I wouldn't call it a bug so much as a minor bit of incompleteness with the editor. The editor can do -almost- everything. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...

If you've registered on one computer, you should be able to have it registered on the other computer.

I understand what you mean from an asthetic view, but believe that it would cause much confusion. Very few games have adequate flying monsters. Baldur's Gate 2 had some dragons, but they were forced to be earth-bound, eliminating a degree of freedom in combat. Maybe if there were a few more changes to the engine it might be possible, but your greatest hope in getting something like this implemented probably lies with Geneforge. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...

Not too many more ideas, but maybe you should move the installer off your desktop, and directly onto C:. It probably won't do a thing, but you never know. Also, try updating your version of win98. Check out microsoft's homepage for more information on this. [ Sunday, September 08, 2002 18:36: Message edited by: Schrodinger ] -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...

PCs use bitmaps and range from 700 to 7000. Most monsters, characters, and such are in the 1200s and later. Items are in the 1000s, terrains are in the 700s. Tall monsters go bottom first, then top, and appear to be consecutive bitmaps. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

I've heard some people have had good luck in installing the game via CD. They can be ordered through spiderweb, but you run the risk of not trying the game out fully before you purchase it. Still, definitely try updating you antivirus program. It's unlikely that that is the cause, but still, it doesn't hurt. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...

PCs, NPCs, and monster specs: I think this is what is desired: PCs: Definition: A PC is a character that has the graphics set appropriate for joining your party. Specs: Each image is 46X56. There are a total of 72 large images per PC. The right half (36) is "wearing armor," the left half (26) is "armorless." There are nine poses, and in each, the character faces 4 different directions (NE- so you see the back of the character, NW, SW- so you see the front of the character, SE). Poses: The first row consists of passive characters, or non-hostile. There are 8 of these (4 armorless, 4 wearing armor, facing the directions already stated. The second row consists of a character "on guard," how they look in fight mode but not attacking. This first "on guard" character is using a melee weapon. The third row consists of a character attacking with a melee weapon. The fourth row consists of a character "on guard" and armed with a pole weapon. The fifth row consists of a character attacking with a pole weapon. The sixth row consists of a character "on guard" and armed with a melee weapon and shield. The seventh row consists of a character attacking with a melee weapon, and equipped with a shield. The eighth row consist of the character seated in a chair. The ninth row consists of the character's death poses, which are sequentially arranged such that an animation results upon the character's death. The character faces NE when they die. The final images needed are 12X16 small images of the passive character- these are used on the outdoor map. Eight are needed, each facing a different direction (NE, NW, SW, SE, and again for armored). *** NPCs: Definition: An NPC is a character whose graphic set is used for creatures with whom the party can interact (like shopkeepers), but who can not join the party as they do not have the necessary equipment-based images. Specs: There are 20 large images, same size as PCs. Poses: Fortunately, there aren't nearly as many poses as for NPCs. These should take a lot less work. The first pose is again the passive pose, facing NE, NW, SW, SE. There is no separate "wearing armor" or "unarmored" pose set. The second pose is the "on guard" pose, which occurs when the party enters fight mode. The third post is the attacking pose. The fourth set is a seated pose, this is one of the major differences between NPCs and monster pics. The fifth set is the death sequence. Again, creatures die facing the NE. And again, smaller images are necessary for the map. Only four are needed, as there is no distinction between wearing armor and not. *** Monsters: Definition: Monsters exist solely to be killed, and should be used if the party has no need interact with these creatures. Specs: There are 12 large images for each monster, by far the smallest. The images face NE, NW, SW, SE as always. Sizes remain the same. The first set consists of a passive set, or perhaps an "on guard" set, depending on the whim of the artist. The second set consists of an attacking set. The third set is the death sequence, again facing NE. And as always, the creature has 4 smaller graphics used on the map. Hope this helps get things started, and please ask for any clarifications needed. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

I've not had any problems with XP and Geneforge, but I haven't played it excessively on XP. It sounds like you probably are having a driver problem of some sort.
