  1. There are tons of ways you can achieve this. Make walls where the exits are, make invisible walls where the exits are, make some needlessly complex script to prevent them from going where the exits are... The possibilities are endless.
  2. Actually, it does sound promising. Yet, you might want to rethink the "evol cult". Try your hardest to get something a little more original. If you decide to make an "evol cult", at least try to give them some unique feature so they don't get lost in the Evol Cult Database.
  3. Make sure your security levels are low enough to allow downloading. Internet Options, then Privacy if you are on Windows.
  4. EoC development put on hold until further notice. Many problems encountered, and real life is in a weird point. Let's hope for the best... or hope I die, if you don't like me.
  5. 1: For a main character, pick someone out of a movie, TV show, book... whatever, and just change maybe the spelling or rearrange some letters. I've found that's the best way for protagonists. 2: Ask people, get e-mails addresses and nicknames, then send it to them. They'll send you feedback and you take what they said into consideration. Make your fixes and release it. Enjoy.
  6. PNG's are great. I still prefer BMP's myself. I feel my computer is fast enough... screw file-size issues!
  7. My scripting was lackluster, which is another reason I decided to rebuild. I'm taking my time on this one, to make sure I get the best possible results. Also, my story leaves room for a second chapter, but that's a long shot. I'll see what happens.
  8. Edge of Cipirus. It was originally going to be released a while ago, but I destroyed it and completely rebuilt it with better custom graphics. I'm about 40% done now. Plot/Catch Line: When the first discovery team didn't return themselves or a message, something was known to be wrong. The bosses decide to send a recovery team (you, of course). But what you discovery is beyond frightening. This, as you might have guessed, is a horror story, with very little combat. It's mainly adventure, puzzle, and story. It comes with it's own character for you to use to keep the story straight. This is also being made into an HL2 mod, *insert link here* (sorry website isn't up yet), with different setting (not fantasy), and obvious changes. But that's a way off.
  9. Sadly, that's old news. Designers have been cursing powerful items for years.
  10. No current way of doing so. I suppose you could procure some program to read/open/edit the data files for sound, and replace it with what you want, but I'm not sure that will work either.
  11. Just like that. I admit I mis-read your first post. I had just done the sending to another town. As for the message, I didn't do, and won't have time to do until tomorrow. You should try my advice first (placing the dialogue box pop-up a step foward). After that, I don't know how I can help you. Maybe someone more experienced can.
  12. What are you talking about? That works perfectly. I just did it like 5 minutes ago. Exactly what isn't working for you? Or rather try putting the call for a dialogue box one step ahead, and making that the only way they can go.
  13. Again, that generated from the "camp culture". I also remember reading that the stories of slowing a vampire were to keep the children from being completely terrified of the dark. It's been said that the stories started to scare the children from doing bad things in bad places, but that ultimatly scared them too much. Ava, no one has answers. Mythology is purely in the eye (mind?) of the beholder. Believe what you want, these are just ideas. No one can justify anything.
  14. Although I do have my own theories of the legends, I do agree with Andrea in liking the Elder Scrolls way of having it as a disease. While I don't find it fits THIS particular subject, I think it would indeed make an interesting twist in a scenario. ie... give it to the player. They have to hunt and feed. Fun? I'd like to think so. I also particularly hate the idea of having to sleep in a cofin and stuff. And the shape shifting to a bat? Entirely too camp for my tastes, all of it.
  15. To Keep: There are. I don't think anyone knows exactly how many clans there are, but there a many. Since I'm talking about WW vampire lore, I'll use those clans... The clans range from the charming, artistic Toreador to the insane, but insightful Malkavian, to the hideous Nosferatu. Others include the strong, but stupid Brujah and the animalistic Gangrel. At least I think those are the right names matched with the right description. Those are not all though... such as the political Venture, the assassin Assamite, the mercantile Giovanni, the magical Tremere, and the fleshcrafting Tzimisce. Those are just clans. They group themselves into larger tribes, but that's all based on location. As you can see the differences, they also all of unique, supernatural "abilites" inherent in their damnation. This is stuff like strength, speed, agility, mind-based stuff... all pretty useful for keeping the Masquerade.
  16. Where do you people get this information? Camp movies? Here's a quick lesson on vampires: Driving a stake into the heart does NOT kill a vampire! It only paralyzes them so you can kill them by other means. To kill one, you'll have to down right destroy it's body. It is a fact that vampires are undead, meaning they have died once, and only fear Final Death. Final Death will happen by, as I said earlier, destroying it's body to the point of no return. To be embraced (turned into a vampire), you must first have some of your blood drinken by the sire (turner). Then the child/embraced/other various names must then drink of the sire's blood. There is debate on how long it takes to be turned. I like to think about a night's sleep. Vampires are vulnerable to fire and silver. Those two elements leave unrepairable "mortal" wounds. Otherwise, wounds are regenerated at high rates (not seconds... days). To vampires, blood is a source of energy, not life. Many vampires have even been able to ignore their hunger, but those vampires don't operate too well with their unnatural powers. Vampires do eat food, as it fills their stomachs and makes them feel good, just as us. Vampires CAN reproduce sexually, which is how those half-man/half-vampire things come about (kindred (vamps) and kine (humans) can reproduce between eachother). The sunlight deal: it all depends on the vampire. Certain clans are most vulnerable to it than others. But one thing is in common: They don't just poof, die. Sunlight is fire, and it burns their flesh as if it was fire. For some clans, it does nothing more than tingle (how we get daywalkers). For others, it burns like you sticking your hand in an oven that has been on 500 degrees for 20 minutes. Holy symbols don't bother vampires. Unless, of course, they happen to be atheist, in which case they'd be offended. Buffy is a bad place to look. Pure camp. It has been accepted that vampires came from Cane (Caine, Kane... however YOU might spell it), brother of Able. Cane killed his brother in the classic biblical tale, and was punished by God to live (or die) forever and be forced to take the blood of fellow humans to survive. Most of this info is from White Wolf, which I personally agree with almost entirely. Just remember vampire lore is considered folk, therefore quite maleable by who tells you. Believe what you want.
  17. Um... ok TGM. Anyway, I think you should still give credit for where you got the graphics, regardless of the fact that he (Jeff) said you didn't have to. Just a small note of, "oh and these are from -blah-, by Spidweb." It's just the polite thing to do.
  18. Another possible solution would be to make animated terrains to give the effect. But that not get you what you want, so nevermind.
  19. I like the idea. I think it would work like a charm. Well, for my purposes at least.
  20. I know I'll stick with BOE for a while if only because: A) It is registered, and BOA is not I can make scenarios on BOE, and cannot on BOA. C) I can play scenarios on BOE, and cannot on BOA.
  21. I am throwing something together, but I have no idea how I'm gunna end it yet. Maybe I should have thought about that before I started? Anyway, I'm about half-way done.
  22. Are you crazy? Nothing worth playing will be out until Holidays 2008. Oct. 2007... sheesh, who does this guy think he is? Drakey?
  23. You wanna register BOA for me? I'll make you a spear then.
