Curious Artila MHaensel Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I want to release my first Blades of Avernum scenario, "Beechford", today. How do I do this? I have the folder compressed into a .zip file. I thought I might be able to attach it to the board - it's only 74K - but no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 If you don't have a website of your own The Blades Forge is a good place to host your scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila MHaensel Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks! I'm pursuing The Blades Forge. In the meantime, my scenario is available from http://www.filedropper.com/beechfordv13_1 for anyone who'd like to play it. It's meant to be a modest diversion. Have fun! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I just tried to download your scenario, but when I went to open the zip file, it was empty. I'd like to play it and give it a review, but the problem needs to be fixed before that can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I was just reminded that the Blades Forge has locked out new registrations for ages now, since spammers were registering about ten accounts per day. Account creation is now enabled again, and will stay up for at least a week, or however long until it takes for the spammers to come back. If necessary, I'll muck around with captcha's again.

Curious Artila MHaensel Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yet more thanks to Polaran. B.J.: You're right. I have no idea how that happened; the zip file is fine on my computer. http://www.filedropper.com/beechfordv13_1 I re-uploaded, and tested the download this time. Also editing original post with the fixed link. Thanks for the bug report! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Yep, it works now. I'll give it a go soon. You may want to get your scenario posted in the Blades of Avernum Scenario Reviews board in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It is now hosted in the database on my site, and I have created a review thread. Congratulations on the release of your scenario! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 If necessary, I'll muck around with captcha's again. Are captchas needed? You could ask quiz questions about Avernum, surely most bots/spammers would be stumped when asked to name Solberg's cat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Or evening specifically Blades questions for designers who haven't bothered with the original trilogy (hey, there could be some!): "What's the name of the premade starter town?" —Alorael, who could see something even more basic. "What's the company that makes BoA?" "Who is the creator of BoA?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 That's exactly what I started doing last year. I wrote a small prototype module called "littlefoot" that picks one of about 10 SW-related questions. Apparently I didn't do it right, which led me to block registrations entirely - however, I went through the code again and it works now. Also blocks names under five letters or with numbers.

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 surely most bots/spammers would be stumped when asked to name Solberg's cat? That one would also stump me. That would probably be the case even if I had known once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
