocks at trees. Perhaps someday...
  2. Quote: Originally written by The Almighty Doer of Stuff: Quote: Originally written by Kaos: Blade, Harlequin, Kaos, Crisis Inspiration has struck me. When I start playing BoA (after I've caught on BoE scenarios), I may create a party and name the characters Goatse, Tubgirl, Lemonparty, and Harlequin Fetus. Or maybe not. But it's an idea. EDIT: If you don't know what those are, don't go looking for them. Just trust me on this one. You, friend, have allied yourself with the forces of madness and chaos. You name your party members after modern perverse horrors and insane birth defects. Your enemies must literally shudder when they hear the names of your adventurers.
  3. Male characters: Captain Uglyhead (of course) Colonel/General Mustard Durandal Randalf (usually for a mage character, Haw) Atticus Female Characters: Angela D'eath (Haw Haw) Shodan Akila Sargeant Jackrum Titania Other: Toastmaster Housemaster Blinky Pip Actually I usually use this set of names for any game in which I get to name my characters/ships/etc.
  4. Entering a dungeon and just running in and fighting the enemies right away can get a tad boring at times, and you can only use the old "guess the password" or "find the key" gimmicks so often. Here I intend that we share ideas for interesting security mechanisms that more intelligent enemies might have placed in their lairs and dungeons. I'll start off; This one is awfully simple, really. In a special pop-up decision-box dealie(like what happens when you walk up to a turnable wheel that opens gates, you get a choice between turning it and leaving it alone.) should pop up when you enter the room that has the control levers in it. Your Brave Adventurers would have to choose the correct sequence to pull the levers(or other things) from choices presented in the choice-box. It would probably be best that you give the player fair warning that a trap could be sprung on them if they choose the wrong sequence, like saying "There are suspicious little holes in the floor here" (the old spike shooting-up trap). It would be good if there were some way to find the proper sequence, as well, like how you can find maps and passwords and things off of people in some of the Avernum games. If they choose the wrong sequence anyway, you get to describe their grisly death by the trap, or you could simply have a bunch of enemies waltz in and attack, if you want to give the player a chance to escape. It's the sort of thing you COULD get right after a few reloads, so I guess it's not very good, but I'm sure that you all can think of better ones.
  5. Would there be any way to tie one monster's effectiveness to another monster? Say you've got this huge, beefed-up magical bodyguard critter that protects a physically frail spellcaster. Would there be any way to suddenly cripple such bodyguard creature(s) if the spellcaster is killed before they are? (the spellcaster is the source of their power- would be explained in plot/dialogue)
  6. The editor is a great huge thingamajig, made to be used to create whole scenarios. It's likely fairly large, and complicated, and DL'ing it would probably take a painful long time, and hosting such a thing to be downloaded would likely eat up lots of computer resources. In short, it'll probably be a full version only sorta thing.
  7. One more problem. I was going to try to get help from spywareinfo.com, but now I cannot access it. My connection keeps failing, despite the fact I could access it just fine yesterday. Could the programs that afflict my computer be so organized and clever? I hope not. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem?
  8. Any suggestions on how to narrow down my search for the offending program? How do I uninstall/obliterate it once I find it?
  9. There's this thing that keeps getting into my computer, and it keeps spitting porn ads at me. Don't get me wrong, from time to time I may get an urge and go looking, but I don't want porn launched at me every bloody minute. I've tried using ad-aware 6, but it seems to be slipping past it now. AA6 got rid of it the first time, but it just keeps coming back whenever I try to use the internet. Someone, please, help me.
