I haven't really followed what you're doing, but if you have ten or fewer coordinates that you're feeding each script, you only have to write one. EDIT: And a quick skim shows me that you're already using some memory cells, although not, as far as I can tell, very many. Eh.

Well, Erika's an obvious choice. I chose Patrick because I like that his tower is a center for magical (and quasi-scientific) inquiry. Of all the Exiles, though — or Avernites, really, seeing as how I never played the Exile Trilogy — I like Rita (the researcher in Patrick's Tower), Elspeth (of Cotra in A1 and I forget where in A2), and, well, can't think of others right now, but a few others. Probably at least one in Dharmon (head priest of that temple, maybe) and one in the Formello region, a smith up in that fort, maybe.

May I take this moment to ask, yet again, WHY THE BLOODY HELL IS VAHNATAI HARD FOR YOU TO SPELL? VAH-NA-TAI. IT'S VERY SIMPLE, YET SOMEHOW IT GOES OVER YOUR HEAD. VAHNATAI. VAHNATAI. V-A-H-N-A-T-A-I. NOT VAHANTI, NOT VAHANATAI, NOT VANHANTI, BUT VAHNATAI. Sorry. It just pains my eyes greatly to see this.

Only in BoA, though. I don't know how it works in the Trilogy, and it appears that it works somewhat differently.

Um, again, why do you need a BoA trainer? It seems like it would be more useful to make a GF1 trainer.

Okay, more detailed report. Any floor or terrain (but not height adjustment) I place in 3D mode erratically gets placed both where I clicked and approximately six squares west and one square up from where I clicked. This location is not completely consistent, though. This seems to happen with any scenario that I open. I made a new scen with the 3D editor and it still happens. I am using Mac OS 10.2, 3D Editor v0.12b2. It seems to happen at any resolution or number of colors.

Quote: Originally written by Dahak: If I place any terrain or floor, the same is also placed (but not removed) 11 squares westward. I have the same problem. I would've responded sooner, but I haven't really been able to touch my scenario for some time. But yes, this bug shows up consistently.

As always, my information comes from Avernum, not Exile, but it should be the same. You can get to some Empire lands via boat by going west from Fort Dranlon and then north from the next outdoor section over. Proceed west from there (with a proper pass, I believe) and you can reach Harston and some other Empire-controlled areas. Not sure if this is what you had in mind, though.

I cannot for the life of me find a way in, and Schro's FAQ says, "You can't get into that secret room, unfortunately." I think there is no way in.

Bah, that is far easier than what I did. You can't just hit her with maxed stats, because no matter what your stats are, you'll end up doing no more than three or four damage per hit, and she starts healing herself at a certain point. But what I did (and this took forever, and Imban's plan sounds much better) is Forcecage her, wait for it to wear off, then hit her with three Cloud of Blades spells, and use the last mage to Forcecage her again before she could move. This required four magic-users with incredibly high Dexterity (and a LOT of patience), though.

Basically, no.

Click on "My Profile" at the top-right, then click on "View/Update Profile," then click on "Yes" under "Enable private messaging?" If a topic is locked but you want to say something, make a new topic in an appropriate place. One. One new topic. Don't resurrect an old one and say something totally irrelevant.

Uh, try to at least stay in the same thread or something. Quick tutorial on PMing: bring up the member profile for the person you want to PM (usually by clicking on that person's name next to one of his or her posts). In the upper right-hand corner, underneath "Profile for [whoever]," there should be a link that says Send New Private Message. Click that. Then fill out the PM and send it.

Hee hee hee... Er, in all seriousness, apparently I got my position because I help newbies with their questions. Make yourself useful and answer n00bish questions and someday you can become a mod, too!

No, you can't check an SDF from a previous scenario. As far as the other thread goes, my main point was that the posts were all from two years ago and clearly no longer relevant. EDIT: You may be able to pull some black magic where you check an item from a previous scenario, but I'm not sure if this would accomplish anything.

For crying out loud, PM him.

Avernumlover, don't resurrect old topics, and try to make sense if you do post.

To the best of my knowledge, 1 is not possible. I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about in 2, but it doesn't sound possible either. EDIT: More detail on 1. As far as I know, you can only use cr_which_sheet in your custom objects script, which is loaded when the scenario starts.

No index comparable to the index in Avernum Annotated Maps exists for A2. Either buy the hint book or ask a specific question. The walkthroughs at the top of this board are pretty good, too.

Yeah, my HLPM makes god parties pretty efficiently. Level 250, excessively high stats and overpowered weapons and items....

A fully independent site that stored the scenarios instead of just linking to them sounds like a really good idea. But what's going on with that idea about making these things designer-editable? I thought we were going to have a new database soon that would allow us to go in and update things directly instead of e-mailing and waiting. Er, and what do you want about NK0P? How long it takes, the number of towns, and the number of outdoor sections? As best I recall, it's something like an hour, 15, and 1.

Micael, grow up. Hrm. Would it be possible to cast Capture Soul on Erika and be able to produce a copy at will? Judging from BoA, she's an independent monster type. She also might not be capturable, judging from BoA, but it's a thought. I mean, without hacking.

Probably not and no.

As for your second question, get_species and species_in_party should be able to do whatever you need.

As always with A1, I am stealing my information from Avernum Annotated Maps . It appears that you cannot get the fourth part of the password to the surface without joining the Scimitar. Thus, you must join the Scimitar to win, as were244 said. Oh yes, and there is no disadvantage.
