Chittering Clawbug mrb Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Has anyone implemented a 'Journal' or a method to save game 'Notes', like in the regular Avernum series games? mrb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Chivlan Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I doubt it, it might be doable, but pretty useless, since it would only work in the specific scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Um... Are you talking about notes that the user inputs? If so, use Notepad or the Macintosh equivalent. If you're talking about recording things said in-game, there's already a built-in option for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I just turn on Notepad in the background and switch to it if I am so inclined as to take a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug mrb Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Unless I'm mistaken, the built-in option doesn't work! Yes, it's just for one scenario - and I do find it useful to record some conversations or events. mrb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Max Power Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Perhaps you are mistaken, because I just used the built-in journal to get past Eldiran's graveyard puzzle in Cave of No Return. I clicked "Record" whilst reading a book and lo it was recorded. EDIT: A related question: is it possible to put things into a player's journal without having them click "Record"? For example, could I have a special encounter that said "This is fascinating; you jot it down in your journal", after which the relevant information would be written into their journal?

Kyshakk Koan The Paladin Izzannor Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I'm not sure that would work... If you could find a way, it might, but I don't see it. mrb, the built in option works fine, but IIRC they get erased at the end of the scenario.

Chittering Clawbug mrb Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 Alright, I'll try it again - this might be because I have been playing some ported scenarios from BoE, and the whole experience has been interesting...albeit frustrating as well :-). Thanks for your responses. mrb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Eldiran Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 message_dialog() can't be recorded (I think.) You can only record one of those big text dialog thingys and probably what someone says, but I'm unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
