Hi,
Still in development, my first scenario with about five towns, and one rather large outdoor section for now. A few dungeons and four main quests. Being designed for low level solo players.
Plan is to use this first scenario as a stepping stone for a series four parts. (I hope!)
gcmaxxon

Oh yes and it will have a map!

Hi,
I also enjoyed the scenario. I started the scenario out with a party of 31 and by games end my party was up to 57! All I can say about that, is that I must have done a lot of ingame editing.
:P

Custom Item Error in Blades of Avernum Editor

Hi,
I'm confused! (so what is new) I looked at the G1004 graphic file and "it_floor_which_sheet = 1004;
it_floor_which_icon = 0; " looks to me like a spear or pike.

I would try not using "it_ability_x" and it's associated "str" just to see if the problem is in this area.

Just trying to help.

Hi,
quote:

Why can't ye get out of the island? Doesn't it work that you help Sorsha with the earrings and thus become thrustworthy enough to be taken to Goldar by her husband Luciano.
That part works OK but I think the problem is with the following statement:
quote:

// Begin of your program and I quote.
beginstate 10;
if (character_in_party(1226))
{
message_dialog("Suddenly, Otto seems a bit mad.", "_Hey, youre not going to take me to the Empire lands, are you? Being thus close the centre of the Empire would make me get caught._");
end();
}
reset_dialog();
add_dialog_str(0, "You stand on the dock. If you were going to sail back to Valorim, this is the only available place. There are no ships currently, but if you'd wait a while, maybe you could hitch-hike on one.", 0);
add_dialog_str(1, "Do you wish to leave this scenario?", 0);
add_dialog_choice(0, "No");
add_dialog_choice(1, "Yes");
choice = run_dialog(1);
if (choice == 2) {
if (get_flag(8, 8) == 2)
{
message_dialog("You did what you were told to, and you got your reward. Now you are free to go home.", "THE END");
end_scenario(1);
}
message_dialog("It doesn't take long before a ship arrives here. While the sailors are loading the ship, you sneak in. Sometimes the foe is just too cunning and strong and, like now, fleeing is the best choice.", "Now you can only hope that somebody else will do the Serpent Salvation. THE END");
end_scenario(0);
}
break;
// End of your program and I End my quote.
// Ref: "t0nout.txt"


Question what is "if (character_in_party(1226))", what character is that?
Just trying to help!

Hi,

"failed to load t5luciado" and "failed to load t5luke"
I suggest that you check the files from the latest zip on the
"Blades of Avernum scenarios" web page http://www.avernum.com/blades/scen_stuff/medium.html
you'll find that there are a whole mess of
text files missing, i.e. from t0stikk to t10east are missing.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Oops! It was all my fault. I did'nt have any text in the first line. I was able to find this out by
editing some else's X.bas file. What I was trying to do was to have the text centered on the screen because my intro pic is only 190 x 140.
Sorry for the trouble but I guess we all learned something.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I am having trouble with the intro picture and text showing up in a scenario that I'm working on.
The pic is less than 450 x 450 and I'm using a PC.
Any help or suggestions would help.
Thanks for any help before hand.

BTW,
The scenario starts out using Warrior's Grove.

Hi,
It worked, I was able to find the bad guys and kill them all.
Spoiler here, you've been warned!

BTW, Kiersten's Key is the evidence for Ariel that you've killed those who were responsible for Xerch'de's death.

Thanks again for the help!

Hi,
Guess I'm having a bad week. Demetrius only gives a quest if you vote for Ariel and then everyone hates you and you cannot enter anywhere! If I vote for Xerch'de still unable to leave the town!
(Even though I've killed everyone in the basement in both voting cases!)
What am I missing? Help me if you can.

Did anyone find the "Second Note"? I also never found the third bar of a Mithral. I believe the curse may be the power level drain while in the Dark Cavern?
