Maybe a bit late but... did you ever defeat one of the "Undefeatable" Characters in an Exile game? Like in E3 (The only one I can speak of, since I HAD it registered), I managed to kill Rentar-Ihrno after a good, and LONG battle... the Empress was also supposed to be undefeatable, lived no more than a few minutes (Maximum) when I attacked her though... Those are the only "Undefeatable ones I can think of now... anymore you killed? -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

Good idea, which lets another ID pop up in my mind. As far as I've seen (and can remember from the Mac version, the BoE font "MaidenWork" isn't used anywhere in BoE itself. (At least I didn't see it, maybe something is wrong?) If it's really nowhere yet, use it in all/most texts, would probably look great... -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

Another minor improvemet: Make it possible to use custom scenario icons. Currently you can only use the pre-made ones (and a few buggy item ones, see Echoes: Black Horse), and this is probably the only graphic, which can't be changed through a custom graphics file... -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

It's quite odd that you're missing that file... but if it's really not there (It should be usually in your Scenario Editor Folder), just reinstall the game... (and either delete the old version, or just move the new installed BladBase file and delete the rest again, works with both the full and demo version) Or you can look around at the BoE Fansites for a edited BladBase files, there should be a few around with most/all remaining minor bugs corrected... (Which are still existent in the original version) quite useful edits... -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

Erm, Orcs? The Exile Universe is made to be different from others, or did you often see Nephs or Sliths in other games/books? There are enough other games with orcs, and few scenarios with orcs... (< 5 if any at all) Ogres are brute and dumb enough... The rest doesn't sound too bad...

IF suggestions are welcome (even though it's surely too late already), A5 (or A6 if it will come out someday) should be possibly a bit more like G4, like the characters should be able to move more anywhere than in squares like in all Avernum & Exile Games. It was never a problem to me in all previous A & E games, but somehow this doesn't fit anymore into A4, probably because of the new town = outdoors feature... which would lead to another thing: Training and loot. I played A4 for a bit, but believe to haven't seen any "unlimited" source of monsters or ways to get "unlimited" cash, in case a player got finance problems or spent too much skill points in non-battle skills and is too weak to fight properly... Would be nice additions, if possible... -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes. TM about one of his own Scenarios: "Well... enjoy... nevermind."

Don't forget we already have quite a lot of creations... if I remember right, ever creation has 2 special higher-leveled species, which makes... 15 Base creations (5 per type) x 3 = 45 creations... or maybe a bit less... but still quite a lot to choose from... -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

You sooner or later get a few returning darts, arrows or whatever anyway... or you make something yourself... but this is one of the things (which if not changed) makes Exile a bit more realistic than Avernum generally... Like in Exile, big fireball, big area hurt, no matter which being is in there... (Friendly Fire hurray!) In Avernum, cast, pick target, pick target, pick target... and never be able to hurt anyone else than your enemies... boring... and unlogical... -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

Yes, I have to agree clearly with you about it's simplicity, just thought that this would be another possibility if just enlarging won't work. Shouldn't be a problem with the file size anyway, most scenarios are < 1 MB anyway... Good to hear that anyway... -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

About the alien beast thing, if its not clear already, there's some problem in the program itself, not with the graphics or the graphic selection in the editor, the number to find the mind crystal graphic is just set twice or something like that... And here another thing, not a fix but useful if possible, especially for longer scenarios: Make the game save dialogs records in seperate files, so more/unlimited notes can be saved. If not possible, try to enlarge the dialog records, would be probably quite useful... -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

Better keep it as it is now. I think it was possible in the Trilogy, but was changed now with a good reason. (as *i said) Certain items in BoE are very valuable or even needed to win the current scenario, which really should be kept and not sold by accident. -------------------- Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

Well, I checked it yesterday again, before I freed the sliths, all was fine, when I've done this and returned all MY stored items were not there anymore. At later playing files (Around after the Battle for Zaevess) I saw that even the other stored items (Which I'm not allowed to take) vanished as well. Too bad that you don't fix them, I doubt it's a BoE error though... Well, I'll just leave Spears then just before choosing a side to play other scens.

Well, just after playing again, I noticed a bad bad bug, or misplaced special. Spears may be a bit old, but not too late for important bug fixes, or? Well, I just noticed that ALL items in Fort Silver have disappeared, including all items which I stored there. (Not too few) As much as I've checked, this probably happened around the time when I helped the sliths to free the slaves... Stareye, could you please at least look into it?

A thing about custom graphics for Mac users, to make it easier for everyone: Try to make the Editor and OBoE player accept BOTH .MEG files (so older scenarios can still be used) and .PICT files. Pict is to my knowledge the standard Mac picture format, as it is BMP for Windows. The Quality is quite the same as much as I've seen and .pict files are much easier to produce, which would be useful for every scenario creator. (And if a .meg file doesn't work but other graphic files are delivered with the Scen, the Mac user should be easily able to use it, once PICT gets accepted) Posts: 37 | Registered: Saturday, June 16 2007 07:00 |

After playing Spears (great scenario btw) once again I found a few special alchemical brew recipes already, but sadly I got no idea how to make those brews. I already got many of the items needed and tried to use them somehow in alchemical laboratories, but I failed to find a way to mix them... Any idea how this can be done? (And where exactly?)

Of course I know that it's that easy, but I mentioned this only, because otherwise town/outdoor nodes would be called, which could be confusing. Turning it off at all for this special would be an option as well, if it's possible... but due to it being a minor thing, maybe just forget it...

The ability is the special number? What does that exactly mean?

Hmm, I hope this isn't too late, but I think the boat is in a underground lab, where you meet the evil mage guy... after a boss battle you should have access to it, it's a part of the earlier history inside the scen...

Well, it's good to see that it's finally possible to change it... I'm currently working on a scenario with some nice extra features (I hope I get at least this one released) and without OBoE it wouldn't really work at all... By the way, where actually is the download mirror for the OBoE "Player" and Editor which you are working at, Stareye?
