If you want one, you can always make it yourself. You'd just have to throw together a simple scenario with a custom item, take the item, and leave the scenario. EDIT: Incidentally, there's nothing inherently "appropriate" about mages with staves, except that that's how we're used to seeing them. Why can't a mage have an enchanted sword or bow that increases his magical power?

I had a couple existential crises. They are painful, and getting through them is rewarding. I don't know or care about any beings or auras or afterlives or whatevers that are not based solely on observation and reason. Emotions are observable and reason indicates that emotions and various other mental states can, do, and will continue to affect our judgement. The Bible and many other religious texts are observable in and of themselves, so I believe they exist, but I do not have any reason to believe anything they say is true if it cannot be arrived at through observation and reason. For instance, if The Bible says "I am the Lord your God" and I can't observe or arrive at through reason who "I" is and whether this "I" is in fact the Lord my God, then unless and until I gain the ability to do so, I do not and will not believe it is true. Provided nobody impairs my ability to reason or observe, of course, be it through drugs, blunt force trauma, etc. -------------------- 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 don't know if any of these have been fixed already: On the Windows version of the scenario editor and the main program (not sure about the Mac version), the smaller Alien Beast graphic does not appear when selecting graphics, when placing the monster in a town, or when seeing the monster in the main program (haven't tested outdoors, but presumably it would be no different). Rather, it is replaced by the Mind Crystal graphic. The Strength Potion cannot be made via alchemy. This may be more complicated to fix, but it would be useful. When a message during dialogue is called via a node, if the player Records the message, bugs occur in the Talking Journal. Not sure about the exact nature of the bugs, but the messages don't record properly. -------------------- 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 |

The Blood Beast has always been one of my very favorite Exile graphics, and I think it's totally awesome that you made a high-quality Avernum version. There's something I wonder though, having never played very far in any of the Exile trilogy, having only seen that graphic used as a giant kobold, and there being no article about them in the Encyclopedia Ermariana. What is a Blood Beast, exactly? Just a monster made of blood? Some sort of demon? Undead? Is this ever established in the games? -------------------- 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 |

This would eat up a whole lot of Scenario nodes, however, if there are a lot of towns.

Perhaps having an item call a Town or Outdoor special could be useful in certain scenarios, for instance, if you want the item's effect to differ depending on location. Whether the ability calls Scenario, Town or Outdoor nodes could depend on the Helps/Harms PC/Party buttons. For instance, Helps PC could have it call a Scenario node, Harms PC calls Town if in town and Scenario if outdoors, Helps Party calls Town in town and Outdoors outdoors, and Harms Party calls Outdoors if outdoors and Scenario if in town. I don't know if that's possible though. Is it? -------------------- 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 |

Ormus, I tried to download the scenario editor, but it appears the top two links on the page in your sig are the same as the two below them. By the way, it turns out that the color changing thing gets annoying in the scenario editor and the character editor as well. I guess it depends on what program I switch to or something. -------------------- 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'm looking for the boat in New Life so I can get to Aquatis and the Acidbeat Shrine like the walkthrough says. It implies that the boat is in Bhor-Tak's hut, but I don't see it there. I also can't get a boat at the boathouse near Bhor-Tak's hut. I just fought some Acid Priests and an Acidbeat in an outdoor encounter, and it told me to look around. I'm looking around and I still don't see anything. Any help as to where the boat is would be appreciated. -------------------- 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 |

As I said elsewhere on this forum (Ormus agreed) it might be more useful to have that button bring up the license the code is released under instead of having it close BoE. There's already the little X button in the upper right corner of the window for closing the program anyway. As for the Start Scenario and Custom Scenario buttons, I think we could hypothetically get rid of the Start Scenario button since it only displays VoDT, ASR (with a typo in the title, no less), and ZKR, regardless of whether they're actually in the folder, while Custom Scenario displays a list of all scenarios in the folder (up to the hard-coded limit anyway), including those three if they're in the folder. Then we could put something else there. I don't know what should go there though. -------------------- 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 |

You can already make friendly wandering monsters with dialogs and optional attacking and whatnot. Skribbane could probably be done well enough with the items-calling-specials suggestion, if that gets implemented. At any rate, there's always Soporific Herbs if that doesn't happen and you really want canonical drugs. Hidden abilities are supposed to be possible, but it's broken and doesn't work, so maybe it could be fixed. -------------------- 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 |

Eventually my XP machines will die, and I'll be forced to get a different OS. I don't really like the idea of "upgrading" to Vista though. I might try Linux instead. A few questions about Linux though: 1) What are the drawbacks of Wine? I want to be able to run my programs (Audacity, Anvil Studio, Creative MP3 player programs, some AIM-compatible IM program) and especially my games (ranging from DOS programs like Museum Madness and Windows 3.0-compatible games to things like Doom 3). Would I be able to use those with reasonable ease? Wikipedia is kind of vague on this issue. 2) Are there any good Linux distributions that feature a decent GUI? It doesn't have to be anything really flashy, but I'd prefer to be able to access things without remembering where everything is and clicking five million times (i.e. something like Windows's Start menu, where I can put shortcuts) 3)Are there any free media players that will play WAV, MP3, and (preferably, but I'm assuming not) WMA? I might even poke around Linux before my current computers die, using my old 40GB hard drive that isn't hooked up right now, if I think it would be worthwhile. It would be nice not to have to pay ridiculous prices for everything and deal with Microsoft spying on me all the time. -------------------- 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 |
