Yeah, I think you're right, I was just mixing up the two contest entries.

I think you tested 100 Evil Sliths.

If you needed another beta tester I could be available, but I totally abandoned WtRM 2.0 when I signed up for it...so only use me as a last resort...I'm not reliable.

Name: Excalibur
OS: Mac OS 9.2.2 (Preferably) and Windows 2000 Professional. If you send the Mac version it needs to be compressed with WinZip or WinRar. I doubt custom sounds could work, and it might not work at all on my Mac (SoG and Adrift had custom graphics which didn't work)
E-mail: int80 (at) sbcglobal (dot) net ...It's also in my profile.
Experience: Shades of Grey, Adrift, Muffins 'n Hell

I only use one savefile, unless I've decided to go townkilling or something like that. The frequency at which I save depends on where I am. If I'm bringing about the end to the slime plague I probably save only twice, while I saved it every minute or two in Rentar-Ihrno's fortress.

I've just sent you one. It's compressed, so if you want it sent uncompressed you can just tell me.

When exactly does Chapter 4 start? I might have one, but I don't remember when Chapter is. (Windows save file)

Yeah, and that wand doesn't help too much either.

You're not supposed to pass the traps on the first floor. You're supposed to go through another set of gates directly south of the tower entrance...which brings you underground.

 

If there really is a force barrier there that I'm forgetting about, there's a woman in the south tower on the Isle of Bigail who sells piercing crystals. However, I do know that nothing in Bojar's tower that is necessary to ending the plague is blocked by a force barrier, just three fire barriers. To fight him you had to have passed a spiny worm in the lower level, which would bring you to a disused laboratory and a fight with some slimes that Bojar summons on some runes. After you fight those slimes he summons you have to go through a secret passage in the southwest corner of the room.

 

I hope I'm making sense.

They should be colored with a darker hue, like giving and item adjustment in BoA.

You don't destroy it, you have to walk through them (there's three barriers) and take the damage, then fight the wizard. After you kill him you go into his bedroom and read through his stuff.

-It'd be cool if there were item descriptions (non-generic ones I mean) like there were in Exile, customizable ones of course.

 

-I think BoA needs some major touch-ups to the way it handles cutaways. It looks goofy sometimes, and that probably drives some designers to change things around because of it.

 

-This probably wouldn't help much in most instances, but it'd be cool if the limit on items and NPCs in a town was increased

 

-BoA needs a better method to port scenarios, which you've already addressed. Most of the BoE scenario designers aren't around anymore, though.

 

Extra sets of walls can be solved by custom graphics (which is an even worse idea when you're using a lot of custom graphics). I did that once, but the cutaway didn't work too well, so I used the set for a decorative thingamabob.

I think there was an Adamantite Axe somewhere, but I don't remember the faintest detail about its location.

It was two days ago when I downloaded it. It only works on OS X though.

I've sent my rankings in.

 

...wonder when Tyranicus is going to come back...

Are you going to post the scores we gave when the contest is over? I'd be rather curious as to what other judges gave to certain scenarios.

 

The newcomer category will probably be a close win.

Having never heard of any of those, I've decided to find a copy of Petersburg. Hopefully the county library has it, because there isn't a bigger library for 150 miles.

-I've been reading a lot of long articles on the internet recently. To be more precise, ones about serial killers. That's not being morose or sadistic, just a recent interest I've had in psychology. Ted Bundy is particularly fascinating.

Err...double post

 

I've sent my scores in via e-mail.

 

-If for some reason my e-mail didn't get through I'll have to PM you. My e-mail was having a few problems when I sent it, but I'm pretty sure it got through regardless.

This isn't the only instance in which you could get away with a crime. In E3 you could set quick fire to a place. I'd usually surround myself with force barriers so I could watch. There's also some odd things in both games...like killing a chicken or a cow causes the whole town to become hostile.

 

 

Except when the town has an annoying script that automatically kills you (Fort Emergence, Blackcrag, Gikhra, etc.). I always thought it was odd that cooling amulets protected you from Erika's fire defenses and not Gikhra's.

 

But yeah...Shayder is really fun to wreak havoc on. *smiles malevolently*

Kind of a random question: Does anyone besides me like John Steinbeck?

Sorry, I meant to do it a lot earlier.

Defense.

 

You probably need more dexterity.

Oh well...perhaps a third party could correct the numerous bugs, but that's extremely wishful thinking.

Were you trying to stack it while it wasn't identified? Did you set the number of charges in the script to 1? (Yeah, BoA is kind of finicky and demands that stackable items have a charge)

 

If that's not the case, try changing the item definition so it's an import of item 203.

 

-It might be easier to see the problem if you posted the script for the item.

Because all I did was press "m-a-a" over and over again...and I was expecting to reload twenty times.

-Hmm... I might as well e-mail Jeff about this.

I knew that.

I recently started playing A3 as a singleton. After killing all the slime pools, I bless and haste myself at location (17,4) in the lower level of the slime dungeon. I rush out to location (20,7) and start hurling bolts of fire at the Alien Beast. However, the beast sits there and does nothing, no summoning slimes or anything, until it dies. Is this a bug?

 

-I'd show a picture, but I can't find my USB drive anywhere.

 

Edit: I'm playing on normal difficulty with the game speed set at fast. The operating system is Mac OS 9.2.2
