Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded. Something like that anyway. in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, January 12 2008 13:17 Profile Homepage #570 Yes, he is. It involves saving a village from a plague of mindless undead and is called Death Aplenty. You can read about it here. Or maybe that's just the next chapter. Dikiyoba forgets. It's one of the two, anyway. -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

G5 wishlist. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, January 11 2008 12:40 Profile Homepage #274 Originally by Mythrael: quote: EDIT: Apart from improving creations i would like different genders for each character type(isn't it strange that we meet both female and male shapers, but we never meet male infiltrators or female guardians?) There has been at least one female Guardian. In G2, there is Nora in the Drypeak Warrens. Of course, she is a pretty obscure character. Dikiyoba doesn't mind the lack of them too much, but Dikiyoba likes the idea. Dikiyoba would also like PC sprites that are unique. The lifecrafter and one of the mages share graphics, for instance. It's not critical but would be a nice touch. -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
G1 canisters in Geneforge Series

G1 canisters in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Thursday, January 10 2008 13:56 Profile Homepage #8 Originally by V12: quote: Oh dang them. I guess I have to use the canisters, the game just doesn't seem to leave a choice. What's the threshold, by the way? Less than 5 canisters, like in GF4, i.e. I can use 4 without ill effects? The threshold is zero. Canisters are so important (and the negative effects as yet unknown) that the game doesn't check to see whether you've been using them or not; it assumes that you have been.

How continuous is the trilogy's story in The Avernum Trilogy
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Thursday, January 10 2008 11:58 Profile Homepage #7 Definitely start with A1 if you're planning to play all three, though A2 is the best. Dikiyoba started with A2 and had trouble playing A1. Knowing the basic outline of the story wasn't too bad, since A2 doesn't spoil all the details, but the less-polished engine was very difficult to adjust to. -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

G1 canisters in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, January 9 2008 15:37 Profile Homepage #5 Originally by V12: quote: Seems to be no way to learn any shaping. Or is there? I've played G1 a long time ago, but I vaguely remember some kind of crypt complex filled with books. Don't remember if any of them give actual creations and spells, though. There are two large crypts that you can learn stuff from. However, the one in the early game contains all stat-raising books and the second one might have a very few but isn't until the very end of the game.

The start state is state number 2, so that's the error. The short without any defined variables might cause problems too.

Weird creations??? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Teleportation in Blades of Avernum Editor
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, January 6 2008 16:10 Profile Homepage #3 There is in fact an example of an in-town teleporter in the Za-Khazi Run. There are probably several of them, actually, but I know for sure there is one in the Cunning Crypts (t1Cunning, or something like that). It works as a special encounter instead of as a specobj, but the script will look the same. Specobj will work whenever you search the portal. Kelandon's searchblock is a step up, since it will work if the party steps into the portal as well. Dikiyoba doesn't know why the standard special encounter setup won't work for this portal, since it's what players expect and it's easier to find a working example of. However, if you have a very good reason (like having the portal be in a location where it would be easily triggered by the party passing back and forth) then do it. -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Avernum or Nethergate? in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, January 6 2008 14:22 Profile Homepage #12 Attempting to salvage thread... If the engine/graphics make you prefer one over the other (and you'll have to try the demos to find out), then Geneforge 1-4 and A4 have an engine similar to A5, while Avernum 1-3 and BoA have an engine similar to the new Nethergate.

What video gmaes would you like to see made into movies... no Halo! in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, January 5 2008 20:17 Profile Homepage #63 Originally by the Ratt: quote: ...that would mean the main character for G4 would die at the end. This is what I was questioning, because a Trakovite ending doesn't necessarily mean death. The PC gets put to work in the Forsaken Lands if they were pro-Rebel enough. Not the happiest ending, perhaps, but it could be passible, depending how the lifecrafter's character is portrayed and the moral dilemmas dealt with. [Edit: Beaten to it, but it's different enough to stay.] Alternatively, the movie could focus on several important characters from the game--Greta, Pol, Alwan, Miranda, etc.--and the lifecrafter would be just one main character among many. In which case, the fate of the lifecrafter would be less important to the story. Maybe "important" isn't the right word, but their fate would be just one among many. Either way, it wouldn't be a happy ending, but Dikiyoba doesn't think there is a happy ending in G4.
