Lord Putidus in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, November 16 2005 15:46 Profile Homepage #2 The Make Potions skill is assumed to gather ingredients automatically; the ingredients themselves aren't actually items. You need to be outdoors and not have a full inventory of potions already, though. I haven't experienced the problem you describe, though; I figure it's either a corrupted download or a problem with your copy of BoA. Assuming that you're using the latest version of BoA (v1.1.2), try redownloading the scenario. (You need the latest version of BoA because the Make Potions script involves string manipulation calls, which 1.0.0 doesn't support.)

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, November 14 2005 19:13 Profile Homepage #3 Movement, from what I've gathered, is an unholy hybrid of Geneforge and Exile/Avernum. You click on a location and it automatically finds a path and moves you there along the path, but there's no walking animation to go with it, and movement is turn-based instead of real-time.

Save file in The Avernum Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, November 14 2005 18:07 Profile Homepage #2 The "Save" command will just save over either the last save file you loaded or the last save file you saved with "Save As". If you save your game without ever having used Save As before, it should prompt you for a location to save to.

This would fit in with party exploring and mapping an area (thus having a map of how it was) and then coming back to see the walls moved and thinking this is weird. This is how it worked in BoE.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, November 14 2005 17:48 Profile Homepage #39 quote: Originally written by NaNoWriMo: How do you pronounce a double-dotted i anyway? Is it just a long/stressed i, or does it sound different? In this case the dots above the i are being used as a diaeresis. They indicate that the vowel is intended to be pronounced separately from the vowel next to it. They're occasionally used in English words such as coöperation for the same reason (it's pronounced co-op-er-a-tion, after all, not coop-er-a-tion!).

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, November 14 2005 01:49 Profile Homepage #10 quote: Originally written by demipomme: If I am interpreting this script correctly, this makes the whole map "seen", which I suppose makes the automap look neater. I kind of want something that will make the whole map "unseen" (or at least a bit of it). Easy. Make the entire cave out of blackness to start with, and only place the walls and rooms after you've danced the party through all the blackness. That way, the whole map is "seen", but it's "seen" as blackness. (It isn't necessary to put the party on every space in town, though -- just make the initial blackness non-opaque, and dump the party on every 4th space or so. That'll still result in the whole town being mapped -- or rather, unmapped -- or better still, demapped.)
