Ok , I figured out what happened in the catacombs. I got stuck in the room your not supposed to be able to get in to. I had to start the whole story over. I don't know how I got in it, but when I did, I would go to leave and I would get a message about not how I wasn't supposed to go in there. Little glitch I guess?

Ok: how do you get into the secrete room in the tiger lair?

Can you get into the lab that is inside the the castle that you start in ?

What's the deal with the underground inn? All I seem to be able to do is get the bartender thrown into jail.

Can you get to the goblins ?

Can you complete the senario without dying ?

I love this story, I bet It took sombody a long time to put all the elements together so well. cudos to the author. When is your next senario comming?

Sounds like you triggered the fight-end-combat glitch. If you exit combat mode, BoA sometimes puts you in slightly weird places. Fortunately, you can usually undo it by entering and exiting combat mode a few more times. (Unfortunately, that's not much help to you now.)

And get a nice reward for doing so. :P

You can also talk to one of the patrons and buy priest spells from him (he's just south of the bartender).

Yep. You'll need some of the explosives from the bugbear caves.

No, but hey, it doesn't *actually* kill your party, so you can still use it in other scenarios.

But Thuryl, that's impossible...

Look in the editor for yourself. Those terrain spaces are blocked to NPCs- I'm a more responsible designer than one who would leave loopholes like that.

Which makes your error report all the more confusing- did you get any error messages? What happened?

EDIT: By the way, you don't need explosives to get into the goblin cave, just explosives to get its mithril.

Nope, I didn't get any message other than "you can't go in there" or whatever. BUT I was allready in there and I couldnt get out. I walked around the whole room. I tried filling it up with summoned creatures and using the combat reposition, but nothing worked, I couldn't get out.

Can you get into the secrete room in the tiget lair ?

Yes, but you need the Obispopiedra you'll get later from Emery.

What, still no luck? What exact version of BoA are you using, and are you running it on Mac or Windows? Have you tried redownloading Canopy in case the download was corrupted or incomplete?

I have Windows XP home, BoA 1.0.3, and I downloaded Canopy off Terror's Martyr University.

Yes, but did you try deleting Canopy and downloading again? Sometimes a download gets corrupted during the download process.

Alternatively, post copies of Canopy's scenario script (canopy.txt) and special objects script (canopydata.txt) here exactly as they appear in your copy of the scenario, so that we can see for ourselves if they were corrupted.

All Scry does is print HP values, MP values and possibly other information in the message window. It doesn't even do that for you? And none of the other wands work either?

Well, post the scripts then, I guess. They work for everyone else, but we may as well take a look.

(Also, what program are you using to unzip the scenario? And do you experience any other problems other than the wands not working?)

Open the Canopy folder. In the Canopy folder, open the files canopy.txt and canopydata.txt. Copy (Ctrl-C) their entire contents from the text files and paste (Ctrl-V) them into the post window.

I recall doing this also. I just reloaded though. Don't recall how I did it or if it was before or after the battle.

Fine. I'll post the appropriate sections of the code from my copy of Canopy. Search for them in your copies of the scripts and see if they are as they should be.

Item definition for Scry in canopydata.txt:

it_floor_which_sheet = 1038;
it_floor_which_icon = 6;
it_inventory_icon = 7;
it_ability_1 = 219;
it_ability_str_1 = 50;
it_value = 0;
it_magic = 1;
Item use script for Scry in canopy.txt:

Could be that the problem's in your saved game. Try leaving the scenario, starting over and seeing if they work properly then.

Uh, could be. Are you sure the character who is actually carrying the Scry wand you're using has at least 1 SP?
