Yeah, but we want one for the long-term, in case spidweb happens to drop support for BoA and takes months to add new things.

I think that you should accept three kinds of scripts - monster, terrain, and cool things.

Blades of Exile is the best game so far, and Blades of Avernum will be as good once it gets the number of good scenarios that BoE has acquired over seven years of designing.

You'd need two versions of a town alternating through variable town entry.

As for the outdoor encounter rewards, if you link the script directly to the completion of the combat, then you can get the reward there. Unfortunately, that doesn't take into account whether or not your inventory is full, so Jeff prefers to have you return to the nest.

I think Jeff still checks these forums occasionally, but emailing them to him is more effective.

New Scenarios in Blades of Avernum
Triad Mage

Porting is horribly inefficient, and the time spent on porting would be better spent designing a completely new scenario.

And for all you Windows users - there's no reason you can't write all of your scripts now - the scenario editor is just for towns and outdoors.

It doesn't even need to be a monster - it could be noxious fumes coming out of vents, etc.

War Blessing is a wonderful spell at any level for a singleton. It's like Divine Warrior but cheaper. And without invulnerability.

Speak to Khoth about that - it bugged him too and he has created a very neat workaround.

I don't think it's much of a restriction at all - plenty of scenarios are town-only, and I think it's easier to work without worrying about outdoors.

Post yer monster scripts here in Blades of Avernum Editor

*i, you should post your magekiller script. I've got some monster scripts I'm working on too.

In that magekiller script, monsters will target characters based on spell-level, which is a more simplistic way of going about it and doesn't take much more into account, but it's still great to have.

The 'hey' and 'hello' are definitely still in BoA, and unfortunately we can't use custom sounds.

The BoA game docs are really not important. The editor docs are something that everyone should read.

1) BoA is not the only program with this problem. My suggestion is to not change the resolution.

2) Well, if he's terrified he wants to run away. And if he's not terrified, and you move him to that space because you want him to try and open the door, and the dialog box doesn't come up, would you be mad?

3) The designers can implement this if they want.

Again, just be careful when editing over monsters that are summoned (mainly just the shades).
