I can't be bothered to post it twice: [url=http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002465]http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002465[/uR L] EDIT: there's something wrong with the URL thing. It's not working! - Archmagi Micael

No offense or anything JadeWolf, but if you are going to have a go at someone for spelling and/or grammar, it is somewhat imperative that your own post is flawless. (yeah, this is my first post for about 2 years, but I read things and rarely find need to comment, bring on GF3, by the way, http://www.veraxin.net/revelation for MUD lovers.) Edit: broken tags Welcome back. And if you've been looking in the GF3 forum, you'll notice that the unofficial news is that it will probably (hopefully) be out either this week, or next. - Archmagi Micael

Is there any way that you and the other person who made the G2 character editor (the txt file one), could work together or something, cause I've already got an editor in town one, so I can't use this one. But then again, considering I refuse to cheat whatsoever in the game, why am I complaining? - Archmagi Micael

I use all three. I either have a 3-person party, or a 4-person party. I don't want to be seen as racist. When I've got The Maze finished, I may get back to playing either A3 or E3. - Archmagi Micael

Is that before or after it gets attacked by the Demons? - Archmagi Micael

I've got the demo of E2 on an old BoE disk. That should be version 1.0 I'll just check! EDIT: Sorry - disk isn't old enough. It says version 2.0.1 - Archmagi Micael

Here, Try this. I know that this font works, so maybe this will fix whatever problem you have. http://hometown.aol.co.uk/Micael%20456/FORUMSPIDWEB/Maidword.ttf - Archmagi Micael

I'm working on The Maze right now, just started the other one for a few hours. Once The Maze is done, I'll work on the other one (A obscure GF one). - Archmagi Micael

Okay. Go to your WINDOWS folder, and you should see a folder named "FONTS" in there. Drag and Drop your MAIDWORD font (the one in the game directory) into this folder. That will install it into Windows (it will not harm your system). IF THAT DOESN'T WORK: Try re-downlaoding the game. It's possible your installation file itself got corrupted or damaged while you were downloading it. So uninstall your game, then re-download the installation file and install. It will hopefully work. - Archmagi Micael P.S. OS does mean operating system, and the game folder is the program directory.

What OS are you using? - Archmagi Micael

Quote: Originally written by Auri Fitzgerald: Is it possible to be with more than one? Like play two sides of the board and then doublecross one in the end? I think I am too much a person of principle to join the takers. Even the Barzites with their promise of awesome canisters so far don't tempt me. By principle I like the Awakened best (although I get so sick of "What your kind did to us" when it was never ME who did it!) Nijojo No. You can only be a member of ONE sect at a time. Personally, I think the lot of you are dangerous rogues, and should be wiped out (as us shapers do to rogues). - Archmagi Micael, who hopes they don't take it too personally.

I think you may have to talk to the Vahnatai in Gihkra after finding the evidence. Then you find that they move... I think this is right. - Archmagi Micael

Quote: Originally written by Dervish Malachai: BoE is great, don't get me wrong. Still, BoA offers SO MUCH more freedom in terms of design that I don't it's a halfway-reasonable choice in terms of flexibility. I have to agree. While BoA is woefully lacking in decent spells, as you can tell by PRIEST SPELLS doing more damage than MAGE - WT...? It makes up for in designing capabilities. I tried once (ages ago) to make a BoE scenario. The BoE designing system was so flawed that I had to scrap my scenario idea cause it just couldn't be done. Now I've finished Undead Valley, 1/2 way through The Maze, and working on another one (which will remain nameless for now) which will have stuff that only BoA can use. BoE might have been better if it had been updated over the years, but it's just too far behind the times now. - Archmagi Micael

Quote: Originally written by Kelandon: I did this in LP. You just make graphics that have the same ID as the ones you want to over-write, and tell PC users to copy them over into their data files. You can just include it in the .cmg file for Macs and it will work more or less fine. If you want to look at how I did it, just download Lord Putidus. I was wondering wether I would ahve to do that. It's a complete swap of all of the PC pictures. That's a VERY big graphics file size, for a SMALL scenario. Anyway, Can't say more about what I'm working on, though I have taken a few hints from your Bahssikava cut-scenes (fancy images etc). I'm also using a SDF txt file now, so I don't forget what Flags have been used or not. - Archmagi Micael

