Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'll get my scenario out when I hear back from all my testers. Until then, I finished this nifty dude which you should replace the standard ghoul graphic with.

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 The testers have gotten back to me, it's just that there are a couple of unforeseen, gaping problems that can't be fixed by a simple "Oh, I forgot a comma here." What this invariably means is that I'm a liar and the scenario will get released whenever I feel compelled to hammer it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 My Website Scenario is released, but still needs to be ported to Mac. Anyone want to help me out with that, please? Unfortunately, freewebs doesn't like .zip and so I had to upload it in .rar format. Also, new large creature graphic. It's not really large, but the attack pose is tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 As best I can tell, no one will be able to unless you can work with something other than RAR format. Creating RAR archives isn't very practical since Mac OS X (like, I suspect, every other OS ever made) doesn't ship with tools for handling them, and the best I could find clicking around on the internet was a limited-uses trial version of an archiver to create that format. Worse, when I tried that, either the archiver or unarchiver (A pretty recent version of Stuffit Expander) failed to preserve the resource fork on the graphics file, rendering the whole exercise pointless. Would it be possible for you to work with some other archive format like tgz or tbz, which people already have software to handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 It also comes in .zip, which wouldn't upload on freewebs. Otherwise, I don't have the appropriate software to archive it as anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Bug. You forgot the set what level the experience is awarded at when giving Quincy a coin. This causes the dialogue script to crash. (Node 21, T3) I look forward to rating it. Quantifying this is going to be a fun and interesting experience.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Originally Posted By: Niemand Worse, when I tried that, either the archiver or unarchiver (A pretty recent version of Stuffit Expander) You should probably use The Unarchiver as your unarchiver.

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 You know what: Enraged Slith, give this file or this one a try. If your host allows you to upload one of them then things are taken care of. (And I'll make a new one for you if you want, after the bug Nioca cites above is fixed, and such other changes as need making are made.) Originally Posted By: Lilith You should probably use The Unarchiver as your unarchiver. It handles almost anything and is bloat-free. I just tried it, and it also failed. This implies that either the format or the archive is likely to blame, as suspected. (The frequent production of cmg files of late has caused me to re-examine one of my old ideas. It looks doable, although there are a couple of points I still don't know necessary details about, and I have no clue how to make a GUI program on Windows. I might start out CLI only, though, or this might be a good excuse to give Cocotron a whirl. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantifying this is going to be a fun and interesting experience. Thanks for catching that. I remember that I was going to test that bit of dialogue, but my party didn't have any cash on them. At least this will give me a chance to make a few minor touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Fixed, new version is on the website. I think that's everything. Thanks for the catch, Nioca. Also, thanks for porting the scenario for me Niemand. Considering the recent changes, would you mind porting the new version for me, please? And, finally, would anyone mind uploading a more convenient archive of my scenario on their own website, so that I can mirror it from my own?

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 To your first question: sure, assuming that you were able to upload one of the formats I used before, and if so, which? Possibly alternatively: I'd be perfectly happy to toss things in a subdirectory on my site for you, or just give you an account and sub-domain of your own, if you wanted. (That latter would assist me in catching up with Aran and Tyran at empire-building. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (I personally use Winrar, which comes in Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux flavours. The version I have says it's just for evaluation, but it doesn't actually expire or stop working in any way. It just reminds you whenever you start the program.)

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 There is a potentially serious (albeit obscure) bug in one of the dialogue scripts that can prevent one from finishing the scenario.
