Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 In case you're wondering, yes, this is the same scenario as Magician's Choice; it got a name change.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 tomsterthemonstr (7:07:56 PM): Um, I have an entirely stupid question. ... tomsterthemonstr (7:09:03 PM): I see. tomsterthemonstr (7:10:21 PM): So I take it the scenario is not about the history of the oppression of black people in the United States? Thuryl (7:11:34 PM): No. No, it's not. Darn. That would've been interesting. A scenario adaption of Roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Gawd!!! Can you imagine if everone made a scenario of their favorite books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Well, Nightfall was loosely based on a book, and that was pretty good for its time. On the other hand, Blade of the Jedi (although based on a movie, or rather, a series of movies, rather than a book) was really, really bad. But no, this scenario isn't based on anything specific; just a selection of everything that's filtered through my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Quote: Gawd!!! Can you imagine if everone made a scenario of their favorite books? Yeah! There'd be a lot more scenarios with at least half-descent plots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 How's your Salamandastron scenario coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I'm doing Redwall first. Salamandastron is later in the series and I like to do things in order. I've got the layout of the Abbey done for three levels of it anyway. It took me a while to figure out how to beat the stairway bug. At present I am working on some Frame Animation. I have dialogues written for all the characters for the first day of exploration. I'm no where near done but I think it's a good start. Maybe I'll give you a sneak preview when the Abbey's first day is complete. You are my motivation after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Unless it uses separate frames for each individual movement, it ain't frame animation. Just FYI. PS- "Stairway bug"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Lemon Demon Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 A scenario based on the Redwall series? Wow! You like challenges I take it? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Yes, TM, Frame Animation just like The Creator explains it in his Animations utility. (I feel you have no confidence in my ability to create a descent scenario as a first try.) And the 'stairway bug' as in the tendency for a stairway node to immediately call a special in the town you are entering if it is on the same square as the stairway node used to get to the town. Drizzt\'s page explains it. What do you call it? LD: I don't know if it's more the challenge or the book that I love. I tell you though, the most challenging part of it is trying to concentrate on it with all my kids. Three times my two year old has just closed the editor when I got up to do something else. Luckilly it's always been saved, but one of these times it won't be. (and you've eaten my brain twice... cut it out!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 You're talking about a BoE scenario? That changes things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Wham Bam Shizzlezam Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 *In a three year old voice, and with huge, glassy eyes* TM, will you continue to design scenarios for BoE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Quote: You're talking about a BoE scenario? This is the BoE forum. I haven't bought BoA yet and I don't relish the idea of making 3D graphics, or designing in script. I don't know if I'll ever switch to BoA. I'd rather wait for Pyg.

Garrulous Glaahk EDWARD, HAMMER OF THE SCOTS Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 By the way, Gizmo, it isn't difficult at all to make magic-less scenarios in Pygmalion. Rulesets #1 (Science Fiction) and #2 (Historical - Medieval) are magic-free, although #0 does include magic. Just letting you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 There was a small error in the savefile provided with the Windows version of Roots. A fixed version has been uploaded. If you already downloaded the previous version, the error can be fixed by using the Character Editor to remove Sleep Cloud from Dirac's spell list (or just by not casting Sleep Cloud).

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 Roots version 1.1 uploaded. If you downloaded the old version, you should probably redownload; this is a significant change. (The old version is 100% playable, though.) The change only affects a point near the end, so if you're not at the final battle yet you don't need to start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Arenax Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 This looks extremely awesome. I might have to actually go through the hassle of getting a replacement of BoE from JV to play this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Reality Corp. Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 The first post gives a link to the scenario (although the readme still says that the version is 1.0.0 ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Eh. I've fixed a couple of other bugs anyway so I may as well release 1.1.1. EDIT: 1.1.1 released. Same download location as before. The changes are really trivial, so if you already have 1.1 you don't need to redownload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
