I did the exact same thing the first time I played A1. Resetting hostile towns in the editor worked fine and brought him back to life though.

Is it really a breach of etiquette to post in the most recent thread, no matter how old it is?

Presumably, it's the same Erika in all 3 games.
Also, while drastically remodeled, it's the same tower in 1 and 2 (in the same place at least )

Bragging Rights for what? Did you make it into the room? What's the point of bragging? Many of us have done it.

Hey, it's entirely possible that there could have been something in there. Who knows how Jeff's mind works? There could be wonders beyond your wildest imagination inside the room in Dharmon that has no entrance in A1, the area behind the Vahnatai temple in A2 that also has no entrance, or in the outdoor map section just south of the Honeycomb in A1.

Alright, this is my first venture into this board since before it came out for the Mac, so bear with me if this has been asked before.

 

Does anyone know how to get past this gate:

 

 

It's in the cavern full of lizards southeast of Formello.

Edit: Unitentional reply

Surprisingly enough, I do still have that email. Here is where all of his A3 trainers are. I'm not sure which one you want though.

Glad you liked it.

 

Too bad I used my 400th post in Tech Support where few people will see it.

Office Assistant actually.

 

That rather annoying feature is one of the many reasons I prefer OpenOffice for most of my computing needs.

It happens quite frequently on these boards, believe me. I just didn't feel like quoting Aran's huge post, that's all.

Huh. I could have sworn that you had said something about written content before. Oh well, I guess they are the same. Well, anyone who likes the domain shadowvale.net better than ermarian.net is welcome to contact me, and I'll set something up for you.

 

Edit: They recently changed the language restrictions on sphosting, by the way. They now allow sites in anyt language. (Not that it matters to me since the only language I'm fluent in is English )

I don't think it's possible. I tried for quite a while and finally gave up and used the editor.

Odd. I've had no problems running A4 on my desktop with 2 displays.

Edit: This is my fabled 400th post. I would like to dedicate it to a member who was banned a mere week ago.

oh yeah the 400 post!

I remember finding that thread back in November. The link didn't work then either. I sent an email to the poster, and he responded rather quickly with another link. I don't have that email anymore, and I doubt I have the trainer either, but you can try the same thing.

Sylak's Talking Skull was more helpful though. I don't know if I ever needed the Xian Skull's advice, but Sylak's skull told me where to find some of the Nether Arts spells.

Edit: It's a pity. When I saw this thread, I was half-expecting the legendary Xian Skull thread of yore to have been resurrected.

Actually, I know for a fact that I used Open Doors Level 3 to get in there

 

I had to summon shades to get the enter-end-combat bug to work.

I've been playing A4 on my notebook with a 1280x800 screen lately, so I turned of the resolution changes preferring a black border to distorted graphics. The problem, however, is that when I start Avernum 4, I get this message:

 

 

If I change to 16-bit, the game starts fine, BUT if I change back to 32-bit while thegame is open it runs just fine. So, I'm curious why Avernum 4 requires 16-bit graphics.

I hope it's popped. There's not much space in an unpopped kernel.

That's not quite true, Aran. I used your site for a while to host the chat database, but decided to create my own domain for several reasons, one of them being the uncensored nature of the chats.

Edit: That said, if anyone would like a site that is a subdomain of shadowvale.net rather than ermarian.net (perhaps I should be advertising this on the Nethergate board), send me a PM, and I'll set it up for you. The only real advantage I can see for my host over Aran's is that my host does not have content restrictions, although that probably doesn't matter for Spiderweb-related materials. I've probably got the only site that needs a host without content restrictions, with the profanity and worse things that happen in the chats.

When you return Caffen-Bok (the Crystal Soul you recovered from the Ziggurat, or at least should have if you're far enough into the game to be looking for third-level spells ) to the Crystal Shrine southwest of Oglai, Wilvron-Bok, one of the Crystal Souls already in the Shrine, will teach you Move Mountains, Level 3.

 

For future reference, this is a topic for the Avernum Trilogy board, not General.

Anyone who wants to link Shadow Vale (The site will have more content and look better soon, I promise) or just the Chat Database , go right ahead. As I see it, it is directly related to BoA because of the logged Blades Chats.

It was when I bought it. As with BoE, however, you are still required to buy the CD. I'll give it a 9.8, since it's Spiderweb's best game ever. It has amazing replay value.

I can't believe I didn't know that. I guess I'm just so used to right-clicking to look, that I never associated it with something else.

Nope. The keys cannot be changed. Setting the speed of the game to a lower speed improves the mouse movement, although with a fast computer, you still occasionally need to yuse the keyboard to move one space when necessary. For the most part, howeve, moving two spaces with a mouse click isn't a huge issue.

Thuryl! How dare you imply that Jeff Vogel is fallible. If he put seven shards in the game, he had a perfectly good reason for it, just like all the other things that make no sense in his games.
