THE SPIRIT QUEEN'S TORMENT discussion

[lestodante]

I can't open your heroscribe files, I don't know why but it is the second time this happened with your xml.
I guess we have different versions of the program. Mine is 1.0pre1

SPOILERS!

If you want a corrected version of the quests,
I prepared one

Sorry, it may be the old version of Heroquest, not using the new symbols.
The Quest Map files in old style, error-corrected, readable by Heroscribe.

Have fun!

Thank you so much, Anderas!

I guess you have included all the errata found up to now, perfect!

I used HeroScribe 1.0pre1 and they can be correctly opened.

Nicely done. Do you need the all-in-one icon pack? Because that's what I have.

I was working on these too (and you beat me to it, wasn't sure if we were allowed to post them up here).


SPOILERS...

On Nelath's Tomb (Quest 3) I used "DeathZone" behind the Mummy instead of the Wandering Monster trap. In the book the Mummy appears as orange. I guess yours is more technically correct, but the icon I use puts an orangey background. Same with Drowned Temple (Quest 7).

The stuff will get crazier with COPD and the non-standard tiles.

...SPOILERS.

[Anderas]

The first three lines of my heroscribe file say:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE quest PUBLIC
"-//org.lightless//HeroScribe Quest 1.5//EN"
"http://lightless.org/files/xml/quest-1.5.dtd">

I use the most recent version that is hosted in StratosVX signature. It contains minor updates in the library like cleaned-up folders and such. The file version itself, we didn't touch it.

Thanks for the Remark, Kurgan!
I replaced the wandering monster trap with a pit trap, to have the border in orange. Heroscribe should have simply an orange square you can use wherever you like instead of five versions of each symbol!

Good call, whatever achieves the effect best... trial and error and imagination.

Swinging Axe Trap works even better now that you mention it... in terms of looking like a "clean" orange background behind the monster face. I swore there was a solid orange tile in there somewhere but can't seem to spot it just now.

Like creating the "tavern" or "dragon throne" I just overlay a bunch of tiles to simulate a big room, curious to see your solutions there.

I guess if you can do it without the extra icon pack that helps those who don't have it, but the main place anyone gets heroscribe is heroscribe.org which has them both, so...

Hi, i've worked on some cards for things that dont have in Spirit Queen's Torment quests. 2 for the bosses, 1 for the spear, 4 for the 3 keys, 1 for the orbs (quest needs 4), 1 for the vial (quest needs 4) and 1 for the weak potion of healing.

I try to open the quest with HeroScribe 1.0pre1 with mac, but I can't.
I received error message "Can't open file" message.

You can try the version of HeroScribe that is in my signature to see if it will open the files.

Yep the icons make or break the file, as it turns out... I guess you could try to make everything without the special icons, but they sure come in handy sometimes! (and they're just as freely available on the same site)
