When wearing it, certain gates in Avadon will open for you. 2 Blue Symbol This is a faintly glowing blue crystal on a silver chain. When wearing it, many gates in Avadon will open for you. 3 White Symbol This is a faintly glowing pearl on a gold chain. When wearing it, almost all gates in Avadon will open for you. 8 Runed Athame This is a tiny knife, razor-sharp and inscribed with runes. It has been enchanted with the ability to cut through magical wards. 9 The Krysanth This is a book of magical rituals and spells, written in an obscure runic language and bound in black leather. Holding the book makes your hair stand on end and your skin numb. 10 Beast Sample This gruesome trophy is a sample of flesh from the beast that was stalking townsfolk in Khemeria. The mages of Avadon wanted to examine it. 11 Moritz'Kri's Papers You obtained these records in the tower of Moritz'Kri. Hopefully, Avadon can use them to figure out who, if anyone, was supplying and commanding that rogue wizard. 12 Titan's Papers You found these ratty scrolls in the lair of the titans. Maybe they can help Avadon to determine who has been causing these creatures to invade The Kva. 13 Wretch's Message This is a parchment envelope, wrinkled and stained with bits of food. A wretch named Svarl gave it to you to deliver to Redbeard. 14 Blue Ore These fragments of rock look like iron ore, but with an odd, bluish tinge. You are collecting them in a burlap sack to take back to Goldcrag. 15 Titan's Club This is a titan's ceremonial club. The handle is polished oak and the head is wrought iron. The iron has a strange texture. The craftsmanship is very unusual. The thing is five feet long and very heavy. You wear it strapped to your back. 16 Dragon Tooth This is a fresh tooth of the dragon Zephyrine. A valuable and rare magical ingredient, in the right hands. 17 Ahmed's Libram This is the magical journal of a wizard named Ahmed. You try to understand the cramped writing within, but you don't understand it. It's not a sort of magic you have ever studied. 18 Wayfarer Message This is a message for the Wayfarer, describing why Ryozo was trying to hire the dragon Zhethron. You are supposed to place it under a barrel outside the entrance to the dragon's lair. 19 Ryozo Papers You found these papers inside Commander Ryozo's quarters. They are letters to the Tawon Empire, offering to try to turn the dragon against the Pact. If genuine, they are evidence of, at the very least, light treason. 20 Stolen Papers This is a set of records in a thick leather binding. The pages detail the boons requested from the dragon Zhethron over the last several months. The wretches have left the thing very grimy. 21 Corroded Circlet This is a very old and tarnished metal circlet. You found it in the lair of the titans. 22 Wooden Totem This is an old, polished wooden totem, covered with intricate carvings and set with semi-precious stones. When you touch it with your bare hands, you feel cold and full of fear. 23 Book of Recipes This is a book of potions recipes, taken from the tower of the wizard Moritz'Kri. You flipped through it, but you don't know enough about alchemy to make use of it. If you tried to use it, you'd probably end up poisoned and exploded at the same time. 24 Basilisk Eggs This is a clutch of four basilisk eggs. Small, tough, leathery things, that carry a singularly dangerous payload. 25 Drake Egg This is the egg of a drake, an extremely rare and valuable item among particularly ambitious or amoral wizards and animal trainers. 26 Magic Green Goo This is a clay flask full of green goo. The stuff is mobile, highly enchanted, and ready to be either studied or used in reckless magical experiments. 40 Unni's Blessing Unni, a shaman in Dhorl Stead, blessed you. Her ward provides a small amount of protection from magical attacks (fire, cold, energy). (1% higher resistance) 41 Unni's Boon Unni, a shaman in Dhorl Stead, blessed you. Her ward provides protection from magical attacks (fire, cold, energy). (2% higher resistance) 42 Hunter's Eye You received special training from a hunter in the deep woods near Dhorl Stead. Your missile attacks will do more damage (2 levels higher). 43 Hunter's Blade You received special training from a hunter in the deep woods near Dhorl Stead. Your melee attacks will do more damage (2 levels higher). 44 Ward of the Holklandan You received special training while in Holklanda. Melee attacks will now do slightly less damage to you. (2% higher melee damage resistance) 45 Cunning of the Kellem You received special training from a Kellem in Holklanda. You have a better chance of resisting enemy mental attacks. (8% higher chance of resisting mental attacks) 50 Avadon Cells Key This heavy iron key will get you into the inner cells and lower tunnels of the Avadon dungeons. 51 Avadon Gate Key You found this key on the body of Quiria, an escaped prisoner. It will open several gates in the Avadon dungeons. 52 Copper Wretch Key You found this copper key, green with tarnish, in the caves of wretches south of Zhethron's Aerie. 53 Iron Wretch Key You found this iron key, slightly bent and tinged with rust, in the caves of wretches south of Zhethron's Aerie. 54 Mine Key This is a heavy steel key. You obtained it in the mines in the Jhereth deeps. Three deep scratches have been placed halfway up its length, though it's not immediately apparent what they signify. 55 Oghrym'Tor Key You found this polished steel key in the fortress of Oghrym'Tor. 56 Spectral Key This strange key is made of metal, but translucent. It seems to exist halfway between this world and another. You found it in Moritz'Kri's tower. 57 Rusted Bandit Key This key was given to you by a shadowwalker named Harua. You met him in a bandit lair in the Beraza Woods. 58 Translucent Key You found this key on the body of the leader of a group of bandits in the Beraza Woods. It is made of crystal and is almost invisible. It must bear some sort of enchantment.

