I've still time to reply, I'm leaving in two hours, so enough time for a quick word. First BBEdit. Its indeed a better and clearer program. For everyone who does scripting on the Mac, I recommend it. Second the creature cutscnene stuff. I supose you know what you're talking about. So what I understand from the teleportation call, you first see black, and then you are teleported? (If so, I'lle maybe will use drakey's method. That is, if there are no better ones posted). Thanks though, for everyone who has posted until now. I do hope there will be more suggestions for the teleportation, so I can see how people do it. What do you think of this? I made it myself, but I don't know if its good or not. beginstate 11; reset_dialog(); add_dialog_str(0, "The portal in front of you makes a sort of low humming noise and radiates energy to all sides.", 0); add_dialog_str(1, "Enter it?", 0); reset_dialog_preset_options(3); run_dialog(0); if (choice == 2) { if (char_ok(1)); put_effect_on_char(1,6,1,0); if (char_ok(2)); put_effect_on_char(2,6,1,0); if (char_ok(3)); put_effect_on_char(3,6,1,0); if (char_ok(4)); put_effect_on_char(4,6,1,0); run_animation(); run_animation_sound(10); move_to_new_town(2,6,24); end(); } break; So, is this a good way of doing it (will it work!?)

Always glad to help somebody out. A few posts ago, I asked about the cutscene, if anybody could take a look at it, to see if its indeed good what I did. I think I can check this actually myself though, but a look of the expert is always advisable (I think). The teleportation problem, I'm using at the moment Kelandon's manner, but if better will be posted, I maibe will try those also. (Sorry Drakey, but you's was a bit more complicated, and I want it as simple as poosible, as I don't always understand the code's, but do want them to understand, so I prefer simpler ones. Sorry). So if somebody has an other solution, please post (I think I asked this for the third time now... I wouldn't ask it any more, but keep posting.) Adios!

since I haven't left yet, this is my advice. Since you said you use simpletext, you use Mac. Am I right? Of course. there is no simpletext for Windows. I stopt using simpletext because I found tabs not very clear. I'm now using BBEdit. There is a free version: version 6.1.2. I highly recommend this program over simpletext. Click on the link below, And on the left side somewhere of the screen that will hopefully pop up, You'll see an option to download. try, it. its free! (and don't forget to fill this topic up while I'm not here! See you guys!) Macupdate: BBEdit lite 6.1.2 EDIT: I see Drakey got in before me. Well, doesn't matter.

Hello again, I don't know why i say this, because I said it already, but tomorrow at about 11 a.m. (Europe time, probably about 5 a.m. in NY) I'm leaving home with my family. direction Schiphol, one of the biggest airports in Europe, located in Holland. i'm going on vaction to the US. I'll be back in three weeks, and I'm hoping to see lots of replies on my question en the previous post (although I doubt that now I said this). Well, see you back in three weeks! Although i like america!

shapers rule! not only do i find shapers most fun to play with (everyone respects you) but they also have nice clothes. if they are really most powerful I don't quite know. I think the agent is probably most powerful.

So you did find them? By the way, I must say that these empire warrios are MUCH easier to defeat in exile than in Avernum. I got away with killing them without actually getting really, really, really hurt. of course I had to heal now and then, but once you take out the mage and certainly the empire archer, the rest can be butchered easily.

Thanks very much, i'll think about which works out best for me. While getting these replies, i was busy creating a cutscene. It worked fine, thanks to kelandon's turorial (thanks Keladon! ). What i didn't get though, was the { and } sings. i saw in the VoDT in t1sweetgrove.txt, that they should be put, but were do i put them? I know { goes at the beginning and } at the end, but at an empty space, or after a call, ar maybe in front of a call, i don't know. (Everyone who has an idea for the previous question may still post if he wants!) EDIT: now I look at Drakefyre's way of doing the teleportation, I have the feeling my own way wasn't as bad as I thought it was... Well, I'll stille use one of the two already posted. EDIT 2: There was an other thing I wanted to ask, but i forgot. That making new creature calls stuff, in a cutscene. i want to get this straight. i started with this call: i = 29;//29 is the highest char number in the town while (char_ok(i)) {i = i + 1 } After this the creature is created: put_straight_zap(56,42,9,38,4); put_boom_on_space(9,38,2,0); place_monster(9,38,138,0); set_character_facing(i,4); set_character_pose(i,0); run_animation_sound(54); force_instant_terrain_redraw(); Is made here right, or do i have to change it in some places. I made while using kelamdon's cutscene tutorial.

the exact place of the second secret door, is all the way south, near that hut like building, were the sliths live. go west, to the dead end. there to the west there is a secret door.
-
First of all, thanks for responding so quickly. second, thanks for showing me the code. so there is now need in letting the game check if there are four characters. thanks. The teleport part call should be in a place where the party normally can't get right? like solid stone or something, behind a wall? if yes, does it matter if its out of town boundries? (because what space alse there is to be chosen from in a cave?)

maybe these are lame questions, but i wonder about them anyway. 1) did somebody make himself, or does somebody know ere i can find a good working script for teleporting aparty to an other town? And i mean not only teleporting them, but also that there is a flash and sound. i made one myself, but i'd like to see somebody else's. If somebody posts the one he made himself, may I use it? 2) This is a really stupid question, but are the tabs you make in the script really necesarry? i have the feeling I'm doing it all wrong. one tab to much there, one to less there. So is it really necesarry for the computer to understand it? That was all. I'm going on the 8th of july to the US for three weeks, so I really appreciate it if you you can post quickly. Thanks in advance.

