Monster ideas in Blades of Avernum
The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Tuesday, November 19 2002 13:29 Profile #10 quote: Originally posted by Aruneko: Scylla is the spider with two mouths, Charybdis is the big thingamabob which drinks up the tide and spits it back out. How about an attacking building? You could make "Wall monsters" which jut out be around it. Maybe a door could open on it every few moments, letting out some beasties. And maybe the beasties could walk around and repair the walls. Heck, there are so many possibilites I can't list them all. ...maybe the beasties could spontaneously combust after a minute or two... Demi Liches are below Liches in power, aren't they? Spider? I'm reading the Odyssey in English class. Scylla is a six-headed sea monster.

Ideas for how to work around design options in Blades of Avernum
The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Monday, November 18 2002 13:06 Profile #1 I don't think that would work. In BoE, special classes were striped from items when the party left a scenario, just in case an item in another scenario used the same class. He's probably going to do the same thing in BoA. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 \| Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00
Monster ideas in Blades of Avernum

I'm glad someone actually has an idea that actually makes good use of it, other than undead forts. I might finish the skull wall set later. TM says it doesn't look anything like skulls, though.

Message From Spiderweb - Brain Blocked in Blades of Avernum
The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Monday, November 11 2002 09:30 Profile #55 quote: Originally posted by modnaR: A fireball spell might be a bit overpowered, considering everything else is just multi instead of mass target. I still think some sort of wall (probably fire or anti-magic) would be best, along with some sort of augmentation or enfeeblement spell. Possibly 'Dispel Magic' which removes haste, bless and shield from single/ multiple targets? However, with multiple target spells, the enemies can be spread out. With area-of-effect spells, they need to be together. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 \| Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00

I will host BoA graphics in Blades of Avernum
The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Sunday, November 10 2002 04:36 Profile #19 Since I suppose there will be a link to your page on the top of the forum, maybe you could put a link to Motekye's item page.

BoA -- Custom Graphics in Blades of Avernum
The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Saturday, November 2 2002 12:56 Profile #7 quote: Originally posted by Jigga: Theres something that may be a problem with the doomguard. A3 (and almost certainly BoA) will cut off his feet. Anything below a v shaped line (where the terrain tile ends), is ignored by the engine. You could probably solve by shrinking the image a bit.

A note about custom graphics in Blades of Avernum
The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Tuesday, October 22 2002 10:27 Profile #8 quote: Originally posted by jwj442: I tried temporarily replacing the goblin graphic in A1 with ADoS's earth elemental, to see how it looks in the actual game. It looked kind of...weird. Almost like a clay model. I tried drawing black borders around the elemental as someone suggested, and it looked a lot better. Try it yourself. Whoever said this is right--you really do need black outlines aorund your graphics for it to look right in the game. I'll do that later.

Few Questions in Blades of Avernum
The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Wednesday, October 16 2002 15:36 Profile #18 Schrodinger made the first custom BoA graphic. It's a sort of blue blob thing, a water elemental, I believe. I made a few walls, along with an earth elemental and wind elemental. I'm pretty good with making simple graphics, although I can't do complicated things like griffons. After I finish converting my characters to BoA format, I'll make some more graphics. Albino Frog, I'm fourteen years old. Look at the graphics I made for BoA. Of course young people can make good graphics. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 \| Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00
