help with brigan's hideout in valley of dying things in Blades of Avernum
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Sunday, January 15 2006 14:56 Profile #6 If you don't have a Mac or you're too cool to play in windowed mode, here are instructions: 1) Enter bandit hideout. 2) Continue along the only path you can, being shot at as you go. 3) Reach end; notice the only unobstructed way to continue is to go back outside. 4) Enter the small western side tunnel; the wall in your way is a secret door. 5) Pass through a similarly disguised door to the south. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 \| Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00
Geneforge 1 (GF1) can't enter school in Tech Support
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Sunday, January 15 2006 14:49 Profile #2 I think that the "bug" might be that your shaper is arriving in the zone very close to the edge, and so when, for example, another creation moves to get in formation, your character is pushed back and into the edge of the zone. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 \| Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00
I Want to Crush Your Dreams. in Blades of Avernum

I mean, they're not going to bag it and wander around with it, are they? Unless you're saying that you'd like to contain things in the stew, as if you were hiding things in them. Like, say, a key. But what adventurer has time to pan through a pot of broth looking for rings and keys?

BoA Crashes: Magus of Cattalon in Blades of Avernum
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Thursday, January 12 2006 20:07 Profile #19 I had that problem when I entered town from the west, but not any other direction. I've already given up, though; I'm not redownloading that game, even if I can play around the bug. Moral of story: don't enter town from west. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 \| Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00
GF3: Double code? in Tech Support
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Thursday, January 12 2006 16:58 Profile #5 quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: Are you saying I can get a registered copy of Avernum 2 for Windows after getting a copy for a Mac without paying another 25 bucks? That sounds too good to be true. With the money Dikiyoba can save, Dikiyoba can afford to buy another Spiderweb Software game. Edit: Sig change. Aha! You have failed, imitator! Nobody except Alorael can keep it up forever. And yes, he is indeed saying that. Although in MagmaDragoon's case, can't you just copy the registered game's preferences file over the unregistered game's file? I thought that stored the code and registration number? -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 \| Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00
Resistance is futile in SubTerra

You're really stretching it when you say that this board has requested assistance. As well as saying the annexation was invited. I only played SubTerra for a few minutes.

editing stuff in Geneforge Series
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Thursday, January 12 2006 14:48 Profile #4 If you tell us exactly what you want to edit and a point in the game where it occurs, some of the BoA designers could at least try to help you. But there's really no step-by-step guide to editing things in general. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 \| Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00
Demons or not? in Blades of Avernum
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Thursday, January 12 2006 14:40 Profile #10 If someone classifies efreeti as demons, it's probably because of propaganda and the interpretation of all Middle-Eastern mythological creatures as "demons" by people who were less than informed. Now for the Rakshasa... Since TM has based work on the subject, I'm happy enough to not care in this medium(BoX). However, in the original myths they are tiger-demons. -Aran: You are a bad person.

Designing towns. in Blades of Avernum
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Wednesday, January 11 2006 16:07 Profile #12 This is sort of a character/semi-plot suggestion more than a town design suggestion, but only barely. Anyways, not all people in town are inn keepers and fletchers. Some are physicians (not healers). Some are retired; some are barbers; some are actors; some are furniture makers; some are rug salesmen. The list goes on and on. Not all characters have to sell something; however, it's still a good idea if they at least have something relevant to say to the party. EDIT: Just thought of something else. The commerce centers of most modern cities are grouped closely. Usually, they're all trying to get as much visibility as possible. Place shops close together and near a high-trafficed area; major intersections and the centers of town, for example, should probably hold a decent number of shops.

Move mountains spell in The Exile Trilogy
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Sunday, January 8 2006 19:25 Profile #6 The nameless mage is the start of an artifact quest. I believe it was the Ring of Endless Magery, although I'm not sure. The guy who was looking for the nameless mage was a woman, actually. She wanted to become more powerful and so she was hoping the nameless mage would teach her. She's not very helpful, though; she keeps on quoting the mage as a way to avoid actually talking to you. Anyway, that's who I think you're talking about. You're kind hard to understand, Capt. Obvious. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 \| Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00

Designing towns. in Blades of Avernum
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Sunday, January 8 2006 08:24 Profile #3 Also, each building doesn't have to be the a square or rectangle. For example, buildings in the town of Sweetgrove have a circular (or octogonal, depending on your imagination) shape. There are enough ways to design buildings to keep you from reusing ideas (at least in a short scenario). -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 \| Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00

Geneforge 4 in General
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Saturday, January 7 2006 17:20 Profile #2 Okay, here's the complete sequence of relevant events: 1) This topic is started. 2) A pointless duplicate topic is started. 3) Inthrall, in this topic, referrs all posters to this topic. 4) chico posts in this topic anyway, disregarding Inthrall's post. 5) chico starts this topic. So as I see it, there's really no stopping him.

My aMAZEing idea... in Blades of Avernum Editor
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Saturday, January 7 2006 09:05 Profile #15 Just a suggestion adding combat- we already have a boar graphic, why not use a slight modification? You don't have to stick straight to the legend of Thesus, you know. And then you can just plop them in certain areas. As for a minotaur graphic, you could blow up and add horns to this graphic. It might need to be tinted red, but that's easy.

Need a translation in Blades of Avernum Editor
John S Agent Member # 5814	written Friday, January 6 2006 16:04 Profile #4 quote: Originally written by Kelandon: It comes from "ballista" — a perfectly normal Latin word (of Greek origin, from the verb "to throw") — and the suffix -icus, which is a normal Latin suffix for forming words that mean "related to [x]." Presumably that -icus suffix is more or less equivalent to the English -ic suffix. I mean, the word would mean, "relating to ballistas," which is not quite as general as "ballistic" in English, which is why the first translation is preferable. Oh yeah... I forgot about the ballista. All I could think of was modern ballistics. I even checked Wikipedia to make sure I hadn't missed something. :mad: Anyway, shouldn't it be ballisticus? -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 \| Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00
