With the Turn Script, you don't need to check for these conditions within the script itself, as the Turn Script for a character will only be executed when that character can act normally. She won't be able to do it if she's sleeping, fascinated, stunned, dazed, affected by the spell Hideous Laughter, etc. Example of use of the Turn Script: At the start of her turn, the Cleric Llagotha will call upon Chaotic Evil deity Hexdra for assistance if her Hit Points have dropped below 55% of the maximum, or if half of her allies have been defeated. You can set a creature's Turn Script in the Intelligence tab of the Creature Properties screen, within the Creature Editor. Next, the Turn Script is triggered in combat at the start of the turn of a creature. 3) Garock the Barbarian will taunt the player the first time he receives a hit, shouting 'That's the best you can do?' or 'Oooh, a mosquito bite!'. Each non-fatal hit on the Necromancer kills one of the slaves and heals the Necromancer (as with a casting of the spell Heal). 2) The Necromancer Eldark has linked his body with that of a bunch of slaves using a sinister ritual. After each hit, he recovers lost Hit Points and a Vrock is summoned (up to five). Examples of use of the Wounded Script: 1) The Wizard Zarx is essentially invulnerable until the player has done a specific thing such as destroy a mirror or a jar. You can set a creature's Wounded Script in the Intelligence tab of the Creature Properties screen, within the Creature Editor. The Wounded Script is triggered in combat when a creature is wounded or damaged. It also introduces two new script types: Wounded Script and Turn Script. Two New Script Types For Combat As well as fixing bugs, version 1.58 limits animated weather effects such as rain and snow to the map's boundaries. Such a map could be mostly black the rest being long cave passages and a number of big cave rooms. With the new system, for example, we could have a really huge cave system based on a single map. Also, we don't risk running out of memory due to the size of the image. That way, when starting a game, we don't have to load a huge file, which is slow. As you move around, the game loads the required images in real time.

Then the game loads and displays only those 512 x 512 squares that are contained within the player's main view at any time. ImageMagick can be used to divide a large image into such squares. Instead of having a single png or jpg image for the backdrop, we have a folder containing many images of size 512 x 512 pixels. Here's an excerpt to get you started: Alternative Display System for Very Large Maps Separately, in the last few days, I worked on an alternative system for drawing very large adventure maps.
