To those still around: What are your all time favorite scenarios? This thread is for both BoE and BoA, though as most of the great scenarios are BoE, I decided to post this here, My favorites (in no particular order): Shadow of the Stranger An Apology Of Good and Evil Tatterdemalion Truffle Days Nebulous Times Hence Adventurer's Club 2: Asylum Tomorrow Areni Frostbite

I just started playing "An Apology" and noticed that the custom graphics are on white backgrounds! I'm on a Mac, can anyone tell me how to fix it? Thanks.

This reminds me: I was toying with the idea of porting "Shadow of the Stranger" (my favorite scenario of all time) to BoA. Sure, it isn't mine, but it's open passworded, and with proper work I may just be able to do it...of course, I've never really designed with BoA before, and considering how complicated SotS is... it may be wishful thinking... Well, I'll check out this port sometime. I've never actually finished "River and Leaf" in BoE before (one of the very few.)

I've been playing the new BoE for Mac, but I have a problem. A bug caused me to get trapped in a scenario, and I can't leave because there's no character editor to pull me out. Can any update be made so that leaving a scenario at any time is possible? Or even better, how about a carbonized character editor? To come to think of it, having a character editor is a necessity in BoE, unlike in the E/A trilogy. Some scenarios use pre-fab parties, and when they don't work/are not included, it is necessary to use the character editor.

Argh, something must be wrong with my copy. I've tried that, but every time I try to paste a PICT into Rezilla, it "unexpectedly quits!" I'm confident it would work if not for that... EDIT: Nevermind, I finally got the graphics to work with ResFool!

*sigh* I probably won't be able to finish my scenario in time. It's going to be so complicated that it's taking quite a while to make, and I want to incorporate some new features from OBoE, so I'll have to wait till that's ready, and by that time, I'll be back in school. I'll have to wait for contest 10. Still willing to judge, however.

*sigh* I've tried using Graphic Converter, doesn't work. The .pct's the game doesn't read. The documentation to ResFool does not work, and I can't see anything about converting .bmp to .meg in Rezilla. Thanks anyway.

In OBoE, I was wondering if we could fix selling items so that they can be sold when equipped. It would be a nicety if I didn't have to unequip items to sell them.

Alright, I have a copy of BoE on the Mac. I have no idea how to convert .bmp's to .meg's. I downloaded ResEdit, but it does not open. Can someone help?

While we're at modifying "if-thens", I'd like to see some "Has Nephil?" and "Has Slith?" nodes. E3 could do that, but I'd love to see that in Blades. Cool node, though.

I might be able to fit some time over my spring break bihrno@yahoo.com

It was my inspiration to perform "Little Fugue" at a piano recital four years ago.

Yeah, I loved this too. I remember all the Gold Statues, Magic Halberds, Shielding Crystals, etc. that I got in E3. It was fun in BoE too, but E3 did a little better with them, I think.

Eh, I liked the ending, myself. Still, it's a cliffhanger, and it's disappointing that Alcritas won't make the next scenario ever. What exactly did you not like about it?

Well, congrats on releasing a new scenario. Is this going to be entered into the 1/10 contest?

If my calculations are correct... February 7, 2007

Out of the contests, which do you feel had the highest quality of entrants? Fourth contest for me, too Out of the contests, which do you feel had the lowest quality of entrants? Spiderweb BoA Contest Out of the contests, which results do you most agree with? Sixth Contest, pretty obvious Out of the contests, which results do you least agree with? Technically, probably the Spiderweb BoA Contest. However, I didn't think any of the entries were good, so I find it hard to care. I'll go with the Fifth Contest. What is your favorite scenario out of those who won a contest? Tomorrow Which scenario do you most think should have won its contest winner that hasn't?* Shadow of the Stranger. Which contest winner do you most think should not have won its contest?* Quintessence. Do you plan to enter the 9th Contest when it comes? Yes, and with BoE Do you plan to judge the 9th Contest when it comes? Yes Overall, which contest do you think was the best, in your opinion, taking everything into account? Either the foruth or the seventh. I'd probably say seventh right away without thinking too hard if ND won Best Newcomer.

Here we go again... For the purposes of this survey, "contest" referrs to annual contests only (i.e. contests 1-8, and the SW BoA contest). Use the contest winners if you need help. This survey is pretty short. Out of the contests, which do you feel had the highest quality of entrants? Out of the contests, which do you feel had the lowest quality of entrants? Out of the contests, which results do you most agree with? Out of the contests, which results do you least agree with? What is your favorite scenario out of those who won a contest? Which scenario do you most think should have won its contest winner that hasn't?* Which contest winner do you most think should not have won its contest?* Do you plan to enter the 9th Contest when it comes? Do you plan to judge the 9th Contest when it comes? Overall, which contest do you think was the best, in your opinion, taking everything into account? (*These don't have to be reverse questions)

I still play and design for BoE.

I still have it, but it's nowhere near complete.

This reminds me...one time I started working on a utility scenario that would distribute items specifically made for beating specific scenarios. I abandoned work on that, it wasn't a very good utility. As for your question: no, not that I'm aware of. Sorry.

First off, yes, you use the cauldron. Second, they're past a barrier on the second floor, in a locked chest. I sure hope you've got emeralds left..

That should work. Thanks.

Just darker would be good.

Cold enough to turn you pale.
