Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Everyone knows that the porter from BoE to BoA is pretty bad, because of all the work you'll have to do afterwards. However, I found two errors which are not system quirks, but rather bonafide errors in the porter. 1) SDF checks that include "if less than (a non-negative-one number), go to -1" are not ported correctly. This is a very valid node in BoE, and it corresponds to "if less than (number), break" in BoA -- and it should be ported that way, rather than completely ignoring that part of the check. 2) Two towns with the same name (and same size?) cause the porter to flip out and create two copies of the first town instead, overwriting the second. THIS is a rather glaring error, and one which is causing a darn good bit of extra work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Is the converter's code included along with the editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 I'd assume so. It is part of the editor, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Tristrana Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 The latter isn't BoA's fault, but mine, actually. I was being a lazyass. Still, all you got to do is to change the town-script, and fix up personalities and such. Special encounters of all sorts you would have had to fix in any case, so meh, I don't count that.

Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 D'oh. There are very noticable terrain differences between towns 0 and 4, though, if you check in BoE. No matter. I think I can demolish a building, so I don't have to choke you over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Tristrana Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 You just did, on AIM. Also, I will fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
