Smoo

I object! I didn't do anything last year... Did I?

Nioca: Good luck with that.

Actually, those are the only sheets in the Windows version as well. It used to have sheets 502, 503, 505 and 507, but I squeezed them together to make 999.

Are the forums working again? Testing, testing... Anyway.

 

That's right, I decided to take a little break from my juggernaut of a scenario and churn out something smaller. Lo and behold! That scenario became Quarhag Pass!

 

I have some small tidbits of info on my site plus the download links, of course. Link here:

The scenario is pretty small so I doubt there are any bugs. Now a word about the Mac version. Thralni was kind enough to convert the graphics for me, but since Windows loves to screw around with the cmg file, you might have to convert the graphics yourself.

 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my fruits of labor. I certainly had fun designing it.

You need to use the call run_dialog(1) whenever you use the add_dialog_str calls for them to show up in game.

Awesome, Jewelz. I did mean to send it to you. It was on my do-to list, but I suppose it works this way too.

 

The Shadow Vale Database seems to be woefully out of date. Is it even supported any more? Should I bother sending an updated scenario to Tyran? I say nay. All in all, a pretty effortless update process on my part.

Ah, yes. Another player emailed me about this in September. It's a bug. You were supposed to get the "dumbfounded" status. My website (there's a link in my signature) has a new version where I've fixed this. I probably should have made sure that at least Jewels' and Tyran's sites got the updated versions, but I kind of forgot. Of course, you probably got the scenario from Spiderweb's scenarios page, and I really don't want to send an update there.

The witch/magician/lady-like person in the small hut south of Ferrow identifies items for you.

Ah, so seeing my naked body will hurt my scenario's score. Huh. Live and learn.

And what I meant to say, of course, was that the top three scenarios truly deserved their positions. Yay! Let's see if I can slap together something with a more reasonable chance to compete for Best Scenario by next year.

There's obviously been a mistake here. I mean, didn't the nude pictures (of yours truly) I sent to the judges mean anything!

I'm reading Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb. I'm about 80 pages in. Seems nice.

 

As for Steinbeck, I read the Pearl when I was in 8th or 9th grade or something. I liked the ending, but that's about it.

Um... There is a deduct_ap call. Just use that in the creature's script.

Outpost Valley (from Tyran's Archives which by the way aren't up to date.)

BoA

Now if only Iffy would enter Muffins n Hell so that I wouldn't lose. And where is Lazarus with the Tales?

 

Edit: Have we nothing but small scenarios this year?

Send it here.

I have never designed anything, although I think I tested Embers of Rebellion.

or Smoo. Flip a coin.

The priest in Tampere (North-West corner) removes all kinds of curses. You need a thousand gold so that he'll remove it, though.

Well, I don't. No wait. Outpost Valley. Hah! You're all going down! Relatively speaking.

Now lessee...

 

Right now I'm rereading A Song of Ice and Fire. Right now I'm in A Storm of Swords. In the last few months I've read at least:

 

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie (which was an okay first book of yet another fantasy trilogy with good characters and dark humor, but a weakish overall plot.)

 

Domes of Fire by David Eddings (because I hadn't read anything by Eddings before. I was not impressed)

 

A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan (I'm pleased to report that absolutely nothing happened in it!)

 

Making Money by Terry Pratchett (It was okay, I guess.)

 

I also might have finished rere(possibly-re)reading the Prince of Nothing trilogy by R Scott Bakker (Things still didn't turn out well for Drusas or Cnaiur.)

 

That about covers what I've been reading (excluding school-related reading) since December.

So, where's Echoes: Renegade, Canopy, Xerch'de, Death at Chapman's, Kill Ogre, Win Prize and Za-Khazi Run?

I don't think the Blademaster is supposed to be unlimited anymore.

If I remember correctly that drunkenness only starts to wear off once you've reached the second part of the fortress.

Turns out that the problem was that I had my save files in the "documents" folder in stead of the Blades of Exile folder. Everything works now.

 

Yippee!

They are? Man, then I know I'm dumb (can't vouch for Redstart, though). How do you install the scenarios? I've got a bunch of them in the "BLADSCEN" folder like the Valley of Dying Things and one in its own folder. Then I have one in the main game folder, one in the "BLSCENED" folder and OBoE still claims that there are no scenarios installed when I press the Custom Scenario button.

The answer is: no. No you can't. I'm almost positive of this.

I've never been able to unlock/lock a door by setting the memory cell 0 to different values either. But you can also unlock doors by setting the door's flag (memory cells 2 and 3, assign them in the editor.) to 1.

I am making yet another one. This one should keep me busy for a year or two or if I continue to invest as much time into making it as I am now, for all eternity.

 

It's set in (mostly) one huge city with no outdoors and I hope it to have a better plot than my previous works (as in there's more of it) but like in my previous works I will bury the main plot under a hundred side quests.

Oh right. I put my name down here. But I have not received any embers of rebellion via the email. That's why I haven't sent any reports. I can only hope that I was not intentionally left out. Wah!
