Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hi, every day I'll post a teaser screenshot of my scenario. Here's number one http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2430/pandora1.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hmm. What version of the game are you using? Are you making this with the version from the Google Code site? Because, if so, there's a masking problem with some of the items that Chokboyz will likely want to look into... Also... "Argh, Windows graphics". Well, the transcript looks interesting... as does the inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm using the original unmodified version, I have Ormus'es but it has the custom scenario loading problem and using his scenario editor BREAKS the scenario.

Don't worry the "custom items masking problem" has been fixed in the first beta (thus he doesn't use it). Originally Posted By: Celtic Minstrel Also... "Argh, Windows graphics". Nothing essential here, if he isn't using any custom graphic, it's ok ... Chokboyz Edit : find Classic BoE beta 1 here : http://code.google.com/p/openexile/downloads/list Hum, 49 downloads ? Either someone is repeatingly losing his copy of the game or i'm going to have to upload some kind of release quite soon (to test/take advantage of the new drawing method for example) ... Edit2 : Originally Posted By: lampshade custom scenario loading problem Fixed Originally Posted By: lampshade and using his scenario editor BREAKS the scenario Never encountered that since, so i think it's fixed (keep a save copy just in case ...). In case you wonder : Classic BoE is fully compatible with the original BoE (and even with PPC Mac BoE Savefiles/Scenarios), the mechanics being essentially the same. The scenario editor and the character editor have also been updated (see changelog). When GoogleCode will have finished maintenance, i'll upload a new version of the code with some changes (and maybe release Beta 1.1 ...) Ah, and nice to see a new scenario being designed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Chokboyz I'll use your stuff when it goes official; I don't feel like risking my precious scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand losing your work is quite scaring Just so you know, the "beta" status is a purely arbitrary flag i've given to the current release, as it's nothing more than a bug-fixed original BoE executable (ok, it's also adapted to work on modern 32 bits Windows version). Apart from that, feel free to give Classic BoE a try (put it on a separate folder) and report any bug found here ... Feedback is always appreciated Chokboyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Neptúnus Hirt Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Looks interesting, indeed! If you'll be needing any beta testers later, I'd like to offer my services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hmm, is this a case of "speaking someone's name summons them"? I haven't seen Chokboyz for days, and then I mention his name and BOOM! there he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen Chokboyz for days, and then I mention his name and BOOM! there he is. *Appears out of nowhere* Who calls my name ? It's simpler than that : i check the board everyday, but log only when i've something to post To lampshade : i've found this old post of yours : http://www.ironycentral.com/forum/ubbthr...true#Post114792, which, i think, pretty describe the problem you were having with the scenario editor. I've so far, never seen this problem happens (even when following your step-by-step "crash-course"). From the error numbers you had in the old post, the crash occured while opening the scenario file (error num 12 at the very beginning of the save function, so the scenario file was, somehow, already wacky ... probably from a previous faulty save) and while copying the dummy scenario file to the scenario file (it's the way the scenario is saved : first in a dummy then copied into the scenario file). So, in both case, the scenario file was in bad shape when the save function was called (and yes, the editor could be the culprit ). If you (or anyone) ever have some time to spare, could you test the current version of the scenario editor (i've uploaded it in the download section of the repository) to see if such things happens again (no luck on my side). On a larger scale, if anyone feels like doing some beta-testing, i will happily upload the current build of the game executable (graphic drawing functions changed, need testing from other people). Report any bug in the compiled suggestion list thread or directly to the issue pages of the repository. Thanks, Chokboyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Chokboyz Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Originally Posted By: lampshade Chokboyz your binaries are A++ quality Wow ... Thanks (but don't forget Ormus and Ishad Nha) I've implemented some important changes in the current version of the code (mainly porting the file IO functions of the scenario editor to 32 bits, meaning the scenario editor should behaves better with newer Windows OS, and changing the way graphic, are drawn to remove the use of a storage sheet, meaning a faster game, on-the-fly mac/windows graphic switching, no more graphical limitation, possible graphic corruption fixed). I've uploaded an updated Scenario Editor executable in the repository if anyone wants to test it further (mainly file IO functions : load, save, new scenario, ...). I'm actually testing the new drawing method : if i can complete the scenario i'm in (Emulation) without any graphical glitch appearing and if no critical bug appears in the Scenario Editor, i'll release Classic BoE beta 1.1. That said, i'll stop hijacking your scenario thread Chokboyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Originally Posted By: Celtic Minstrel Also... "Argh, Windows graphics". I like the Windows graphics. The Mac graphics are too dark. I like the Mac grass, but not anything else. Looks interesting so far, although two things: 1. "Memento", not "Momento". "Mem" as in memory. A memento is something you keep to remember someone or something by. That's how I remember it, anyway. 2. Perhaps that series of Small Text Messages might be better placed as a Display Message dialog box instead. Just a suggestion. Otherwise, looks cool so far! It's great that people still design for BoE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks for the spellcheck ADoS. There's a reason why it's a series of Small Text Messages, you'll found out when you actually play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Almost forgot to update Anyway, here's screenshot numero dos http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8855/pandora2.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Neptúnus Hirt Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 While you haven't shown much, the scenario really looks like it may be a lot of fun. I'm guessing the character is a pre-made one, looks good. Waiting anxiously for more screenshots! :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Here's third. http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4356/pandora3.png I haven't done work since yesterday I'll try and get started now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm going to bump this thread now that work has resumed. I'll post a screenshot soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Thaluikhain Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 One vague suggestion..."scale mail" may be the popularly used term, but the correct term is "segmented laminar" or something along those lines, IIRC...although the name is rather long, using something like that might help add to the character (though, not having any idea what your scenario is about, it's hard to say). Also, now that custom graphics is fixed, greaves can be made to properly create a full suit of armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably thinking of lamellar armour, which is similar but not identical to scale armour. "Scale mail" is indeed technically incorrect, though.

Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 By soon I meant a couple of months. Anyways, here's a screenshot http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/1606/pandora4.png By the way, I'll correct "Memento" soon, but I'm still thinking about the scale mail.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Thaluikhain Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hmmm...is that a custom PC graphic? I think that's be a great idea, though I'd want someone else to gain acceptance for the idea befoer using it myself...you can be Lazenby.

Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 What is this crazy place? http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4145/pandora5.png Thaluikhain: The custom PC graphic wasn't meant to be intended, but I might include it if the demand is popular enough.

Garrulous Glaahk lampshade Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Well, the hard drive that was storing all my saved work and other stuff stopped working. Project will be delayed for at least a month while I figure something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Anyone doing scenarios should make backups on floppies or flash drives. Or upload it to their own site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I do! It's nice for small files, or for computers that have difficulty with flash drives (or don't have USB ports). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
