Graphics request in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, September 30 2006 12:54 Profile Homepage #0 Alright everybody... as the November deadline approaches for this scenario contest, I've found my current hoard of graphics to be a bit lacking. So, what I'm looking for is a full-height tree, in the same style as those by Joaquin Soto. These are the original images, cleaned up a bit from their original messy jpeg format. So, if anybody can make a two-icon tree that resembles those (ideally, more than one), I'll be eternally grateful. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Special Item Problem in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, September 30 2006 12:02 Profile Homepage #12 Um... I think I know what's going on. If you've been using the same save game file to test the item each time, make a new one. Granted, this would mean a bit of extra work to get back to wherever the item in question it, but it should make the key show up. This happened to me once or twice in testing my stuff... had to leave some testing shortcuts embedded in early versions so I could skip around a bit. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

The priests bashed and Smited, while the mages made sure that Nociduas was Dazed every time his combat turn came around. When he's Dazed, he can't continue his summon or use a potion. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Cut Scenes in Blades of Avernum Editor

How have they made the scenes behave strangely? (I've never had problems with them.) I think it just depends on where the block_entry(1); is, because if it's used too early, then the party may not be moved into the spot correctly. Anyway, it was back when I was still trying to figure out cutscenes, so it was probably just my stupidity. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, September 25 2006 19:57 Profile Homepage #45 Hm... since this thread seems to have persisted quite nicely (read: I finally discovered it, and need to read everything again before commenting), I'll contribute. I've got two bits of writing here. The first is a story that I'm rather proud of, and I might go ahead and upload another that I had to write for the same class (come to think of it, I've got like two or three more). The second one... well, it was also for that class, but it was an odd assignment. In the end, it turned out like a piece of Spidweb fanfanfic, back before Aran became a mod (shocking that such a time ever existed). Bash away. :D -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.
