Please note that resistance does not equal immunity. Thus, this is unlikely to change.

Hm, good point, for the cheater in us all. However, I believe Nethergate 1.1 has by far superior graphics- everything isn't as completely whitewashed.

I have found that having realplayer up on Windows 98 can cause problems. If possible, disable realplayer completely, and just use it when it's needed.

Nethergate 2 ? in Nethergate
FAQSELF
Member # 3
Profile #1
A lot was well done with this game, and some stuff needed some work. It's kind of unlikely that there will be a Nethergate 2, merely because the game's ending kind of precludes any sequel. I might be remade, although I'm not sure what to think about that.

Oh yes, and if you buy A3, you can get Nethergate for $15, if you purchase both simultaneously!

Do you have many other programs running? Or perhaps some problematic ones in the background? Turning them off would probably work best, if you can. Otherwise I'm not too certain. Try turning off some of the special effects in the game and increasing the game's speed.

I've had similar comments with Tiff files and adobe. I'm not really sure what it means (I'm assuming it's a problem with Adobe), but try opening the files with MS Paint. You shouldn't have any problems with that, hopefully.

Did you convert it to a bitmap format? If so, make a copy of the file you want to replace, then copy your custom graphic into the file, and rename it. I've succeeded with my blue jelly monster and giant lizards, so it does work.

Well, it's a 3 person team. Jeff does most of the programming, Mariann currently takes care of the baby, and Linda manages many of the finances and game-registration requests.

Jeff has posted a lot on BoE after the wish list was sent to him. Some good things have come of it, as well.

Avernum 3 Bugs in Tech Support
FAQSELF
Member # 3
Profile #1
Definitely send #2 to spiderweb. They are still working out the kinks in carbonizing games.

Number 1 is probably not a bug. Items do not give visible stat increases in Avernum 3. You may see some of the results of stat increases (higher carrying capacity, increased resistances, better melee or magic damage, higher to hit %, etc.) but you will not see the increase on the character screen.

However, the stats have been increases- wearing the crafted chain mail makes your character act faster in combat, dodge better, and perform better in other dex-related actions. It's just not listed. It would be a recommendation to Jeff (but not a bug find) to offer a suggestion that he change this.

This is a common and unfortunate bug.

Check your save folder, and you'll find a save file without the .sav extension. Rename it with the .sav extension, and reload. All should be well.

How did you get past the lasers in the first place? I've heard some people have used the fight-end cheat, and have gotten stuck. Others have used the mirrors and likewise been trapped. I think you will need to turn off the lasers by using the switch on the top level to be completely safe.

Unlock 3 does make many areas of the game significantly easier. I'm not sure if it's a bug per se, but perhaps.

I don't think you can prevent the lasers from being reset. It may be possible to destroy them, though, if you play around with the mirrors.

For now, there probably won't be any changes, mainly because this forum is somewhat slow and more mods aren't needed as of yet. But in a year, who knows? Maybe Linda/Mariann will have forgiven TM by then ;) .

In all likelihood you used the editor too much. Personally, I've never had problems, and the editor or game altering functions can mess things up- people can't test for things like that.

I think you would have been OK had you tried to fight without the weapon, though it would have been more difficult.

I'm pretty sure no one teaches the skill in A1. Andrew has a few points, and there's a mind crystal somewhere, but that's it.

From what I've heard from people who have the hint book, you are supposed to get it from Fort Dranlon, but it never happened. Oh well, safe travel 3 isn't too hard to find.

One of our plans with the BoA 4th mod spot is to give it to a rising member of the community when the game releases- sort of as an incentive to get imaginitve and innovative scenarios out there. Keep that in mind.

Otherwise, I think modships on this board were handed out just to keep things calm- nothing will really be happening on this board for at least a year.

BoA is still in the planning stage, so any speculation on the release date is liable to be completely wrong. Right now, Jeff is handling Avernum 3 for windows and a few carbonizations- BoA hasn't been fully kicked off yet. That, and many members of the community want to make sure Jeff knows their desires.

So, in sum- no one knows or has any clue. Maybe in a year or two.
