These are two templates, one for creatures and one for items: http://www.sitemouse.com/users/drakefyre/boa.html#temp1 http://www.sitemouse.com/users/drakefyre/boa.html#temp2 To use them, create a new data script, then copy the template and paste it in. All of the values are set to their default, so all you need to do is change the values that you want. For more information, look in the editor documentation. -------------------- "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!

There are some fundamental problems with poverty and inheritance and this issue. 1) People having children when they can't afford to take care of them. If you're working 60 hours a week to make ends meet for yourself, don't have a kid. Maybe you can go to night school and get certified for a better job where you can work 40 hours a week for better money and then you can have a kid. Too many people are having children when they can't take care of them, which leads to the next problem. 2) A lack of motivation. Parents working 60 hours a week with two kids cannot take an active interest in their children's lives. A parent needs to push and motivate their children to do well in school and whatever else they're interested in. Parents need to be able to take control over their children sometimes. They've had life experience that their kids have not. 3) Spending money on the wrong things. Bill Cosby is absolutely right here. Buying an X-Box and Iversons and a Cadillac when you're living in poverty is not doing anyone any good. Most likely, you're plunging into debt, especially when you could have used that money to buy 'Hooked on Phonics' or something that will give your children a better chance in life, rather than more fun or prestige right now. 4) A lack of values. Parents need to teach their children values. If you see that your mother is a cocaine addict with three children from three different men, you're going to come out of childhood with some funny worldviews. Parents need to teach their children proper morals and values so that they don't end up in the same mess that they're in. Most parents really, really love their children. But a lot of them have no clue about when they should have had them, what they should teach them, etc. If you're living in poverty with three kids and your life is in shambles, there are some questions that you have to ask yourself. Likewise, if you're better off and your children don't succeed, then you really need to look at yourself. TM, I don't believe that saying that not everyone is born equal is racist at all. It's completely true. Not everyone has the same intelligence, not everyone can grasp math or science or history, not everyone can jump the same height, not everyone is or can be the same. Still, a lot of things are environmental factors. I believe that everyone can succeed in school and is capable of A's and B's in honors-level classes. It's just that some people apply themselves, and others just don't think that they can make it, so they don't try. And that's just sad. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Blades of Avernum has four shorter scenarios bundled with it, all made with the editor. And there are other user-created scenarios too. -------------------- "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!

That's because they basically are all the same. Christianity is based on Judaism and Islam is based on Christianity and Judaism. Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah and in the Trinity, both of which are not accepted by Judaism. Muslims believe that both Jesus and Mohammed were prophets, and that's basically the only difference between Islam and Judaism. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

There was definitely a screenshot from the campaign editor either in an interview or on a screenshot page. Besides that evidence, the campaign editor does seem to exist, and most beta testers will tell you that there is some sort of editor making the games, not just pure coding. -------------------- "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!

I don't follow your logic at all. First of all, there will be at least one more GF game after GF3 before BoG. GF2 and GF3 were already made with a GF Campaign Editor, which means that BoG basically already exists. And I for one would welcome BoG, since the Geneforge engine allows some things that would be impossible in Avernum, but I am a bit worried that the GF engine doesn't allow for much expansion beyond the shaper world. -------------------- "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!

I agree with Thuryl.

I very much doubt that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what Apple has done is built an OS on top of an open-source base. Apple retains all of the intellectual property rights of Mac OS X and all code that distinguishes it from its base. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I don't understand why a lot of people hate Geneforge. It's certainly a lot more fun than most BoE/BoA scenarios. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Those are usually magic or electric damage - things like the Mica or Static bands will help with that.
