In Response To: Re: Eternally Bored - and bugged (Forrest of B.org)

: And actually yes, I agree that that's not fair. I intended to make it so that
: once you had smashed both circuits the timer stops, but I couldn't figure
: out any way to make it stop on smashing BOTH circuits, unless you had to
: smash one before you could smash the other and then the second stopped the
: timer. Do you have any ideas how to rig it to stop the timer only once
: both circuits are smashed? The closest thing I can think of now is to have
: walking over the first poly into the exit terminal room trigger the tag
: that controls the terminal lights, but then if players somehow walked over
: it again it would start the timer going again from where it left off...
The poly trick would also short-change the player if they decided to tank up on oxygen and shields before going to that room. This is a very common trick that advanced mapmakers use, but I'm not a mapmaker and someone else should probably take this on. The obvious suggestion would be to use two timers - both activated by the first switch but each deactivated by only one set of wires. You should be able to set either timer to switch the terminals if time expires, so the result would be as desired. Like it or not, however, you're still probably going to have to increase the time to allow for play on TC. If it seems too easy on Normal, well, it probably means your playing doesn't suck any more ;^)
: As for the weapons shortage, I've been considering allowing player to carry
: an effectively infinite number of each of the Pfhor weapons, since
: story-wise there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to, but somehow
: that seemed like it would make it too easy, especially on lower
: difficultues. But it's really easy to change, just a couple MML values, if
: you think it'd be worth it. Unfortunately I don't think it's doable to
: make that so on TC only or anything. What do you think?
Infinite weapons would mean a return to the infinite Pfhor fighter staff, since there are so many of them. The way to compensate for this is to use rebellion levels at strategic points, much as I hate this. I would only suggest this if you can do it specifically for TC as is done for human weapons - otherwise you'll need to give other compensation for playing on TC.
