Thanks!

I'll add the call when I have the time.

Also, I don't want Gods to be able to open it. And with the 3D editor, it lets me put doors over 200, unlike the standard one. This makes sure that you won't be able to open it - ever!

And for testing purposes, if people really need to access certain doors, I'll just make a custom item which opens all doors in a town.

It aught to work.

Plus, one more question. In combat mode, my testing party (testing it as it gets made) can skip past certain of my states. I've heard that there is a code to prevent this, but I don't know it - or how well it works...

Thanks again!

Oh well, the 3D editor helps a fair bit anyway.

Plus, I've come up with more than 1024 variations in total. Are some of them repeats?

DELETED WHAT WAS HERE, SINCE IT'S NO LONGER NEEDED.

- Archmagus Micael

The questions that were here were these:

1) Is there a higher door lock than 17013 that would be sensible.

2) When using the call move_to_new_town(t,x,y), my party's outdoor loc doesn't change.

Micah. He's just sooooooooooo inept as a king!

There’s an option when you create your character in the beginning which allows you to change colours. I don’t know if any of the custom Editors work – but you can ask.

Just save this game as "REBEL", and save a copy as "SHAPER".

For the Shaper one just use the cheat and pick up Alwan again. Greta will probably have a strop, but hey...

And that way you can play the game from different sides, starting from where you are now.

- Archmagus Micael

It's jsut an idea...

Well,

It's the best offer so far. With the hint book, and a fair bit of cheating, I might make it to the cutscene in a day or two.

I'll take it please...

If you could zip it and then email the file to micael456@aol.com, I would be able to use it.

Thanks!

P.S. Are you allowed in Tinraya yet? (have been to Blackgrag and spoken to the empress).

There's a folder on your system with all of 1. these pictures, and the abilities are all in the docs. It should be easy enough to find. Looking at the items in one of the corescendata files might help.

– Archmagus Micael

Umm. Anyone?

Please...

Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of you could email me a Windows save file (not sure if they're compatible or not) just before the finishing cutscene. I hope that at least one of you has got a save file like this. I know I kept one for Exile 3, Avernum, and Avernum 3, but my Avernum 3 save file was lost, unfortuntely, and I REALLY need to take a look at that cutscene.

Thanks for all of your help!

UBB = Double Post

Yeah. Same here. When the outdoors is done, send it my way. My email address is

micael456 (AT) aol (DOT) com

Whether I will see fit to use it or not is another matter, but I was thinking about doing something similar. However, I just don't have the time.

Thanks!

EDIT: Does this include the Vahnatai Lands? Or just Avernum?

- Archmagus Micael

And it works again. I didn't see your latest post! THANKS AGAIN!

EDIT:

- Archmagus Micael

It WORKS! (just the wrong way round, but I can fix that!)

THANKS DRAKEFYRE!

EDIT: And now it's stopped working. This is annoying! How in the world does it keep messing up like this?

- Archmagus Micael

Now it's stuck on DAYCAVE!

I'm doomed

Someone please help (again)...

Here's my code: (What could possible be wrong with it now?)

Okay. I'll try that!

MikeS, I tried using your script, but I got trounced, so I had given up on it. That was until I had to make a trap for my town, which blasts you at 7 * LEVEL, so I spent about 4 hours getting all of that working really nicely.

The end result was, I managed to make a much simpler script to make the monsters at party_level, or higher.

I thought that you might want to know this, as this one's much easier to edit the levels, so here it is (add this to basicnpc to work):

- Archmagus Micael

I know this must seem stupid, but I've edited Drakefyre's script, and I think it should work. But it's not. I know I'm missing something, but as I said earlier, I'm hopeless at this type of scripting.

Here's the script:

 beginstate INIT_STATE;// CAVE ENTRY SCRIPT:if (((get_current_tick() < 625) || (get_current_tick() > 4375 && get_current_tick < 5625) || (get_current_tick() > 9375 && get_current_tick < 10625) || (get_current_tick() > 14375 && get_current_tick < 15625) || (get_current_tick() > 19375 && get_current_tick < 20625) || (get_current_tick() > 24375 && get_current_tick < 25625) || (get_current_tick() > 29375)) && (get_flag(210,1) < 1))	{		//place_out_spec_enc(0,25,30);//place_out_spec_enc(1,20,25);//place_out_spec_enc(2,18,33);set_flag(3,0,1);set_flag(210,1,1);	}break;beginstate START_STATE;//CAVE ENTRY SCRIPT:if (((get_current_tick() < 625) || (get_current_tick() > 4375 && get_current_tick < 5625) || (get_current_tick() > 9375 && get_current_tick < 10625) || (get_current_tick() > 14375 && get_current_tick < 15625) || (get_current_tick() > 19375 && get_current_tick < 20625) || (get_current_tick() > 24375 && get_current_tick < 25625) || (get_current_tick() > 29375)) && (get_flag(210,1) < 1))	{		set_flag(210,0,0);		set_flag(3,0,1);//place_out_spec_enc(0,25,30);		//place_out_spec_enc(1,20,25);		//place_out_spec_enc(2,18,33);		set_flag(210,1,1);	}//end nightif ((get_current_tick() > 624 && get_current_tick() < 635) || (get_current_tick() > 5624 && get_current_tick() < 5635) || (get_current_tick() > 10624 && get_current_tick() < 10635) || (get_current_tick() > 15624 && get_current_tick() < 15635) || (get_current_tick() > 20624 && get_current_tick() < 20635) || (get_current_tick() > 25624 && get_current_tick() < 25635))		eliminate_outdoor_enc(210,0);	set_flag(3,0,0);break;beginstate 10; //CAVE ENTRY SCRIPT:if (get_flag(210,2) < 2)inc_flag(210,2,1);	else	{set_flag(210,1,0);set_flag(210,2,0);	}break; 

I've set the Variable Town entry to 3,0, so when 3,0 = 0 it should enter town 3, and when SDF 3,0 = 1 it should enter town 4.

This is right - right?

Please help...

Also,

What's the best way to split up the party, and them reunite them later (as in A3 when you were put in hte Vahnatai dungeons, and a portal appeared that only 1 of you could go through)

- Archmagus Micael

Guys,

I've decided to revive ETS, but I'll need some help with it.

1)

Is there a moster script which checks what the party's level is, and sets that as X, and then sets it's own level as X+1, for example?

That way my monsters can be modified to make them slightly higher, or lower than the party, giving them a fair fight the whole way through.

2)

I know it is possible, but I don't quite know how to set it so that at night time I enter cave A, and at daytime I enter cave B. I know it's to do with timers, but my only experiments into timers ended in unmitigated disaster.

3)

Kel, is it okay if I use that cutscene speed ability of your from Bahs? I should be able to take it from there, if that's okay with you.

4)

Cutscene spellfighting. I've noticed that putting effects on characters don't seem to work right. I just get a white square appearing on them. It hppens on both my computer and Mum's XP. IS that a bug or something?

Thanks! I think that's all the help I need for now (but I can be a bit stupid sometimes )
