QnD trainer, like basically all "trainers", inserts info directly into memory and many AV or IS programs give a false positive as many viruses exhibit similar behavior. If Q&D has not been altered in the last few years a lot of people have used Q&D with much fun and success. No bad behavior.

It's an odd way to set up what could just as easily be a named variable. Does he still use SDF's in Avadon?

Reset 0 to 10 ok. begindefineitem 168; had to reduce to 400 to prevent lockup. Lockups only occurred during combat at my characters turn. At first I wondered why you didn't buff some higher items, then realized that the ones you used were readily available fairly early in game without further scripting signs and such to get them. Good ideas here... I like it! Note: Running Win XP SP3 AMD Phenom II x4 with other game mods removed, after getting these to work ok I put other toys back, no conflict. Possible future conflicts as character levels up? Mainly concerned about raising Quick Action from 10 to higher than 37 when leveling. With some other mods back in it's at 37 but can't be raised as lvl 11. May not matter, my character is only level 11, what level was your character when you boosted 600's?

it_value = 10000;//10000 coins Does indeed give 10000 coins. (I lowered it from earlier amounts because of potential probs mentioned below.) The giveasnack cheat is in most, if not all, Avernum and Geneforge games. The mod varies in effect from one game to another. In one of them if you went over a max of 40000 coins it would zero out your coins. Some it would simply cap at 30 or 40000 and I think I've heard of it leaving just a few coins under certain circumstances. A clean install cures most ills. And hang on to your savegames. Unless they are corrupted. Was "two coins" in addition to your original amount? Or was 2 all you had left after trying cheat? Was your original amount fairly high to start with? What version of game are you running? What computer and OS? Again, I don't have the games installed. I'll take a peak at other threads where I posted this cheat and see if I've missed something. You could try in the meantime to make: it_value = 1000;//1000 coins and see if you see a change in results. Always save before modding. Surprisingly for as long as this has been posted (nearly 2 years) no one else mentioned a problem. Sooo... I re-installed GF5 and tested it. There is no problem I could reproduce. Try some of the above suggestions and see if you get different results. Try re-installing. Another possible fix is copying and pasting modded items 253-54 directly from post to gf5itemschars.txt. Also, If you've used other mods that may conflict somehow. A small, incomplete change can easily effect 100's of lines of following content. With a fresh install I went from game start training area with 100 coins to 10100 coins. Ran it again 20100. Ran it again 30000. Ran it again 0. Ran it again 10000. I can't fix it if it ain't broke! (grin) There may be over hundreds of thousands of variations of machine composition and OS's so it may just not work for you. That would be sad because in other threads I have variations on this theme that allow you to "conjure" nearly any desired item.

I will eventually get back to them but am currently totally immersed in another game. I consistently get more active with SpidWeb forums when the latest Windows release is available. Meanwhile, there's no reason why you or some of the others here can't make some SDF's. Originally Posted By: Thirsting Gemstone Question: are the "Spore Batons" used at all in G5?

Due to the above I'm not qualified to answer it. However, I recall thinking I could free up some lines regarding "melted sand" or somesuch. As it turns out, it WAS used! So I suspect the lines you are referring to are not artifacts. Anyone?

Oh, those "flamey things". They indicate a hot topic. There is a lot to read when you first arrive. Was not having a good week and I took something personal that wasn't mean't that way. The fact is - it was in a thread I started and when I backtracked I came to an old "correction" from *i, added 2 + 2 and got 5. Since I've gotten some sleep and fever is down I'm seeing more clearly. When you feel crappy sometimes you say/do things you regret. @ ItwasTed: Welcome, and check you're sanity at the door... (sheepish grin)

I've looked for the thread about Doug Adam's "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and remembered some new author was supposed to write more since Adam's passing. Couldn't find the thread I wanted, but here goes anyhow... I just finished reading "The Hitchhikers Trilogy" which is all 5 (yes, a 5 volume trilogy) volumes in 1 hardcover book. I've read and re-read all 5 but this is my 1st re-read of all 5 from start to finish in about a week. Adam's definately finished the whole HHG2TG series. Over. Done. Wonderful! Loved them all! But he FINISHED it! Maybe there was some slight undocumented editing (in the compilation), but there are no loose ends to hang another series on. It would be an insult. The "Adam's Universe" is still out there but if someone did try to soil it by new books I think I'd be offended. Did any new ones get written or did Adam's fans squash them? DON'T PANIC! MK2 PANIC! New author?: GAG Oops. This from wikipedia: And Another Thing... Main article: And Another Thing... (novel) It was announced on 17 September 2008 that Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer had been commissioned to write the sixth installment entitled And Another Thing... with Jane Belson, Adams' widow.[17][18] The story begins as death rays bear down on Earth, and the characters awaken from a virtual reality. Zaphod picks them up shortly before they're killed, but completely fails to escape the death beams. They are then saved by Bowerick Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged, who they agree to help kill. Zaphod travels to Asgard to get Thor's help. In the meantime, the Vogons are heading to destroy a colony of people who also escaped Earth's destruction, on the planet Nano. Arthur, Wowbagger, Trillian and Random head to Nano to try to stop the Vogons, and on the journey, Wowbagger and Trillian fall in love, making Wowbagger question whether or not he wants to be killed. Zaphod arrives with Thor, who then signs up to be the planet's God. He almost kills Wowbagger, but thanks to Random, he only loses his immortality, and gets married to Trillian. Thor then stops the first Vogon attack, and apparently dies. Meanwhile, Constant Mown, son of Prostetnic Jeltz, convinces his father that the people on the planet are not citizens of Earth, but are, in fact, citizens of Nano, which means that it would be illegal to kill them. As the book draws to a close, Arthur is on his way to check out a possible university for Random, when, during a hyperspace jump, he is flung across alternate universes, has a brief encounter with Fenchurch, and ends up exactly where he'd want to be. And then the Vogons turn up again. The book was published by Penguin Books in the UK and Hyperion in the US on October 12, 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy They actually did it. Has anyone read this? Opinion?

