Sent you a private message. My email is still in whack, and doesn't seem to be able to talk to your provider at the moment. - Archmagi Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Okay. Good Luck. I'm hoping that people will have time to play it now. BTW, if you smash the control panel now in The Vahnatai Pit, you won't be transported into he Traversai/Vahnatai Lands area. - Archmagi Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Okay. Read your report. Considering it only contained 2 errors, I think that was quite good. * I must have accidentaly put wind.txt in the oldfiles.rar file (though I can't be certain!) * I probably never moved the inn's MOVE_PARTY location when changing it into Magical Grove. Surprising this bug hasn't been picked up before! The Quests are going to stay like that, even in hte finished version. It's the only way that you can see what quests you have been given earlier in the game. Hopefully other scenarios will begin to adopt this. Good job on getting the password!

Okay: Okay, kind of a lot of stuff, but I think this is the last of it. The First Tower: The name is a bit odd for a town. No-one ever said the Vahnatai had good names for places. In A3 and E3 Rentar's tower was called Tower, or Fortress or something. This just continues that tradition. It is meant to be like this. What is that sound of something being destroyed when the town is entered? Nothing collapses, but there is a sound that implies something happened. This i honestly don't know, and have tried to track down before (without success) When I'm walking south along the east wall I hear creatures fighting. By the text at the bottom of the screen an “Aranea” and an “Elder aranea” are fighting. Did you intend on some of them being friendly? Also the “a” in “Elder aranea” should be capitalized. Fixed it. SOme of them were hostile A, when they were meant to be Hostile B Vahnatai Wall: It is still possible for the player to go around the town following the outer walls. If you want them to have to go through the town you need to make walls, cliffs, rock, or trees that extend to the edge of the map, You are meant to be able to go around it. But since you can get a second Bladesmaster sword here... Pit of Vahanatai: When you see Rentar Ihrno you get the massage: “You come face to face with Rentar Ihrno - again. This time she's really here, and doesn't look happy.” The PC is not told that the first encounter was with a shade (back in First Tower, with the dialogue box), so arguably this doesn't need to be said. Maybe not, but it does definitively say what is going on Magical Grove: In the inn there is a flogon on the floor behind the bar. Either that is meant to be on the counter or the innkeeper doesn't clean up. Fixed that. Considering she's just a simulacrum, she can't (or shouldn't) be untidy. About Dialogue: In Magical Grove while speaking with “Merchant” the text looks right. There is none of _this_, and when talking to “Slith high priest” (should be capitalized) some lines are like _this_ and some are not. Being that it's only like that some of the time it suggests this is a scripting problem rather than a Mac/PC problem. It's an error with scriptingthjat occurs in Macs. Jeff's script just works around it. Mine doesn't. I will fix that when I send it to Spidweb, and have it released onto MAC Outside of Magical Grove: There is a waterfall the flows from the sky. Check your terrain in that area. Something is not right about the way the different levels work. Maybe hills are needed in places, or certain places need to be elevated or lowered. Sorry that is so vague, but it just doesn't feel right the way it is laid out. Also southwest of the town is a cliff with no waterfall, very odd looking. Hmm. Terrain looks a bit better now Password: memphis, egypt Yay! I've had to change this again! So, Version 9.4 includes this official bug report, and also an unofficial bug report, from an unnoficial tester. - Archmagi Micael P.S. Version 9.4 is availiable to download from the same URL as 9.3 P.P.S. Also, Does anyone else have any of the orginial UV versions? The earlist I have is 8.0 -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Just so you know: Imban says you do not include a change-log. You should; it's impolite to make players run through the entire scenario looking for changes. -------------------- The biggest, the baddest, and the fattest. Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Wizcozski has requested that I take over her beta testing position, so send future e-mails to me instead of her. It's tomwatts (*at*) berkeley (*dot*) edu. Even Bahssikava only had four testing versions altogether (if you count the first one, which was partial). I think it's about time that this one simply get put out there and considered finished. And if you want to keep designing, start fresh with something new. But eh. I haven't played UV yet, and I have a fair bit of free time on my hands now, so I guess I'll give it a shot and submit a beta report. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I finished 9.3. It is playable, but needs a bit more polishing. I think it could use some detail work. There are no longer too many items. The fights are better. The lever tricks work better. Now it needs little detail work. The terrain is much better. It is still a bit odd looking. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

I think after these couple things he could release it. Most things being fixed now are touchups. Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

I'm working on it, thanks for the info. I'm going to leave the terrain and stuff alone though, cause I like it how it is. - Archmagi Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!
