nikki.

What Arancaytar said is probably causing this. I had the same problem. You should definately turn off anti-virus software before running GF on WinXP, and it helps on most other games, too.

If it appears on the info screen but not the abilities list, skill is the main problem. It takes 17, I think.

Did you check The Louvre? IF there isn't one here, it probably don't exist.

Sorry about the lateness, but I've been away so... Have you tried using macros? Instead of repeatedly coping and pasting, you could set up a macro to run when you pressed a key combination, such as Shift+F9, that could write all of the filler for you. Of course, macros can be nasty, and so you really should watch what you are doing with them. I've lost many hours of work by trying to save 5 minutes and using a macro, but it could work.

That's only if you actually want to change the picture for an existing item/terrain/whatever, or if you are adding new ones. If though, you just want a pretty picture at the start of your scenario, none of the above is needed.

Sounds like you pressed a little button along th bottom of the screen that makes just one character active. It looks like a little man surrounded by 3 littler men. Pressing this should make the rest of the characters active. I think (i) is a shortcut for this.

I had Toby and Rosie the Fyora's all the way through the game. They rocked, in a small, non-rocking way. Then, should I need cannon-fodder, which wasn't often as I play an Agent, I created a thahd, called Bruce.

And didn't my post explain that in a clear and easy to understand way mistica? Didn't my post explain that to pass through, you must step on the second rune from the end? Did it not have a funny little diagram? Why then, did you feel the need to post?

Haste level 3, coupled with slow level 3 for tough battles, Beast Ceremony for everything, and Divine Restoration for just about anything that ails me! Damage dealing spells? Repel Spirit at level 3 kicks proverbial ass against demons, and Fireblast is cool too. Radiant Shield is probably the best defensive spell. And the worse - Terror. Why oh why is it in there?

There should be 7 buttons, each one underneath a brazier like this: B B B B B B B X X X X X S X Where B is a brazier and X a rune. If you press (by standing on it) S, the middle brazier will go out, and you should be able to pass through.

I think what you are talking about is the location of Divine Restoration Level 3. What you need to do is use the horn twice to summon a big bunch of monsters, which when killed give you access to the tome. However, I've no idea what "reknowned" means. I suppose it means the groups reputation, but I couldn't even make it up there until I beat the Trogs, at which point my rep was already that high due to various quests I had done. As for strong, that probably means you need a set level of strength in your party, but again I'm not sure. I'll have a mess with the Character Editor in a while to check.

I voted demons, because I can. They are the best because they are so evil!! Either that or dragons, but they are so cliche!

Have you tried deleting the file that holds prefrences? I think it's called something like "Avernumdata", but don't take my word for it. Unfortunatley, if you registered, you'll have to get in contact with J.Vogel, because this unregisters the game. --Random Message - "No vahnatai were harmed during the development of Exile 3"

Quote: Originally written by You get NOTHING: Ok, first off, that made absolutely NO sense. Learn correct grammar. Second off, go to the link part of SpiderWeb's page, go to the BOA center, download the Item Editor... OR If you want to LEARN how to make items, go to the editor's folder, open the file called BOA editor docs, and go down to the part about custom items. This involves scripting, which if you haven't done any yet, you need to read the entire file before you can do crap... First of all, there's an item editor? I haven't seen one recently, but then again I haven't been to the workshop this week so... I usually find that just typing the item into the custom scenario data file, as explained in Chapter 2.8ish in the docs. And ignore the post by You get NOTHING. Most people on the boards are very nice, and a few are even legendary people! All in, if you ignore the idiots, you'll do just fine. Oh, and YgN, did you ever bother to think that Diablo-Killer doesn't speak English too well? EDIT: LONG POST! --Random Message - "Random Messages have replaced Random Facts, because I couldn't remember what number I got to. And they weren't actually facts. Oh, and I now have an enemy! - Step forward You get Nothing!"

You'll probably need LOTS more! Despite the fact that the gold cap is set at 15,000, you shuld try to reach it at least twice in order to get everything. Hawkes Manse costs aout 7,000 alone! --Random Fact Number 14 - "The gold cap sucks. Why did Jeff decide to cut it down from the 30,000 limit in Exile 3 and BoA? That's games designers for you..."

At least I hadn't used it yet. Do all the other item calls work? And where can I find a list of bad calls? --Random Fact Number 13 - "Avernumscript is remarkably easy, if you remember to carry the one."

Depending on what you're doing, might it be better to have an "outdoors town?" like in The Cave of No Return? Otherwise, I have no idea. The outdoor calls have no mention of this kinda thing, so I think you're stuck. --Random Fact Number 12 - "Blur are much better than Oasis. So there Luke Elliot Smith."

On the other hand, she might not get to be a Crystal Stone if there are lots of spirits around her corpse. Look at the Za-Khazi Run on BoA... -- Random Fact Number 7 - "These are NOT a rip-off of Aloraels signiture. They are completely original in every way..."

Playable - Nephilim. Something about cat-men is really cool! Non-Playable - Demons. They're soooo cool! --Random Fact Number 6 - "Sheep aren't just for Christmas..."

Quote: Originally written by Kreshweed: I think I once made up some sort of list after fooling around with the editor. I suspect it rests in the gentle waves of oblivion now, though. There is a list - I have it, but not on this computer. You used to be able to download it form the area of links at the top of the page, but I don't visit often enough to know now... --Random Fact Number 5 - "Cheese is one of the seven deadly sins of "Nikkidom".

On PC, you can control- (or shift-) click on the corner to get to that part of the screen quickly. But no, no zooming is possible.

Quote: Originally written by You get NOTHING: Well so far there seem to be people who love it, and people who hate it. To everyone who hates it. You get NOTHING. And thats all I gotta say to you. I do not plan on doing ANY monster placement, or scripting, or anything of the sort. A shell it would be indeed. Terrain for people who want it. I takes me about 10-20 minutes to get terrain done for one area. Taking this into consideration, I work on my scenario about 2-4 hours a day when I have the time. To put in an extra 30 minutes a day would be simple, and chances are, it would not take me longer then a few months at worst. Yes (Yes the person) If you want to help, make southern Avernum. (The last row of outdoor sections from the tower of magi and over.) Keep in mind that I am doing a A2 based terrain and doing it right. There will of course be small changes but only out of necessity. (for example if it is impossible to make a terrain the same, you don't, you simply work around it. EDIT: SupaNik, the only reason you can't make 10 outdoor sections is because you are lazy. Sorry, but I couldn't let this die without saying something. You'll see how lazy I am when I release "The Demon Stone". -- Random Fact Number 1 - "Thirty Helen's agree - Honesty is the best policy"
