Is there anyway to add sound/music to a scenario maybe using the custom data file? Forgive me if it says this in the editor documentation, but im using a different comp right now.

Un ronron ronchonne, un ronfleur ronfle.
Un rongeur ronge, un roi règne, une orange roule.
Ça c'est la réalité.
Mais si le ronchon ronge, le ronfleur ronchonne,
Le roi roule, le rongeur règne
Et l'orange ronfle,
Ça c'est une autre histoire.

That's fine, I want to take away some annoying summoning spells with sorcerers because it quickly becomes a battle of who can summon the most creatures.

The picture is not blurry until I actually see it in ResEdit and the game.

EDIT: Also, if you use the call change_spell_level on a creature, can you just use it in the custom data script, or do you have to make a creature script?

If you don't evacuate people living in dangerous places (i.e. New Orleans, coastlines), many many people die. Ergo, if you were in a trailer home near the coast, you wouldn't be writing that message, so Im assuming that you live away from the coast.

I have 2 problems with the Intro graphics:
1) The bluriness
2) Actually pasting the graphic into ResEdit because ResEdit is in classic and you can't c&p stuff from OSX into Classic.

Yeah it is a dominant genetic disorder... I forgot :( .
The sixth finger is not very useful, because it sort of looks like it grows off another finger and is usually removed at birth.

Well, I'd rather work on this than some random scenario, but maybe I might do some small thing on the side... ;)

Okay next question:
I'm trying to load custom graphics into the game for an Intro graphic. I am using Mac OSX, and I have trouble copying my Photoshop Elements PICT file into ResEdit. I somehow managed to do it (Still don't know how), but whenever it appears in the Intro it is too small and super-pixilated (I reduced the size to 400x400 like reccomended in the Docs). Is there any easier way to do this?

EDIT:
Is there any call or script that removes a party from a horse?

Le Comte de Monte Christo or anything at all by Alexander Dumas, Lord of the Rings, Isaac Asimov short stories, Harry Potter, oh and "A Long Day's Journey into the Night" is an awsome play as is "The Lion in Winter." Oh and "Macbeth" is cool too.

What we have here is a serious case of OCD. Yes lets talk about how many fingers we have when it really doesnt matter and then talk about people who may or may not be canned for another few hours.

By the way I, like most people, have 10 fingers, but there is a disorder where you can have 6 fingers on each hand.
If we went by the reasoning that the thumb is not a finger, then neither would a "pinkie".

Boy am I a hypocrite.

Point of Fact: In New Orleans they DID have buses that people could take to leave. Also i'm mostly talking about people on the coast where 20% of the people refused to leave. The coast of Louisiana does not have many cities. Where there are no cities, everyone has cars. I am sure there are many people who didn't leave because they couldn't but there were also those who were like the villagers in the "boy who cried wolf."

I plan on making the outdoors interesting with many special encounters and such. Don't worry, anyone who plays this will be kept occupied.

Well, it's a little pet project of mine called 'Tales of the Leviathan." It's that dreaded scenario- an epic.
In other words, it has a huge outdoors, but I'm going slowly. Also everything is spread out not like some scenarios where everything is cramped into 1 outdoor section. Oh and it takes place in another universe (not Avernum) as you can tell by the mention of Elves.
In this scenario you're supposed to end up with a choice, either to be evil and fight the elves with some other rebels and the Supreme Evil Bad Guy (working name), or you can be all happy happy nice nice and join the Elves. I use a SDF to have a rating - "Elf Friendliness," and it shows how nice you are to elves. Some stores will check this and decide whether to sell you stuff.
Anyway, it's a long complicated scenario (or will be I just started it and scenario making at the same time).
As that good enough?

EDIT: Off topic but does anyone know a good screenshot capturer program for mac OSX? (Avernum screenies).

Yeah my code is messy, but the pauses are short, and they work to help the reader absorb the stuff. Also, its realistic; a comma signifies a pause and all except one of my lines has a coma at the end. Also, it's only 1/2 second wait.

Oh by the way, I have a mistake in the last lines with parameters in the spawn creature call it should be:
place_monster(21,38,236,1); I screwed up. I was wondering why it wasn't spawning a creature...
