If you have to use "Pickup lines" at all, then there's something wrong with you. And they all change on who the other person is.

What sort of an Avatar is that?

ON TOPIC: If I put my avatar up here, you would probably need to be taken into Eye surgery (it's even worse on the eyes than Jade Wolf's)

I've got the demo of E2 on an old BoE disk. That should be version 1.0

I'll just check!

EDIT: Sorry - disk isn't old enough. It says version 2.0.1

Well, Okay then. I've nearly finished making the dialog compatible with MAC, and then if I could email one of you the scenario, and you could replace the pictures, and email me a zip file back. I won't open it, and just put it straight up onto the Web.

So I need a volunteer

EDIT: I've made the dialogue compatible with MAC, now I need someone who I can email the files, and who will convert the graphics into a MAC format.

Here,

Try this. I know that this font works, so maybe this will fix whatever problem you have.

I know, I've nearly done fixing the dialog for macs, but...

As Thuryl said, I can't convert the graphics pictures. If one of you lot can convert them into the MAC format, ZIP them, and email them to me, I can fix the dialog MAC incompatability, and it will be MAC usable.

So someone who can convert the graphics to MAC compatability, please email me!!!

Guys,

Considering that this Topic's changed somewhat into a Bush Karma discussion, I've re-named it.

I've now re-renamed it into the Karma and Bush, and also the WTC Topic, since we've meandered into that direction.

Well, we already have the wooden wall pictures. It can't be that hard to make floors which look like that.

That way you could have missions which you take a little rowing boat out of the main ship, and onto neighbouring islands.

Okay.

Go to your WINDOWS folder, and you should see a folder named "FONTS" in there. Drag and Drop your MAIDWORD font (the one in the game directory) into this folder. That will install it into Windows (it will not harm your system).

IF THAT DOESN'T WORK:

Try re-downlaoding the game. It's possible your installation file itself got corrupted or damaged while you were downloading it.

So uninstall your game, then re-download the installation file and install. It will hopefully work.

- Archmagi Micael

P.S.
OS does mean operating system, and the game folder is the program directory.

No. You can only be a member of ONE sect at a time.

Personally, I think the lot of you are dangerous rogues, and should be wiped out (as us shapers do to rogues).

I think you may have to talk to the Vahnatai in Gihkra after finding the evidence. Then you find that they move...

Undead Valley has been released for Windows users. If you're on Mac all you have to do is convert the graphics files to whatever you use.

Hope you will enjoy the scenario, and forgive any small mistakes you may find (but I doubt you'll find any).

DONT FORGET: This is my FIRST scenario, so it may not be that good. Anyway, Enjoy:

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/Micael%20456/BoA+Undead+Valley+Site/uv.html

Guys, if you get stuck, read the README!
It has a small FAQ walkthrough in it.

I have to agree.

While BoA is woefully lacking in decent spells, as you can tell by PRIEST SPELLS doing more damage than MAGE - WT...?

It makes up for in designing capabilities. I tried once (ages ago) to make a BoE scenario. The BoE designing system was so flawed that I had to scrap my scenario idea cause it just couldn't be done. Now I've finished Undead Valley, 1/2 way through The Maze, and working on another one (which will remain nameless for now) which will have stuff that only BoA can use.

BoE might have been better if it had been updated over the years, but it's just too far behind the times now.

Well, I've decided NOT to do it, and UV will be out this weekend.

There's really nothing wrong with it whatsoever, and my testers are all busy. If any more bugs are found, I will just release an update.

If you want to look at how I did it, just download Lord Putidus.

I was wondering wether I would ahve to do that. It's a complete swap of all of the PC pictures. That's a VERY big graphics file size, for a SMALL scenario.

Anyway, Can't say more about what I'm working on, though I have taken a few hints from your Bahssikava cut-scenes (fancy images etc). I'm also using a SDF txt file now, so I don't forget what Flags have been used or not.

Yeah. But if something's only for MAC, or only for WIN, it makes it useless anyway.
