Just wondering... Anyone of you printed the editor doc? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Saturday, July 10 2004 00:17 Profile #7 I think you mean PDF. :) And they're also in Word format, at least in the Windows download. Regardless, you can use the text selection tool in Acrobat Reader to copy and paste it into whatever program you choose. -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE.

Resubmission of my custom game, EGM. in Blades of Exile
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Thursday, July 8 2004 23:59 Profile #4 Why make a new BoE scenario? You might as well ask why write a new book, or paint a new picture - after all, there are already thousands of books and pictures out there. Besides, why not? :P -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE. You're an ANT." --Antz Posts: 104 \| Registered: Saturday, November 17 2001 08:00
BoA Graphics Comp in Planning... in Blades of Avernum
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Thursday, July 8 2004 23:55 Profile #4 You wouldn't want to accept cash? Wow. I mean, morals, okay, but turning down money? You be insane! ;) I would take an educated guess that edits are edits are edits, regardless of where the originals came from. -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE.

NPC's in Blades of Avernum
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Tuesday, July 6 2004 23:25 Profile #2 Erika isn't in Blades of Avernum. Unless, of course, somebody makes a scenario with her in.

VoDT NPCs in Blades of Avernum
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Monday, July 5 2004 02:39 Profile #16 Look for a circle of four tall standing stones, and walk into the middle of them.

VoDT what do you tell the machine to releash the dragon in Blades of Avernum
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Monday, July 5 2004 02:35 Profile #2 The edit button is your friend. :) From memory, the word is in your quest journal. You can get to the quest journal by going to any character's info page (by clicking the - surprise! - Info (or Train) button next to their portrait), and then clicking on Quest Journal in the lower-right corner. (It's "quark", in case you're too lazy to look it up.) As for your second question, you only need one of those stones. Edit: There's a free walkthrough for VoDT that comes with the game, by the way. Check the "Blades of Avernum Instructions" PDF. If you're on Windows, it's in the start menu folder for Blades of Avernum.

Trainers.. in Blades of Avernum
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Monday, July 5 2004 02:29 Profile #4 DWtD: Schmid in outdoor section 0,2 (which I think puts it in the center of the northern region somewhere, but don't quote me on that). Outdoors sections are numbered X coord, then Y coord, like you'd expect. So 0,2 would be in the west-most row of outdoor sections, in the third section down. So definitely somewhere in the far west region, and probably southwest-ish; I'm not sure how many outdoor sections DwtD has, so I couldn't say for sure. -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant."

Calls that we wish existed (part two) in Blades of Avernum Editor
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Monday, July 5 2004 01:27 Profile #4 This isn't a call, and I think somebody already requested this, but... I'd really really really like to see item descriptions. We already have string properties for objects of all kinds - why not descriptions? There's even a spot for them on the item info dialog already; just have them replace the "This is an Object. It weighs 5 pounds." message, if they're set. And maybe have one description string for identified and one for non-identified. The underlying framework is already there. It just requires a few small changes and additions here and there, and I for one would LOVE to be able to set item descriptions. And I'm sure every other scenario designer out there would as well. Please, Jeff? Pretty please? :) [ Monday, July 05, 2004 01:28: Message edited by: Flamefiend ] -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE.

Lockable Objects in Blades of Avernum Editor
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Saturday, July 3 2004 15:54 Profile #1 Could you do it manually? As in: Find the charater in the party with the highest Tool Use skill, and get the highest quality lockpick they have. Then test the strength of the lock against that character's Tool Use skill plus the Tool Use bonus of the lockpick. It's hacky and annoying, but it could work... right? :) -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE.

Is it just me, or is magic pathetically weak in this game? in Blades of Avernum
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Friday, July 2 2004 14:40 Profile #4 I use my priest constantly. Without her, my fighters would die in about two turns in some fights. Occasionally I even have to haste her so she can heal AND bless every turn. Or so she could heal both fighters at once, before I got Mass Healing. Or in case there are undead around, so she can cast Repel Spirit and heal at the same time. Or so she can help my mage out with the damage-dealing spells. (Divine Fire can be verrry useful, especially when the only fire spell your mage has is fire bolt. The energy cost is harsh, but that's why you get alchemy.) Or... you get the picture. :D Oh, and I always carry around a stack of energy elixirs and potions so that I can keep up my constant healing and barrages of offensive spells. So, uh... yeah. Priests, underpowered?! :) -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE. You're an ANT." --Antz Posts: 104 \| Registered: Saturday, November 17 2001 08:00

Ideas for security mechanisms. in Blades of Avernum Editor
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Wednesday, June 30 2004 23:25 Profile #8 If anyone's played Half-Life, there's a bit in the introduction (the first chapter, before the disaster) where you're getting let into the experiment chamber thingy, and two scientists have to do retinal scans at the same time at opposite ends of the room to let you through. You could do a similar thing with keys or keycards; so to get through, you'd not only need the key/keycard, but you'd need to enlist the help of an NPC or glue the keycard into the slot. :D Or if the player is smart and has more than one PC, they could just go into combat mode and give each keycard to a different PC... :) -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant."

Betatesters wanted for BetterEditor in Blades of Avernum Editor
Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Wednesday, June 30 2004 00:13 Profile #23 quote: Originally written by Grey-Eyed Stranger: [b] Isaac, he wasn't trying to use HTML. Methinks it to do with the eval...function of PHP, but filtering it out is rather stupid, considering if the board actually executed code in members posts, this board would have more security holes than could be humanely possible.[/b][/QUOTE] Yeah, that's probably it. Khoth is right about the speed difference, though; you really don't notice any slowness at all unless you're doing lots of number-crunching, which the editor doesn't need to do. Besides, a lot of the clunkiness I've noticed in the BOA editor has more to do with the interface and the fact that it has a slight delay every time it plays a sound (from clicking buttons and stuff) than actual execution speed. Yeah, it would be a pretty major project, but I can dream can't I? :D And in the meantime, I could make a script editor or something... hey, that's actually a pretty good idea.
