History of A Simple Blades of Exile Page
|
| 11-14-01 | Removed the oit mirror of ASBOEP. Added a link to Drizzt's Scenario Resource Page to Scenario
Creation. Removed the Scenario Rubric text file (his site has version 2 of the rubric). Merged Utility Scenarios into the
Scenario Creation page (sure is long) and simplified the directory structure. |
| 11-06-01 | Compiled the Users Questions Answered pages at Spiderweb Software's site into one text file -
added it to the Scenario Creation - Spiderweb Software resources section. |
| 11-02-01 | Mirrored ASBOEP to Yahoo! Geocities - us.geocities.com/skyle_jc/Index.htm
- because I will soon be leaving OIT. Verified and updated links,
merged Ideas for scenarios into the Scenario Creation page, added two
text files (alchemy balancing and Brett Bixler's Scenario Rubric),
minor updates of various files. |
| 10-29-01 | Well, not the final update. Updated links and removed dead ones. |
| 07-26-01 | Updated the BOE Playing Guide (3 year anniversary) and uploaded it to the mirror at the college site
snoopy.oit.edu/~clarkj/ASBOEP/Index.htm. Xoom/NBCi.com no longer allowed its members to update their pages and soon stopped
hosting them. |
| 05-25-01 | Final update - removed dead links, converted the playing guide to Adobe Acrobat PDF format. |
| 12-12-00 | Duh, corrected the index page
(there had been a slight update in October). Just realized that
Spiderweb is making a new rpg engine (as of 7/20/00) - Yeah! |
| 10-05-00 | Removed the Scenarios Page (now the page is just links to scenario pages). Verified and
corrected links. |
| 01-15-00 | Mainly added navigational aids (pages with a similar links bar, upper left locators).
Decluttered the main page by placing most of that information on the Scenario Creation page. Minor additions and updates. |
| 10-26-99 | Minor update to the Tactics for the BOE Player, corrected an IRC server on Community page,
minor additions to Scenario Firsts text page. Slow week. |
| 10-19-99 | Added the Regenerating monster special node sequence (submitted by Drizzt),
a list of 500 names by Aceron, and some links to the Sources of Ideas Page (removed the recommended books portion). |
| 10-12-99 | Reformatted the Site Map page and added a few links to the Community page.
Boring really. |
| 10-05-99 | Added some files - A Walkthrough for Basic Scenario Creation, First 50 articles,
and 1000 names text file. Made a host of minor changes, link verifications, main Index page tweaks (like the
Page of the Week banner). Split the Scenarios page into two pages - Scenarios and Utility scenarios. |
| 09-27-99 | Added a Scenario firsts text file under Helpful text files. Added the Special
node sequence Water. Merged My Scenarios Page into the main Index page to have one page convenience to aid in
scenario development (also I wanted the main page to be a larger file than the History page). |
| 09-22-99 | Added two text files with special node examples - Angry Bob and placing a
monster (in this case a Basilisk). |
| 09-20-99 | Shifted scenario design links from the main index page to My Scenarios
page - it is a more appropriate place for them. Moved the Second Scenario Design Contest link to the main index
page. |
| 09-16-99 | Updated the mailing list info on the Community page and added a link to
the All Exile Games webring. Expanded on the roles of the members in Skyle's party (for party development).
Removed the Beta testing page - the info is split between My scenarios page and a text file. |
| 08-20-99 | Added a page with info on my scenarios and scenario ideas I have. Fixed the
the links to the Tactics for the Player files. In Quick Links added links to Sean Rea's scenarios page and
General Wesc's The Pit of Exile page. |
| 08-18-99 | Added Motrax's Graphics Archives link to Quick links. |
| 08-01-99 | Added listbot links to the Mailing Lists section of the Community page. |
| 07-20-99 | Added a Beta testing page complete with a checklist. Uploaded an updated Tactics for the
Player. Made minor updates to most of the pages - Community, Scenarios, Skyle's 5 PC party (added a mod 2 party). |
| 06-23-99 | Added scenario creation links
to the Quick Links section by moving the Monster arena info to the
Community page. Added to the Grid.txt file. Added more stuff to the
Workshop area. Removed the Site Inspector Award as a recent validation
didn't make their standards (for popularity mainly). |
| 06-03-99 | Just a series of minor tweaks to most of the pages. Fixed some links on the Community page.
