How do you know what number to put in the "Terrain picture" slot?

I am trying to make some custom graphics for my scenario. How do you do it? I don't understand what the readme file says. I have copied an original terrain file, painted over it, renamed it to the name of my scenario, put it in BLADSCEN, but when I open the editor, I don't see the graphics on the right, where you choose what graphic to paint with. Can anyone help me?

Town Layout in Blades of Exile
Shock Trooper

I am having a little trouble designing towns. When I design them, just about everything is symmetrical. Everything is even. That kind of bothers me. I can't really make interesting town layouts. Does anyone have any advice on town building? It also takes a lot of time... does anyone have advice for this?

I find it hard to actually follow a plot in a game. It just takes a really long time and I really don't have a lot of it. I can play a BoE scenario, but I haven't really tackled anything big.

But yes, BoE designers are definately better in storytelling. If you look at some scenarios, they make gameplay much better, considering the tools that the BoE editor gives. Like a day and night sequence, or the ablity to read books in TM's Bandits 2.

Creating New Editors for BoA in Blades of Avernum Editor
Shock Trooper
Member # 4942
Profile #26
For me, I would really like to design with BoA, and earn some respect out there, and most importantly, to make a good scenario. I am having some problems getting my copy of BoA, but it will (hopefully) come soon. I kind of got the BoE-node thing down, but I have not had the time to throw a scenario out there... maybe sometime in the future. I really want to design for BoA when it is still new and fresh. I am not really programming-savvy, so I have a feeling I will have a hard time with this scripting thing. Newbs like me will need some help to make scenarios, and like TM said, how can you debate NOT making a tool?

1. Where does Jeff get the music for the begginning of the games? I know on A1, and BoE that there is a really short little musical number. Does anyone know where he gets this stuff?

2. Does Jeff make his own graphics? Why doesn't he ask good graphic makers from the community to help out?

I dunno about A2 and A3, but the graphics in A1 were a little vague. I am playing the demo, to try it all out. It seems that the graphics are too much alike. I am fighting goblins and nephilim, and they really look the same, unless you squint. I would like to see graphics with a little more clarity.

A strange topic, for the neat freaks in The Avernum Trilogy

I also like being able to put stuff away in drawers and stuff. In BoE, (like a lot of games) you collect huge amounts of stuff. And you need a place to dump it. Sometimes, you are given a place in the beginnning of the game to store your stuff. But in one or two scenarios, you can actually buy houses, and store stuff in there. Though you really can't DO anything in your house, it still feels good.

I had the EXACT same problem on my old computer. I had windows 98, but it still froze. I talked to somebody... and they said it was the display drivers. I don't know if this is true, or if it will even help.

OK, I found the answer to your questions...

1) In order to play the boxes, you simply look at them. You don't need a special item. Just look at the boxes.

2) I think this is a bug. I don't think you can fix it. Sorry.

Hope this helps.

You have problably heard this before, from Kelandon or something, but when you post a question, try to use correct grammar so the people helping you can understand what you are trying to say.

I think it is the random people who assault. Most of these guys are really new and have a really small post count. I think there was one... Ravaged Soul or something that was bashing TM. He might have done some other things, I am not sure.

I think you should stop challenging TGM. If you continue, the almighty mods might can, or ban you. Right? Or am I just being a stupid newb?

OK, I am having problems opening AvernumScript. I download it from your site, unzip it to a new folder on the desktop, and I double click on the icon "AvScript v0.2 BETA". I then get a message saying this:

Run-time error '339':

Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or on of its dependencies are not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

What is this?

I if you could summon more monsters, I would like to see some control over them. I haven't downloaded or even played Geneforge, (I don't like downloading {takes too long} so I am just going to wait for the demo on the BoA disk) so I don't know if you can acutally control the creatures you summon. I think it would be really nice if you could switch between controling summoned monsters, and using a whole slew of them to fight battles. There are not really any big battles in any of the games. (as far as I know) None where you are fighting a hundred or so enemies.

Something that I would really like to see in an rpg, is a 3rd person view, but with a Mortal Combat- type fighting system. Kind of like GTA, but with an Avernum or fantasy storyline.
