Game recommendation? in General
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Sunday, September 7 2003 08:08 Profile #11 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....

Hello there everyone....what game are you playing now? in General

ASTRONOMY UPDATE: Mars in General

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??

A couple of graphics ideas, a couple questions in Blades of Avernum

.MOD - .MP3 Conversion in General
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Tuesday, August 19 2003 04:43 Profile #9 My dad had a program called UltraRecorder which records from a connected vinyl or cassette player.

Leaders of the Empire? in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Sunday, August 17 2003 08:52 Profile #154 quote: Originally written by Arancaytar: Well, Ørangutan (haha, that was easy!), the map wasn't made by me, so I can't do anything about it. Also, the map appears to be highly inaccurate concerning the current non-arena timeline, from what I heard. That's why I'm constantly asking how it really looks, but nobody wants to tell me... :P I wasn't blaming you, sorry. 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 ;) ). Can nuclear fallout really move continents? :eek: (btw, that's a pretty feeble way of writing an ø. how bout trying shift+alt with o?) Posts: 316 \| Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00

finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Sunday, August 17 2003 08:28 Profile #5 quote: Originally written by Sir Motrax of College Applications: You can do that pretty easily. Just set up a soundless teleportation node that jumps the party a few spaces back. Set up the terrain with walls on both sides of the staircase, and the player won't notice that they are going over the same steps over and over again. No, no, no, no, one that goes round in a circle. Like that Escher painting (hence calling it an "Escher staircase"). edit:Like this: [ Sunday, August 17, 2003 08:32: Message edited by: orangutans RULE ] Posts: 316 \| Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00

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!)

A little idea I had... in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Saturday, August 16 2003 07:17 Profile #0 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
Mountains in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Saturday, August 16 2003 07:13 Profile #9 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...

Scripts for tiles? in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Saturday, August 16 2003 06:59 Profile #2 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
