I was helped by a member of this board on where to place the mirrors in the machinery section of Bahssikava. (and thank you very much--the topic disappeared before I could send it to you personally). But the hint refers to coordinates/locations. How do you find locations in Avernum?
Thanks in advance, Mako

In Bahssikava, you download the latest version and use the custom special ability.

Oh, and also, you'll need to give yourself that ability if you don't have it yet. To do that, open the script slithhome.txt, find the part that says

beginstate LOAD_SCEN_STATE;
init_special_item(1,"Metal triangle","This is a small, silver, metal triangle that you found in the depths of Ancient Bahssikava.");
and change it to say

beginstate LOAD_SCEN_STATE;
change_custom_abil_uses(0,2,1);
change_custom_abil_uses(1,2,1);
change_custom_abil_uses(2,2,1);
change_custom_abil_uses(3,2,1);
init_special_item(1,"Metal triangle","This is a small, silver, metal triangle that you found in the depths of Ancient Bahssikava.");

I uploaded the newest version and edited the file.

Now, BoA says it can't find a scenario when I try to load a file from the previous (i.e., in the machinery section). It will start a party at the beginning. Suggestions, please?

Did you make sure the new scenario folder and the old scenario folder had the same name?

I just used them as received and they are visibly the same.

You know, PCs are somewhat heinous about this. I'm not sure how to help you -- except that you might just copy the two critical pieces of code from the new version into the old version and work from that.

They are in slithhome.txt:

init_special_abil(1,"Phaedra Identify",17);
init_special_abil(2,"Party location",18); // INSERT THIS LINE

if (get_flag(250,8) == 0)
set_flag(250,8,3);
// TACK THIS ON AT THE END OF THE SCRIPT
beginstate 18;
change_custom_abil_uses(who_used_custom_abil(),2,1);

i = 0;
while (i <= 5) {
if (char_ok(i)) {
clear_buffer();
append_string("Character number ");
append_number(i);
append_string(" is located at (");
append_number(char_loc_x(i));
append_string(",");
append_number(char_loc_y(i));
append_string(")");
get_buffer_text(dlgstr);
print_str(dlgstr);
}
i = i + 1;
}
break;

Oh -- you're on a Mac? Then you don't have to update. You can just use the older version of Bahs, tell BoA not to take up the whole screen, and choose one of the choices out of the menu that tells you your party location.
