Avernum 1 2 and 3 speed in Tech Support | |

I'm running the newest versions of the avernum trilogy on a Mac running 10.4.9, and the game speed is ungodly slow, even just moving my party takes a noticable amount of time. Is this something that can be fixed in any ways other than the settings in game, which help a little, but not as much as I'd like? Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

I know how to do this on a pc, since everything is stored in .bmp format, but it seems like the mac stuff is all in .dat files. Does anyone have these files to replace E1 and E2 graphics? Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

I have E1,2, and 3 registered on Mac OS 9, and want to move them to another computer, also running OS 9. I tried to just move the Exile folders, and that worked for E1, but E2 and E3 unregistered and they have new registration codes. Is there a file somewhere that I can transfer to fix this, or do I need to get new codes? Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

I was playing A4 and noticed (fairly quickly) that the expose active screen corners are still active while I play. I know I could disable these any time I want to play the game, but I was wondering if there was a way to disable these easily when I play? Edit: This holds true for G3 too, although not for G1 or G2.

I'm having the same problem, and I've been messing with the compatibility settings and can't figure it out. If someone who knows what the settings need to be could post how to get these to work, that'd be great. Thanks Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

Hmmm...It sounds like a glitch. That "shadowy figure" is important, and should appear in the form of a shaper at the NW table of the bar. If he's not there, there's a problem. Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

I really like that the canisters affect you so much. I also like the fact that for choosing a sect, it doesn't just say: there are the blank, blank, and blank: choose, like it did in G1 and G2. Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

Well, you can just go up and hit him: I did it with a drayk, a gazer, and a shaper. My drayk was pretty much useless, but it drew fire for a little bit. If you want to use the crystal, the controls are in the passage just to the west of the crystal with the red flashing crystal; it's just a lever like to open a door. Watch out though, the crystal will damage your creations quite a bit as well. Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

I just reached the geneforge, as a shaper allied with the rebels: I have been doing rebel missions such as help rebels on swamp island, repairing the creator, killing the shaper on gull island, and finally being told to meet Litalia and the drakon in the Geneforge. When I get there, Litalia greets me and tells me to visit the drakon. However, immediately after ending that conversation she starts a new one beginning "she looks with pity on one she knows she must destroy" or something like that and then kills me. Is this a glitch or do I have to kill Litalia? Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

quote:Actually, I agree w/ Ald in that this game is different. The other two games are about serviles and how you will treat them. They are both order vs. liberty: the order imposed by the shapers that hurts serviles and creations vs. the total liberty of a servile run society. In G3, the whole moral question is almost moot and serviles seem to disappear from the main ideas presented in the story. This game is all about power: helping the people in power maintain the status quo or grasping for more and more personal power. There is no longer a freedom loving side, there is no longer a side that you can say: "They are obviously right" (like the Awakened, or some would say takers in the other games). That is why I think that the factions and choices are better designed in this game: there is no clear moral leader; there is a lot more gray area because the "idealism" of the last games is gone.

Loyalists; I don't even think it's debatable. The shapers have some problems, obviously, but all the problems with shapers are the same with rebels. They also kill creations (and humans and shapers) at least as much (and probably more) than shapers. They also seem to be moving in the direction of subjecting serviles to drakon rule. Plus: In G1, the takers (and Trajkov + Sholai) were pretty idealistic. They wanted freedom, plain and simple; they realized violence would be needed. In G2, the takers and drakons wanted freedom, but also power for the drakons plus lots of killing of shapers: a sort of end justifies the means mentality. Now, in G3, it has moved beyond that to a sort of rhetoric justifies the end and means mentality: meaning that as long as people like Litalia continue to talk about freedom, they can do whatever they want (which means gain lots of power without any thought for ethics and kill everyone while pretty much ignoring the whole idea of freedom for serviles). Serviles, meanwhile have been forgotten and manipulated by a movement that started to help them but now is only an insane power grab by drakons and rebel shapers. Edit: and Samurai: really, when you examine the real world and this war, there are almost no similarities at all (and I'm not saying that because of shaping, magic, etc.: they just aren't at all comprable.)

I was trying to do the second part of the testing ground and I simply cannot even get close to killing the first golem. I have a glaahk, a battle alpha, and a vlish (w/ almost no leftover essence). Is there some way to beat it that I am just missing? Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

So, I'm playing and I'm on Dhonal. On the first island I killed the Creator thing, on the second island I helped the rebels and gave Lankan the canister. Also, most (but not all) of my answers have been pro-freedom/anti-shaper status quo. Now on Dhonal Litalia said to fix the machines and that if I did something to hurt her cause again I would not be forgiven. Then I helped Lord I-can't-remember-his-name by talking to the drakon (I said research and then kill) and by freeing the general. Does that count as betraying Litalia? Can I still fix the machines and join the rebels or must I be a loyal shaper now? Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

I've tried to download BoA multiple times, and from different links, but it never works (on Windows). Towards the end of the install it asks for a Disc 2 and won't install the actual .exe file. I get all the data files and scenarios, etc. Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

I was wondering if anyone had a general idea what what exactly happens for the skribbane addiction in EXILE (not avernum) III, at least if they are different, that is. What I mean is, what exactly are the effects of the addiction, how long does it take to become unaddicted, etc. -------------------- *I am not a guest. http://www.spinnweb.com/zbb: A Board Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

What's the point in improving the BoE scenarios that come with it for BoA. They aren't very good anyway and a few improvements won't fix that. Jeff is just better at writing the longer, more involved games. Besides, the point of BoA is to make and play new scenarios, not play three mediocre scenarios And by the way, this is my 100th post!
