Hi people,

it's been a long since the latest time I came on these forums...

I've suddenly thought again of Spiderweb and would be interested to register a few games (I have Avernum 1, 2 and 3) now. That reminds some good memories...

But could someone please confirm that the Exiles work under Vista? I remember playing these fascinating old games on the Mac and would find exciting to play them again

I am running Vista as we speak (32 bit). All spiderweb games work. That's all. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes Exile 1, Exile 2, Exile 3, Blades of Exile, Nethergate, Avernum 1, Avernum 2, Avernum 3, Blades of Avernum, Avernum 4, Geneforge 1, Geneforge 2, Geneforge 3, Geneforge 4 and Nethergate: Resurrection.

The only remotely tricky thing is the installation; a prompt appears after the first attempt at installation asking if you would like to re-install using compatability mode. I recommend you accept the prompt for trouble-free gaming.

64-bit Vista here. No problems, at least with the newer games. I've understood that Nethergate (the original) and earlier games won't work.

Note: It's not necessary to replace an existing item. (Thereby losing it.) You can make custom items, with some work of renumbering lines in scripts and adding new items to gf4itemschar. Do this VERY carefully. Many item types contain info in the beginning of a type and you have to pay attention because following lines will not repeat the same line and some lines added change it and possibly everything that follows. Look close at custom gems and godmode items in my version.

Edit: Typo.

Also Micro Phage you meant like this right:
For Battle Magic
code = set_flag(1,12,9);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
set_flag(1,12,@);
alter_stat(get_sdf(1,12),10);
break;

Just replace @ with the battle spell numbers down there.

Firebolt-40
Burning spray-41
Searer-42
Ice spray-43
Lighting aura-44

I would like to share some of my experience with geneforge editors:

First, you said that you want to edit the editor so that it change your skills and spells to 10 each. So I have been making my own editor base on your editor and editor from GF3 and come up with this: Although its in 30's

Although some of the abil numbers are unused i just kinda got lazy and copy paste and add new abil numbers that are not in GF3 and that are in GF4.

I have also made some godly items that are not only increase your stats but you can also make 7 creations with 120+ stats each. If youre interested i can send you things that i change in the script, though i didnt change the storyline, i just change things like, make you and your creation glow (eg a charge Fyora) or make you a shade, turn your drakon creation into one of the human characters (eg. a shaper) etc. I am just sharing some of the fun things i made to the community...

I don't use ME. I have a computer with it installed on. There is a difference. I used to use Win98, then XP, and now I'm using Vista, and rather enjoying it.

Oh, and I'm a boy. A real boy. :)

Who cares if it increases canister usage? Just press shift-D, and type in "sdf 100 4 0" (minus the quotes). That will get rid of any canister usage affects.

And if for some reason you need a "cheat" to remove the effects of your canister usage, press shift-D and type in "sdf 100 4 0" minus the quotes.

Originally written by Thuryl:

I don't think that's stored in an SDF. You'd have to edit the zone script for every zone in which you wanted changing maps to be possible, which seems like more effort than just walking across the Eastern or Western Rise every time.

Originally written by The Ratt:

One thing about those custom items is that if you make stuff too high it will go into the negatives. I know from experience that you can give +200 to any stat without anything wierd happening, but going much higher than that is probably not advised. Also, the damage weapons do is based on some level, which is not understandable at a glance, which makes making your weapon seem quite impossible to get. From my experiments it seems a weapon can only do about 30-250? without it going negative.
