Fledgling Fyora Taka Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi, I used to create maps for my friends years ago and used the good ol' Jaaari Monster Editor page thing, and as I was thinking of making another map for the same friends years later as a sort of surprise adventure, I found (to my dismay) that the Jaaari Monster Editor page was nowhere to be found! All the old links are dead and all the editing tools I used are now outdated! So my point: Please, if anyone is out there reading this, link me to a monster editor application or webpage. Either the old Jaaari one is fine or whatever replacement all of you must be using. Thank you for your time! And goodbye, Jaaari Monster Creator/Editor, old friend. -Taka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Was this a utility for Blades of Avernum, or Blades of Exile? I can't remember anything by that name for Blades of Avernum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'm sure it was a BoA thing. I think there was also an item editor, if I recall. Have you tried Overwhelming's site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I have both Jaari Editors, luckily Jewelz has them too: http://www.geocities.com/tracihedlund/TrueSite4Blades/BoA/boaJaarisCreatureEditor.html http://www.geocities.com/tracihedlund/TrueSite4Blades/BoA/boaJaarisItemEditor.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Taka Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks guys! Especially you Ishad! ahaha, Finally Finally reunited! And its for Blades of Avernum, Ephesos. In anycase, I now declare this topic closed, but everyone can still use the link as long as its here! Thanks a billion +1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Is there any chance of these scenarios you speak of being released to the general population? Our community could also give you advice on scenario creation, if you're interested. We can always use more designers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Taka Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Thanks for offering, but I made these maps with my friends in mind, they're highly specific on what characters to use and also in the in-game jokes. Oh, and there are some jokes that the general audience would probably find offensive. So yeah, sorry! but thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just because you can put in anything doesn't mean it's a good idea to put in anything and release it to the general public. If he thinks the scenario he's made isn't for everybody, you should probably respect his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fledgling Fyora TwilightUnicorn Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Both of the links brought me to a dead page. Are these "ThingCreators By Jaaari" anywhere to be found, anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yeah, my website moved.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Come to think of it, I've been tinkering on and off in VB6 with making some simple item & creature editors for BoA. Assuming anyone would be interested in them as an alternative to Jaaari's, I can dig them up again and finish them (if memory serves, they're relatively complete anyway).

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I remember trying these. I also remember them not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I hope you're referring to Jaaari's editors; I never published mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug PGLB Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I remember using Jaaari's editors quite a bit at some point. They work if you put them in BoA's data folder, where the editor and graphics are located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yeah, I was referring to Jaaari's editors. Though, I think the last time I tested them was when I was still using OS9... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Man, I never even tried using those... sounds like it could've possibly simplified the process a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Originally Posted By: Ephesos sounds like it could've possibly simplified the process a little. I know mine would've; the point of my attempt at making editors was to try and simplify the interface. I tried using Jaaari's editors; they're good, albeit rather cumbersome. By the way, I found my item & creature editors. The item editor is nearly complete and (as far as I can tell, since I'm my only beta tester) fairly bug-free, if anyone wants to host it and/or take a look at it.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I could host it for you, if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Cool! Just give me about a week to slap together some kind of user guide/FAQ (I don't know how to write actual help files). Also, when I originally wrote the editor, I tried to make it fairly self-explanatory. I'll also include the source code, in case anyone wants to look at that, too. And before someone asks, I'm going to release it as open source, so if anyone wants to add features, or port the editor to another language and/or operating system, feel free. Quote: Can also take a look if it's windows. It is. You might want to download the VB6 runtime files from Microsoft before trying the editor, though. I know my editors will run in Win98, XP, and Vista; I haven't tried Windows 7 yet (even though I have a copy), but I don't see why it shouldn't.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Okay ladies, gentlemen, etc., my item editor is all zipped and ready to go! Originally Posted By: Taslim I could host it for you, if you want. Just let me know where to send it, and it's yours to host. And as I said, I'm releasing it as open source, so everyone is free to port it to any programming language, operating system, etc. Originally Posted By: The Mystic some kind of user guide/FAQ This was the first time I've written one of these, so it's a bit amateurish (and it shows), but I think it gets the point across.

Fledgling Fyora TwilightUnicorn Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks, Jewels in Black! Sorry, I'm a bit late, to post my gratitude, as usual. But then, I guess it's better to be late to post than not to post at all. And did I read correct, that there is another patch of ThingEditors on its way to the people?

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Not quite. There is no patch; I rewrote the item editor basically from scratch using VB6, and am releasing it as open source. EDIT: That reminds me, I should really get to work again on my creature editor...
