Frostbite problem in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Tuesday, April 3 2007 13:07 Profile Homepage #12 Well clearly it's a graphics problem, and frankly I can't do anything about it. You had the same problem with TV apparently, I don't know why you're having souch troubles with this. Perhaps you should download the windows version and convert the graphics yourself using Niemand's graphic adjuster 2. As for the sleeping problem, if you talk to Orrin and Fabian you can sleep. Make sure to hit all the topics of conversation. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot? Posts: 900 \| Registered: Monday, August 8 2005 07:00
Frostbite problem in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, April 2 2007 14:37 Profile Homepage #10 As far as I know, the crash only happens at that one spot. Then again, nobody using a magic wielding character has ever made it past that point, so far all I know it could do it again later. My advice-- save before you restore anything. Or even better, restore them when the scenario is over. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

Info on Upcoming Scenario in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, April 2 2007 14:34 Profile Homepage #20 Spell point bonus. I had a feeling the screenshots were real-- the first one at least is definitely too good to make for a joke. The last one is....... well I'm just glad it's now actually confirmed that it's fake. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

Frostbite problem in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Sunday, April 1 2007 17:12 Profile Homepage #8 Version 1.0.2 is now out, it can be downloaded from my site or SV. I believe it fixes this problem (at the expense of simply removing all your character's spells. FB already screws with your party so much I figured I might as well) Still, this bug seems completely random-- I never check spell levels in the entire scenario, and have no idea why having spells would make the scenario crash, or why it would choose this spot to consistently do so. As per usual, I blame Jeff. :D So yeah, I think its fixed. If anybody experienced this problem with the new version, or if any designers have the slightest idea why this happens, please speak up. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Specific requirements for custom graphics? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Sunday, April 1 2007 17:08 Profile Homepage #2 The dpi and bit requirements are a bit more flexible than that makes it sound. I know 24 bit graphics are fine. 96 dpi graphics work also (not that I know what the hell that means.) Terrain/floor sheets can be multiple rows of 10 (at least 100 icons, possibly more) but item sheets can only have one row. Dialog pics are supposed to be 64x64, and preferably they should be to make it look right, but really they can be any size so long as they don't spill off the screen. You can't, however, put multiple pics on one sheet-- each dialog pic needs its own sheet. That's about all I know about graphics. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

The Second 1/10 Contest has officially begun! in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Sunday, April 1 2007 10:29 Profile Homepage #42 We currently have six potential entries. Two were made in one day each, one was made by Slack, and another can be beaten in under four minutes. To keep this from being a two-horse race, I'd like to see the deadline pushed back two weeks. We need judges, and we need some extra scenarios even more. Unless somebody objects, I think Bain should start a judging topic here at spiderweb, and give some extra time to anybody who's near finishing. I know Ephesos is close, but I'd like to know who else might have an entry. Anybody?? -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

Stairway Released! in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Saturday, March 31 2007 18:46 Profile Homepage #2 The scenario is unbeatable as it stands. For some reason you messaged out the call to give the party the ring the second time (when it falls from the air.) I took the liberty of un-messaging it in my version, and proceeded fine (although the ring appears as an 'Unused' for some reason, although it does have the proper graphic, the name and description are messed up.) -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Saturday, March 31 2007 14:09 Profile Homepage #5 I think I know what's causing this now, and it doesn't have to do with items. Before I release a fix, however, I'd like to ask you two (and anyone else who's experienced this problem) about the character you were using. By any chance was he a spell caster? (Or any other character with lots of spells, or high level spells) -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

Frostbite problem in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Thursday, March 29 2007 12:20 Profile Homepage #2 This is a known error, and is mentioned in the Readme. I have no idea what causes it, except that it only happens to non-prefab parties. If you have a save file from before you are stripped of your weapons (whacked and thrown in jail), load it and dump all your gear. Hopefully it'll allow you to proceed. It seems that this 'little' error is getting in the way of multiple people, so I'm going to do a bit more research into this. Hopefully I can have a better answer for you soon. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot? Posts: 900 \| Registered: Monday, August 8 2005 07:00

Scripting issues in Blades of Avernum Editor
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, March 26 2007 15:46 Profile Homepage #13 You're missing a semicolon where you're setting those variables..... Did I mention that the "garbage;" method isn't foolproof. :P Edit: And now for a more useful and didactic comment; BoA's error system really doesn't like missing semicolons, basically it doesn't figure out that they're missing until the next semicolon (and thus the next line of code) is run and it realises that what it just saw makes no sense. Hence strange line numbers. [ Monday, March 26, 2007 15:49: Message edited by: Lazarus: ] -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

Scripting issues in Blades of Avernum Editor
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, March 26 2007 15:16 Profile Homepage #11 That call is definitely fine, I put it into a scenario and tested it. I'm guessing there's something wrong with the conditional before it. I usually check that line errors are correct by inserting a line where I think the error is, typing "garbage;" and seeing if the game comes up with the error in the same line. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Scripting issues in Blades of Avernum Editor
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, March 26 2007 14:46 Profile Homepage #9 print_str(string) doesn't need a number. Change that to print_str_color(string,color) and it'll work (although it'll print in blue) As for the damage_char call, this is confusing to me. It looks alright, are you sure the line number is correct? -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

Scripting issues in Blades of Avernum Editor
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, March 26 2007 12:24 Profile Homepage #4 The level checking script is flawed, one because it's just hard to read, two because it doesn't account for party size. This is how I'd write it: As for the damaging item, I'd suggest you make the change Nioca suggested, and also increase the timer to greater than 100, and probably with some kind of cooldown. So... With cooldown being a varialbe that's incremented in the start_state, and is reset whenever the random number comes up greater. Edit: Also, for future reference, && or \|\| statements need extra parentheses around them, that's the cause of the script error.

It is already out. quote: If I don't know that, I can't download it because it probably will not be the right level area for my group. There is no level requirement, and there is no group. Frostbite uses a prefab singleton. quote: Otherwise I have wasted times and PC space. Even if level were a problem (which it isn't for FB) you just leave the scenario in your folder until you are the correct level.

Any testers who haven't reported yet, or have another report I haven't seen, should send it in soon. If you haven't finished, then send me what you have. By the way, the newest version that I sent out is crap-- don't bother with it. I've since tested it myself and made (I think) all the necessary changes.
