Hi, I have a NPC who disappears when I leave a town, but reappears when I enter a new town. Question: does the NPC need a separate graphics sheet for a town and another sheet for the surface? Thanks in advance for any help. gcmaxxon

Hi, Ok, I found it. Thanks for the help. This will make my life so much simlper. Quote: Referrance: BoA Editor Docs v1.2, pg. 20 Setting the Starting Location: One thing you will need to do for every scenario is edit where the party starts out when they first enter it. The party always starts somewhere inside one of your towns. There are two steps for this. First, go to the outdoor section containing the town the party starts in. Select Set Starting Location from the Outdoor menu and then select the location of the town the party starts in. Then load the town the party starts in. Select Set Starting Location from the Town menu, and t h e n select the location in the town the party starts at . For more details on editing/loading towns and outdoor sections, read the chapters on Editing t h e Outdoors and Editing Towns. I just put the referrance there for anyone else who may be having similar problems coding and learning at the same time. gcmaxxon

Hi, Is this an example of set start location? Quote: beginstate 12; move_to_new_town(4, 12, 13); break; gcmaxxon

Hi, Is there a simple way to check out your new coding without having to go through the whole scenario just to see the results, then having to go back and forth until you get it just right? What I mean is there a way of just checking the new town out by it self and then later just attach it to the main scenario? Sort of like a subroutine that is called from the main scenario and if ok as it is then left attached. Thanks in advance for any help. gcmaxxon BTW, thanks for the cutscene advice.

Hi, Does anyone have any ideals about the coding for taking a NPC that is currently in my party, release that NPC and then have him go and talk to an other NPC? Since the new scenario I'm working on is based on a singleton, I need NPC's to do some of the work for me. BTW, another reason for the NPC's doing some of the work because my "Lone Wolf" character is starting out as a level one priest with just the opening cloths on his back. Thanks in advance for any help. gcmaxxon

Hi, Yes, you are correct. It is coding from "Castle Pudideum". I thought this was one (maybe the only way) way of displaying one of the party's name. Can I use your "dlgstr" coding? Thanks for the help. gcmaxxon

Hi, Here is a piece of "for next" coding , Ops!, wrong language, that I do not quite understand. Quote: For example (i.e.) : i = 0 while (char_ok(i) == 0) {i = i + 1; } ... append_char_name(i); ... I guess my questions are : what character's name is appended? and just how is it displayed to the player? Thanks before hand for any help. gcmaxxon

Hi, I have a zip file "alint091.zip" which is 56.0 KB in size. The zip contains 5 files: alint.exe, install.sh, uninstall.sh,and two "Rich Text Format" files: readme and commandline. If you would like a copy of the zip file from me, just email me at: "gcmaxon at verizon.net" with your e-mail address and I'll forward a copy to you. (I just hope it is "OK" to do something like this?, because the files are not mine.) Besides which I don't have own a "Mac". Oh well I guess you cannot have everything. gcmaxxon

Hi, I'm confused: Quote: te_ed_which_sheet = 504; te_ed_which_icon = 40; Which editor has the graphic file G504?

Hi, Yes all the white appears to be there! I downloaded the file from your web site and converted it to a .bmp file. If you open it with a paint program you can then shrink the waterfall file and thereby get rid of the unusable white area. Hope this helps. gcmaxxon

Hi, There is a nice review in PC Gamer's Oct issue concerning (and I quote "... and your 'pets' gain experience as they travel with you.") Spiderweb's Geneforge III ref : page 72 PC Gamer for Oct. 2005 Ckeck it out! Make sure "Spot" has plenty of food and water when you take him/her adventuring! gcmaxxon

Hi, Still in development, my first scenario with about five towns, and one rather large outdoor section for now. A few dungeons and four main quests. Being designed for low level solo players. Plan is to use this first scenario as a stepping stone for a series four parts. (I hope!) gcmaxxon Oh yes and it will have a map!

Hi, Quote: "From the Appendices" Where or should I ask in which doc they are to be found? Thanks before hand.

Hi, I'm confused! (so what is new) I looked at the G1004 graphic file and "it_floor_which_sheet = 1004; it_floor_which_icon = 0; " looks to me like a spear or pike. I would try not using "it_ability_x" and it's associated "str" just to see if the problem is in this area. Just trying to help. gcmaxxon

Hi, Oops! It was all my fault. I did'nt have any text in the first line. I was able to find this out by editing some else's X.bas file. What I was trying to do was to have the text centered on the screen because my intro pic is only 190 x 140. Sorry for the trouble but I guess we all learned something. Thanks again. gcmaxxon
