Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hey, can we just stick with base 10, 2, and 16? My head is starting to hurt. Anything not boolean, decimal, or hex is weird, OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Ishad Nha, there is no reason that an arbitrary number of correctly written timers could not be placed in the same script, or in the same state. Since I've written states which read and write dozens of different SDFs, I'm pretty sure the game can do this correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Niemand says I'm wrong, Nikki says I'm right... What do the ^1 and ^0 mean in your equation, Niemand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 As for Avernum script, if Jewelz ever wants to write a BoA scenario she will need to learn scripting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 In which case, she can read this, the BoA Docs (chapters 2.1, 2.8 and 2.9), existing scripts in released scenarios, or she can ask for help. Chances are, Jewels will be doing simple things like calling one-shot messages for most of the time - heck, I'd say the bulk of my coding is doing that, and I'm supposed to be an established scenario-author - so she'll probably not even need to use the timer code - making your point about BoA not being capable of doing it moot (and incorrect). I say we just let her get on with her scenario - I for one have every faith in her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Uh-oh... now I have to work on it. I did put in three hours yesterday writing dialogue. Now just to do that everyday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Jewelz will need to read and remember the contents of the Bugs post too. She will find it especially interesting coming straight from BoE to BoA. Many of the things you can do in BoE you can't do in BoA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 It's good to be aware of the material in the bugs thread, but most of the issues there don't affect most designing tasks, so I doubt Jewels needs to worry much about them.

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Wait... I'm not sure I understand... are you saying that BoA can't do everything BoE can?/sarcasm Originally Posted By: Jewels Thank you for your concern. Consider me informed. You may stop telling me now. Really, I got it. While your responses have been encouraging me to actually work on my scenario, the broken record thing is getting old. Let's try something new, like, "Tell me what you did today, or I will punch you." Today, I wrote dialogue for an hour. The beginning and the end of the story are all written. Now to just connect the dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Did you remember to include things that BoA can do that BoE can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 In theory that is a fair bit. When you factor in the bugs you lose some of that of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
