Think you can make towns? in Blades of Avernum Editor
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Wednesday, July 28 2004 18:07 Profile #2 Some curt advice: You're asking people to do all of the unexciting things about scenario design. I do not know of any good designer who enjoys just making scut towns. If you really want extra towns, make them. If you aren't willing to do them yourself, just cut them out. Your scenario will probably be better without them anyway. Also, if you are still planning on using Rentar-Ihrno, I highly recommend waiting until you are more experienced. Nothing is worse than the pathetic Blades of Exile scenarios that disrespect an important NPC such as her through shoddy, amateur design. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

A way to reuse flags in the same scenerio in Blades of Avernum Editor
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Tuesday, July 27 2004 20:21 Profile #3 Flags act as permanent, global, predefined variables, at least for the duration of the scenarios. This strategy seems unnecessary and really confusing. Just keep notes on existing flags and you should be fine. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

ERROR IN CUT SCENE in Blades of Avernum Editor
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Tuesday, July 27 2004 11:22 Profile #5 My suggestion is to stay away from Rentar-Ihrno in general. She is so cliched in Blades of Exile, it's not even funny. I hate to say this, but any first effort will not be that great. Hold off until you develop some skills to try something so grandiose. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Script Database in Blades of Avernum Editor
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Tuesday, July 27 2004 11:19 Profile #5 Be sure to integrate anything you have into the Lyceum's Codex. It is by far the most stable venue the Blades Community has for storing these things. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Script Database in Blades of Avernum Editor
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Monday, July 26 2004 16:27 Profile #0 Hi. The Lyceum now has a script database called the codex. Right now it needs some scripts, any kind of script. So, if you are a designer and have some neat scripts you created, post them now and get credit for the idea! Also, if you need ideas for scripts, take a visit as well.

get_nearest_char in Blades of Avernum Editor
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Thursday, July 15 2004 14:52 Profile #0 It seems when the get_nearest_char commands are called in a creature script, it returns its own number for its value. The creature running the script was created using the place_monster call. Is anyone else having problems with this? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Generic Towns in Blades of Avernum Editor
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Sunday, July 11 2004 06:59 Profile #1 This idea was attempted by yours truly back in good old 1998 with Blades of Exile. It never caught on and was never really implemented. Try if you want, but do not expect them to be really popular. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Therefore I shall not fear either. It only works if you have a history of releasing things. The people who talk about things are usually newbies or close to who never finish. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!
