Cutscene clumsiness and other problems in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, January 2 2006 01:02 Profile Homepage #10 Are you sure you're sending the party to valid coordinates? It looks like you might be sending them to a location inside the walls or outside the town boundaries or something. And if the coordinates in the script itself are correct, are you sure there are enough non-blocked floor spaces in the part of town where they're being sent to for them to actually be placed there?

Question for Administrators and Moderators in General

We're not supposed to say it is. Because it isn't, you see. Oh, and quote: When posting on the General board, can something truly be off-topic? Sure it can. It's the General forum, so a topic about anything specific is off-topic. :P [ Sunday, January 01, 2006 18:06: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Testing chambers spoilers in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, January 1 2006 16:19 Profile Homepage #1 All you have to do is survive long enough and you'll pass the test. Keeping the monsters under control, in this case, means keeping them from killing you. Hold off the golems and as many worms as possible with a fighter, and try to kill the rest of the worms before they can attack.

Unable to use living tools in Geneforge Series

This post would have been more helpful if you'd actually explained to her how to use them. To wit, click the Use button (the little hand icon beside the living tool in your inventory), then click on whatever you want to use the tool on (e.g. the lever you wish to unlock). Repeat as necessary. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

I'm pretty sure there are at least three Mercuric Leathers and two Mercuric Chains to be found in the game, and you can get more Mercuric Leathers made for you by Kelda (the nephil, not the bandit) if you want. Another neat item: the Girdle of Life (+2 End), in a cache in the ruined city in the far west of the Great Cave.

Fort Remote (SPOILERS!) in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, January 1 2006 14:14 Profile Homepage #4 quote: Originally written by i: The key is from the wounded soldier in the main hall of Fort Remote. You will need to recover some boat plans which are pretty easy to find and she will give you the key.* You don't actually need to get that key, by the way. There's another copy of it in a box somewhere in the tunnels. The quickest way to kill pylons is to put your fighter within its attack range (so that it doesn't regenerate), and have your archers and mages attack it from as far away as possible (so they're out of range of the pylons' attacks).

Happy New Years and Insane Food! in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, December 31 2005 16:20 Profile Homepage #14 Actually, in some places it is possible to change your time zone by going north or south, since the International Date Line "bends" around major land masses. As for leap seconds, they're needed to adjust the length of the year to account for the fact that the rotation of the Earth is gradually slowing down. Basically, the day is slightly longer than it was when the length of the second was originally defined, and so the number of seconds in a year isn't what it used to be. Leap seconds make up for the difference. Really, you should have predicted that there's a Wikipedia article on this.

Not too many wasps around here, fortunately -- they're not unheard of, but I haven't seen any around in years.

Pumpkins, zucchini and cucumbers all in the family Cucurbitaceae, so they're quite closely related, and it's not altogether surprising that they're able to hybridise. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