Removed the Dervish Challenge Page - its ideas will appear in other formats. |
| 05-01-99 | Even longer than the last time. I moved the page to Xoom - members.xoom.com/Skyle/Blades/Index.htm
- as Kfalls.net deleted my account. Added a reference file for Special
Nodes. Updated links to Zaloopa's pages since he has moved to
dencity.com. Made many updates to the Scenarios page. |
| 03-18-99 | It's been a long dry spell here. Based on Aceron's post, I updated all URI links to Xoom pages
by adding _XMCM/ before the htm page. Hopefully Xoom won't change these addresses. |
| 02-12-99 | Added the Exile club link to the Index page and added recommended books (from a
series of message board posts) to the Sources of Ideas page. |
| 01-28-99 | Minor tweaks on all of the pages, especially the Scenarios and Skyle's 5 PC party pages
(the party development page is smaller using Preformatted text). |
| 01-22-99 | Corrected errors on the
Community page. Added some more links to the Sources of Ideas page. On
the Index page, removed ShadowFollower's monster arena link (3 months
with no updating) and simplified the e-mail link (both Netscape and
some MSIE browsers didn't like the sword's Courier New formatting). |
| 01-12-99 | Added two support pages - a text file of grid lines (for making a rough map of towns and outdoors
before using the scenario editor) and a Sources of Ideas Page for BOE Scenarios. Updated The Dervish Challenge Page. |
| 01-08-99 | Posted The Dervish Challenge Page - based on Drizzt's idea of a scenario with the nastiest
dungeons the BOE community can conceive. Posted an updated Tactics for the Player. Added an Exile 2 and an Exile 3 log file
to the Community page. Found a cool spearbar, so I've replaced the <HR>s with it. A little more optimizing, now
using Headers <Hx>s. |
| 01-05-99 | I had created a page with some details of my 5 PC human party lead by Skyle and sent it to
Ithron for his website. Since party development is important to me, I decided to post it on my site also. Moved The Nexus
scenario to the Utilities section on the Scenarios page. |
| 01-03-99 | Uploaded the proposed Dervish Challenge HLPM and portal town. |
| 12-28-98 | Removed the Spells page, the spells will be incorporated into the Tactics for the Player
file. Added a link to the Exile III message board, hopefully more Exile III players will become Blades of Exile players.
Updated the Scenarios and Community pages. Oh, also have a working Guest Book. |
| 12-23-98 | Re-organized the Spells page - verified the information, alphabetized the spells, added the
shortcut keystrokes, also edited the descriptions (again). Uploaded a revised and expanded Tactics for the Player. Enjoy the
extra time you may have with family and friends and have a happy Winter Solstice. |
| 12-21-98 | Consolidated both Index pages to one page as I was unhappy with the MIDI sound JavaScript.
