The corner walls are more drawn by the program itself from what I can see.

From scenario ported from BoE (dialog script):
//OBSOLETE: Individual items can no longer be augmented.
// You can hardcode this using the it_augment_item field and.
// the augment_item_on_space function.

If you finished the BoE scenario you could send it to me at ishadnha(at)bigpond.com. There may be something that I can do. I am currently trying to port Shadow of the Stranger, it is a hassle when I can't contact the author. What do all those scenario nodes mean department?

Three types of walls, a few authors use custom terrain as a third set of walls: Amnesia, Foul Hordes, Mad Ambition, Shades of Gray. It seems that the equivalent of type 8 can be made viable with this addition: te_icon_offset_y = -10;
That still leaves types 7 and 9 as being currently impossible to create in a third set of walls.

Pushable stone blocks, Kelandon's scenario Exodus had this in town 48. There was a script
"rockpusher.txt" that made this work quite well.

You can’t have both active and passive abilities in the same item, a restriction that may not be necessary.

The cliffs outdoors are always taken from the visually so-so G616.bmp, Surface cliff. Unless the party is underground, in which case it’s a case of G614.bmp. Thus the only way you can customize the outdoor walls is to rename another file as “G616.bmp” or “G614.bmp” as the case may be.

Magic Shops
To create Magic Shops in the Avernum world is a real problem. Quite a few BoE features can’t be replicated in Avernum, even the Avernum 3 – style Jewel of Return is a tough problem.

Damaged gear is found all through Nethergate: Resurrection, I think designers should alter monsters so they don’t always drop perfectly good stuff.

I dredge this topic up from the depths because I'm making good progress on the move toward the full version 1.0, and i wanted to ask for opinions on a bit of the user interface:

I've rearranged the dialog box coder window to make all 6 strings visible at the same time, as requested by Kelandon. There's a full size screenshot of the new layout here . Does this look better than the old, or does it look too large and unwieldy?

I'm also working on writing the documentation to go into the online script reference, but it's slow going.

Lastly, I think that I may have successfully finished adding something that rhymes with 'ellchecking'. :cool:

I've always been unclear on whether URLs are case sensitive, but I guess they must be, because there's a case problem in the link from your utilities page to the script editor.

As for having a Vahnatai in your party, there is a way to change the default graphics so you can look like one.

Copy the file pcs.bmp into a different folder or put it on the desktop. You should find it in the 'blscened' folder. Open it with paint or something similar and overlay the graphics you want on the graphics you don't want. Put the original pcs.bmp into a folder labeled 'original pcs' or something like that and then put the edited pcs.bmp in it's place.
