Magus of Cattalon loophole (spoiler?) in Blades of Avernum
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, March 2 2006 02:02 Profile Homepage #3 quote: Originally written by Prometheus: That's an easily-avoidable BoA glitch called the "begin-end combat trick." The solution is to place blocked-to-monsters spaces. Except I'm not ending combat. Since BoA apparently allows parties to use stairways (and portals?) to other towns while in combat mode, I just have a single character walk through the trap and enter the stairway, thus placing my party in the upper level (and ending combat mode automaticall). Using blocked-to-monster spaces could only work if you put them around the stairway in the other town, but that would likely generate nasty crashes. Since combat mode is ended implicitly by the town change, I guess having party placement fail on town entry would cause something bad. However, using combat blocks to prevent the party from entering the trap in combat mode (I've seen this before, so it obviously exists) would fix it. Of course, a more brutal fix would just prevent the party from using the stairway in combat mode, potentially leaving them stuck inside the barrier. But that would be cruel.

Quick Note About Graphics in Avernum 4
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, March 2 2006 01:37 Profile Homepage #40 And in many of the greatest games ever, the number of distinct game graphics is limited by 256 - the size of the ASCII character set. Seriously, graphics make a game look great, but in quality RPGs - especially RPGs developed on a low budget, without an expensive team of artists to design it - they should take second place after gameplay and plot. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Exile 3: Ruined World - 7.50 (9.2/5.5) in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, March 1 2006 23:48 Profile Homepage #6 Out of curiosity, is Exile 3 larger than the first two games, in terms of area and towns? I've noticed that the towns on the surface seemed much more generic than the ones in the caves - not so much "noticed", but I found it hard to remember if a certain name belonged to a barkeeper in Pergies or an apprentice mage in Shayder. That would never have happened in Exile; I'm wondering if that is because the area was smaller, or the characters were more unique. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

The plot itself is not spectacular, but I'd give it 7.8. Or roundabouts. For comparison, I would have rated Druids of Krell at 9.1, Bahssikava at 8.5 and Cresent Valley at 4.0.

As I said, there is no rational limit on bandwidth, and a limit you are unlikely to get close to on diskspace. Feel free to switch to another free host, but be aware that it might have stricter limits on both - though I see you've found one that at least doesn't use ads. :) 2. I do have extremely old chatlogs, but none that are not private conversations. There were no publically organized chat sessions in the time I have been here until recently.
