Curious Artila Drakon Master Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hey How many people are making scenarios at the moment. If you are, could you maybe write little info about it and what we can expect in it. Maybe even the rough date of when it might come out. I'm working on one myself. It will be called "Deception" You are a thief. You have to venture in the scenario trying to find quests to complete and "Jobs" to do. It's not a Linear Game and it doesn't really have a Linear Story Line. At the moment I'm working on the first dungeon of the game and touching up the scripts. Hopefully it will be out by the end of this year but I'm not to certain. Well if anyone else would like to talk about their scenario please go ahead. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I'm working on one. It will be called 'Undead valley', and your main aim is to travel through a valley full of undead, fight in two towers, and several other towns, and reach the end so that you can warn the Empire, Or Avernum, for help. I should have it out within the month. I've been working on it nearly non-stop since I got the editor a week ago, and the game just before. You will need a high level party with at least one priest in it -> or you won't live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Shanty Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Well, I'm struggling with one I like to call "Troubled Transit", at least for the moment. It's based on the peace between Avernum and the Empire post-A3, and the people of Avernum's return to the surface. Nothing fancy, you won't be saving the world or anything. Some traditional "kill the baddies" and "find the whatsit" quests as well as some prejudiced avernite-hating empire npcs and a weirdo religion for the temples.

Fledgling Fyora Shadu Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Working on a scenario about a volcano that the empire has tamed using magic and engineering so they can mine it for iron and gems and stuff. Then a nasty demon decides to live their and starts messing around with the the empires carefully balanced spells/construction for his own purposes. I dont really like just linear quests so I have added alot of extra "fluff" I have all the "friendly" towns done and am working on completing the last 9 quests/dungeons or so. Hopefully I will have a beta of some type out by mid july. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Eric-Ihrno Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I'm working on one called "The Cat Burglar" (unless I come up with a neat idea for a title before I finish it). A highly powerful and illegal magic item has been stolen and it's your job to hunt down the nephil bandit who stole it before he wreaks havoc on the surrounding towns. It'll be a while coming, though. I'm nearing completion of the first town and just starting to get comfortable with scripts and special encounters.

Tenderfoot Thahd Guru Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I have a great idea for a scenario, but I've never done one before. I think if it is properly excecuted, it could be a shot for the contest. Is there someone out there that is experienced in creating BoE scenarios that wants to team up?

Curious Artila Max Power Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I made a similar enquiry a couple of weeks ago (see the thread "A Modest Proposal" on this board) and met with a lot of resistance to the idea of teaming up. There are a lot of reasons why collaborations usually won't work for this sort of project. But having said that, Prophet_of_Doom and I are getting one off the ground as we speak. Er, type. You know. As-yet unnamed, a murder mystery ... with a twist. But it'll be a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Modvark Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I have had plenty of ideas like one about a minoitur and its maze, but that's way to much of a rip off, then i had a great idea for one that was going to be a avernum plague out break from a tunnel they mined into but i just lost interest and messed up the outside map . Now im thinking about a simple beat your way through a dessert before i move on to my master plane....no i can not talk about it, its for the contest and its a secret (ok i really have no idea what im doing with scripting, im a new at it, and i may not have it done in time...........

Garrulous Glaahk Shyguy Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 My first project for BoA will be a huge, massive, epic-sized, grandiose, umm, thingy, that will be at least five times the size of AC3 and will feature a world filled with thousands of npc's, each so detailed and fleshed out that you can spend hours just speaking to each one. The capital city alone will take up about 20 64x64 towns and make Zenith look like a small rural village. I have discovered a way to beat the 200 town limit, so I can have close to 500 towns and dungeons and I have already begun to redesign ALL the graphics for the game. The main goal will be to search the world, looking for a main quest. You will have to be extremely thorough and explore every nook and cranny in order to find it. But once you do, things will REALLY get good. I expect to have it finished, sometime in September of 2008. Anyone interested in beta testing, let me know.

