A3: What special metal does Carmine needs? in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, April 8 2007 18:11 Profile Homepage #5 quote: Originally written by The Gators Win it All....... Again: Mithral broadswords were awesome in E3, but I remember being somewhat disappointed by them in A3. Really? Great boosts, including an AP boost (all too rare in A3), and it does extra damage to undead. What's not to like? :P -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Scenario Designing in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, April 8 2007 11:42 Profile Homepage #3 Also, Muffin: Check out TM's newest scenario "Settlers" for a quick example of a very, very simple scenario. It includes documentation of how the scenario was created, and was designed with new designers like yourself in mind. Of course, half of TM's intent was to prove that you can do a scenario in a day.

Items on locations in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, April 6 2007 07:02 Profile Homepage #4 quote: Originally written by The Gators Win it All....... Again: perhaps the flags are just messed up. I bet this is it. Try it out with a fresh party, or manually reset the flag via character editor for whatever save you're using for testing. (It really helps to search your other scripts for places where you might've accidentally set one of those flags. That's happened to me a few times now.) -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

outdoor terrain modification in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, April 6 2007 06:50 Profile Homepage #11 ...that's just weird. Are you sure that none of your set_terrain/floor calls have a numeric typo? Also, how have you been testing this? Because I recommend re-testing with a fresh party, after you remove everything to do with flag (121,3). Then, I don't see why the START_STATE wouldn't work. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Echoes: Renegade: Profanus Pyre is an ******* in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, April 6 2007 06:45 Profile Homepage #7 Yeah, Thralni, Profanus is annoying, but he really isn't worth profanity. If he's really giving you trouble, then start off by turning down the difficulty. But as others have said, Radiant Shield is incredibly effective. More importantly, spread out your party members, because if I remember correctly, some of his spells are area spells. I can't remember if Slowing works on him, but give it a shot as well. Nothing grinds a custom script to a halt like not getting a combat turn. :D -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

Help with party in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, April 6 2007 06:41 Profile Homepage #4 The papers you're thinking of can be obtained from Pangle, a hermit who lives in a hut in the extreme southwest corner of the outdoors. Some arguing might be involved, depending on your tactics. And for the record, it's appreciated if you let us know which scenario you're talking about.

What's Wrong With My Dialogue? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, April 4 2007 22:20 Profile Homepage #7 quote: Originally written by The Gators Win it All....... Again: The docs say that personality is purely cosmetic, but actually it does serve a purpose. In windows BoA (my version at least) intro texts depend on the character's personality. So every character who uses an intro needs to have it's own personality (even different towns can't have the same one.) Apparently this isn't an issue on Macs, but you still should set personalitys so that windows players don't have this problem (Or at least so I don't have this problem. :D ) Well, it's still an issue with Macs. But I'm pretty sure that you mean the personality set via the editor. The personality spot in the dialog script itself means nothing. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, April 4 2007 06:20 Profile Homepage #8 quote: Originally written by Thralni: Ephesos: Before I did it as it is now, I had all the modifications in the START_STATE, which didn't work. In EoR it seems to be working fine, though. So you first put it in the INIT, which didn't work proparly, but when you put it in the START, it did work? If so, is there any real difference between our scripts? The difference is set_flag(121,3,1), and the corresponding get_flag call. If you just took those out, it'd work just fine. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

outdoor terrain modification in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, April 3 2007 09:22 Profile Homepage #2 Yeah, so I tried putting that in the INIT_STATE, but later found that said state doesn't trigger very reliably. So, it basically had to slip it into the START_STATE as well... otherwise, the terrain wouldn't look right after reloading a saved game or exiting a town. Also, just for the record, stuff like pause() and force_instant_terrain_redraw() don't work in the outdoors, at all. In short, the outdoors are weird. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

A2 Page from Garzahds tower. in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, April 2 2007 19:56 Profile Homepage #4 I think the sugar quest had a definite end in A2, just because there were only about two bags in the entire game. The records and food, I don't think they end. The portal quest sounds like it's more about the location of the portal, which would tie it to the Empire Archives. I haven't played A2 in a while, though, so I can't be sure. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. Posts: 4130 \| Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00
