I have three questions on the editing capabilities of the upcoming Blades of Avernum. One, can you create custom monsters with different stats, graphics, and sounds? Two, can you create new weapons, artifacts and normal weapons. And three, is there a site up yet that explains how to modify things in Blades of Avernum? btw, I did read the document that Jeff posted on Blades of Avernum, but I don't think he covered these particular questions. -------------------- The power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and no one will ever save you. ~ Ender Posts: 3 | Registered: Thursday, July 10 2003 07:00 |

Yes, yes but items with custom graphics cannot be taken from scenario to scenario, and it depends on what things you mean. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

You can't edit sounds in BoE, and I doubt you will be able to in BoA. Stats and graphics are easy, though, and custom graphics only slightly harder. You can create just about anything on an item you want. The two catches are the custom graphics, as ADoS pointed out, and the fact that items with scripts attached probably won't transfer either. No, there is no guide to using BoA yet. There is no BoA for a guide to be based on. —Alorael, who is sure some helpful person will make one once BoA is available. And if not, you can always ask here. Also, the manuals for Spiderweb games are usually good. BoE's manual does cover most of what you need to know if you take the time to read it.

Just to clarify... no custom sounds. I was told this personally by the big man himself (Jeff, not God). -------------------- DEMON PLAY, DEMON OUT! Posts: 1582 | Registered: Wednesday, November 13 2002 08:00 |

is there another site where we can put graphics for BoA than the one* for BoE ? I can create few graphics for those who want (few). *Le Louvre -------------------- "Plan as strategist, act as primitive" R.C. Posts: 335 | Registered: Sunday, April 27 2003 07:00 |

quote::confused: :confused: The Louvre [i]is[/is] for BoA, not for BoE. Or did you mean is there a site like the Louvre but for BoE? What you said sounded like 'is there a database for BoA graphics?', and the Louvre is one. If you mean a searchable database for BoE, I don't think there is one, but it would be cool if there was. ;) So far there are only normal archives for BoE. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Actually there was a BOE database. Of course, I don't remeber the URL, and pages with links, or even if it exists. But there was one. And it was crammed full. -------------------- DEMON PLAY, DEMON OUT! Posts: 1582 | Registered: Wednesday, November 13 2002 08:00 |

Are you sure there aren't any ways around it using scripting and telling it to look for the sounds at a different location? -------------------- The power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and no one will ever save you. ~ Ender Posts: 3 | Registered: Thursday, July 10 2003 07:00 |

lol I'm so absent-minded ! I didn't see now Le Louvre became officially for BoA, but I think it was for BoE before... sorry :rolleyes: there is really anything in this site... but also few good graphics.

The scripts aren't true programming. You can only have the do in-game tasks, nothing involving the computer. I imagine that would be a pain to set up for both Macs and PC's as well. —Alorael, who doesn't think any good workaround will appear. If you can come up with one when BoA is out, though, everyone will be suitably grateful. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |
