dgoodrich Apprentice Member # 5279	written Monday, March 14 2005 21:42 Profile #0 I don't know if this is the right forum or not. But I need some major help with making special encounters. First of all I'm using Jeff Vogel's version of the Windows editor. It's the only windows editor I can find!! I have a portal scenario exit. Also I'm working on some spell tomes. I can't find an error in the script file but the game WON'T call the script for the exit or the books.The script looks fine and the blue encounter square has the right script number in it. Could someone PLEASE send me a STEP BY STEP guide to special encounters for dummies. Jeff's instructions might as well be gibberish for all the help they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------------- Gotta keep Dancin' the weasels have almost got me!!!!!

If you entered the scenario with your party and saved, then added the special encounters in the editor afterwards, then as far as that saved game is concerned the rectangles still aren't there. For future reference, Erik Westra's BoA Cookbook generally provides more useful instructions than the manual: http://dnet.com/erik/BoA/cookbook/ -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Oh, and you may find my article to be of some use in conjunction with the Cookbook linked above.