Quote: Originally written by Thuryl: Since it's not a documented or supported feature, just exploiting a quirk of the way graphics are handled, it won't necessarily work the same way on both platforms. Judging from past experience, if you email Jeff, he's more likely to deliberately take the ability to override default graphics out of the Mac version than put it into the Windows version. Yeah. But if something's only for MAC, or only for WIN, it makes it useless anyway. Emailed asking how he's doing it in his Ursagi one. - Archmagi Micael

Quote: Originally written by Thuryl: Ah, you're using Windows, aren't you? Then you might be out of luck. If it can be done for MAC, JV should have made it possible to be done with WIN. Perhaps a call in the scenario script would do it? Or maybe i should just email and ask him. - Archmagi Micael

Quote: Originally written by Thuryl: It's pretty easy. Every graphic in the standard BoA set has a sheet number attached to it; you can find these numbers by poking around in the graphics files. Just include in your scenario a custom graphic sheet with the same number as the default graphic you want to replace. That was the first thing I tried. - Archmagi Micael

Guys, I'm pretty sure this can be done, but I don't know how. What I want to do is to "Force" one of my own custom graphics over the standard BoA character pictures. So basically, I want to the game to read MY custom graphic instead of the standard, but I don't want to permanately affect BoA. I want this to work JUST in my scenario, and not in others. I hope that makes sense. I heard that someone else was doing something similar, just with Ursagi. Maybe that code will help... Thanks! - Archmagi Micael

While this may be a fascinating question, It should really have been posted in hte Avernum Trilogy Forum. this isn't a technical problem. You're just stuck. But then again, you're new, and probably didn't know this. On topic: Which Avernum is this? And Welcome. - Archmagi Micael, who's beginning to think Alo really doesn't care that he's doing this.

Erika's arrogant, but she's not evil. So don't say she is! OR READ (and suffer the consequesnces) of MY SIG! - Archmagi Micael

Don't bother re-downloading the entire game, just downlaod the latest patch for your OS. If you have the original (of a CD or something), it won't be upgraded with all of the latest bug-fixes. Good Luck! - Archmagi Micael P.S. If that doesn't work, do what St. Kateus told you to. EDIT: COULD SOMEONE PLEASE PUT SOMETHING IN THE GF1 FORUM. I GET ANNOYED STILL SEEING MY NAME HERE! EDIT 2: thanks Marlenny

Quote: Originally written by BainIhrno: *sniff* The last major BoE thing ever. *sniff* What will become of my new scenario that I am working on? *sniff* Oh well, I'm pretty sure he doesn't need to continue making scen contest for BoE. I mean, the only reason he does it is to make people create scenarios, which will atract more people to the game! And considering it has over 250 scens (last time I bothered counting), I don't think BoE really needs any more scenarios. - Archmagi Micael

The problem (as far as I can understand it), is that when Member 5 (MM), for some reason got corrupt, it created problems for the system. While we may get this message: Member profile corrupt (blank): '00000005' , it won't actually harm us. It may only lock us out for a few hours. (I had that). However, for MM, whose file was the corrupt one (he was member 5), it totally erased. Hopefully whatever caused the corruption isn't contagious (figuratively speaking), and we don't get it as well. I'd hate it if Member profile corrupt (blank): '00004506' suddenly turned up. Anyway, Bad Luck MM, but look at it this way, you've got sympathy from the Board (which is hard to get), and it might even get fixed (someday)! - Archmagi Micael P.S. I wonder what SpiderWeb Glitch IV will be?

To be honest though, I don't think Jeff will ever get the time to make another NETHERGATE. He's starting A4 after releasing G3 for WIN, so it will be at least another year before he's free to make another game. And by then, he'll probably have come up with a much better system. - Archmagi Micael
