Very nice, Woof >:-] Very Howard Hughes style of direction. I imagine wardrobe was a biatch.

Avon's Hope is available on Magma HL:

Cheers, Iron.

Begs more questions, however...

Color table for terrain: 240 colors. Does that also mean color 1 is background, color 3 is transparency? So effectively 238 colors?

What's a 'background' color? What does it do?

What does the second color do???

Hey all, Just looking for some general speed and efficiency tips for map making. 1) Water Having water in a map decreases frame rate on screen. Is this proportional to the amount of water on the map, the amount of water the player's camera is looking at, or some other combo? 2) Color indexing I'm n...

Hi carlinho, My attempt at rationalising an effort to make the Tain is/was NOT shared by the original developers. My initial post to this thread pretty much summed up what happened - A great idea got bogged down by spending lots of time on trivial matters and next-to no time on substance. (The most...

A lot of people seem to want it to get done and I think Magma should put all other projects on hold until it is finished. Well, other than TFL 1.5.0, which I want so I can run a decent version of TFL on my Mac OS X.3 comp (1.4.0 sux) Hi Elfoid, I don't want to quell your enthusiasm, but I see a dif...

Heya Fe, and Merry Christmas, Concerns, schmoncerns. People do stuff cos they feel motivated to do stuff. About one conversation after I did the parsing, I kinda figured that was it. When chat about the 'design of the site' exceeds chat about the content, that's it, it's all over Rover, forgeddabou...

I want to help enter data into the Tain. I have written a script that will generate a nice description and summary report of a Plugin, similar to the reports once seen on The Mill. Hi Industry, Around about February this year I wrote a Perl script that did the lion's share of Mill-parsing - That is...

Have you tried luring Belial on to a pile of satchels? Heya CP >:-] Yeah, tried that - The number of satchel piles close to the keep's kind of a hint... However, it looks like Belial is looking out for satchel piles. He certainly hates dorfs and seems to have a preference in targeting them if they ...

OK, I need a solo-meister... I've torched everything on 'Scourge of Belial', everything... Except Belial himself. He electro-zaps people if you attack him one at a time (and occasionally he seems to heal himself by inflicting damage on you). He flattens everything in a 6 unit radius if you mob him....

Hmmm... From the Mill directly, I remember converting about 2100 plug entries, and a good proportion of those entries were films and ancilliary items.

Either Inf has found a new treasure chest of plugs, or there's a lot of time being spent on stuff I'll personally never d/l :-)

You sure, Orly? Woof can be very cunning. I've learned never to trust his first appearances. Take another look at it... A-HA!!!
