How do install downloaded scenarios for Blades of Exile? in Tech Support
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 10 2005 15:50 Profile Homepage #17 Make sure that there aren't any files other than .exs and appropriate graphic files (.bmp for Windows, .meg for Mac) in the scenario folder. A friend of mine had a similar problem to yours, and found he'd inadvertently put a scenario readme file in the scenarios folder; once he removed it, the custom scenario selection dialog worked fine. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 10 2005 05:10 Profile Homepage #27 COBOL was designed to look as much like natural English as possible, and to make sure that programmers adequately commented their code. The actual effect of both of these "features" is mostly to force people to type lots of long sentences (which still have to be perfectly syntactically correct, of course). Early COBOL compilers were ridiculously strict about syntax, even to the point of requiring correct capitalisation and indentation, although this has become less true in recent years.

I suppose it's a social phobia of sorts. It doesn't seem likely that additional money on its own will remedy this. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

The blocks always move the same way, so by memorising what places are safe at different times it should be possible to keep playing until they start moving so fast that either your reflexes or your web browser's drawing code can't keep up.

Member # 869	written Wednesday, November 9 2005 19:22 Profile Homepage #8 To survive the sliths, start every outdoor fight with Major Haste and Slow Group, then have your fighters move to close range with the archers so they won't shoot. EDIT: Ah, wait, you're not using magic, right? That's going to make things... difficult. Well, moving to melee range is still good advice.

An "avatar" is just the physical incarnation of a deity; different deities have different avatars. The term is from Hindu mythology.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, November 9 2005 04:41 Profile Homepage #63 I suppose, then, that either I'm unusually resistant to suggestion or I'm excessively frugal. It just seems to me that given a choice between a non-essential object and the amount of money it costs, most of the time I'd rather have the money. Given the choice between a brand new $1000 refrigerator and $1000 in cash, assuming you already have a refrigerator that works well enough, you'd take the cash, right? So why spend $1000 on that same refrigerator when you see it in a store? There's almost always going to be something better you can buy with the same amount of money later on. (I'm also the sort of person who doesn't mind receiving cash as a gift and finds the idea of gift vouchers silly, which I'm reliably informed makes me weird, so it does seem likely that I'm not a typical member of the population with respect to purchasing habits.)

I cannot help but be amused by the fact that although you were so annoyed by the inability of others to detect your sarcasm in TM's moniker topic, you are equally unable to detect the sarcasm of others. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, November 9 2005 00:25 Profile Homepage #60 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: Having money and not wanting any of the things you could buy with it is actually an undesirable state for most people. So we are happy to pay for the advantage of wanting a product we can buy. See, this is an attitude I don't understand. If one already has everything one wants, isn't it more sensible to work fewer hours or save up for an earlier retirement rather than searching for new things to buy? If one really enjoys working, well, one can always donate to a charity or something, but actively wanting to become dissatisfied with new aspects of one's life so that one can buy new things to address that dissatisfaction seems rather perverse.

It is far, far more likely that your antivirus software is possessed by the Devil. I recommend calling an exorcist at your earliest convenience. On a more serious note, antivirus software has a tendency to flag anything remotely suspicious as potential malicious activity, even when it's actually completely innocent.