The need for speed, thus I reduced the HTML size by using <P>s instead of <BR>s. Added info to the Community page. |
| 12-16-98 | Added a page of the Community and an HTML Utilities page, minor HTML changes. Send me some
special node sequences. |
| 12-08-98 | Minor changes, minor update on Scenarios page - it has its own history text page. |
| 12-05-98 | Some link additions and updated the Scenarios page. |
| 12-02-98 | Created two linked Index pages - one JavaScript enhanced (with sound) and a non-JavaScript
one. The content is the same for both (a hassle, but a learning experience). Added a Scenarios page that was adapted from
JtP's scenarios page. A Credits text page with some information on how this site was created. |
| 11-17-98 | With regret, removed the link to
JtP's Blades of Exile Page, the first page in the old BOE web ring. It hasn't been updated for about two months. |
| 11-11-98 | Restored Zaloopa's BOE links, also added a link to his Monster Arena Hall of Fame. Changed
background color to more closely match the Exile classic cave terrain - averaged the two lighter colors of RGB of 0, 255, 255
and 51, 204, 204 into 25, 230, 230 or 19E6E6 in hexadecimal. |
| 11-03-98 | Added links to the BOE shareware pages within Spiderweb Software's site and Stareye's
Special Spells (edited his Article 35). |
| 10-30-98 | With 4 of 5 smiley faces, A
Simple BOE Page earned the SiteInspector award (frowns - lack of
popularity and ftp links being deemed invalid). Didn't use the official
graphic because it was too tall, thus made a text link. Added a link to
a text page of progress on my scenario - The Return. |
| 10-28-98 | Added a second scenario guest book series of specials. Used the links at
SiteOwner to correct minor errors - spelling, HTML coding, etc. A nice service by
LinkExchange, especially the SiteInspector. Used GIF Cruncher, a free utility, to
compress all GIF images to 32 colors or fewer. |
| 10-26-98 | Created and added some special node sequences. With Leon Lin's permission, added some special nodes
he wrote in Rubacus. Also, edited and posted Stareye's Mage Lore Guidelines, article 36. |
| 10-20-98 | Validated the Index and History pages at W3C HTML Validation Service.
Thus any browser capable of interpreting the HTML 4.0 standard should be able to correctly display these pages. |
| 10-17-98 | Removed JtP's BOE Web Ring
links. Aceron became the Ringmaster of the original BOE Web Ring and
deleted all of the sites to allow a fresh start for Zaloopa's BOE Web
Ring. Restored the BOE Web Ring graphics and added two more recommended
scenarios - Scott Evan's Truffle Days and Leon Lin's Rubacus. |
| 10-16-98 | Added Zaloopa's BOE Web Ring links to go with the original Web Ring links. Removed the
graphics associated with both Web Rings. |
| 10-14-98 | Became site #4 on Zaloopa's BOE Web Ring. |
| 10-10-98 | Moved the BOE Webring Link to the Quick Links side, revised and uploaded Tactics for the Player. |
| 09-29-98 | Rewrote the page using a one
row, two column table to make use of the links side bar. Optimized the
JavaScript for the Date and time. Updated links to Spiderweb's Scenario
Editor User's Questions Answered page, added a link to Exile Fiction on
Akhronath's site. Moved most of the Interesting Links to the Quick
Links side bar to remove a basically useless page. |
| 09-21-98 | Added Aceron's BOE Message
Board link and updated the Interesting Links page with the 3 Monster
Arenas available. Have spent a lot of time trying to get Roger Moore's
Java Scenario Dump to work with Win 95 JRE program with no luck - it
would have been nice to have it dump out scenario special node
sequences. |
| 08-31-98 | Formatted the page title using a Figlet
service. Changed the colors - background to pale turquoise, links to blue, visited links to crimson. Fixed the Interesting
Links page. |
| 08-25-98 | Uploaded TWOTS 1.3.6 (Enhanced version 1.0.2). |
| 08-17-98 | Uploaded an enhanced version of Tony Wilsdon's The Wreck of the Slug scenario that has the
Nephil Raider. Uploaded a Classic Terrains file for Windows version of BOE and an alternate Bladbase.exs source file for
scenarios to Downloads. In Downloads, there's a link to Stareye's site for a Res Edit file of the classic terrains for the
Macintosh version of BOE. Made a link to the Monster Arena on Akhronath's page on the Interesting Links page. |
| 08-02-98 | Added Exile Terrain (Windows bitmap, 256 colors) in Downloads. Made a page of interesting BOE
and Exile links. Added Party register special node sequence. |
| 07-26-98 | Added Tactics for the Player and my version of The Tower of the Magi. Added a page of some
Special node sequences. Corrected the Javascript greeting. |
| 07-24-98 | Added links to some of the best scenarios available. Minor reformatting throughout. Added the
BOE Scenario Editor documentation in RTF format in the download section. |
| 07-23-98 | Created this site, www.kfalls.net/~jamclark/Index.htm and became site #39 on
JtP's Blades of Exile Web Ring. Yeah. Corrected spelling. |
