Might have done somthing out of order (spoilers) in Avernum 4
jayc Apprentice Member # 4362	written Saturday, January 14 2006 10:58 Profile #3 I'm stuck in a slightly different way. I got to the scree caves via a passage, not through the Fort Emerald gates. I killed the dragon, and also got the crystal box. When I went back to the passage, the gate was closed with the wheel on the other side. Contrary to several other people's experience, I cannot dispel the barriers at Fort Emerald. I found the crown symbol scratched in the rock, but there does not seem to be any way of opening the hidden passage that is apparently there. So I seem to be stuck in the scree caves with no way out. Is there a way? I guess I just want to know if it is possible, I don't want a hint, at least not quite yet. Posts: 16 | Registered: Friday, May 7 2004 07:00
NPCS joining party, not working for me. in Blades of Avernum Editor
jayc Apprentice Member # 4362	written Tuesday, July 6 2004 09:53 Profile #3 The docs say it has to have a unique character script in order to join the party. I dunno why it behaves that way without it, but that may be the problem. Posts: 16 | Registered: Friday, May 7 2004 07:00

Calls that we wish existed (part two) in Blades of Avernum Editor
jayc Apprentice Member # 4362	written Monday, July 5 2004 11:58 Profile #7 Something I mentioned some time ago; the ability to change player character's graphics, temporarily of course. It would make some of the stories I want easier to tell, and I think better overall. Posts: 16 | Registered: Friday, May 7 2004 07:00

Help with a monster script...? in Blades of Avernum Editor
jayc Apprentice Member # 4362	written Wednesday, June 30 2004 05:33 Profile #1 You need a 5th argument in put_effect_on_space(), the mode. Maybe that is it. Posts: 16 | Registered: Friday, May 7 2004 07:00

Changing the starting year in Blades of Avernum Editor
jayc Apprentice Member # 4362	written Monday, June 28 2004 12:53 Profile #1 No there isn't, but you can turn off dates altogether by setting the day to -1. One thing that occurs to me, but I doubt that it would work, is to set the day outside the normal limits of 0 to 279 (or -1) to see if you would get year + int(day / 279).

Another Bug in Blades of Avernum Editor
jayc Apprentice Member # 4362	written Monday, June 28 2004 09:45 Profile #1 Need more details. What is the character script? You could try sticking in char_attitude_to_char() or get_attitude() to check if the guard is friendly, neutral, hostile A or hostile B. I'm not sure how the intricacies of attitude work. Maybe somehow your party's attitude is set to something it shouldn't be??? The behavior you describe would be the case if your party appeared to the guard to be attitude hostile (A or B same as guard) and when Capture Mind was cast, the guard changed to friendly.

NPCs (And displaying my limited intelligence) in Blades of Avernum Editor
jayc Apprentice Member # 4362	written Monday, June 28 2004 08:10 Profile #9 Did you do void enable_add_chars(short can_add) in this town? <edit> Ah, I see you did. <another edit> This call is not in Babysitting t3lair.txt, which works, so it is probably not necessary. I am not sure if that is necessary, but it is in the Sweetgrove init. The docs say, "A character who joins the party must have its own script." See t1Bruning.txt. The call is used as a comparative in Bruning's case, so that should be okay. [ Monday, June 28, 2004 08:48: Message edited by: jayc ] Posts: 16 | Registered: Friday, May 7 2004 07:00

Numbers of dialog nodes in Blades of Avernum Editor
jayc Apprentice Member # 4362	written Monday, May 10 2004 07:57 Profile #4 Thanks. I have a minor complaint that 200 dialog nodes seems rather few to develop enough interesting personalities in a large town. On the other hand, if one expects the player to work through all the nodes, as a thorough player might do, more nodes could seem tedious. Do you find that limit restrictive?
