Custom (or whatever) Sounds in Blades of Avernum
Guardian
Member # 2238

Ok a simple question here... I'm not sure if anyone clarified this yet but oh well here it is again. Is the use of custom sounds going to be allowed? I mean in maybe weapon sounds, ambience sounds, other special stuff? Or will we just have the regular ones? I had ideas to put like a singing lady on the street, and then apply a sound (maybe through scripts) to her location, so when you got near her, you could actually here her singing. Possible?

Never played the Avernum games? Why don't you just download the demos? They're free!

Jeff, you said that someone thought of "a great idea for making custom graphics". What is that? I know it doesn't really matter but hey, I'm curious.

"Believe me, if you can handle the BoE editor, you can handle scripting."

All too true. Think of 'em as a tutorial for the greater challenges that await you in the land of 3rd party adventures.

Ok this sounds good. Yea I wasn't actually planning on making a Tunic of Invulnerbility, I was just wondering with an example.

Also we'll be able to make items similar to the Xian Skull right? Like... a text box opens randomly. Or will we have to use them darned scripts to make that possible?

Yea us PC people are unkind, inconsiderate, and think very little of other operating systems. (mainly we're just jealous of mac's simplicity). And also, how do we convert bmp's to meg anyway?

I don't think you can thr-... wait yea you can :D . I'm not sure if there is anything you can't do. And if there is, you can give the effect that it DID happen! Also, Jeff, when you talk about custom abilities on items... does that mean that you can make, say: A tunic that makes the wearer invulnerable? Or would you have to go and say 'immune to....' stuff, and do it immune to every kind of damage?

And YEAH! Pre-orders would be great! Let us get it out of our hair and put it into yours! Wait...

Haha, I think that was an advertisement. Anywho, I'm sure the 4th one will be entirly new, not a port of a particularly good 3rd party one from BOE. And yea again, the highlight of BOA won't be the included scenarioes, it'll be all the wonderful ones you can download! (Which Drakey is gunna host on his site, right? RIGHT?)

Darn... well I think it's odd that my old Mac runs Jeff's games better than my new, spiffy high-tech Gateway... that or the Windows ports just suck! I wish there was a way I could try BOA (or A3 for that matter) on it before I went and bought them... but it's not connected to net and I don't think the fellow house hold will like it if I reroute the cable upstairs too. (=I realize this is all off topic, but I had a chance to ask a burning question so I did... sorry!=)

Well I have an old Mac, about 6, 7 years old. I think it's running on like Mac 7.5 or something... we tried to put 8.0 on it when that came out, but it wasn't stable so we had to take it off. Hey, do you think I could run BOA or such on it? It's really not that terribly bad, so maybe I could though I'd have to order the games on CDs, since it's not connected to the net. And I couldn't get custom scenarioes... ok so maybe that's a bad idea :( . And besides, I don't even know what ResEdit or whatever is, none of that "mac" stuff. haha

I think he meant only like 2 squares around the monster, not actually quickfire being made by him. More like a field of fire.

No no no, when "moving" them, you are just teleporting them to X,Y,Z. And Draky is right, it would probably be more fun for the group to find a way out, with either a timer or Quickfire behind them.
