that everything i change in the defaults won't do a change for others than me is clear.

and my graphic is so good!
ok, i use nearly the same for the main charakter as dilogue graphic, but they are slightly different. i couldn't decide, which one to use for the dialogue, so i thought, the other one would be good as scen icon.

can someone help me please?
i try to use my own custom graphic as icon for my scenario. whatever i try, it doesn't appear! i found nothing about this in the docs.
so, my graphic has 64x64 pixels, as recommended, i put it in my resource-file in resedit, gave it the sheet number 520 and told the editor to use sheet 520 for the scen icon. but it doesn't appear!

btw: the editor floor/terrain graphics are 16x16 pixels in rows of 10 with a 1pixel black frame.
so the row is 18x171 pixel.
edit: if it has one row with ten graphs. it can have more rows.

You need extra graphics for the editor. the graphics from the louvre are for the game itself and you write a begindefineterrain-thingy in the scenariodata-file. the graphics for the editor are much smaller and are defined there, too.

could look like this:

begindefinefloor 130;
import = 95;
fl_name = "letterfloor";
fl_which_sheet = 515;
fl_which_icon = 0;
fl_ed_which_sheet = 516;
fl_ed_which_icon = 0;

the last two define the graphic for the editor.
you find example of the graphics in Blades of Avernum files/Terrain Graphics

New Scenario: Death at Chapman's in Blades of Avernum
Warrior
Member # 4778

i'm glad to hear that others knew what the death charm is for, too.

but what's so difficult about this?
SPOILERS
melville is the only wizard left in that school. he thought, he was hiding and didn't realize, that he has already turned to undead. as long as he don't realizes this, he stays melville. when you use the death charm next to him, it hurts him, so he realizes, that he's undead and couldn't do anything against it anymore! it was just his imagination which kept him from the last step of being undead!

i directly played it. and i have to say: wow, it's a very good short-scen! i enjoyed it very much!
it's a good idea basing the story on some "riddles".

but i have some things to note:

!!!ATTENTION SPOILERS!!!

-the key for the doss is not visible in the special items
-malones house: you can grab the stuff in the box through the window
-in the school the game gets really slow! (think because of the many spawned creatures)
-when i use the death charm without knowing what it is for, the game says: "chapmans error: state not ended properly in line 11"
-there is a black hole in the room with the death charm (wall missing), so i tried to do something in this room, cause i thought it had something to do with the place where death comes from
-and please add:
cr_small_or_large_template = 1
for the undead melville, so he wouldn't turn around instead of dying
-last but not least what i ever say: cut scene text bubbles are too fast for a non-native english speaker

carry on!

i try to give my best! i do this all for the first time in my life (scenario design, graphic design, scripting) it's not as easy as i thought.

but i've made already two graphics (one item and a couple of floors) and working on the third (charakter).
i thought it would be best, to send them all together in one .sit-file.
do you need anything else? a thumb like the louvre or something like this?

can anyone tell me some more details about it? the olympia link doesn't work, so i can't find out more.
i only figured out, where i should send my graphics, but not in which format (gif/jpg...) and what happens to the graphics? are they published and shared?