Has anyone posted lists of all the Abilities, Items and a reference for Avadon Scripting? For Abilities, i.e. #216 = Magical Damage etc. I don't find these in the Strategy Central topic or in a general search - as they exist for the Avernum and Geneforge Series. There are a number of Avadon-specific script entries that could use references/descriptions, like: ab_node_probability 1 = 0; ab_node_prob_per_train_level 1 = 5; ab_node_type 2 = 0; ab_node_effect_type 2 = 2; ab_node_base_amount 2 = 5; ab_node_amount_per_level 2 = 5; I may have missed these in my search, if so, a pointer would be appreciated. Cheers!

Having the experience recently of accidentally turning off the Character Editor for Avernum 3, and discovering that deleting the Avernum3.dat file did not work to reactivate the editor - I am happy to report a solution. This probably works for any of the Avernum series running on Win7. Deleting the Avernum[n].dat file in the C:\Program Files\Avernum [n]\Data directory is not enough. Windows 7 keeps a copy of this file here: C:\Users\[you or everyone]\AppData\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\Avernum [n]\Data\ Happy Sails!

After killing Gladwell, the gate is locked and I cannot exit Erika's Tower. Had to use 'backtostart' in the editor. Did anyone else have this problem?

Dear Jeff, E-mailed the script, but I neglected to say that I am mainly using Scintilla. I also use EditPad Pro and others - but each of them understands Mac/Windows line endings. The problem is in the parser. Regards, mrb

Dear Jeff, Thanks for checking again - and for the new version. Please don't think I'm being too 'pushy', but is it possible to make these upgrade/fixes in the form of patches, instead of having to download the entire app again? I am unfortunately on a dial-up connection for the next few months, and it really is sloooow!, a patch of whatever size would be a lot less painful than the current 1.5 hours to download a new version. There may be others in a similar situation. Thanks again, mrb

Dear Jeff, Your points about the compiler are well taken. I still believe the other issue, related to a huge difference in actual line numbers, has yet to be addressed. It is a definite possibility that the parser cannot differentiate between a Mac generated script and a Windows generated script, ie it doesn't understand or make use of the CRLF that is the common line-ender for Windows. Have you received any scripts from Windows users that show that problem? If not I will semd you one showing an error, just for example, at line number 476, when in fact the entire script has less than 230 lines. Regards, mrb

Dear Jeff, I did check the docs, and I am using the keyboard combination ' }= '. Then the keyboard commands, such as SHIFT + g, etc. None of that works for me. Regards, mrb

1. print_big_str_color() doesn't work. 2. Debug mode (for me at least) is limited to use of print_num() and print_nums() functions, which are both called from within a script. None of the keyboard commands work.

This is a real problem, since scripts may be constantly revised in both Win and Mac versions. Is the game parser able to discriminate between these two types of line-ending tokens? ie CR for Mac, CRLF for Win. If not, this will occur, again and again. Regards, mrb P.S. Asking Win users to convert to Mac text processors is not the solution, and a CRLF is the standard Win line-ender. I agree that a good text processor is needed by anyone serious about scripting - there are many available, freeware, shareware and commercial.

