I have but one thing to add.

Lord Putidus is one of my favourite BoA scenarios ever.

Yeah, what Nem said.

I feel as if I have to say this, and it may get diluted in the number of times it's repeated, but if you have a problem, most of us are willing to help you.

I'm disappointed I am not being played by James Dean or Greta Garbo.

But I can live with River Phoenix. Barely :P

You are. Well, I have your name, and role, and where you're going to appear sorted. I can't find a decent graphic for you, though, so if you (or anybody else) can get one to me, please do.

Umm... he's been around a while longer than you. Custom titles aren't an oldbie ranking, they just show how much attention you give to these boards through posting. And, I wouldn't go around calling people "New Arrival," because that is exactly what you are, frankly. You have been here for a little over a month. Hell, I'm still a newb, officially, but I usually don't go around continually speaking about newbs, noobs, newness, noobness, et cetera.

Noob.

I actually have graphics for about 20 of you now, but I'm open to suggestions. If you post a grahic here, there's maybe an 80% chance of me using it. Some of the ones I have are pretty bad... (read: I made them myself.)

So...

Slarty - got ya. I was gonna do that anyway, but I'm gonna try and enlarge it, or else get you standing on all fours, like Scooby Doo used to.

Grimm - Got yours already, and it's that one, so it sticks. The Silent Assassin's has been saved, and he'll have that one now.

Kel - you're already a Slith, but didn't know which one to use. So you get yours, too.

I've already got TM sorted out, and it ain't the Louvre picture. It's something better. He's happy with it. And FBM may not make an appearance.

Nalyd - you will get a part. It may not be a part you want, but you will be in there. As will Tully. So send me graphics or you will be cast as slimes/roaches.

And finally, Alorael - don't worry... you have my very best graphic. :)

I'll try and get a list going when I get things sorted... I have pictures all over the shop.

Yes, you heard.

Now, send me your custom graphics in a BoA format. Failure to do so will result in me picking for you. Which will not be pretty, on the most part :P

Post them here as my email account is being annoyingly useless.

Right. Details. This thing will feature 12 towns, and a wide variety of Spiderwebbers past and present. The basic premise is that you have to go to the RWG forum to get a new copy of Galactic Core. It's not needed for anything, but it's always handy to have a spare copy. Along the way, you will have to complete quests to get through each forum.

Quests include:

Escape From The Pit. (Exile Trilogy)
Cat Got Ya Tongs? (Avernum Trilogy)
Kill The CoC Bandit (Announcements).

There will also be special spells, including:

Curse - You tell all nearby foes about the plot from A4. They start cursing blindly, making them easier to hit.
Anvil Toss - X's vaunted spell made good.
Needle Spray - deals pi/n-1 damage to several targets. Or goes wrong and does something random.

Of course, this is but a snippet, and there will be much, much more.

Also, THIS IS NOT BASED ON THE DIKISCRIPTS. It's taking that idea and doing something different with it.

OH! And everything and everyone is game to be ridiculed. You have been warned.

No. But the KKK and the armchairs, as well as hearing Alorael talk about his back aches are all things I want to experience before I die.

Nah, I have a theory - you all CLAIM to have seen the clones because you think that if Aran thinks he has sent "operatives" to your area, he'll not send anymore. Thus, you lie, and say that you have seen one of his clones, in the vain hope that this will spare you.

In other words, you will all die a terrible death when he realises what you've been doing. And, on that note, I would like to ask Jewels where she lives so I can hide out there :P

I think the Episode where everybody realises that Dikiyoba isn't a machine and, you know, enjoys the things she's written but aren't obsessed with them is best. Or the one where Darth Vadar cuts off Luke's hand. That bit rocks.

(And yes, I am slightly jealous that a rival writer is getting acclaim and praise. But still, man. If you like the scripts, tell her. Don't make every post you write refer back to them.)

outdoor terrain modification in Blades of Avernum Editor
Shaper
Member # 3442
Profile Homepage #7
I've decided that outdoors are a lost cause in most cases, and for two reasons.

One was the thing Salmon mentioned - trying to get tress to appear when you stepped on a certain space.

The second was something that should be possible - setting a supply cache to the "found" terrain. I've tried this in three different outdoor scripts now, and no cigar. And the weird thing is, other people have done it (Smoo in RA springs to mind as an example).

I guess the upshot of this means you might not be able to do what you want. But there may be a work-around - have the party go to a new outdoor section, with the changes you want made. Of course, this will probably only be worthwhile if you had a lot of changes in mind...

Good luck resisting the temptation. Besides, you can always do like I try to do and make it something of a discussion... generally makes me feel like less of an idiot for making the topic.

The joke is I made two celebration topics already...

Firstly, well done!! The community loves designers.

It really depends if you are using Mac or PC with regards to applications, but all you really need are the BoA editor and a text editor. I would recommend the 3D editor though - it certainly helps.

Also, reading the BoA docs is a MUST. The first chapter in particular will be invalubale.

Also, START SMALL. Seriously. Download and play "Settlers" by TM to see what I mean here - this scenario also has a quick guide to creating scenarios that even new designers can follow.

And finally, don;t be afraid to ask questions - WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU.

This sounds like it's a Mac problem, which is annoying 'cus I'm powerless to fix this.

All I can suggest is redownloading and trying again.
