Seasons of Destiny

I get that, but I can't come up with anything close to a funny response.

As the previous joke was fruit related, I feel like quoting Groucho Marx... "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana."

I hope the completion of this port encourages others to start up the creation of scenarios again.

For what it's worth, I still play BoA, and I still try to tangle with the editor at times to make another scenario, but seeing more scenarios, even a ported one from what I assume to be a great BoE scenario, help motivate me to try to crank one out. There are still a few youngins out there to warm up that mantle. Oh yes, and I hope Of Good and Evil turns out well after the port.

Ah, well I guess I can wait a few months or so for the current tournament to finish.

-sigh- You see? This is why I should check in the General forum more often... Would I have to wait until, as Aran put it, 2015 or so to join, or will there be an opening soonish?

Forgot to mention that I finished reading the Path of Daggers, and just recently finished Winter's Heart. Both were very good reads, especially the end of Winter's Heart (and no, I will not even say a smidgen of the end, not even in a spoiler!). I was hooked on the Path of Daggers due to the ending of the previous book, and the following cliffhanger caused by I can't wait to start the next book in the series...

Well, I agree with you there. I'm pretty sure every single dungeon/town has either Amazing Bricks or random articles of clothing in them thanks to the Bricks or the Cloth. Anywho, I was trying to get all of the items to prove I made a completionist run (Heck, I even got almost all of the Nether Arts spells, and didn't use some of them once). Oh, and don't forget thumpin' people over the head with the Thumpin' Shovel (Even though I didn't use that one either...).

Well nuts... I was hoping to do a complete run without the aid of the character editor... This kind of reminds me of when I played Avernum 3, and got every Xian item except the Bottle. Apparently the bottle was in the grove itself, and not a reward given to you via a special encounter. I ended up giving it to myself with the editor, although it was more of a nuisance than a blessing with its tipsy effect. At least now I know to leave that village alive in future playthroughs.

Well, I decided to try to finish Nethergate: Resurrection completely vannila (no help from the Character Editor), and I suceeded. The only problem was that another of my goals was to collect all of the elusive and odd Sylak's items... I managed to get most of them (I had to drop off the Cloth and Bricks due to inventory spammage), but I couldn't find the Clever Pen. I eventually found out that I would get it from a goblin chief in a outdoor encounter, but only after the whole "Kill Formorian, Get Pen" quest. To my dismay, it required visiting another goblin village my Celts had already savaged for its steel helmet. Is there any legit way to find that formorian without the second goblin village, or am I going to have to abandon the pen?

That's peculiar... I don't recall him having all those skill points in the pre-fab save I made. Mayhaps something went awry when the Mac file was made (assuming, of course, that you're using a Mac).

Well, yeah, but I was talking about the copy I sent Sylae. I was just a little worried that a Mac user would download Secrets from Sylae's link, thinking that it would come with the save file, and then see that they couldn't use it, and not be able to make their own. Then again, I could just be worrying over nothing...

Why, thank you! Lemme break out the celebratory victory glasses!

SECRETS "The wife of a retired adventurer vanishes one day, yet one must wonder: why her?" DOWNLOAD: Windows Windows/Mac AUTHOR'S NOTE: My first ever BoA scenario, it is sure to be rough around the edges. It was a good learning experience, however, as well as a motivator for what I wanted to do with my life. I applaud my past self for sticking with it until the end, and I thank everyone who helped me along the way.

Okay, I'll be sure to remember that. Speaking of keeping everything updated, apparently Mac users will have to manually make their own Jacob save file. I didn't know about this when I sent you a copy, so it won't have a stats file describing what skills to add and subtract. Would I have to send you the stats file seperately, or just send you the file again with the stats file included?

Oh, I should have read this before sending a copy to Sylae... I take it that I would have to write down Jacob's statistics and have them just use the Character Editor to edit him the correct way? Edit: Another thing: Would it be a good idea to have multiple people host Secrets? I'm just wondering since Sylae was sent a copy first, and Tyranicus's database seems very appealing, too.

Achievement get! BoA Coding Beginner! Thanks, and good luck with that cursed DEAD_STATE. Now, what to make next...

After the whole fiasco with the end of my new scenario, Secrets, I now am in need of a host... If you can help me with this, feel free to respond. I'll also need someone who can make a Mac version of Secrets. (Hasn't been officially beta-tested, however I trust that Nikki would have reported any minor bugs while helping test out a pesky death call).

Ah. I guess I assumed START_STATE and START_SCEN_STATE were similar, since it was the scenario script... My mistake. Lemme give it another go then. Edit: Success! The death code finally gets launched when Mari is slain by a creature! Thanks a bunch for the help, Nikki. I'll be sure to include you in the readme I still have to type.
