Member # 869	written Thursday, January 19 2006 17:02 Profile Homepage #14 Well, either the sentence was ambiguously phrased, or Nicothodes somehow completely failed to notice half a dozen Australians on the list. It's a question of plausibility. [ Thursday, January 19, 2006 17:02: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Av 3, Reset Troglo mission help in The Avernum Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, January 19 2006 15:24 Profile Homepage #3 Set Stuff Done Flag is mostly a debugging option for Jeff Vogel and maybe for betatesters. Nothing much you can do at this point besides give up that quest as a bad job. You can still finish the game, though. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Vahnati Allies in Avernum 4

EDIT: Wait, which ones are these? The first group you run into, a short distance west of the fort, are meant to attack you; those ones are working for Rentar. There's another group much later on that will help you. [ Thursday, January 19, 2006 02:43: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Unlike A1, though, you don't actually meet Aimee. You just get a projection, or a recording, or something magical of that sort. My memory is fuzzy. It's a little more useful than just a "hint"; she teaches you Dispel Barrier at level 2. (In Exile 2 she taught you Death Arrows, which was even better.)

Will Exile ever be carbonized? in The Exile Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, January 18 2006 19:37 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by Master of Reality: By the way, am I the only one who actually likes the classic Macintosh theme better than Mac OS X? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a BIG fan of the old, but it's a lot more refreshing to me than this cheesy, over-exaggerated, bubbly, seemingly-diva-influenced aqua and platinum theme. :P It was rather shocking and interesting at first, but I'm really starting to hate it now. Funnily enough, I had almost exactly the opposite reaction to Aqua. It annoyed me at first, but over time I grew accustomed to it. You can, of course, always get a different theme. Oh, and quote: Originally posted by Knotty: What exactly was the "Xian Skull" topic about, anyway? All I can infer and glean is that it was totally awesome, but no one seems to really be able to describe what made it so. Someone posted an innocent question about the Xian Skull. Lots of people gave false answers, endeavouring to make them as silly as possible. People built on each other's answers until the entire topic grew to be about a kind of bizarre alternate-universe version of Exile 3, with a bit of Nethergate and Geneforge mixed in.

Annatolia or Crewl? (possible spoilers) in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, January 18 2006 14:41 Profile Homepage #37 Wow. Um, I hope you had fun playing through 70% of the game in the dark? I can understand why those passages wouldn't work in the unregistered version, though. The script for both of those secret passages checks to see if there's a wall where the passage is, and removes the wall if it's there. If you're playing in blackness, the terrain types for walls are switched with different ones, so the script doesn't find the terrain type it expects, and therefore assumes the passage has already been opened.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, January 18 2006 14:30 Profile Homepage #35 I'm curious: what happens if you try to talk to an NPC in Bargha? Can you carry out a conversation as normal? It sounds almost as if your dialogue scripts aren't working for some reason.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, January 18 2006 14:21 Profile Homepage #33 Yes, the passage should open if you follow the gravel path from where you get that message to the north. This is odd. Has the game displayed any error messages recently? If not (or even if so), do you mind opening up your Scripts folder and posting the entire contents of the files z12abyssdlg.txt and z22barghadlg.txt so that we can see if they've somehow become corrupted?

Member # 869	written Wednesday, January 18 2006 14:06 Profile Homepage #23 Quest-related bonuses to a skill don't limit your ability to purchase training in it later, but skill point investments do. If you've already raised a skill twice using skill points, you can't be trained in it.

A4 Bugs in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 17 2006 22:46 Profile Homepage #20 quote: Originally written by Dupreciation: Quick slots exist for a reason. They are limited for a reason. Your inventory is not meant to be instantly accessible at all times. After all, it's not realistic to be able to dig around in your backpack for an item in the same amount of time it takes to grab an item from your belt. The extra AP cost for using an item in your regular inventory reflects this. (See Fallout for an example of an easily exploitable inventory management system. Using a healing item that was in your hand cost 2 action points. Accessing inventory cost 4 action points, but after that you could use as many items as you liked for no additional AP cost. Very handy if you were badly injured enough to need to use 5 or so healing items at once.)
