Include a whole new program file.

As far as I can tell by looking at the files in the BoA folder, the sounds would either be in the executable or some generic data file. Either way, to change it would be reverse engineering, and doing so would reduce the chances of that scenario being hosted on SpidWeb drastically. Be a nice thing to add to the wish list, though.

(Just curious: why would it have to be a PC user?)

EDIT: Took a look at the complete title of the thread. You mean Mac users are already capable of including custom sounds?

Wow. A post count consisting of a non-zero digit followed by zeroes. I feel like I should commemorate this occurance by creating a completely useless, self-absorbed thread instead of answering someone's question.

Something Evil Overlord-ish, but I don't want to get overly stuck in that gimmick. The quotes aren't restricted to the Evil Overlord List, and I'm about halfway done it anyway.

Nevermind, it seems more items are being put on the list. Excellent...

The first time I read the book version of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (which was, incidentally, two week's before the movie's release), I read the descripion of the cloning aliens aloud to the Silent Assassin.
His response: "Sounds like Vahnatai to me. What're you reading?"
During the movie some weeks later, he made it known that he felt that Jeff had been ripped off.
Glad to see that I wasn't the only one to think so. Was anyone else reminded of a Golem of Blades when General Grievious pulled out those sabers? Methinks Lucas is a secret SpidWeb fan...

Costumes vs. CGI: I'd just love to see a costumed human try to duplicate having two elbows.

A2 could make a good movie, if a long one. A1 could also be a movie if you boil it down to the Grah-Hoth quest and your basic Avernum atmosphere (escaping doesn't have enough drive, and the assassination plot only really came up in the end game). The best A3 could do would be a multi-season TV show, with each plague taking up a season.

Meh. I'd just as soon blame Yahoo as Hotmail. The first time I tried downloading the attachment, it quit halfway through and Windows declared it corrupted. Second time worked, though. I'm torn between blaming it on Windows, dial-up, and Yahoo.

The Necromancer wouldn't work for role-playing purposes either. Think about it: would you, as a quest-giver (a.k.a. Bob), give a heroic quest to a creepy guy whose illegal and inherently evil compatriots continually drop pieces of their putrid remains on your waiting room carpet? I didn't think so. The only thing that would work worse than the Necromancer would be some sort of demon summoner.

I find this oddly reassuring. Instead of Yahoo having a major bug (ignoring my e-mail for a month, then presenting it to me), it only has a sporadic minor bug (mistaking a July e-mail for June, and filing it with June e-mails).

You ignorant fool! If you look carefully at the photo, you will see that I am Sauron, not the Witch-King. The Witch-King would do nicely, seeing that he had a cool Evil Overlord Helmet and all, but he broke too many of the rules (#153 comes to mind).

Anyway, I've got to work on my phrasology. 'You ignorant fool' is borderline cliche.

What to be added in Avernum 4? in The Avernum Trilogy
Guardian
Member # 6670

One thing that A3 had (though not nearly enough) that I liked was the minor villains that came into power due to the Vahnatai's actions. I don't mean the random dungeons, like Vahkohs and the Rakshasi. I'm talking about the unforseeable side effects of the main plot arc, such as the Slime Bandits, or the Trog-Giant conflict. That way, you're able to have a side quest that keeps the focus on the main plot, instead of drawing focus away.

Just think: instead of making Braziron a benevolent general, make him an idealist who carves out his own personal kingdom north of Gale. The PCs hear rumours about him long before they get that far north, and even get a quest to 'dispose' of him. When they get to him, they have to decide between killing the only efficient slayer of the golems or raising the ire of the Empire.
