Would it be possible for a new editor for blades to be made, that would still except the old format (obviously) but able to do a few things I've thought of, that would make it better, such as... [LIST] Custom Sounds, play music possibly? More options for item making, stronger abilites in items (if you wanted), some sort of feature that makes it easier to place custom graphics in the games... and so on and so forth. :D I think that would be great so if Jeff reads this he should really consider it, especially the part about making easier ways to stick graphics in. -------------------- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!

This indeed would be wonderful. However, Jeff Vogel has decided that Blades of Exile is now at the point where he's declared it to be a dead game, but he's still hoping someone, somewhere will buy it. Therefore, he won't fix it at all but still refuses to let out the source code so that we can fix it. It's not a good situation. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator.

I agree that the graphics are a pain in the @#$%, but other than that, a new editor isn't need. I think Jeff is giving way on exile and on with the other ones like avernum. If you ask me, exile is the best series Jeff has created... but that's just my opinion. -------------------- Real boyz kiss boyz Posts: 19 | Registered: Saturday, April 29 2006 07:00 |

stu_pidd_cow, the editor is filled with so many bugs that it makes the Guiness World record for flies killed in twenty minutes look pathetic. There's two(3?) whole articles at the Lyceum describing what's wrong with it. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 | Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00 |

And a plethera of bugs didn't stop a number of kickarse scenarios being made with it.

I think that despite BoE's somewhat numerous flaws, it still retains much power, flexibility, and simplicity. An update would be all this editor needs to go from "Good" to "Great!". -------------------- Umm... Posts: 17 | Registered: Saturday, December 11 2004 08:00 |

I believe most of us agree, it's too bad that it will not happen. But seriously, if I had a wish for one product to be native in Mac OS X, I'd definitely say BoE. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Would be a lot easier if Jeff invested the work. I'd be willing to pay $5-10 for an upgrade. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

When asked why he hasn't released the source code in an E-mail, Jeff sent me back this message; Quote: "It is something we might do some day, but there are legal issues involved. We need to go carefully before we do something like this. :( " Unquote Is there a reason that the Blades of Avernum editor source code was released so quickly? Wouldn't that be a far greater loss of profit to Spiderweb than releasing for BoE? -------------------- Umm... Posts: 17 | Registered: Saturday, December 11 2004 08:00 |
