the basement

Can we assume from the high level of your characters, that this is not a starter dungeon?

The basement will not be a starter dungeon......however, you won't need high level characters like the last picture shows to defeat it either. (just used those characters to do a general sweep through the game)Trying to make it sort of an intermediate level dungeon, but there are some tough battles throughout the levels.

I'm trying to have some continuous consecutive battles 2-3 in a row before you can stop and rest and am running into some problems with the script. Is there a script somewhere in the game that does the same thing?

Growler · Post by **Growler** » Fri May 11, 2007 10:54 pm

Continuous/consecutive as in 'can't even take a step or turn 1 time prior to next onslaughter'?

It kinda seems like something like that happened in the Guard's Tower?? Mebe not.. it's been a long time since I've been there & done that.

Yes it does. In the last fight in the guard tower, you have two fights in a row.

looked through the guardplot event w/2 battles.

earlier yesterday I got a script to work correctly, then while making some minor corrections it all went haywire. Took back what I had corrected but still wouldn't work so i'm putting things together from the start again. Basically it's a script where you get to the final plot and you choose between fighting someone or refusing to fight. Depending on your decision, subsequent battles will ensue, different ones depending on which side you choose. As I'm placing the script back together I get up to the first battle (after you choose the "refuse to fight option") and the battle doesn't start....any suggestions? (I've taken the story lines out so to not ruin your fun of eventually plaing the mod when it's done. Here is the code......

I put some ####'s there to show you where the script stops working. (If you choose the "fight option" at the beginning, the script will shoot through 3 battles in a row with no problems, but if you choose "refuse to fight" it will go through the whole refusetofight section but will stop at the fightgolems section + won't let you fight...........

Oh and the numbers of monsters listed in this code are for testing purposes only. Wouldn't be too tough fighting ONE Senrat

Running it through IDLE, I found a few syntax errors, which could cause the script to crap out.

Change these lines:

Code: Select all

def wonbattle3&#40;e&#41;&#58; 
   showMessage&#40;e, &#91;"...."&#93;&#41; 
      bwfinal = 3 
      setTag&#40;e, "bwfinal", bwfinal&#41; 
      vault&#40;e&#41; 
       
def vault&#40;e&#41;&#58; 
   showMessage&#40;e, &#91;"....."&#93;&#41; 
   giveItems&#40;e, &#91;"Perfect Long Sword"&#93;&#41; 
      bwfinal = 4 
      setTag&#40;e, "bwfinal", bwfinal&#41; 
   end&#40;e&#41;

to this:

Code: Select all

def wonbattle3&#40;e&#41;&#58; 
   showMessage&#40;e, &#91;"...."&#93;&#41; 
   bwfinal = 3 
   setTag&#40;e, "bwfinal", bwfinal&#41; 
   vault&#40;e&#41; 
       
def vault&#40;e&#41;&#58; 
   showMessage&#40;e, &#91;"....."&#93;&#41; 
   giveItems&#40;e, &#91;"Perfect Long Sword"&#93;&#41; 
   bwfinal = 4 
   setTag&#40;e, "bwfinal", bwfinal&#41; 
   end&#40;e&#41;

Not sure if that is the only error, but that is the only errors, I received, and everything else looks good from a quick glance.

must have been just the way I copied+pasted to the forums cause I actually have it listed the way you've shown in the actual file. must be something else. Or maybe the order that I have things listed?

dragonbait · Post by **dragonbait** » Sun May 13, 2007 3:05 pm

I got it back to where I had it yesterday!!!!!.........A working script as described as above. There are a few minor issues with pictures popping up at wrong times when you try to run from battles. (example) if you try to run from the beholder, a screen comes up that says "you can't escape" but has a picture of a ghost instead of the beholder, etc. but other than that it works like a charm!!!!

I will just leave it as is for now since it works. I'll be focusing on the other minor battles throughout the last quadrant. Anyway here is the "working" final script............(minus the story lines.

Oh hey Origen.........for the lines above, they are written the way you had written them in your post, but for some reason they don't show correctly in the Devilwhiskey forums when I post it. ????? maybe there are some ghosts in the machine.

Other than these lines not showing up correctly on the forums, the rest of everything works!!

That could be caused if you are using a combination of spaces and tabs for your indentation. If that is the case, you should try to stick with one or the other for consistency. For my mods, I always indented by 4 spaces, and did not use tab at all.

Well here it is....... hopefully I've copied all of the required files to run the mod. Let me know if you find any bugs or just to say if you liked it or didn't. It was allot of fun making this DW mod. A BIG THANKS TO ORIGEN, RICKSTAVERN, HGAMER, and all else who helped me through this whole process. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

and as always be sure to read the readme file first. Thanks
