Jeff doesn't capitalize Nephilim, Slithzerikai, or Vahnatai. I, however, like capital letters. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

For my most recent scenario, I wrote down all SDFs in a notebook, along with what they did and what set them. For previous scenarios, I picked flags that I was sure I hadn't used, leading to things like flags 215,7 and 112,3 being used in the same node chain. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

*ranting mode* 1) Have you seen the Avernum 4 topics in General and the one that was locked on this forum? No, I didn't think so. 2) Wow, you managed to come to such a thoughtful conclusion based on three preliminary screenshots and no real knowledge of the engine. 3) Discussing things on the forum means nothing. Jeff hardly ever reads them. If you wanted him to get your (mostly unworkable) ideas, then you should have emailed them to him. 4) Despite that, quite a lot of them are actually implemented in Avernum 4. The spell system is massively improved and all movement is still turn-based. The movement system combines the best parts of Avernum and Geneforge. The graphics are preliminary, and they are the way they are for the simple reason that it was easier to modify GF graphics to the Av4 format than modifying Avernum graphics to fit the format. 4.5) 12 of the 36 suggestions from Verelor's post are implemented. 5) You may have valid concerns about the plot, but nobody can really know right now. 6) How about waiting for a demo before drawing a conclusion? So, please read the six-page Avernum 4 thread in General and direct all further concerns there.

From the Appendices: Status Types A status is any temporary condition a character can have. Examples are blessing, invulnerability, poison, and forcecage. Each status is represented by a number. Most of the time, each status will be at 0, which means the character doesn't have it (a non-poisoned character has a poison status of 0). Statuses are changed by spells, enemy attacks, special encounters, and similar circumstances. Below is a list of all the possible statuses. Unless said otherwise, they can not be negative, and they go down by one per turn. The different statuses a character can have (and their numbers) are The complete status list: 0 - Poison. Each turn, game divides the amount of poison the character has by four (rounded up), does 1-2 points of damage that many times, and reduces the poison level by that amount. 1 - Bless/Curse. If positive, character is blessed. If negative, cursed. 2 - Shield/Weaken. If positive, character is shielded. If negative, weakened. 3 - Haste/Slow. If positive, character is hasted. If negative, slowed. 4 - Invulnerable. 5 - Magic Resistant. 6 - Webbed. 7 - Diseased. Goes down slower than 1 per turn. 8 - Charmed. 9 - Berserk. 10 - Asleep. 11 - Paralysis. 12 - Acid. Each turn, game divides the amount of acid the character has by two (rounded up), does 1-2 points of damage that many times, and reduces the acid level by that amount. 13 - Dumbfounded. 14 - Sanctuary. 15 - Martyr's Shield. 16 - Divinely Touched 17 - Resistant 18 - Confused 19 – Enlightened. This unusual status is only used for special encounters. You can have one special encounter that makes the party enlightened, and another encounter that checks to see if they still have this status to, say, open a door or use some other effect. 20 - Terrified 21 - Enfeebled 22 - Regenerating 23 - Nimble Fingers 24 - Featherfall 25 - Flying 26 - Safe Travel 27 - Hovering Feet 28 - Drunk. 29 - Force Cage. Each turn, goes down by the character’s strength, plus 1. 30 - Fleeing. Each turn, goes down by the character’s intelligence, plus 1. Status Ranges The legal range for most statuses if 0 to 250 (so it can have any value from 0, for no status, to 250, the maximum). There are some exceptions. Bless, Shield, and Haste can have a negative value, and can range from –250 to 250. Sleep, Charm, and Paralyze can be at most 10 (so a character can’t magically sleep for over 10 turns). -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