So that's Greta, I didn't notice that there was an option to do that, well, I will try that then... Speaking of Greta and alwan, is it a good idea to have them join you throughout the hole game, ot is it better to dump them on a certain time?

Quote: Originally written by The Almighty Doer of Stuff: Uh, no they aren't. They are mostly the same, but there are differences between the BoE and BoA versions. What are the differences? the story and like are the same I assume, so is the terrain different? but concerning this specific topic. This is the same in BoA, or not?

i have a small problem with greta. When i asked her if she wanted to join me, she refused and said it was to dangerous.

Avernum 1 "Erika Redmark"
Thralni replied to Archmagus Micael's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
Here is a goos solution for you. after some googling i found this website: try this website please tell me if it was of any help? -
Quote: Originally written by Icshi: Using it on Alwan also sounds like a good strategy, as I notice he gets hit an awful lot.[/QB] i made him rather strong, so he is good fighter, but he gets scared quickly. That's a thing a really hate about him.

OK, if you have any more problems on this topic, please read the following thread and post there your posts: web page Its from Blades of avernum, but BoA and BoE are the same game.

Avernum 1 "Erika Redmark"

Look at the EDIT section of my previous post. I', sorry I can't offer anything else. You also could try google... -
Avernum 1 "Erika Redmark"
Thralni replied to Archmagus Micael's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
Ok, I think the best thing for you, is just to download Avernum 1, and look in its folder, to find a complete map of Avernum. Its almost the same as Exile, so the map also will be almost the same. I'm afraid the other thing I wanted to suggest, Isn't there anymire. It was a great website, but I suspect that its down. EDIT: I just looked at the maps and realized, that her tower isn't put on it! I'm sorry, but as I said, the site I wanted to suggest id down. maybe someone else can help you. although i thought her tower indeed was quite far to the west. maybe you should try to travel as far south as you can, start at, say the very southeastern corner and walk west. then you should find her. -
Help Finding Empire Brooches in Aver 1
Thralni replied to sco50000's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
It was a pleasure. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. (finnaly I managed to help someone!) -
Quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Another thing you can do with Shapers — haven't tried this in GF3, but it worked well in GF1 and GF2 — is keep the same couple of creations all the way through and just keep boosting their stats. A pair of level 35 fyoras with nearly maxed stats is surprisingly powerful. I'm new to the GF world, so maybe my tactic is wrong, but I use the shaper. I make creations and boost their stats (while trying to keep my essence high enough) until I can make an better creation. i absorb the old one, and invest my absorbed assence in a better monster. what is better to invest skillpoints in: intelligence (for essence) or strenght (for higher encumbrance level)?

I don't see option 1 as a good solution. If I do that, I wouldn't get any further in the game, would I. How would it help me? Don't I have to just get stronger? Geneforge 3 works alright, so i do start to learn the game. I just avoid things I still con't cope with. In geneforge 1, the serviles in that forest that keep killing me, should they that, even when I pay the toll? that looks quite strange to me... * this signature is a signature - it doesn't contain anything useful, but that its written here, is because of sarcasme *
-
Ghikra was the name I wanted! I couldn't remember it. hope this caused not to many annoyance? In any way, you understood what i meant (didn't you?).
-
Once I just read to quickly ant thought it was geneforce, and not geneforge. This probably happened to may people. I'm finally starting to understand that geneforge is some kind of monster or folk? By th way, I earlier sai I will probably try Geneforge 1. I tried it, but after the third level, were all these serviles walk around, I always get killed. Now I managed to get into that school or something to the north. But I don't manage to go past the wood. Even if I pay the toll, i get killed. going to th east from Vakiri I'm constanly slain by those big things which I don't know the name of.

Avernum 1: "Scimitar"
Thralni replied to Archmagus Micael's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
Quote: Originally written by Ulterior Epilogue: It's Alorael. The solution isn't for us to ignore the fact that you ignore my posts. The solution is for you to read my signature. And I'm 100% sure thaat what I said in my post, excluding the signature, already said what you said. I'm sorry if I irritated anyone. I was just in that vengeful mood I have some times. I'm trying to read you signatures, but sometimes I just forget and miss the information written in it. I'm not sure your post, exluding the information of the signature said what I said. But, well. What do I actually care?
