I found all of Spiderweb's Exile games on demo disks, but I didn't register any till I found that BoE had a Scenario Editor you had to register to use. Then I registered Exile 3, mainly because it was the most similar. Then when Avernum came out I registered A3, cos you get a discount for registering an Exile and Avernum game.... Well, my life story in a nutshell. They're all pretty good, but I personally never really got into Geneforge....

OK, this just really bugs me, the amount of people who can't actually read!! quote: quote: quote:The proper spelling is VAHNATAI Also, Murder she wrote spelt Vahnavoi as Vahnatavoi and someone spelt Rentar-Ihrno as Rentar-Ihnro.

Ooh, how intresting! I'm reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, mainly cos I got to for an English project.

I should really go out and see it in a minute maybe. Since it's nighttime... but it's been raining for half the day (and I broke my umbrella! ) so I probably won't see it... And anyway how could you not know about it?? It's been all over the TV and the newspapers for the past week!

Trogdor - Star Wars happened "A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away". Yoda therefore could not have known about grammar in Old German. Arancaytar-are you German? Assuming yes, if you use google's translator on this site, does it translate text you type into English? Posts: 316 | Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00 |

My dad had a program called UltraRecorder which records from a connected vinyl or cassette player. Then you can use iTunes to convert to mp3. I'm also pretty sure iTunes does .mod -> .mp3 as well as other formats like .aif and audio cd tracks... -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!)

I just thought the continents should all be joined together or have small straits of water inbetween, since Valorim is definitely connected by land to Pralgrad (this was in E3 ;) ).

I s'pose it doesn't work on Exile games, m'self. If you took out a scenario file on BoE, then went to the game and loaded your game from that scenario it would give you an error and load the party in your current situation, for instance. -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!)

I have this random name generator which I use to make up my names sometimes. I played through E3 with such-made names (I believe they were Cazatire, Seneroth, Kuch, Ku'Apaabr, Xoenguage and some other similar-sounding name... ) Just so that you know, Djur you sound kinda sad for naming them all the same, and what is up with your cat's names, bLuRrY?? -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!)

Would I be able to create "Escher staircases" in BoA, i.e. staircases that keep going up and up and up (or down and down and down)? If not by just placing the staircase terrain, would there be a way to change the vertical level of the staircase (without the player noticing)? Posts: 316 | Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00 |

Maybe it could be a series of cliffs which the player can fly up. Maybe for "high mountains" there could be, instead, those wall things. Of course, the caves are set into the walls, so that would make caves almost impossible... Posts: 316 | Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00 |

Do you mean terrain squares? Scripts are the replacement of special nodes, though I believe there may be a simpler editor more like the special node editor from BoE Posts: 316 | Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00 |
