Guys, here's another question about shops

If anything in the 5000s is a skill - what are priest and mage spells under? 6000s? 7000s? I just can't seem to be able to find out ANYWHERE¬!

YTou can make it an item which "casts" flight on you. It's one of the abilities somewhere in the manual/appendixes.

Okay. It's just that I noticed that in most scenarios nearly everyone has a personality (I don't have any), and was wondering if that's why my shops never work.

Thanks guys!

And I do know what VOID and SHORT mean, I just couldn't find/understand it in the editor manual. One last question - do you need a personality for when you set a character to become a shop person?

^_^ I think you've also gathered that more than half of us here are totally nuts! Also - A4 shuld be good, but what many people want (and I wouldn't mind seeing this myself), is a new patch for teh original EXILE trilogy, and then create an Exile 4, after Avernum 4 (or before it).

:D

Exile vs. Avernum in The Avernum Trilogy
Agent
Member # 4506
Profile Homepage #14
The Exiles are nice, I used to have them before I had Avernums, but the entire system is just too out-dated for decent play anymore. I'd think that if Jeff totally re-writes them (just with the same abilites etc.) then a lot more people would go back to Exile, instead of Avernum. Yes, Avernum lacks an awful lot of the spells that I enjoyed form the Exile trilogy and BoE, but that involves a lot more coding (obviously), and the game is still enjoyable even without it!

- Archmagi Micael

P.S> I'll leave you guessing which one I support! :D

Oh also, those marks are even more outdated than EXILE is!

Read the above^ I HATE SHOPS! , but I also need them, so I've got to ask you lot if you can help me. As most of you know, any scenario worth playing has at least ONE decent shop. So my problem is... How the HELL do you make shops????? Please give me some help here. And don't say try reading the manual, because I'll understand ANCIENT GREEK before I understand what it says! . So basically I'm asking for an online (posting) tutorial on shopping (making shops in BoA), or if somebody could just create a script for a trainer who teaches you Riposte and Anotomy for immens prices I'd also be happy (I mean that the characters in the game have to pay lots for the things, not me pay for the script!). But I'd still want that tutorial!

THANKS (If you help!)

Yeah, right - whatever! I played both sides. First I sided with the Vampire (Vahkoths), since my "Repel Spirit" spell was only level 3, then when I next played that scenario I sided with the Mayor (Maynard).

*IDEA* I think that the game should keep track of what scenarios you've actually played, and either 1) don't let you play it again, or 2) give a warning, telling you you've already played this, and ask for further confirmation.

Eagle1,

Here's a link to the download page; http://www.avernum.com/blades/scen_list.html

There aren't that many scenarios out yet (hopefully mine will soon be finished), so if you finish the ones up there you're going to need to either make your own, or wait for others to do so.

All you have to do is read the game manual. It tells you how to win the first scenario. And when you get to "A small rebellion", we'll be happy to help!

Skills Bug in the Avernum Series in Tech Support

Originally written by Dastal:

In some of the Avernum games, there is a bug where if you raise a stat to it's maximum (100 + modifiers) and then recieve a point in the stat from somewhere, you can then raise the stat above its maximum. Using this strategy, I have just gotten a game in Avernum 3 where I have 250 in almost all of the stats (singleton + knowledge brew + herb lore == teh roxorz!). With the editor, this is even easier. I haven't really tried to find a maximum, but it's above 500. I have seen this bug in Avernum 2 and Avernum 3. I also suspect, though I have no way of confirming my suspicions, that you you could train untrainable special stats buy managing to raise them to above 100, perhaps with 34 mind crystals. Chears!
There's a limit on it, I think, but it doesn't work very well, so the game just crashes if the limit is reached. Kelandon explains it quite well in his HLPM.

It's either the above two, or the fact that your editor itself has been corrupted. IF the editor is corrputed, you might want t re-download it from spiderweb. Sorry, that's all I can think of.

I accept that you are just giving "friendly" advice, but he's going to make it now, since he said he will. So really, mooning, grumping, and stropping like 2 year-olds about it won't make any differences. I know this will be a blow to some of you, but just simply get a life and grow up!

Avernum 4 in General
Agent

A4 - hmmm.

Probably not that good an idea. The scenario designers for one would throw a big baby tantrum, and others, as seen above, will just try throwing any old thing in to say it's crap. The fact is... It's Jeff's game, his world, etc, but we've all gotten so used to ASSUMING things about it, that we don't like it when people break our hallucinations.

That saying, you could have Avernum 4, in a similar vein to like a new type of Portal, which sends you back years and years and years, into the time when the Vahnatai lived on the surface. A game like that would start off based in the present, but would solve lot of un-solved quesions in the Avernum world. If so... Annoying A4-haters... STUFF IT!

AND he's saying that there's a new engine, which means that it most likely will be unlike anything we've currently faced. It could be exciting, or rubbish. Ofcourse, it would HAVE to be based similarly to the original Avernum controls, but it could just be a new upgrade. I mean, the Exile 1, Exile 2, Exile 3, and Blades of Exile all used different engines, as he learnt how to make them better and better.

Anyway, thought I'd contribute to this discussion, bring some sense back to it, so on. :D

I think what we all need reminding of is the fact that it isn't OUR world, we don't have any large part to play in it. I's Jeff's world, Jeff's choice what happens. We're just here for the ride :cool: .
