Now you have to wait for a rating, because the Lyceum isn't functioning well anymore.

I don't see why ratings can't be done on these very boards. It might allow for some uncritical people to offer ratings, but it's at one secure location.

The site isn't working, so I can't download as of yet.

I just read a short book of political humor containing mostly pictures titled Bad President. It made my day.

I don't think Drew is a hipster. He was in law school last time I heard.

*sigh*

 

I've been trying to make a scenario for so long it's not even funny. So slow...slow...I don't think I'll ever actually produce one.

-The old Avernum engine, or at least the old graphics.

You'll have to wait a little while, because that's the only place he uploaded it to.

Iffy, I'm unable to download either version, but congratulations nonetheless. Not that I haven't played it already.

Pachtar's Plate:

-70 pounds

-Blocks 1-60 + 7 points of damage

-Value is 20,000 coins

-35% attack penalty (encumbrance)

- +1 action points

-20% resist elements and magic.

I was actually more frightened by squeaking doors and "Rar" in a long dungeon. That is, when I wasn't supposed to be staying up that late.

Moderators only have custom titles in the forums they moderate, so the one you're seeing is what would occur by default.

That's what's nice about small companies, they actually care about their customers.

I think Jeff should have some talking inanimate object that makes a reference to the Avernum series. Just because I was loser enough to carry a talking skull around.

 

Maybe a whole set of Xian like items could do as well.

I'd assume that's because A5 was released today, so Jeff has to respond to a lot of e-mails at once. Usually you'd receive a reply almost instantly, but again, he's probably busy.

 

In the event that the e-mail actually didn't go through (Which you should wait a day or two for just in case), you'd be best e-mailing Jeff personally.

This is funny, I've been waiting for the Windows version all this time because my Mac is too old to play it, and now Jeff releases it early.

This is indeed a very nice chart. Great work

In E3 the courier route was the only option for purchasing spells like Quickfire and Shockwave. I'd also use the money to outfit my whole party in mithril armor, and buy my spell casters Micah's gloves.

 

In A3 I purchased Hawkes Manse with the courier money. However, A3 has a lot of good loot, so you have it made either way.

Questions, sorry if I ask something stupid:

• Are custom creature scripts allowed? If so what penalty does it apply?
• Why is the ability for radiating a cloud of blades not listed?
• Can a creature have points in special abilities such as riposte or quickstrike?

Iffy, you can send the uncompressed mac file to me and I can compress it as a .sit file. It's my fault for not reminding you about that, as I compressed the graphics file with ZipIt.

 

I already have the beta version on my computer, but you probably fixed all those typos.

Edit: nevermind

Try removing Avernum 2's preferences (in the system folder) when you reinstall it. I have an old iMac as well, and I've never encountered this problem before.

You can make it easier by selecting the "no wandering monsters" option, but I never used it. The weakening option gave creatures half as many hit points, and didn't offer much of a challenge at all.

 

Edit: realized this was about E2 instead of E3. Oops. I don't remember if you can eliminate wandering monsters in E2.

Are you talking about the Troglodyte Khazi you must assasinate? There's a pedestal or something in the cavern with several buttons. Changing one of the values makes the walls inside the gate to the Khazi's lair move, and I usually solve it by writing down what button moves what.

Turning on the number lock works for me.
