Camdog,

When I downloaded the ritual, the zip file was empty...?

Okay, schedule is now more along the lines of, "I can play nearly any night past 10pm or so," so if people want to play let me know! Weekends change around, but I have some people interested in a possible 4pm start today, so come online around that time if you're able! The more people the ...

How do I post an image? I'll type out the idea now, and edit the pic in. EDIT: https://socialcoyotes.sslpowered.com/images/town.png Abido and his business partner-turned-wife Velmaera own a factory on the eastern border of the town where they do all sorts of metal work, but specialize in silverware ...

There is no way to create a door, but you can put the door there in custom then have the item call a text box that turns on a tag that the door needs to work (you can make doors connect based on tags in the door link editor). I can't offer much advice on graphics I'm afraid. The only thing that pops...

I will download it tomorrow if I get the chance, although I probably won't start playing it until I am done with the OHR Help screens. Just from reading the description, I thought I should tell you that my first game, Tales of the New World, also has a poker game, with no glitches (!), but you can't...

Time to review

Okay, I've been busy cleaning up Help Files for the Ypsiliform release which should hopefully be fairly soon, but I don't want to work on any of my games until that time. In the meantime, I'm looking for games to review! Actually, I need to be specific. I'm looking for games satisfying certain crite...

I liked a lot of the reviews in this one as well. Not sure why, maybe because there was an interesting variety of games reviewed? One thing that felt nice was seeing a lot of reader comments about the previous issue. The Ask Surlaw bits are kind of funny, but a bit hit-or-miss for me. Maybe just a t...

Just wanted to let you know that I've never had a problem getting custom to open regardless of other things going on on my computer, but I don't use my computer for much. My little brother plays one of those online RPG things, and he also has never had trouble opening the OHR. I'm not sure we can he...

I'm pretty sure that there is no plotscripting command to read text box data. I would second JSH's suggestion that you start with the plotscript and call the various text boxes - this is most likely no more scripting than it would have been to 'get' the text box number, and the text box's data, and ...

Another nice thing about using the OHRRPGCE is that the engine programmers visit these boards and maintain a mailing list, and are generally helpful with answering questions. You can probably learn a lot about the programming behind the engine if you're curious. As far as 'getting started', if you d...

Yeah to be honest, I also felt confused by the community mixer thing. I'm glad some people got something out of the TMI article. I have to admit this one was kind of a struggle. I wanted some relatively simple and practical method of deciding things about giving information that could also shed a li...

Sorry to sound like a Surlaw echo, but its the truth, I also never thought about this but I'm glad someone did.

I think the fire looks really interesting. The graphics as a whole are nice, but that especially caught my eye for whatever reason.

Thank you for your complete and honest review of Tales I. 25 or so hours of playtime was it for you? I really appreciated that. In any case, don't look too far ahead, man. In a week, or a month, or a year, maybe something new will come to mind and you'll want to start a brand new game! But for now, ...
