Help make Geneforge/Avernum XFire supported! in General
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Saturday, November 17 2007 02:26 Profile Homepage #5 quote: Originally written by Dintiradan: Do you have to modify the original application to work with XFire? Or do you have to develop an XFire 'wrapper' for each application? No. Looking into Xblaze, the third-party Mac Adium plug-in, will make it all a lot clearer since you can more easily see what files the program uses to track games. Basically, you have the Xfire program and a list of games that Xfire supports. Xfire looks in that list and compares it to the games you got on your system, after it has scanned your HD for games. The games it finds it puts in a seperate list. Then, whenever you start one of those games, Xfire notices it and changes your in-client status to the name of the game you're playing, including the icon of the game. Basically, what you will need to do to get Xfire to recognize Avernum games, is to enter Avernum's details in Xfire's list of games. However, I would have no idea what those details should be, and I figure it is something only the Xfire team knows how to do (since otherwise others would have done it too, most probably).

Oh god no, not again!? We gave power to the people already several times, and what happend? - WO I; - WO II; - Soviet Union and the list goes on. Is that really something to be proud of? No, I think not. The masses are dumb. Usually a bunch of freaking idiots. When one person says he will help them, they all run after him and lick his royal behind. That said, I don't think the protest would have been a succes. This is the usual stuff between children who don't really know what they want and don't know what's best for them, and the grown-ups who do think they know what's best for their children and therefor cancel the nice stuff. Point is, that nice stuff that you mentioned just doesn't really belong in school. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Tactics - What Works For You? in Avernum 4
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Sunday, November 11 2007 23:50 Profile Homepage #6 My tactic usually consists of gour different steps: - Bless, heal, shield and haste: Bfeore I go into any combat with some sort of boss, no matter how strong he is, I shield, bless and haste my party. It always makes fights go quicker and easier and I love it - it saved me more than once. - Warriors in front, casters at the bacj: I realize this tactic is sort of old, but hey, it works. Sometimes I really benefit from this by standing in a corner of a cavern. The casters are then at the back, and the warriors sort of surround them. My mage will always be in the corner then, as he deals the most damage and needs to be protected at all times. [spoiler]The reason for this, is that I noticed that baddies go to hit the one that damages them the most[/spoiler]. Since that's the mage, he stands in the corner. The warriors will then cover up my casters, and as soon as the baddie is hit by either mage or priest, it will run towards them but won't have enough AP to really attack. It will be standing next to priest, at that point. Then I swap the piest with a warrior, and again my casters are covered, making the baddy run back and lose AP so he can't attack. It will go like this until he is dead. - Now it depends on the creature exactly how I attack. Some creatues are absolutely inept when it comes to ranged stuff. This means they usually just have no ranged attack and can only bite or stab or whatever. If that's the case, I shoot at them with either missiles or I attack them with spells. I then wait until they come in my direction so I can slay them with melee. It's different with creatures that do have a ranged attack. This ranged attack, provided that it's not spraying poison or whatever, rather an attack that can immediatly damage me (such as a fire bolt or smite), is usually worse than that same creature's bite or stab. The wyrmkin is a prime example of this. They usually spray poison or acid. They won't do that when they are attacked by a melee attack. In that case, they'll attack what's next to them, which is very usefull. In these sort of cases, I go with my warriors to stand next to them immedtialy. My casters will then attack them with fire bolts and smite. - If it doesn't work, run! I know, this sounds like I'm a total coward, but it's a fact: Avernum 4 gives you the possibility to lose all but one partymembers, run back to a town and get all health and partymembers back. Below Avernum 4 this was impossible unless you had sombody to resurrect you partymember in the town you're in. In Avernum 4, this is no longer necessary: pass gates, approach a major town or kneel at an altar and everything's okay. Because of this, you can start a fiht, kill some people, run back to town and come back later. You'll be alright and you'll slowly win the battles. That's a what all my tactics are about. Sure, I have more, but these are concerned with the third tactic I desscribed: they are very creature specific and is mostly about what spell to use. So there you are. Have fun and I hope it's usefull to anybody. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.
