DC Design Contest Reminder
 

Just wanted to remind everyone that we have just about 3 weeks left before I and the other judges starting playing your submitted designs and deciding which one will be the default Dungeon Craft module.

For more information, including rules, please see the original thread.

Awww crap. Thats right. This is coming up soon... gotta actually put something together outta the pieces of notes, scrap, ideas, methodologies (ideas), and hyothesis (more ideas) that I've got laying around in various folders on my computer and random pieces of paper strewn about... Gotta get organized. Gotta get time. 'Specially now with over time approved for work and I can't pass up a chance to make the extra $$. Gotta drink more caffiene (mu-ha-ha)

Seriously, I hope to get *SOMETHING* put together for this... it'd be a shame not to.

It would be a shame, I've been looking forward to seeing what you have to offer. :D:D:D

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

Gulp! 3 weeks, huh? Er... That's not a lot of time... Plus, the logic event has always befuddled me! What is that thing for?

Things to do to finish SOME kind of design by then:

1. Make walls
2. Make doors
3. Make overlays
4. Make story of some sort
5. Learn what the logic event does!

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

If you read the help section on the Logic Block event, and the help section on ASLs, you will be in a good place with regards to ASLs. I also have the two tutorials at my site that are devoted to Logic Block.
:D:D:D
Nothing like an impending deadline... :)

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

Cool, muahahaha, the knowledge is mineeeee!!! (Note: the second Logic Block tutorial's link is wrong, it should be in the tutorial directory...)

Now if only I knew what most of the UPPER boxes did... But oh well, it looks so complicated :D

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

D'oh! Thanks. It's fixed now. :)

The help section explains the boxes well enough to allow some experimentation.

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

Yeah, at least now I know sort of what the boxes do... (Not sure how you ever found the variables required for icon-switching and wall-switching, though!)

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

Someday, I'll tell you how I did it, but for now, it's best if I remain mysterious. (he, he, he) :D

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

I had seen them before, but I never got them to work...

I once saw a dwarf drink a whole keg of beer by himself and then juggle six very sharp axes. :D

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

Ah well - need to start experimenting then! ;)

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

With regards to the ASLs, they can be directly manipulated with the logic block event. My attempts at using the GDPL scripting language with ASLs was an utter failure. This is where the GPDL/scripting craze that I was in kinda died, due to the fact that I wanted to figure out the ASLs in the scripting environment and could not. After Tarlanon said the GDPL was not working right, I felt a little vindicated (ha-HA! It wasn't just me :D)

BTW, I just stopped in to look around at the new site and its looking good. You've kinda become the "go-to guy" with your collecting peoples works and/or having links to thier stuff, as well as having some sweet looking dragon pics.

Any idea who all is gonna submit a mod/demo for the contest? I'm still in the "pre-planning scheduling time consideration phase for planing the planning of my plan", which means OT at work ;), and I haven't done much yet :(.

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

Yeesh - I want to submit SOMETHING, but at this rate, I guess I will just be submitting an outline of a module or something... :P (I should be working on walls today, not another small pic!)

Re: DC Design Contest Reminder
 

All I can say is, if you don't submit a mod, you can't win the contest. ;)

As to my site- just wait till I get it all up and running. :D:D:D
