Ok, "stressy" I know, but they were saying "sressy". No "t". I can't keep up with all you young whippersnappers and your internet lingo. In my day we actually had to smile! We didn't have no ":" or ")" to do it for us. You kids got it so easy.... *rants...*

My biggest error was in thinking that this editor would be as easy as the Blades of Exile one. I have no computer knowledge and don't really care to learn scripting when all I really want is to just put out short stupid games for just me and a few friends. Though it was funny to see the cats flee in panic when I first opened the editor and screamed in shock.

EDIT: Ok... one friend...

RE-EDIT: Ok... just me. I have no friends.

That sounds like one of those dunking games you see at county fairs. I wonder if I could do something like that. Have the npc "fall" into the water after the bridge disappears and play the waterfall scream sound? Brilliant!

Heh. I originally had this set up as a mini quest within "Valley of Dying Things" because I wasn't sure if I remembered how to do all the special programming. It started off with an npc representing me ("You see an incredibly attractive woman sitting at the table. And I mean, damn, she's hot.") giving a quest to find the co-worker and bring back his head. It started growing from there and I remembered how to do things, so I just made it into it's own little scenario.

Well... the person I'm blowing up in the scenario is a "real" person. I'm making a scenario just for some friends to take out their anger on a certain someone in-game. It's fun to watch your least favorite co-worker teleport in front of you then have all the townspeople start pelting him with rocks.

Ok... I figured out the "Place SFX" part, but it wants a rectangle to place the ashes. How do I get the ash mark to show up on one square?

Need some help. I'm working a special where a npc gets blown up. I got the explosion action, the death sound, and the disappearing act all down correctly, but how do I make his ashes? I want to put an ash mark on the same square that he was on just a moment ago (25,29) but I can't figure out how to do that. Any help would be wonderful.

Torria and the Undead in The Avernum Trilogy
Warrior

Wow. I've been gone a long time. I've suddenly had an urge to play Exile/Avernum again, so here I am. Yay!
Anyway, a question about the island south of Gale filled with undead... Can you get rid of the undead? I went into Torria and defeated the five vampires in the middle around the altar. Is that it? Just good feelings fo doing something heroic, or is the island saved?
Thanks.

Tarra - who wishes she could come up with clever signatures like Aloreal (whatever he's called now).

For some reason, I've been into play E2. Out of the blue. Man, this is a hard game! Anyway, this is first time I've loaded the game onto my new laptop which has windows. I'm used to my mac. (I miss my mac!) There's no music for the windows version!! Ahh!!! I love the music!! Is there somewhere I can get the music so I can play it in the background?

How does this happen? I started this thread over a year ago and today I get some email notification about the replies. Jeez, let it die! To summarize: mithral - unbuyable and found in 3 places in Valorim. Ask a nymph, apprentice mage, and/or a dragon to get started. The smith is hidden in a small town. Go forth. Hunt.

*stabs thread with an iron dagger*

The single most annoying part of (Spidweb) RPGs in General
Warrior
Member # 380

Heh. People. I must say that I rarely have a problem with inventory management, however the people in this forum amuse me. Make a game too player friendly and people complain about how unrealistic it is. Make a game too realistic and people complain about hard it is. Real life IS hard. Games are meant to be enjoyed. Get used to it.

By the way, how much realism can you get in a game with giant talking spiders?

Not quite.... you can find mithril in Sulfras's lair and if you talk to a mage in Inn of Blades. Then, you take the mithril to the "hidden" smith in Lennus (or Squiggus?) and he'll create a mithral sword for you.

Yay! Back to playing Exile 3! I had forgotten how much I love this game... I have also forgotten about the augmentation abilities some merchants have. Can anyone tell me (or does someone know of a list) who those merchants are and what they can do to my weapon. Granted, I know you can find better weapons later in the game, but I would like to have this information anyway. :)

I understand that you can do more with the BoA scripting, but I'm not that interested in learning computer languages. I enjoyed BoE because I could sit down without a manual and no great computer knowledge and just make up some stupid dungeon crawl scenario to e-mail to my friends. Now this task actually takes thought!

I just downloaded BOAE... looking forward to much editing.... creating... and so forth. *bam* WHAT THE HECK?? This is a lot more complicated than the Blades of Exile editor! *sobs* Sorry to spill on y'all, but I had to cry. I don't know how to do this... I barely knew how to work the BoE one, but I still could make playable scenarios... even if they were only for myself.

BOA is better... 'Course I'm biased 'cause NWN never worked on my computer even after I contacted tech support and download several friggin patches!!! *screams!!* *calms* Anyway, yes. BOA is better in a lot of aspects actually. I find tech help for BOA easier, the people on the forums are nicer, and the construction set is easier to use than NWN.... and Morrowind.... and Game Builder... and that one from Ambrosia.... and so forth....
