Thralni

That's indeed strange. I guess I'll have to do it that way then, thanks anyway.

Apparently I know more of the game than i myself knew. Can anybody tell me what's actually in this hut?

I want to have a scenario which offers everything that a normal, even bad scenario has. What I mean now, is the services, like healers. How the hell do I make a healer? I looked in the documantation, and didn't find anything that could help me with this. Does anybody know what to do?

I haven't played all of Exile, but I think either of these two might help:

 

1) You can't get there;

 

2) you'll need the orb of Thralni, whom I think you eventually will get, but I'm not sure.

Isn't it easier to just make a certain place blocked in the editor?

First aid isn't useless at all! I for the first time used it now, while playing Bahs, and could easily fully heal my warriors who had 150 health pints to heal. Try to do that with a healing potion, without having the use all the potions first!

To vague, eh?

 

Well, I try to repeat it in a different way:

 

I just read the thread, and in the beginning of it most people were complaining about the spells and abilities in Canopy being useless, some don't know how to use them, some think they are overdone. So what do you guys think will be good abilities or spells to have in a scenario?

I was just thinking: if so many people complain about traits, spells or abilities in Canopy that are overdone or something, what do you guys think will be good or that the community will generally like?

It sounds really useful, but maybe you could also try to make it for Mac OS 9 or PC?

Hmmm... There are so many that I have to think a while...

 

I liked Motrax, becasue he liked cats (and I'm a cat and chicken fanatic). I also like Solberg because I like old wizards (but not X. I just found him an irritating pain in the ass)

 

That's actually about it. There was no body else special that I really liked.

I don't have this problem at all. My fighter ussually wears a steel helmet, steel plate mail, pants of speed (which I got in backwater calls, ussually he wears normal pants), gauntlets and a greatsword. Maybe you should try taking his shield?

Now I finally manage to understand how you made it work with all these towns. I as a newbie (I hate that word) Regurly look back at other designer's towns. I saw multiple towns that atcually formed one story. After doing that, I played a bit of the scenario, and saw some things that actually were situated in different towns. Now i know how it works, thanks. Just one minor question: How big should that rectangle exactly be? Probably as larg as the party is?

I think you probably really need to step on it. As was just stated, teleportation from a dialogue node wouldn't work, so teleporting them on a special rectangle would probably also not work, I guess.

Okay, sorry, sometimes I just read to fast and miss some things. Thanks for clarifying though. It saved me.

I actually can't remember why the mayor fled, maybe she didn't and I just was to hasty with reading the text. i only know the mayor wasn't there and the city hall with all stuffy and not used for quite some time. The rest of the city was still inhabited.

It really can't be done? teleportation after a cutscene? That's really too bad. I'm sure I did see somewhere, although i can't remember where exactly, that I saw it happen.

I also remember completing the roach quest, only to find that the mayor of Shayder fled to Sharimik, which I couldn't enter because I have the demo.

Those maps are all nice and good, but what I mean is something like a world map? Like on the first or last pages of an atlas.

So all that the option block space in the editor does, is to make it impossible for monsters to pas that blocked space? if so, then I understand what's going on here.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks a lot!

 

But can I let it check just one file? That option you talked about checks all files, right?

It was a long time since I had a question, but I came up with one, so now wrorries!

 

Ugh I'll never say that again.

 

When you make a space blocked, what does that mean for the party? I saw several times that you could just walk over blocked spaces. How can that be? Is it only a limitation for the AI monsters?

Is there somebody who made complete map of this Ermarian planet? I suppose not, as all the time pieces are being made woth the BoA editor, making it a hell of a job.

I get the main menu of alint, but then I can't get it to check something. When I enter a commandline to check some file, it says the file doesn't exist.

What I was thinking of, is some sort of a step by step guide of what to do, like you did earlier, but then really exactly what to do. Also what to press (like you said press enter after cmd, but what exactly do i do after that?).

That's strange, I remember a swamp...

 

So you are in a place, entered it via a cave entrance graphic, its west od Fort Dranlon and North of the Slith fortress (that's probably what I meant with the fort on the island)? I think the magic tomb is somewhere north, but I'm afraid my memory will be to foggy and you'll just end up killing yourself. I suppose I can't help you then any further, sorry.

Now I did get as far as where it does run the program, but then I can't get it to check something. I'm very bad at command lines. All I really understand is Avernum or basic script. Could you tell me exactly what to do, please?