I'd like to be able to define my own functions, but that seems to be impossible now, so in lieu of that, I'd like to ask if at least a few more useful functions could be exported. My initial choices: Code: short max(short a,short {if (a > b)return a; else return b;}short min(short a,short { if (a < b)return a; else return b;}short minmax(short min,short max,short k) { if (k < min) return min; if (k > max) return max; return k;} If these look familiar it's because they are just lifted from the editor source. These would make scripting conditional loops a lot easier. I'd also really like to have better user input, using storable string and integer variables with at least a local scope. Regards, mrb

It is definitely not working. I've received the 'unknown command print_big_str_color() on line 476'. BTW, my script has less than 230 lines. This is one of the two remaining functions where integers can be printed (aside from the 2 debug print functions), so I'd really like it to be working. Anyone else found this? regards, mrb

Thanks Shyguy, I load it in LOAD_SCEN_STATE, which is where it should be, I think. I can use print_num() and print_nums() functions, so part of it (the part referenced from within a script) is working, but none of the keybard commands seem to work. Anybody else successful with this?

I'm not completely sure about this, but it seems that this function doesn't work. The reason I'm not comepletely sure is the that the script I'm testing still has 1-2 errors, and this seems to be one of them. I will locate it eventually, but I thought I'd ask in this forum about one of the likely candidates. Has anyone used it, is it working for you? Thanks, mrb

Downloaded the new BoA with Debug mode enabled <btw, why not just a patch? It can't be more than a few byte of code that were changed.> and tried it again. No go. Yes, I have put the turn_on_debug_mode() statement in my scenario script, and yes, I have used "} =" (that is SHIFT + ] then =, right?), still no go. I tried using SHIFT + g (ghost mode), etc, none of them work for me. Does someone have this working? Any help appreciated! regards, mrb P.S. I do get the 'Debug mode enabled' dialog when loading the scenario, so some part of it is initialized.

You might also look at NoteTab Lite, in addition to understanding Mac CR and Windows CRLF issues, it also has a built in macro facility. regards, mrb

I am using this script in a special town I constructed for debugging purposes. I wanted to be able to teleport into any town in the scenario without traipsing all over the outdoors. This state is triggered by a special encounter area on the floor in front of a portal. Obviously, any number of responses can be checked. Seems to work fine! beginstate 10; get_text_response("Enter town number:"); check_text_response_match("28"); if (got_text_match() == 1) { print_str("Your party is teleported to the Haverly Estate..."); block_entry(1); move_to_new_town(28,26,6); end(); } check_text_response_match("36"); if (got_text_match() == 1) { print_str("Your party is teleported to the Operations Center..."); block_entry(1); move_to_new_town(36,26,6); end(); } break; The key to this is the end() statement, working just like a C break statement. regards, mrb

We can use get_buffer_text(strvar). Of course, this is just to manipulate the str buffer and perhaps extend it a bit. Why no capturable user input? Regards, mrb

Alright, I'll try it again - this might be because I have been playing some ported scenarios from BoE, and the whole experience has been interesting...albeit frustrating as well :-). Thanks for your responses. mrb

Thanks K., I believe you've found the right function, and it can easily be made to return a string value etc - the problem of course is that BoA won't recognize it. I really do wish we had some user input :-(. Thanks to all. mrb

Is there really a debug mode? I can't make it work using: turn_on_debug_mode(); in the scenario script <or anywhere else>. Thanks, mrb

Am I correct that there is no way to capture input from the player for subsequent use? The get_text_response(str) just stores a string for later comparison using check_text_response(str). In other words, we can only ckeck if the response matches a predetermined string. Is that all we have available? Thanks, mrb

PLEASE IGNORE the above questions - all have been answered.

Probably syntax, but it's probably easiest to give a short example of what I'm trying to do: (note: ret,x,y variables already declared) beginstate 41; ret = get_text_response("Enter town number:"); x = get_text_response("Enter town number:"); y = get_text_response("Enter town number:"); if ((ret != "") && (x != "") && (y != "")) { move_to_new_town(ret,x,y); //should these be: >0 (integers) } break; doesn't work! For debugging purposes I've tried these after above: message_dialog(ret,""); or message_dialog(_ret_,""); doesn't work! Is this a strings/integers thing? Any ideas? Thanks, mrb P.S. Is there a concat operator?
