Thanks. That is the first time I actually got a straight answer on this.

Well, I just finished a script that is currently 11,173 lines long, and so far, it appears to be working okay. Although it may take me a few days to test every part of it.

But at least I don't have to worry about script limits.

11,173 lines long?

And I thought Origen was mostly sane.

So what's the script do/about?

It's a porno section; similar to the scene's in GTA: San Andreas; except instead of Hot Coffee; it's Warm Ale. Only works if you have a Dwarf who says "I spent all my reward money on ale and whores".

Actually, the script is Garth's Equipment Shoppe. Unfortunately, the competition in Skara Brae prevents him from buying and selling items (Imperial Weapons handles that), but he still has a monopoly on identifying unknown items.

One of the areas that I found a little dissapointing in DW is that you never find any unknown items (i.e. Weapon?, or Armor?)

So, I had to build a workaround. While it is not possible to do it exactly as it would be in most games (without actually changing the DW code), I was able to come up with a (long) solution using flags and randomizing the items that can be returned. So, if you find a Weapon? in the Sewers, it will not be the same Weapon? you find in Mangar's.

A pain in the arse, but I think it came out good.

Very, very cool origen! You're right, we should have included unknown items - frankly, it didn't occur to any of us (though it really should have - <smaks head>). Anyway, you've got a very cool solution - way to go!

Any chance of scripts (such as this one of Origen's) being incorporated into future renditions of DW?

I bet O-man would readily agree to sharing if everyone else would agree to RTFM..

But then what in the five dimensions could he do for fun, if he couldn't roar out RTFM?

Was the Garth's equipment shop implemented in the BT1 mod?

I believe it was Farth's "Imperial Weapons", or whatever was in the game. I just used one of the existing shops, if I remember correctly. Another of the wonderful scripting limitations just made it easier to use their own shops, which are hard coded.
