When are scripts loaded? in Blades of Avernum Editor

Actually, I think the warning not to modify those files was more of "you shouldn't, and there's no reason to" rather than "you can't".

Unless JV uses some strange backup method for it, there shouldn't be any technical problems with modifying the core files - it's just that, from what I've read, there's no reason you'd want to for your scenario, as it would create needless incompatibility in exchange for nothing.

Therefore, um, I see no reason why he can't modify giant spider AI in the core file.

ADDENDUM : Try modifying it in a single scenario data file first. JV telling us whether or not he's using some strange backup method would work, too.

Arkenstone is just a strange scenario, really. I can't say I really liked it, but I didn't dislike it either...

Massive army combat? in Blades of Avernum

Ideally, I'd handle it by using custom terrain to give the illusion of armies assembled and waiting for battle. I'd make the "armies" a town entrance to the battlefield, then pave the custom terrain back to normal / remove the town entrance after the battle is over.

Well, in BoA, you won't be able to one-hit things that have 1000 HP. :P

The problem with the damage cap in Av3 wasn't that you could hit it easily, it was that you could raise your "basic" damage so high with skills that your weapon choice really didn't matter.

Alternate hypothesis proven. Please don't double-post, even if you do it under two different names.

Probably not. While it's gotten sidetracked, it's not actively bad, so it's more likely to die from lack of interest rather than having a moderator cut it down.

Languages of the World in Blades of Avernum
Shake Before Using

Novah is a nice naming language, since it's almost completely taken from Vahnatai prefixes and suffixes used in the games. Characters named in Novah will tend to "match" with the actual Vahnatai from the games, which is always a plus.

Just about the only piece of fanon which it would be generally confusing to dispute is the name Ermarian for the planet that Exile takes place on. Enough people have called it that for long enough that naming it something else in a BoE scenario would just be confusing.

(Then again, being a strange person, I call the world that Exile takes place on Ermarian and the world that Avernum takes place on simply the World of Avernum.)

I think it's done in Avernum, so I think it will be possible in BoA. Wait for someone who's played more to post.
