I have no idea what that error is or what it means, but I can think of some things that could be wrong. Try this: Numbering on text starts over at each node, so each one will have a text1. No break call necessary at any point. Not sure that a condition definition is necessary for each of these, but Jeff uses them for every node, so you might as well, too.

There's no Scry Monster like BoE. You can look at creature stats by opening up either corescendata.txt in the Blades of Avernum Files folder if it is a default monster or the scenario's custom objects script (ie stealthdata.txt) if it is a custom monster. There isn't any sort of description like what exists for items ("This is a dress. Sometimes women wear things like this"). If you want more detailed info, playing the Avernum Trilogy will tell you some of what you want to know. So, um, basically, not really. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

If you go through the corescendata files in the folder Blades of Avernum Files (corescendata2.txt has items) and match that to the docs under the heading of "Creating Custom Items," you can figure out what each of the items do. I don't know that a list describing them in words actually exists anywhere. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Hey, are you the guy who said he would judge for the Shark contest and then vanished into thin air? If so, and if you haven't let anyone know whether you're still doing anything or not, head back over to the Lyceum and post your intentions. Desperance is plenty friendly. You just have to have fairly thick skin for the occasional skirmishes. I haven't really had a chance to look around your site, so I can't say much either for or against it, but spelling "we're" as "were" is a major black mark as far as I'm concerned. The goal seems to be a decent one, except that SW General already does RPs, Desperance hosts (or hosted) the biggest and best RP (the Arena), Polaris has RPs also, and so does Chance, and... I think I need not go on. Still, if you can get it up and active, more power to you. *sigh* This post had little or nothing to do with the actual topic of the thread, but whatever. It's General. -------------------- Kelandon's Pink and Pretty Page!! (The home of BoA's HLPM v1.1!) Rate my scenarios!

It is rather astonishing how scenarios manage to survive. If people remember NK0P, they'll remember anything. After seeing more of Max Power's posts, I have to think that if anyone can make a collaboration work, MP can. However, that's still an if. As for the initial topic of this thread, I (obviously) have a scenario that I'm working on under the name The Slith Homeland (although that is subject to change). The premise is, well, the sliths are trying to get to their homeland through Lost Bahssikava. I have about nine towns almost done right now, and I'm not sure how much more there will be -- this scenario could go on for another twenty towns or just another one or two, depending on how I sketch out the rest of the plot. Having sort of lost Internet access temporarily (I'm stealing a friend's dial-up connection to post this) has allowed me to concentrate more on designing, so hopefully this scenario will be done before the month is over, but who knows. And I'm intending to do a slight revision of the HLPM to include some trial combats, to make the shops more obvious about what they're selling, and to incorporate users' feedback. That is, once I get some users' feedback. :P I'm looking to find out how well it serves its main purpose right now, which is to make parties for ZKR and DWtD. EDIT: And if you wonder about the lost_king trilogy, check out the Lyceum's CSR. Look at the lowest rated scenarios. The lost_king trilogy is in there.

I'm actually not one of the better players on here. TM (who goes by Machine Umsturz right now, but is recognizable by being member number 4), Drakefyre (who is obvious as the admin), and Thuryl (who has a custom title of "...b10010b..."), among others, know what they're talking about far more than I do, at least in terms of playing. I know some aspects of designing reasonably well, though. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Well, I was talking about a level 250 god party that had god weapons, too. They land lethal blows some unbelievable percentage of the time mainly because all of their equipment gives +25 to all skills, so really, they have Lethal Blow at almost 200 (and Strength, Melee Weapons, and Assassination at that level, too). In order to have a legitimate party with one character who has Lethal Blow at 15, if the character has distributed his/her skills into all of the useful fighter categories and not just in pursuit of Lethal Blow, I would expect that character to be about level 60 or 70. At that point I think one can reasonably expect to do damage in the thousands on occasion, although 30000 is more the domain of obscene god parties. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

If I remember correctly, you need to find the vahnatai and they need to tell you that the spiders have a cool stone thing before the spiders will say anything useful. To find the vahnatai, you have to leave through the south and go to the lower half of the school. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I just tried this, and the last one is an Invulnerability Potion recipe (not Elixir, but Potion). I added some recipes after that (17, 18, 19), and oddly enough, they showed up in the store, and I could buy them, but they were just the text strings that describe the potions, starting with the Healing Potion (so for 900, you can buy the text string "Recipe: Heals damage," which does nothing). This sounds like a tidbit for the next edition of "Things That Work." -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I think after some point Pathfinder stops being useful to increase, but I don't know what that point is. Lethal Blow above 15 or so is a bit excessive (30000 damage, anyone?), but I don't know that it stops increasing in power. With Magical Efficiency of about 30 or 40, Arcane Shield costs something like 3 spell points.

For Macs, you put the editor in HEIGHT mode and command-click to lower the height. For PCs, I imagine that you control-click or right-click or something like that. Ramps (or stairs, really) are terrains. In TERRAIN mode, terrains 289-296 are stairs allowing a character to go from one height level to another height level. (That is, unless you've changed these terrains from their defaults.) -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

For duos, I like a fighter with additional skills like Tool Use and a mage/priest. This didn't work out as well as I would've liked in BoA, possibly because I didn't have enough patience with it. If I were to do it over again with a duo, I'd probably use a fighter/priest and a mage/priest. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
