Can someone please explain how the whole 3-D direction thing works? I still can't figure out which monsters are adjacent to which of my characters half the time. >_> Sometimes it seems like I'm way far away from a monster, and I take a step toward it, only I don't, I attack it; sometimes I think I'm adjacent to one but I'm not. It confuses me horribly. ^^;; -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi. Ambrin walks up to them and says, "Hey! It's the Triad!"

Looking at the automap may help, or if you're looking at the automap already, looking at the main screen may be more useful. The iso-3D thing is based on a 2D engine. Do you use the mouse or the keypad to move? (Or the arrow keys?)

I don't really understand what's so difficult. 1) I recommend to use the arrow keys, and not the mouse as in Exile. Only use the mouse if you want to make a step diagonally. 2) In a fight there are these drwan squares on the floor? look at the squares if you're always confused. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

You can also turn on the grid in the preferences. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Grid... that might help. ^^ Thanks, guys. -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi. Ambrin walks up to them and says, "Hey! It's the Triad!" Kelner snorts and says, "Pretty minor Triad if you ask me." Posts: 242 | Registered: Thursday, June 16 2005 07:00 |

The grid helps bunches. Otherwise, just keep guessing. -------------------- DEMON PLAY, DEMON OUT! Posts: 1582 | Registered: Wednesday, November 13 2002 08:00 |

You should also (if it's Avernum 1) look at the left mouse-right mouse thread to see if that might be the problem too. (It's annoying to walk 2 steps, or one and then attack). http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=001692 [ Tuesday, August 09, 2005 21:09: Message edited by: Lochmacher ] Posts: 21 | Registered: Sunday, March 30 2003 08:00 |

If you're uring the numeric keypad (which I recommend), make sure NumLock is on. -------------------- "Insanity is okay, but stupidity is inexcusable." -Kenda Nicole Brand Jacob say, "Man who smoke pot, choke on handle." -Jacob Doran Posts: 202 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
