(Almost)Everyone knows that you can create movies with BoE,bu it is time consuming,tedious and,unless i'm stupid,the party always shows up.So,it would be realy nice to create stuff similar to Avernum 3 intro with BoA,easily.Any changes that this could be in the game?

The party didn't appear if you killed them first, using a Kill/Raise PC node, stoning the entire party, and moving their items to a Saved Item Rectangle. It's been done before, although you have to come up with an explanation as to why the party is suddenly naked.

Having tried to make some mini-movies in Quintessence, IMO this is like using a hammer to drive a screw - you can do it, but man is it inefficient!

If BoA has the ability to display an external image like a GIF, I'd make an animated GIF for this. You lose sound, however.

Better yet, a FLASH movie. Just tell the user to access the movie at the proper time. Not seamless, but far easier to construct.

Well,then i possibly don't have problems making ending videos...

Edit:In my planned scenario with multiple endings,some endings feature a "dream" phase,like showing what would have happened if the player would have not chickened out and stuff like that.
Since you see dreams when you sleep,thats the explanation of the party being naked... ;)

Just make sure you let them pick their stuff back up before you take them out of the scenario, or you'll have a lot of angry players sending a lot of angry e-mail.

Of course.Actualy,there's some playing in most of the planned endings.I wish i could make somekind of script that would warn player if he forget his stuff.

A simple idea that could be used to somehow add another unique characteristic to each scenario is maybe the option to change the opening picture of BoA to one of ones desire, I dont think that would be hard to do since I believe I can already do it using ResEdit, but the idea is to have it as an option in the Editor. :P

Oh yes.Now that would be nice also.I wonder if we get the "special event" pictures in BoA,because none of the Avernums had them.
