What have you been reading lately? in General
Tyranicus Law Bringer Member # 6489	written Saturday, June 16 2007 19:20 Profile Homepage #423 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: I know of it, but I've never actually read it. Maybe I will. After The Man in the High Castle I seem to be somehow reluctant to try more Philip K. Dick. I think it's some combination of fear that the next book of his won't live up to that one, and fear that it will. You didn't like The Man in the High Castle? I thought it was really good. Although, I really like alternate history. -------------------- "Dumbledore returns from the dead and declares it to be hammertime, Harry proceeds to break it down, Voldemort is unable to touch this." —Dintiradan Spiderweb Chat Room Avernum RP • Summaries • OoC • Roster Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.

Geneforge 4 Operating System in Tech Support
Tyranicus Law Bringer Member # 6489	written Saturday, June 16 2007 11:09 Profile Homepage #7 quote: Originally written by Andrea: GF4 probably requires at least Windows 2000 because (and this is a guess) it probably needs a version of DirectX not supported on previous iterations of the operating system. I highly doubt this, since Directx 9.0c is available for 98 and ME, and I find it unlikely Jeff would upgrade to DirectX 10 just for fun, expecially since it had just come out when GF4 was ported. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

N:R Not working at all&Laptop exploding battery in Tech Support
Tyranicus Law Bringer Member # 6489	written Friday, June 15 2007 17:16 Profile Homepage #5 The version for older Macs is not for OS 9, but for PPC OS X. Some systems don't like the Universal Version very well for whatever reason. Anyway, you need 10.3 or later to run N:R, so I hate to tell you this, but you're out of luck. Also, why in the world are you running 10.0? Apple released 10.1 as a free upgrade to all 10.0 users. (Not that that helps you much for N:R, but it should still be done due to all the myriad instabilities and issues with 10.0). If your Mac has USB capability, it can be upgraded to 10.3. You can buy 10.3 discs on eBay for $50 or less. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

Roman Singleton Question in Nethergate
Tyranicus Law Bringer Member # 6489	written Wednesday, June 13 2007 03:24 Profile Homepage #1 I startd out with 3 levels of War and Healing and gradually built it up to 8. If you don't mind killing an inncent, you should wait til you are done with the FDaerie Bazaar quests and kill Raven. He drops an All Circle Scroll that boosts, War, Healing, Beast and Craft by 1 point each. Before that, you should go to Hagfen to buy 1 level each of Beast and Craft. THen use the Rod of Safe Descent from Galag-Trav to go down the huge cliff in the Circle Warrens to get the Beastmaster Bracelet, which gives you thes levels of Beast Circle. Finally, if you kill Sleek, the hags will reward you with eithe a Beast increase or a Craft increase. I would go with Craft, since you'll already have 4 levels of Beast. As for whether or not spells help, Lance of Fire, Battle Rage, and Mild Healing are incredibly helpful at the beginning, and you can start with all of them. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

Vista Compatible? in Tech Support
Tyranicus Law Bringer Member # 6489	written Tuesday, June 12 2007 07:40 Profile Homepage #1 I have had no issues running any of the Exile games or Nethergate in Vista. However, if you are experiencing difficulties, you won't get much help from Spiderweb.

After Day 180 in Nethergate
Tyranicus Law Bringer Member # 6489	written Sunday, June 10 2007 19:08 Profile Homepage #6 I resent that! First off, there hasn't been a Misc forum on Spidweb since long before I joined.

So I'm wandering about the valley waiting for energitic herbs to grow every game day since that is the limiting factor in potion making.

Avernum 1 2 and 3 speed in Tech Support
Tyranicus Law Bringer Member # 6489	written Tuesday, June 5 2007 04:29 Profile Homepage #1 When the Intel version of Tiger was updated to 10.4.8, something was modified in Rosetta which made the Avernum games terribly slow. Jeff is aware of the problem. Whether or not we will see Universal versions of the Avernum trilogy remains to be seen. In the meantime, the games run fine in emulated Windows under Parallels or VMWare, and you can always run them in a BootCamp partition.
