1) Aside from what Jeff says, there are linguistic reasons why most people say "gene" and not "ge-neh" when they read the title. Trenton correctly points out that "ge-neh" is the way we pronounce "genetic" -- which, of course, has the same base word as "gene". In English, the way we pronounce vowels changes depending on the context within a word. "Gene" has a long e sound because it's one vowel-consonant-e syllable. "Genetic" has three syllables, gen/et/ic; the first syllable has a short e sound because it's a closed syllable. If "Geneforge" were its own word, unrelated to "gene" and "forge", it too would have three syllables and be pronounced the way Trenton suggests: gen/ef/orge. However, because Geneforge is, quite blatantly, a compound word, we use the syllabification of the original words, which means it's two syllables, gene/forge. You can see the same thing at work in words like scapegoat, firefly, limestone, household, etc. 2) Although there's (clearly) far more contention over the way to pronounce GIF -- not least because acronyms are sometimes allowed to flout language conventions -- the language agrees with you there, Trenton: English normally has a soft g sound when the g is followed by an e, i, or y. However, because there are some prominent exceptions (especially, I think, "gift"), some people end up pronouncing GIF as if it's an old Anglo-Saxon word instead. This one is a lot more ambiguous, but people who say the soft g is "definitely wrong" are definitely wrong about at least the "definitely."

Despite the fact that it says "Yesterday" that post is actually quite old... SV closed in July, 2011.

Gratulationes.

Yeah. Apparently APFS has also caused serious problems with Illustrator, Unity, and Steam, among other applications.

If you want to use the user-made graphics in your own publicly distributed work, you're going to need permission from the users who made them -- not from Spiderweb.

They did not. The whole party started with Soldier Clearance, however -- that's just what it was called, because they were all soldiers in the army, regardless of specialization.

I would also point out that the complete saga on GOG is only $12, less than half the original price of BoA and, frankly, a ridiculous steal for 7 massive games -- that is probably why no one has bothered to release it as a standalone purchase.

Whoa, unexpected. Fine by me, I should say, but I'm still surprised.

This is probably going to happen. I can't remember if Jeff specifically said so or not, but given how vocal the people who didn't like this change were, I'd be surprised if it sticks around.

Your "walkthrough" was technically wrong, but it's hard to reach level 35+, and even if you do, you won't get more than one level of skill points that way without some seriously ugly, ridiculous grinding. For all intents and purposes, you have skill points up to level 30.

Missile weapons includes bows as well as thrown weapons. (Also, FWIW, Sniper is not an especially great skill.)

Is everyone also you there?

Huh! I stand corrected. Sorry about the incorrect info.

A:EFTP did not have a disk. A1 did have a CD. Those are two different games. And you can download all of them from Spiderweb now. Are you sure you bought A:EFTP? Between your reluctance to just get a re-download from Spiderweb, and your insistence that you had it on a disk, it kind of sounds like you actually bought A1...

You don't remember your name, or your address from two years ago? EDIT: Also, wait. What do you mean your installation disk was stolen? A2:CS never had an installation disk...

Hmm. That's weird. Maybe there's also a reputation check involved? I don't have G4 installed, but perhaps someone else can look up the script and see what gets checked.

Alhoon and TheKian are correct. If you split the Moseh and Monarch's notes decisions between the two sides, they will both give you access to their exit from the Fens, but if you pick the same side for both, the other side will not give you access.

Those are different goals, but Moseh is the main trigger for how each party reacts. The only things that you can't combine are helping Moseh and killing Moseh -- it's one of the other on that, and that is what determines the (story) outcome for the barrier zone. http://minmax.ermarian.net/g4/g4q.html If the Rebels seem unhappy, it's also possible your reputation is just on the Shaper side.

Triumph's time as a grad student is history!

Just wanted to note, for anyone who stumbles on this, that the seamless map version posted earlier does not include Vahnatai lands, so is not quite the whole world map.

Nope, there's no override for this. Older Spiderweb games let you do this. My guess is that the option, while neat, may not (on the developer's end) be worth the potential it creates for broken events and quests.

Yep, that's definitely a syntax error in your script. I think a simpler solution would be for you to paste whatever you added to your broken version here. Then we can go through it and find the error. If you added things in multiple places, just find the section near line 13521. (Sometimes the game doesn't count lines exactly the same way a text editor does, but it should be close enough to distinguish middle vs end of the file.)

Cromagnon, you may be thinking of the Linux version of Exile III, which seems to have been a one-off.

What message appears in the console? That sounds like you have a syntax error in your script -- could be something as small as a missing semicolon or random extra character. It might even be a stray keystroke that ended up in a completely different part of the script.

I'm not going to argue this endlessly. Respectfully, I think this is an unfortunate direction for the OBoE project to be going in. Thankfully, it will probably never happen anyway.
