It's probably possible. Whether it's easy to code or worthwhile is a different question. -
It would be interesting to say the least if someone tried to make a whole planet.

That 2nd opens up some brutal options, like Door Ninjas... It can't leave the space, but it can beat you down just the same.
Lol at the phrase "Door ninja". -

That sounds like a pretty cool idea. -
I like the idea of being able to change the look/name/job texts based on an SDF. How easy it is likely to be to implement is a different matter though.

Speaking of town sizes,I thought a large town was 64 x 64? Or has that been changed already?

It was mentioned above that the limit will be raised, although what to I don't know (is 65535 asking too much?) -
What exactly does "harms" actually mean in this context anyway?

A mix of the two? Say, put in default descriptions that are automatically assigned based on item types, but allow the user to later freely edit them one by one if s/he so desires.
Something like this:

That's a cool idea. Dunno how easy it would be to code though (although presumably CM does). -
Yeah, the item descriptions weren't what I was talking about when I said it would be easier said than done.

Now you say that it makes sense. -

EDIT: Here's something else
Allow for weapons to have other special abilities, not sure how to define it all that well, but for example, let's say for example, that you have a spear called Gungnir, that acts as a pole weapon, now let's say this spear can also have the ability to be thrown like a ranged weapon, except it behaves like a regular weapon, and since it's a special ability you wouldn't have to worry about charges or anything.
That's a cool idea, but I'm guessing it's easier said than done. -
I think Asp Gloves have a chance to poison you and are cursed. The radioactive bars randomly disease you I think.

That's a good point, and if it's not simple to program (as the previous post seems to imply) then there is no point at all. -
Originally Posted By: Celtic MinstrelIt is indeed a neat idea, but not, I think, one that could be implemented in Blades of Exile without breaking the game.

Originally Posted By: Celtic MinstrelI think I know what the problem is here. You can place a special on water all you like, but when you're in a boat you won't trigger any specials.
Would it be possible to change this? Or would it break things? -
Originally Posted By: CRISIS on INFINITE SLARTIESYeah, this is a very specific change, that most scenarios would probably not want to use, and that would entail fairly major changes to a few aspects of the game engine.
Not gonna happen.
Would it be possible to make a type of terrain that could be destroyed by attacking though? It wouldn't have to be the default wall terrain, it could just look the same. -
Originally Posted By: Celtic MinstrelAttackable "terrain" is already possible. Just make a monster that cannot move.
Cool, I wasn't aware you could do that. -

Microsoft may disagree, and I would guess they have more expensive lawyers than you. -

Nope,the drive was a normal (but quite old I admit) USB drive.
I have no idea what computer the game was downloaded on, I had it ages,presumably Windows XP though. -

That seems the most sensible idea. -
I suppose it has to be asked, but is that behaviour actually a bug, or did Jeff intend it to be the case?

Details, man! Tell me how!
Not much to say, except that the install folder was on a flash drive, and I ran it as an administrator. -
Thanks a lot for the link *thumbs up*

The problem is that if we get too hung up on trying to preserve compatibility for every bug that might have been worked around or used by designers then we quickly get to the point of not fixing anything.
