Scripting Problems in Blades of Avernum Editor
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Thursday, October 5 2006 17:57 Profile #5 Furthermore, line numbers should be counted with "word wrap" disabled. The error line was a major headache before I figured that one out. In addition to Kel's editor suggestion, I've had good luck using Editpad Lite. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Rats Aplenty Released in Blades of Avernum
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Thursday, October 5 2006 17:52 Profile #2 Bug - The grotto dialog involving the undead gentleman is forced, even when in combat mode. This causes unfortunate things to happen when the offer to "join" is tendered. Forcing combat to end prior to beginning the conversation, aside from being a more gentile form of communication, would stop that problem. Intended or not, the "knock, knock" door on the mansion effectively locks you into the house during unfortunate circumstances. It would seem to make more sense that in my haste to leave I would just knife the butler and run. But that's just my natural inclination in any circumstance. Also, it would be nice to use a dead_state inc(x,y,1) on the folks within the mansion to indicate that violence was afoot. I raised an alarm while leaving and didn't get caught, but was chastised by my employer. Aside from all that, I liked it. Still haven't managed to milk a cow, but that's just fine. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Helpful Scenario Tips... in Blades of Avernum

Helpful Scenario Tips... in Blades of Avernum
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Wednesday, October 4 2006 06:24 Profile #24 Originally penned by The Creator and stored at Spidweb's Avernum page quote: 10 DREAD DISEASES Below I list some of the many illnesses that plague Blades scenarios. Keep a vigilant eye out, so you may spot symptoms in your own work before it's too late. 1: Stupid Party Syndrome Scenarios affected by this condition force the party to do something really dumb simply to advance the plot. For example, in Echoes: Assault you have to attack a friendly fortress to complete the scenario, despite the fact that this is about the most illogical thing you could do. 2: Scooby Doo's Disease At the end of the scenario, everything slots together and someone explains everything that has gone on before, just like at the end of a Scooby Doo episode. This is usually followed by the big final fight. Look at Tatterdemalion for an example - this happens at the end of two of the three paths. 3: Verbal Diarrhea This very common ailment will cause characters - usually villains - to spontaneously spew exposition, usually for unreasonably protracted periods. See Spears. 4: The Plague Occasionally a scenario will suffer from body image issues and do it's very best to look exactly like Exile/Avernum 3. A very common symptom is monster plagues. See Wreck of the Slug. 5: Monty Haul Gut Simply put, this comes from way too much rich food, weapons, gems, etc. See nearly anything by Brave Sir Robin. 6: Delusions of Grandeur If you're making a scenario with the unregistered version and think it's so good that Spiderweb will give you a free registration for it and it might even win the contest, because it's really original and has custom monsters, and you have a big final showdown with Rentar-Inhro... you are already a victim. 7: Knocker's Migrane Players get severe headaches from repeatedly banging their heads against walls looking for secret passages. Spare them the pain - keep all your doors visible. Alternatively, play Quintessence and get a dose of your own medicine. 8: Weapon Envy Some designers just can't get it into their heads that size isn't everything. They automatically assume that bigger is always better, especially in relation to fights and weapons. Doom Moon II is a product of such thinking. 9: Insanity Pure and simple. If there is an insane character anywhere in your scenario, amputate him. It would have helped The Draining. 10: Linda's Condition If you are ever, ever tempted to insert a character controlled by demons, or who turns out to be a demon, or who has a fascination with demons, go lie down till the feeling passes. See (suprise, suprise) the Demon Island scenarios. "Deceased" is the future tense of "Diseased". Just thought you should know that. Please keep in mind that you are free to break any and all of these rules once you know why they exist. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Fun things to do in Avernum 4 in Avernum 4
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Sunday, October 1 2006 18:29 Profile #15 Nope, Ephesos got it on the first try. You need to carry all the rocks, minerals, bars you find for the entire game. This loads you down (a little), so make sure you have the correct (light) armor and weapon (bow) and that you know a few speed spells. Of course during the fights it is sensible to drop some rocks to get movement points. Otherwise you couldn't do anything, could you? Amateur geologists aren't real interested in anything except rocks, light, and caves. You should probably ignore all miscellania you run across, unless it is to be immediately equipped. That frees up more backpack for rocks. ;) -------------------- WWtNSD? Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

I've come up with the one plan. You must allow each registered user select the logo they wish to have displayed. The balance will need to see the Vahnatai Comb-over with Key by Alorael to entice them into registering and participating. This will free up ubb resources by removing the need for another stupid opinion poll. :) -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.
