Patricks Tower demon in Avernum 4
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Saturday, March 10 2007 04:18 Profile Homepage #2 Yup, he's definitely not the one with the pylons, off to the east. As Thuryl's said he's on his own. He's standing near a pit and directly underneath Patrick's tower, west of the area you've explored. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

What happened to the mayor? in The Avernum Trilogy
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Friday, March 9 2007 15:42 Profile Homepage #1 It's never too late to complete a major quest, only the peripheral characters disappear over time. This has never actually happened to me, so I'm purely speculating here, but I suspect you'll find the mayor in the inn. Second choice would be wandering the streets of Shayder. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

Improper block definer? Also, more recently non-existant, non existant semi-colon? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Friday, March 9 2007 15:35 Profile Homepage #15 quote: Originally written by Dark Lights: So I might have put in an extra quotation mark where there was no need and the computer expects a semi-colon after that. Is that what you mean? Yes, or missed one out. Or maybe a bracket. I'm not sure really, my text editor prevents me from making that kind of mistake, and I've never seen that particular error message. Sorry to hear about your dinner. Edit: Also I'd warn against opening the scripts with Microsoft Word as it may ruin the file format (including line breaks) when it saves. You're better off using a proper text editor. Do watch the line breaks, ensure you save the file in the same format as it started in. edit.com may be more useful than notepad.exe in that regard.

Improper block definer? Also, more recently non-existant, non existant semi-colon? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Thursday, March 8 2007 11:58 Profile Homepage #11 quote: Originally written by adal basir goker alvar: [when a computer says a semi-colon is missing its not secret code for your dinner is burning. It really means you forgot a semi-colon. :P Not necessarily. It means that the computer encountered what it thought was the end of an expression and expected a semi-colon where there was none. So the error might not be a missing semi-colon at all, but an badly formed expression. E.g. inserting an extra line break, mismatched parentheses or quotemarks, that kind of thing could be the real cause. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

The best creations? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Thursday, March 8 2007 11:33 Profile Homepage #50 quote: Originally written by Cryptozoology: except that drayks and drakons also have a non-energy-draining missile attack that does (oddly enough) physical damage. (I hear that it was changed to fire in the Windows version, though.) Yes, in the Windows version drayks and drakons have a fire attack, which uses energy. On the plus side, the benefits of shaping skills no longer diminish after level 10. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Why is Battle shaping unpopular? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Thursday, March 8 2007 11:25 Profile Homepage #3 Personally, I quite like some battle creations. Admittedly thahds are plain useless and battle alphas, while acceptably damaging at low levels, really aren't worth their essence cost. I never tried with a war trall but I guess it is much like the battle alpha. However, clawbugs are very dangerous in sufficient numbers, and plated bugs especially so with their base 10 APs. Meanwhile rotghroths are a particular favourite of mine, they have a lot of health and do a lot of damage to everything other than other roghroths. Of course one can never rely solely on melee in Geneforge, because of the sheer number of turrets, pylons, and missile-based enemies. But so long as one has complementary attacks, battle creations can be a useful part of one's armoury. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Geneforge 4:rebellion. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Monday, March 5 2007 12:24 Profile Homepage #19 Basically it's what Khyrryk recommends: you fix things so that 1 lot of unbound is made (allowing the rebels to halt the shaper advance) but the machinery is ruined after that 1 time so they can never make any more (so they can't advance either). The result is a stalemate with the shapers controlling western terrestria and the rebels controlling eastern terrestria. People realise what a lucky escape they had from the unbound and start to question the wisdom of shaping. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Exile I, Graymold Salve in The Exile Trilogy

Deleting files. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Friday, March 2 2007 23:40 Profile Homepage #5 quote: Originally written by Adama: I've been having trouble transferring my saved games. I initially registered the game on my laptop, which is where i started playing. I would REALLY like to use my desktop, however, but every time I transfer the files over, the game doesn't seem to recognize them. If you're talking about Geneforge 4 under windows, it's worth noting that different from GF1-3, the user's save games are now stored in the My Documents folder and the ones in the Programme Files don't appear to do anything.
