Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Friday, June 11 2004 10:20 Profile Homepage #0 Does anyone know why I'm haveing this problem... Whenever my party enters a town that I've made, I end up somewhere other than where the entrances are - and it's beginning to be really annoying... -------------------- "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!

Qalnor Warrior Member # 20	written Friday, June 11 2004 11:21 Profile #1 I encountered a problem like this once, perhaps yours is the same, though I can't swear my solution is the only one. In any regard.. I haven't experimented with it extensively so this may not be perfectly accurate, but I believe the town needs to at least be 3x3, and it may need to be a perfect square. If you have a smaller one the game does not check what direction you were moving when you entered the town, but rather what square you entered. And how is it to decide which is north, south, east, and west if there are only two available options? It chooses the default. If you want to limit the number of entrances to your town, I think you have to block off some of the squares. Anyhow I don't know for sure that this was your problem, but hopefully so.
