Don't worry. You don't have to limit yourself to Avernum history. You just do as you like. That why custom scenarios are fascinating. :)

Just read the editor docs. You'll see it isn't that difficult. You just have to practice it a little bit.

Don't worry, if you don't know how to implement a specific feature, or something goes wrong with your script, you can always ask for help in this forum. :)

In the end, you'll feel more satisfied with your scenario, and you'll have enough experience with scripting to start another and even more ambitious scenario. ;)

I've been reading the editor docs, some tutorials and articles by fellow editors.

I have an idea for a scenario. It will be story intensive and I'm planning to make it short (in area/towns, just as in story lenght).

What I want to know is: does size matter? :D I mean, it would be easy for me to extend the story (and I'm not talking about just putting fillers), but that would mean more work and much more time developing. I'll be doing this for me, but I also want to make something that others enjoy, so that's why I want to know your opinion. :)

Follow the advices given by your beta testers. No matter what, this will be your worst scenario. Because your second one will be better, and so on. So take your chance to learn as much as you can in this first scenario. :)

Well, I'll post! :D

Just to say that people have to copy ALL content in the editor folder to the DATA folder. That way will work and you'll have the subfolder with sample scripts, etc. :)

Avernum 4 or Nethergate 2 in General

I would prefer a SF theme. But if I had to choose between those two... Maybe Nethergate 2, with Avernum's engine (or an improved version of it). Just because there's already 4 avernum games, plus the scenarios players will do. :)

Nethergate +/- Avernum (Special Guest: BoA) in Nethergate

Member # 4637

I prefer Avernum's dialogue system. :)

But I liked the fact that we could have two different starts. I don't know about the ending, as I just played the demo.

I love Ancient Rome. That's another good point about Nethergate. :)

But if I could chose which game Jeff is gonna do next, I would prefer an inovation. No nethergate, no avernum, no geneforge. A science fiction game! With an engine similar to avernum's. It would have towns, outdoors and outerspace! Humm... That would be cool and original. :)

Morrowind was a big disapointing to me.

After waiting 3 years, I just played the game 2 hours. Then uninstalled it.

No dialog (all generic for everyone, even main characters), all dungeons looked the same, mediocre combat system, etc.

Now that's a lot more helpful - especially since it's got a line counter. You should try THAT!

Crimson Editor Download Page :D :D :D

It's a nice editor. Someone already told about it in this topi, and it's in Spiderweb's links. But I think PN is a little bit more user-friendly (at least for newbies like me :D )

And it has a line counter too...

Anyway, both are very similar. And tell me if the color coding and the project folder feature don't help alot. ;)

Eh. I don't find this too useful. Colouring is helpful and the project feature could be useful I guess, but it doesn't do anything else I want it to. In particular, if you select a block of text, and press tab, it doesn't indent - it replaces the text with a tab character. Logical, perhaps, but I find it much more intuitive to press tab to indent a selected block than Ctrl-I or whatever weird shortcut key.

Oh, and if word wrap is on, it won't jump to lines correctly. Blech. Nor will auto-indent work correctly.

I'll stick with Textpad, thanks; it has shareware nag screens, but it's almost perfect for my uses. Find is mapped to weird keys, but other than that it's much nicer. It has colouring, too. Takes a small bit of fiddling to get it working, though; you have to make a new document class; Configure -> New Document Class, call it AvernumScript, use C colouring, and enable the class for *.txt files; then you have to go and delete *.txt from the Text document class to make it happy. Oh, and PC only, sorry Mac users.

Aham... There's an "ident" icon there (one to ident forward and another to ident back) :rolleyes: (look the icons to the right of the binocular, they're greyed out because there's no selected text)