Articulate Vlish Rufo Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I'm planning a quite strange scenario called "Dread Diseased". The name comes from the Article "10 Dread Diseases" by The Creator and the scenario is simply a example of everything a scerario shouldn't be. In other words, I'm trying to make the very worst scenario ever - based upon this list of diseases (which will all be in the scenario) and doing the complete opposite to all advices I've ever read. So my ambition is to create something that people can look at and say: "Learn from this, my friend, this is terribly bad." I truly am pathetic, am I not? I will try to create it with the unregistred version, since disease 6: Delusions of Grandeur requires that. The question is if it will be playable (as I can never test it with the unregistred version). Maybe I'll have to register after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have a hard time making one that's better than Kelandon's, but I suppose people can't be dissuaded from these things and it's good scripting experience anyway.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 It is rather astonishing how scenarios manage to survive. If people remember NK0P, they'll remember anything. After seeing more of Max Power's posts, I have to think that if anyone can make a collaboration work, MP can. However, that's still an if. As for the initial topic of this thread, I (obviously) have a scenario that I'm working on under the name The Slith Homeland (although that is subject to change). The premise is, well, the sliths are trying to get to their homeland through Lost Bahssikava. I have about nine towns almost done right now, and I'm not sure how much more there will be -- this scenario could go on for another twenty towns or just another one or two, depending on how I sketch out the rest of the plot. Having sort of lost Internet access temporarily (I'm stealing a friend's dial-up connection to post this) has allowed me to concentrate more on designing, so hopefully this scenario will be done before the month is over, but who knows. And I'm intending to do a slight revision of the HLPM to include some trial combats, to make the shops more obvious about what they're selling, and to incorporate users' feedback. That is, once I get some users' feedback. I'm looking to find out how well it serves its main purpose right now, which is to make parties for ZKR and DWtD. EDIT: And if you wonder about the lost_king trilogy, check out the Lyceum's CSR. Look at the lowest rated scenarios. The lost_king trilogy is in there.

Or what name they might be under... Which scenarios would these be? That's the problem. I, personally, no longer hold copies. And I think they were deleted from the internet years ago. I wasn't a member of the forums back then (I just spied), so I can't tell you what monikers they might be under. Probably for the better, seeing as how bad they most likely were. I was proud of 2/6. They usually dealt with a satanic cult called the "People of Set", who tried various schemes to bring their god, Set, back to the world and kill all the infidels. So the names of the scenarios had tendencies to be along those lines. I can't quite recall some examples... I'll try to find some records of them somewhere. Anyway, I suggest trying my style as it seemed a bit different than most, with the way I developed characters. It would seem that most people (no one) has played them, so perhaps someone would like to try them out to tell me if I should even bother or not. I recall a moniker, "Izod". So try looking for that.

Ineffable Wingbolt bogus standard candidate Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hey! I'm thinking about doing one. First time, though. . . But I already have a title (yippey!) "A Dance in Chaos: Livestock Insurrection" It's about Livestock lycanthropes, you know, werechickens, werepigs, werecows, etc. If all goes well it's going to be the first part of a series, which will include, beholders (not eye beasts), clones, planes, gods and, of course, necromancers. If all goes well. . . Hopefully the first one will be ready in a couple of months. I had a question: Is it okay if the scenario takes place in a world other than the one of Avernum? Or is there some unwritten rule that scenarios should be part of that world? I'm glad too see so many people interested in making scenarios fro BoA. It seems I need to download and register a copy of BoE since there are some many over there. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Scenarios outside the Avernum world are fine. Most of the best BoE scenarios are only tenuously connected with the Avernum storyline, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Since many (if not most, even) scenarios in BoE take place outside the Exile world, I think you're pretty safe making a BoA scenario outside the Avernum world. (EDIT: As Thuryl said, posting just before me.) BoE is a great buy. There are a sizable number of great scenarios. Anything rated 8.0 or better on the Lyceum is pretty darn good, and anything over 9.0 is awesome. And new ones are coming out all the time!
