I think waiting three and a half years to respond probably means that the problem has either since been solved, or wasn't a problem.

And there's the difference! Your response took almost exactly seven hours (6 hours, 57 minutes to be exact).

No.

Yes

Did you guys think it went somewhere? We've been here the whole time! (The old forum link, where it says phpBB2, is floating around in places though, so maybe that was it.)

Looks that way (@Keighn who is me not logged in for some reason).

Hey! Jolt is back.

Lordy, I've been lazy. Nothing done except checking props and cast on the different platforms. Very little done.

Finiahed props on galactic agent and now checking cast. I'm really curious on the source material for some of these aliens and beasts.

Finishing up THINGS (props) on the amiga galactic agent. Then i check each platform for consistency on these to make sure they are close to the same. After that i tackle people/creatures (CAST). Terrain (STAGE/BACKDROPS) has been done. Then i tackle the spreadsheet.

Summer life takes me away from computer.

Lordy ROL has a lot of spaces, obstacles and customs. Some are pretty good to consider using in other sets. I'll definitely break up the wordpads to mudules instead of just 1 giant one for all themes.

Finished LOA props-items. Moving onto ROL props-items word pad. I'm considering changing font size to something smaller. I can't see somone printing 23+ pages for each module.

I've been lazy out hiking, mountainbiking, and working on the property do not much have i done. I'm done with fantasy items/terrain and went directly to Land of Advrnturia items/terrain. I should just rebame it all Pops, Set, Actors tbh. Why? Well, "Actors" have a lot of info including inventory.

I did a little bit of spreadsheet work and I like inserting data dron the wordpad onto it. I'll color coordinate the entries and maybe put in littke borders for the information boxes (and use a helluva lot of copy/paste).

Speaking if copy/paste, I create a template of sorts on the wordpad and copy/paste it delending on the entries. Treasure is different from magic items from armor, melee, missile, etc etc etc). That is a bit tedious but i think a quick sheet you print out is better than navigating every menu each time guessing. Obviously that doesnt matter if you erase it all and make every set, prop, actor from scratch. Some I absutely suggest you don't eraseor rather remake if you do erase it all.

So... summer... yeah! It cuts into me wanti g to be on the computer. I guess i'll just commit to at least 1 small bit a day and nibble it down. Its just basic data you can find in the construction part anyway. Hopefully making the tilesets and trying to record the sound is considered the brunt of it all. A decent hobby i guess.

This intro has ACS in it as a consultation (or i think it does)


Yes, ask ACS!

Small tile error on AppleII ROL; i forget the 2 pixel wide bar on the right-hand side. That messes up a few tilesets (its not critical but the plains/empty space will annoy me. I also had garbage files in the zips. I need to trim the non-essentials.

The spreadsheets and word docs will take a little time considering graphics added.

I was reading one of the newsletter and it talked of using a blank adventure disk to store characters. Brilliant idea so i'll get to making one for each platform. I have some characters for the c64 I could place. I am unsure of maximim character limit.

Another slight hiccup. I noticed the amiga fantasy set was altered by me in a test. I had mountains accessible via rope when the original was open to travel by all. I just fixed that by remaking the fantasy set disk from the utilities in ACS. That turbo is FAST!

Just found out END+PAUSE/BREAK puts WUNUAE emulator into turbo mode (good for adventure making). Hitting those keys again stop the turbo. Added the new notes to amiga notepad in zip. I'll upload later.

Just think of all the adventures sent in and the custom work done. I bet there was some. When you read what old newsletters there are, i guess some were just erased because they were pretty basic or incomplete.

There is a thread on lemon asking about the $1,000 award for sent adventures in a contest.

There is always hope that somewhere in a basement, attic, box, storage area that copies remain and the data can still be extracted.
