quote:you mean, normal plain scripts which I can look in like in BoA, or scripts that are totally different than BoA? And, the way you said it, it sound (to me) like something bad. is it? EDIT: I saw somebody holding a hole story on that he thinks that everybody finds the plot more important than the gameplay (no offence). That's not true. the gameplay was the reason I hate geneforge, not so much the plot. Avernum I liked because of the gameplay, less becasue of the plot.

What's the difficulty anyway about Vahnatai in your party? i'm making a pc graphic at the moment for someone. he says it can work with a premade party. so what's the difficulty? I assume you can take a vahnatai graphic from the game's resources, modify it a bit, and there you have your own vahnatai party! Anyway, i mentione this before, but nobody seemed to have said something about it, how about grah-hoth coming back again for revenge? he id a demon, a chief demon, so he can make all these strange monsters. -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).

Wow. i read everything you wrote there, and was amazed. You really did research before making the scenario. i can respect that. However, I still didn't play, but I'm very anxious to do so. All I hear about it is how great it is. Not only would i like to play it for fun, but also to see how you construct your plot and scenario. Not to copy you, or something, just to see how one of the best scenario makers I know does it. I think I'll just create a high level party and start the scenario. That's the only thing I found less about Bahssikava: The extremely high level party you have to have before you can play it. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

It had to do with the call set_town_visibility and the town hidden field in the town details window. After multiple checking in the editor docs, i finally day the culprit. It appeared I forgot that to hide the toen you set 1 in the town hidden field, and not 0 or -1 or whatever, and while using the call set_town_visibility its exactly the other way around: you use 1 to make it visible and 0 to make it unvisible. Its a very stupid mistake to make, and i made it once before. That's why I don't understand that i made it a second time. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

There's one idea that really appeals to me. i think that's also the idea jeff probably has (at leat I hope so). After many years of fighting, the avernites can rest. Some move to the surface, some stay in the caverns. Some surface people go to avernum. then, instead of the normal empire decay we saw in the last four Avernum games, aAvernum is starting to decay. This time however, its not the Empires fault but somebody elses fault. Who's it is, we shall see in avernum 4. -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).

Why do so many people think the Vahnatai are in the lead this time, like in Avernum 3? Couldn't there be other races that are very powerful? Somebody already mentioned the sliths, why not them. They are very strong foes? ( :D Very good, you who mentioned them!) Why actually not the Nephilim, or a stronger race (like in the Scenario I'm making: Some sort of cat folk is in the sort of lead. OOPS! I didn't want to say that...)? I think there are probably many more races or being that can do this. How about Grath-hoth (or however you spell it)? He is a demon himself, isn't he? he can make all these strange monsters that come to towns and attack at will. I think we should be a bit more broader in this discussion, and not immediatly take the Vahnatai as probably in the lead. There are many more who could have a crudge against Avernum or the Empire (the dragons aren't to pleased with the Empire too, you know)> -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).

Hate going back again to school. But bow I did have my first day of school I'm getting in the mood. I finally got to pick things I like, and not what I HAVE to do. Like geography. Gosh, I hate that. Now I don't have to do that anymore. I like my school, but some more vacation is always welcome (vacation in which I can hopefully finish my scenario that's now come to a stop with school coming). -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).

That wil still be in a long time from now, I'm afraid. It will ceratinlt take an other three months, because of school starting now. In eight weeks or so I've vacation and I might have time to do something about it, but as I still need to make about a quarter of the scenario scripts and still design some towns and complete the existing town with special nodes, I think you can count about four to five months untill it will really be ready - for testing. Becasue then there will also be a period of testing the scenario. So you can say it will take a looong time until its really finished, but I'm getting there, slowly by slowly. I'm thinking everything through, looking if it makes sense, and I'm trying to be a bit original. But that's hard. I hope this answeres your question. Now you can also make an estimate of when you could use the graphics: in about eight months (or longer). I'm glad, though, to see that somebody is interested in this :D [ Thursday, August 25, 2005 06:22: Message edited by: Thralni, emperor of Riverrod ] -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

I'm not a star with these things, but as they don't even come up in the editor, I suspect you put it in the wrong file. These item, terrain etc. definitons, should go into the scenario data text file. For example: my scenario FILE is called: "rivers.txt". My scenario DATAFILE is called: "riversdata.txt" (so make a file which has the same name as the scenario text file, but put "data" behind it). Are you sure you made the last file and put the item definitions in it? if this doesn't work and you did create the file and everything's all right, the editor should give an error, saying what's wrong. I suggest first trying with the data file, and then see if you get errors. (By the way, are you usinbg a Mac or Windows (it doesn't matter, I'm just curious)) [ Wednesday, August 24, 2005 07:05: Message edited by: Thralni, emperor of Riverrod ] -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Its not I think that most of us really hate it all, i think that there will be many good things too, also the speculations that it will be some monster plague again can turn out to be interesting. The "again" part actually isn't really appropriate, is it. We had Avernum 1,2,3 and BoA, and only in Av 3, there were monster plagues. Also in the pre-made BoA scenario's I can't rememebr a monster plagues (only in Diplomacy with the dead there was an undead plague). What i hope, is that there will be some dilemma. i'll continue a bit with what was mentioned before: Empire against Avernum, no allies. what if you, a spie in the Avernite army, have been captured and The Empire tries to get you to work for them or something? Why should there actually be an other empire story. Why can't it be something completely different? how do we know that all these monsters have to do with the Empire or vahnatai. actually, when you think about it, it doesn't make any sense. I still am disappointed with the graphics. i hope jeff would AT LEAST make different character graphics, and not use these geneforge shaper things. -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).
