Avernum 5, April Update in Avernum 4
Warrior
Member # 1016

What about multiple endings and factions? Like in Geneforge where the factions and what you did for them affected the final outcome. Maybe the player will have the choice of either keeping the peace between Avernum and the Empire, or one or Avernite sepratist / oldschool Empire loyalist who want the other side completely wiped out. Maybe even working for the Vahnati to turn Avernum and The empire against each other!

As for the new starting point, I'm guessing the player starts in Valorim at the new Avernite settlement they were thinking of building up there.

The awakened seamed to be the most level headed of the factions so they were the ones I would usualy join. Hope they make a comeback in the next Geneforge game.

Is there ever a peaceful ending to any of the Genforge games where the shapers and rebels are able to come to an agreement or treaty where they recognise the rights of creations in exchange for putting various controls on shaping to keep it from being used for evil? Or do all the endings have one side conquering the other?

That may work if you release some of the code to a trusted few like maybe some of the board moderators who know how to program. Certain parts of the code you still may want to keep classified.

On version 1.03 for windows the it_icon_adjust command does not always seam to work. I tried using it to tint a bar of metal yellow to simulate gold with the command

it_icon_adjust = 384;

On the Macintosh version the command seams to work fine though.

Using the Geneforge as the ultimate character editor. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Warrior
Member # 1016
Profile #5
Well, my thought was it would be a reward for finishing the game, and also since the previous Geneforges didn't come with a character editor it would be nice. Perhaps the editor should only be accessible as an egg of some sort or require the player to enter a cheat code after they've reached the Geneforge and won. Type "forgemygenes" or something like that. Does the scripting allow modifications of creations though?

Perhaps for the next game you can have an option that when the player successfully reaches the Geneforge they can use it to edit thier character or creations. NPC companions will probably not to be to keen on you messing with thier DNA though.

Well, idealy the questions would be answered by Jeff himself or a representative of Spiderweb Software, at least until the game is available to everyone. I don't want anybody to violate the NDA so that is why I suggested Spiderweb get final aproval of the answers.

My main questions are what are the 5 available classes and what are thier strengths weaknesses. Are there any new types of creations and what other diferences/improvements are there over the previous Geneforge games. If anybody else has some questions they would like answered maybe they can post them here.

Is retroactive benefits for creations possible? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Warrior
Member # 1016
Profile #3
Well, what I was hoping was that any benefits from skill gains would be applied to the creature upon increase. So if you create a Fyora when you have 1 fire skill and 1 create Fyora, then later on your skill in fire is 5 and your skill in create Fyora is 4 after it gained 12 levels I would like it to be as if the Fyora had been originaly created with the skills at those values. It is probably to late to change the code to allow this, but can it possibly be done using a script?

Would it be possible to make retroactive benefits for creations? For example say you make a Fyora when you only have one in fire shaping, Later your fire shaping improves. It would be nice if the bonuses gained from the increase can be retroactively applied to your creations. Having to absorb your old creations after they have gained levels to make stronger low level creations is rather bothersome

I noticed that the tiles for blank areas kind of resemble blue water. But the tiles for water which show up as blue on the automap apear as black space on the screen.

But doens't creating serviles require a HUGE amount of essence? That's why they were given the ability to reproduce, since creating new ones is such a pain. Otherwise the shapers could just knock out armies of them.

Serviles with the ability to shape would be cool. I could imagine rebels using the geneforge to change serviles to give them that ability and the abilty to use canisters. The player could also possibly be a hybrid offspring of a servile/human/shaper (one pair of the 3) that fell in love and had a child. New creations once you get your skill in the creature up to 5 are a must. I want my battle gamma!

Instead of GIFTS there can be a hidden dungeon full of talking ornks! Or an insane servant mind that wishes to take over the world! or can at least leave its tray and walk around some, able to eat stuff other than the protien goop that they normaly eat.

The biggest problem I see is that the game would most likely have horrible lag. Especialy if there are a lot of players.

Maybe Avernum 4 can be set in the near future when the Empire has advanced to the industrial age, (factories, trains, telegraphs, typical 1890 technology) and the Vahnatai could be even more advanced, (1980 type technology).

I think there was one in the beta, but for some reason it was taken out. Anyway I made my own, just give it ability 213 and that should work.