Actually Slarty's froze upside down within 24 hours of the general ban. I, after 2 years of having a tacky avatar was courteously requested in a PM to change it. I readily agreed and complied. (In my defense I must say I and others thought it funny. Playing game at torment level and cartoonishly bashing my head to pulp on keyboard.) On my machine it played through so fast that until I saw it on a "brand x" dialup machine where it was essentially r e a l l y s l l o o w w I agreed with it being tacky. Comparing SpidWeb forum leadership to Nazism is absurd. I, was a 'bad guy' avatar wise. I had a 'static' one for years and was encouraged by other members to spice it up with an animated one. At least make it glow or something. I started with a wind breaking smiley, then a cartoon of head smacking keyboard frustration. Until it was pointed out I thought nothing of it. Acts far exceeding cartoon violence are involved in all SpidWeb games. BUT, no gore splashes/decals. Yes, occult activities, but the triumph of good over evil. (At least the way I play it.) Sooo. I'm content without the splashymessness, somewhat competitive attitude of animated avatars. I think the 'throttling back' was done rather well and agree with it. I even agree that some avatars (other than mine) were actually irritating.

Sorry, no. No way I can find anyhow. Not with full party. New game worked for me... It doesn't take that long to catch up and on 1st play through it's well worth it. I'm not saying it's not possible. The scripts show XP ups, maybe negatives work. Doubt it though. Probably parsed wrong.

I like it! With some minor scripting you can also get specific items* such as: begindefineitem 485; import = 120; it_name = "Scroll - Return Life"; or any other item that way. Very good one. *Note: See my A5 thread for details. Giant Intelligent Friendly Talking Cockroach, welcome to Spiderweb, check your sanity at the door...

BACKUP then open av6itemschars.txt copy and paste the following: begindefineitem 210; it_name = "Tools"; it_graphic_sheet = 2; it_which_icon_ground = 10; it_which_icon_inven = 11; it_extra_description = 26; it_value = 20; it_charges = 1;// stax line added begindefineitem 211; it_name = "Basket"; it_graphic_sheet = 8; it_which_icon_ground = 0; it_which_icon_inven = 1; it_extra_description = -1; it_value = 1 it_charges = 0;// no stax line added begindefineitem 212; it_name = "Research Notes"; it_graphic_template = 52; it_graphic_sheet = 0; it_which_icon_ground = 8; it_which_icon_inven = 9; it_charges = 1;// restore stax it_value = 50; it_extra_description = 6; begindefineitem 213; it_name = "Incense"; it_graphic_sheet = 2; it_which_icon_ground = 10; it_which_icon_inven = 11; // it_charges = 0; stax it_value = 30; it_extra_description = -1; begindefineitem 214; import = 5;// added mod crystal it_name = "Flawless Crystal"; // it_graphic_sheet = 3; // it_which_icon_ground = 4; // it_which_icon_inven = 5; // it_charges = 1; it_value = 200; // it_extra_description = 5; it_graphic_coloradj = 8;// 8 clear added mod crystal begindefineitem 215; import = 213;// added to restore it_name = "Lab Equipment"; it_graphic_sheet = 1; it_which_icon_ground = 6; it_which_icon_inven = 7; it_charges = 1; it_value = 70; it_extra_description = 27; it_weight = 30; it_charges = 1;// stax line added it_graphic_coloradj = 3;// makes greens blues vs reds greens of alchemical begindefineitem 216; it_which_icon_ground = 4; it_which_icon_inven = 5; begindefineitem 217; it_name = "Lamp"; it_graphic_sheet = 0; it_which_icon_ground = 2; it_which_icon_inven = 3; it_value = 3; it_ability = 238; it_level = 20; it_extra_description = -1; it_graphic_coloradj = 0;// restore color As noted in the remarks this does a color change between alchemical and lab items. They use the same icons and colors so this seems to compliment differences and doesn't make you wonder what's the difference. Also makes stackable to save slots in inventory. Makes Flawless Crystal look like a crystal, but clear. ''Flawless...''

You can always use leetbuffz. Several great buffs for entire party.
