Some of the new quirks seem to work, others not so well. I'll hold out on the final judgement, but before I continue playing I have to ask if a few annoying things I found could be overcome.
    1. Is there anyway to change the way you move with the mouse?? I set it so the screen will follow me, but I still dislike the move to a spot system, and the keypad is kind of disorienting.
    2. Are there any secret passages?? I will stop looking for them if not, if so then how do you even find them. You cant attempt to walk into walls anymore.
    3. How can you look at a spot. Right click does nothing, and pressing 'L' does nothing too. I want to know what these strange new terrain are supposed to be, but can't search them.
    4. Is there anyway to change between the automap and your inventory? This is usually just a minor inconvenience, but when you are shopping for new equipment it can be a big pain.
    5. This isnt so much a question as a rant. Where are all the different PC graphics? My adventurers hold their swords like flagposts, and I only have two choices for Ssssschah. My god why must area of effect spells cost the lives of alchemy and any diversity in graphics.
    -Before you ask, yes I have looked at the help files. I skimmed them thoroughly and found nothing of use to me.
    1. You either have to use the mouse or keyboard.

    2. There are no more secret passages that YOU have to find. Some can be revealed by special messages.

    3. If you can't click on the item using the left mouse button, you can't look at it.

    You cannot use exitzone to enter the caves because it is a dungeon, meaning it can only be accessed through the monastary level. It does NOT appear on the map.

Although you can sometimes kill him before he uses the magic.
    I thought I had played the game fully as a loyalist... I even explored every map fully and never heard of this summoning orb. Where do you get it?

    editor scripts*don't* work

    in Geneforge Series

    Posted

    On my Geneforge game, I modified the state for the first option ("Leave It") to 110. After that editor works for me. If I want to leave the editor, I enter the editor then choose the exit option.

     

    Look:

     

    Code:
    begintalknode 7;	state = 110; //modified by universe_jdj	personality = 0;	nextstate = -1;	condition = 1;	question = "Leave it.";	text1 = "You regretfully walk away, knowing how much power it could give you.";	action = END_TALK;	begintalknode 8;	state = 5;	personality = 0;	nextstate = 6;	condition = 1;	question = "Use the editor.";	text1 = "A panel folds down on the obelisk and list of options glows behind it.";	text2 = "You can change your skills, spells, creations known, and money here, and also add experience.";
    After that it worked. Before that I got a dialogue script error message.

    editor scripts*don't* work

    The main reason that the south end editor does not work is that there are two nodes that have State=5. The game creates the error because it doesnt know which talk node to use. Both nodes with state=5 are right next to each other. Simply change one to another(high) number and the editor should work. I *think* this problem is in the first script concerning the editor, the one that says "Use the editor", though this may be wrong.

    * Spiderweb Software Tenth Anniversary Sale

     

    Ten years ago, we at Spiderweb Software began our great work. We had

    nothing but a new computer, a cockroach-infested apartment, lots of

    coffee, and a dream: to bring the great fantasy rpgs of the eighties

    back to life. With pretty much the same quality graphics.

     

    Eleven games and tens of thousands of satisfied customers later, we're

    still in business. The coffee is better, there are no more cockroaches,

    and we're still putting out fun, cheap games for fantasy gamers.

     

    So come join us in our celebration! For the month of November, all of

    our products are ten percent off! Explore the alien, completely

    open-ended epic story of Geneforge, or sample the many free adventures

    made by the Blades of Avernum community. On the cheap!

     

    And countless thanks to all of the people who have supported us over

    the years, with your kind words and your hard-earned money. Thanks to
