On Windows, the Exile games stored all of their sprites in the game folder (usually C:\EXILE or possible C:\Program Files\EXILE). Navigate to this folder and there will be, amongst other things, some BMPs. If you are running a 64 bit version of Windows, Exile will not install (no support for 16-bit). In this case, there is a possibility, but it may not work and would be quite a hassle. On 64-bit versions of windows, it is still possible to run 32-bit OSs on virtual machines, but it would require the installation of virtual machine software, a 32-bit OS (if you can't get Windows 32-bit, use Linux and try to run it in WINE (I vaguely remember having trouble trying to install Exile with Wine in vitrual 32-bit ubuntu)). If this doesn't work, then there might be some on the Internet (most would be for BoE, though).

According to a poorly sourced article that anybody can edit; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Avernus, avernus derives from ancient Greek awornos (with w being some obsolete letter called "digamma") (modern aornos), meaning birdless (which I wildly speculate to be a cognate with aviary and aviator), as it was believed that it emitted poisonous fumes which would kill any birds unfortunate enough to fly over it. EDIT: Sorry, Harehunter, I should've read your reference. It basically is a more detailed version of what I just posted. Perhaps I should add it as a reference in that Wikipedia article.

As you can see here, every musician is a one-hit wonder or a zero-hit "wonder". Originally Posted By: Slartucker (In a non-rhotic accent, Slarty sounds wrong) NEU! NIEUW!

I prefer VBBÞreads-Dark, especially on the forum lists. I dunno, it just looks better. I would prefer it if the logo was transparent, but I rarely look at it. However, I am sometimes bothered by the avatars which are just something on a white background. I'm not going to name names. Not even if þuryliliþ and angered lizardman try to drag it out of me with wild horses. EDIT I just remembered that smilies donˇt show up on dark. I may consider going to coffee...

I'm sorry for going off topic, but I would just like to point out to those living outside Australia that that quote applies only the lower house (in which there are usually about 6 candidates per electorate). The Upper house elections use the STV system, rather than IRV and that one can either pick a single group (party or random list of independents) above the line, or rank every single candidate (there are about 50 per state) below the line. There is no way to simply rank each party. The results take weeks to come in and people don't pay much attention to the Senate, as all of the good debates and newsworthy politicians are representatives. I have an idea for the voting system, but I do not have time to give details. I will edit this post later with the details if my proposal. EDIT: In my opinion, the Senate is unnecessary, although should technology allow it without risk of vote-tampering, I do believe it could be replaced with some form of direct democracy, although then, what is the point of having a lower house? Until then, I believe that the house of representatives should be elected by a proportional system in which the entire country is a single electorate and voters may rank their parties in order of how much power they want them to have. It should be a list-based system, in which the people vote for a list of candidates released by the party (the method of selecting said candidates may vary from party to party, but with primaries, one runs the risk of sabotage from supporters of opposing parties). The list will be ordered from most to least important, so if a party gets 123 seats, then the first 123 people on the list will get the seats. The #1 candidate of the party with the largest number of seats becomes PM, the 2nd candidate becomes deputy, the third becomes and the next few (in this case few == number of departments) are just plain ministers (there will be no set order of departments). It would be good if there was a system in which people vote for the percentage of seats each party should get, thus giving people the freedom to vote in more ways such as "I want a hung parliament" or "I want A to be in government but I want C in opposition rather than B". Unfortunately, this system would make it very difficult for independents and parties without enough candidates to fill parliament.

I voted "Long Obsolete". 5 years old, WinXP home, 80GB HDD (7GB free), GeForce 6200 (the best AGP card I could find), a FLOPPY DRIVE, 768MB RAM, 2.8 GHz CPU (only 1 core) 1 faulty keyboard 1 SD monitor It amazes me how rapidly technology becomes obsolete.

I do no know how to fix this, but perhaps DamAgatha is saying that the black borders (which separate the sprites on the sprite sheets) are appearing in-game.

I recently downloaded the demo of the Windows version of Avernum VI: The Blight. When I was ran the installer, I was asked to agree to a license agreement. While skimming through it, I came across a paragraph which confused me. I had seen it before, (while installing Mr Vogel's previous games) but I haven't got around to asking this until now. I was under the impression that none of his games had a time limit which prevented users from playing the demos after a certain period of time. Then I saw a paragraph in the EULA which suggested that there was a time limit - albeit an unenforced one - of 30 days. The paragraph which suggested that follows (from the EULA of Avernum III: Ruined World). Quote: 3. Termination. This License is effective until terminated. You may terminate this License at any time by destroying the Software and related documentation and all copies thereof. This License will terminate thirty (30) days after receipt of the Software, unless the Software is registered with Spiderweb with appropriate compensation and registration information. This License will terminate immediately without notice from Spiderweb if you fail to comply with any provision of this License. Upon termination you must destroy the Software and related documentation and all copies thereof. I thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you very much for your help, Niemand. It was the corescendada one.

Does anyone know how can i find out the statistics of a non-custom NPC?

I think you also have to show the rune to Berra in Fort Emergence. But that's in Avernum 3 and it might be different in Exile 3.

I listen to Gameplay03.ogg and Wesnoth-2.ogg. These are used in the game Battle for Wesnoth . Just search in the folder called Battle for Wesnoth or Wesnoth or Wesnoth 1.2.0 or something for a music folder. NOTE: Windows media player can't play *.ogg files so you must use VLC Media Player or JetAudio.

Uranium bars also exist in A2 and do the same thing as in A3. If you don't have Pyrrhic gauntlets, drop (or decurse with a healer and sell) it. If you have Pyrrhic gauntlets, decurse them if you are wearing them and drop them.
