*The Adventurers' Guild

Okay, the first trial of the random dungeon generator seems to be working just fine, so I've created a published version and zipped it up in my shared folder (that link in my signature). A few notes (at least as far as what it's doing when I run it): Once it installs, it *says* it should produce a d...

Apparently the "if effect X is running" conditional always returns false, no matter what. I really need to setup test cases to ensure things don't break. New release is out. It contains a fix for this. It has the new images. Not much else. I debated putting in support for more PCs but I d...

Okay, my random dungeon builder code is working Hey, is this for the BTBuilder code? Seriously, this is the *BEST* idea I have heard for BTBuilder in a *LONG* time. It would make beta testing a WHOLE lot easier and I hate to say it, but the building aspect of the BTCS system was always kludgy. Yep....

Okay, my random dungeon builder code is working, and I'm back to coding specials in BT Builder. In particular, I've been working on something to replace the "chest" special command completely, and I've uncovered a bug. Apparently the "if effect X is running" conditional always re...

Anything new going on? Well, as a hobby I've been polishing up on my c# programming (I'm hoping to be able to write some useable astronomy lab applets for my intro class before the CLEA labs we've been using ... which are literally about 25 years old at this point ... flat out won't even run on mod...

For starters, I use the counter as a "tracking variable" - I set it to zero, and then have a series of statements with a percentage chance to add 1 (or more) to the counter; this part's no different than what I've done before (and you've got an example in your guide, IIRC). "If the co...

Very nice! You know, I might end up actually using the Erinyes as a half-dragon instead (it definitely strikes me as having a "draconic" appearance to it). I have been messing around with the idea of simulating "multiple spells" through tags, although nothing really useable has c...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v327/arikel_tolifen/White%20Dragon_zpskzyuwgtu.png Caars, is this acceptable? It's a silver dragon, but I figured you could still use it for a white one. Looks great! I agree, seems to me it would work just great for a white dragon (in fact, if you hadn't mentioned...

Incidentally, I've been having no problems with the editor, but haven't yet done a lot of testing of game play just yet (I want to get to a certain point in the module before I play test); so far, everything does appear to be working. For what it's worth, whatever pictures you add are much appreciat...

Bt Builder 0.5.14 is released. It fixes the map editor on windows. Uh oh ... it seems like the windows release isn't loading in certain portraits/images. Some load normally (including almost all that are animated), but several refuse to load (I'm using the "full image" set - including the...

Oh, and item, monster, and spell edit works just fine too. And all of my tests regarding definable items are working fine (along with Methuselahs' suggestion for getting the display to work correctly with 12 items). How is that going on? I haven't even looked at it, to be honest. Are you able to de...

Just noticed something: the map editor isn't loading its background screens correctly. If you edit a map, it puts the map and the display window over the "mainscreen" background. The coordinates start out invisible, but slowly "fade in" as you move around the map (or scroll down ...

Wait, I'm guessing you are using "Save Party" (which *only* saves the current roster of character names as being members of the "party" you name when you save - it just tells the game to quickly load those particular characters into your party the next time you start up the game ...

Groovy! Thanks!

I've had time to look over the item file - looks pretty straightforward, but I haven't yet designed a "potion" category (use without equip). Should have some time to work some more on my modules later this week. A few things I've noticed recently... 1. When creating a new map, it prompts y...
