Looking back on a couple of previous posts, I realized that something I said could be taken the wrong way. To clarify, when I said they're running out of original ideas, I was NOT talking about Jeff or Spiderweb Software. I was talking about the big budget titles.

I have been a fan of Jeff's work for quite a while now. I have the whole Avernum series (except A1), the whole Geneforge series, BoA, and Nethergate. His games are some of the best out there.

While BC could have been better, it certainly wasn't a bad scenario. Besides, most first efforts tend to be under par.

M.I.M.E stands for Magical Intelligent Modified Entity. In other words, it's a familiar with no master.

Having it in a creature script may cause some unusual effects, though.

I'll second that. I remember a few years ago when I started thinking up a plot for BoE. Which wasn't so bad, except that it envolved M.I.M.Es. Thankfully, the feeling passed.

In this bit of code:
fallx = 21;
while(fallx <= 23){
text_bubble_on_char(6,"HAHAHAHA, **** YOU ALL!!!");
relocate_character(6,fallx,11);
force_view_center(fallx,11);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(1);


fallx = (fallx + 1);
}
You forgot to pass an empty bubble before the writing a new bubble.

Wow, there's something I never thought I'd say. :)

But, despite similarities, this is not Geneforge. This is Avernum.

Now that you mention it, though, I sure got a lot of Graymold off those Rotgroths near Erika's Tower. (I know, they aren't actually Rotgroths. I just can't remember what they're called, and they are strikingly similar to Rotgroths.)

It's almost as if they're running out of original ideas. Which isn't suprising, frankly.

And hard-core Spiderweb fans come in all ages. I'm proof, as I am at the younger end of said spectrum.

Alright, I'll take you through it step-by-step.

First, go back to the smashed control panel. Now, head straight north to a building with cracks in the wall.

Head east, then back north. You should eventually see a door to the southwest of you. Enter it.

I hope this was helpful.

Speaking of berekh hives, if you attempt to activate multiple hidden groups, only the first one will spawn.

Also, if you call a state in the town script from a creature or terrain script, and then use the call end() in the creature/terrain script, it will end both the creature/terrain state and the town state.

EDIT: Added humor.

EDIT 2: When you use the call print_big_str, the string comes out red.

If you have any sort of audio program running in the background, like a music player or another game, this can sometimes cause that error. I hit this once in Avernum 3.

I think it may have to do with the mixing device... On the sound card, I mean.

EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, this may be caused by a glitch with your sound card. At least, that was the problem with mine.

Discovered while beta testing Rats Aplenty. If you erase a character and then respawn it in the same state, you get an unhandled exception.

Also, I'd imagine it would be six ticks on horseback.

What are you sorry for? Posting information to help somebody? You weren't in the wrong here. Nobody was, I was just too slow.

Besides, he may not have picked up the wand. Or known it was purple. :D

True, but they wouldn't be using canisters one after another. Also, the chances of a civilian using more than one or two canisters is remote, at best.

Since Avernum 4 was crossed with Geneforge combat, graphics, and gameplay, do you think that elements of Avernum will be in Geneforge 4?
