Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Well, since today's the day the contest was going to start and we still only have 3 confirmed entrants, I think the contest is going to have to be postponed indefinitely until more people are available.

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I talked to Eph yesterday, and he says he's in (and I'm going to say it here publicly to hold him to it. ), so if you weren't counting him, bump the count up to 4.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Sure, I'll attempt to put something together. If anybody sees me online, just subtly mention Blades to me, to shame me into working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Alright, I'm in. Let's freakin' do this! I've got too many unfinished pieces on my hard drive. This needs to be remedied, and this is as good a place to start as any. Might I recommend editing the first post with all the official rulings? There seem to have been a lot of them.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Okay, so that brings us up to five people? And if I have the time to make my own entry, that makes six. Does anyone have a problem if the deadline has to be extended to somewhere around August 8 because of all the delays? We could start as soon as tomorrow.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I can start whenever. Also, one question because this is a major pet peeve of mine, and something I have tried to avoid for years. At the edges of Warrior's Grove, there are a lot of floor tiles at the edge with frills on them that then repeat out to infinity. Can I please just replace the edge grass tiles with basic no-frills grass, or does each of those still count? It's gonna drive me insane.

It's gonna drive me insane. Seconded. I hate this so much that in recent versions of the Mac editor I've altered the frill function to ignore the edges when they are set to repeat, but obviously that was a bit too late for Warrior's Grove. As for extending the deadline: It's okay with me, as I haven't really started yet myself (although I had meant to). Just make sure we don't let it keep moving; we should get this done and not let it drag on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Question: Warriors Grove sucks - there are no windows, or light sources present in town. My scenario is to take place at night, and placing torches would use up more than my 5 allowed changes. Can I place torches in the editor, and then delete them in the town script in order to create light-filled rooms without using light-emitting terrains? (If not, I guess I can work around it by making all chairs emit one square of light, or something, but it seems kind of ridiculous to take the long way around.)

Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I hadn't realized Warrior's Grove was missing light sources... it might be easier for everyone just to allow torches as a free terrain so you can add as much light to the town as you need.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeeeah. I realized that recently too. Warrior's Grove is just so damn ugly... I'm placing so many items. I'm happy with this rules change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well so far since we have no entrants, I'm waiting at least one before I set a deadline, to make sure we get a good number of scenarios. I've also been putting off my scenario, so I'm also trying to do something last-minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Handyman Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm still interested, but busy. I'm about halfway through, though; and I've only got one truly difficult bit left. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm trudging along. It's mostly dialogue (and most of that is pointless), a few creature scripts, the end, and a side quest or two that's left. I made the mistake of playing through what I've finished while exhausted and grumpy, so now I'm not sure what to think about my scenario anymore.

I still haven't started anything, and still haven't come up with a good way to apply my idea to WG and BoA, and yet I'm still toying with the idea of participating. I dunno. I still have two other BoA-related things I want to get done. Do I really want to push another thing onto the stack that doesn't ever get finished? We'll see.

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Gah. I greatly regret that I'm going to have to withdraw from this contest. I was going to put some serious work into my as-yet-unbegun entry this weekend, but yet another in a series of urgent tasks for work has popped up and consumed the whole weekend so far, with no sign of relenting. (For related reasons I have now developed a hatred for convolutions. I seem to come out badly every time I tangle with digital signal processing, possibly because I'm largely clueless about it.)

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Unfortunately, the period of crunchtime at my office has extended past the 1st (our original project deadline) to the 15th (our new "soft" deadline), and I expect that it will continue on past that as well. So, I'm still working on my entry, just slowly. Very, very slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 My scenario was mostly finished until I got tired of trying to work around an incredibly debilitating bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Was this bug something wrong with the scenario, or something with BoA that you couldn't fix? I was working on an entry for a while, but I pretty much stopped as well. If those were the only entries in progress, I guess we can consider this contest dead.

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It's an inconsistent bug with the game. I'll finish the scenario, I just need a break for a bit before I figure out a good workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
