Do you mean this site ? I'd say upload your scenarios there when they are done or when the site accepts new registrations (whichever comes last).

Well, Stareye was working on it at one point, and then disappeared. If I had time and could get it to compile and run, I might try to do some of it. (It currently compiles, but when I run it nothing happens.) In particular I was hoping to Carbonize the character editor. That will only help if you use a Mac - I will absolutely not do anything for the Windows version. Khoth carbonized the Mac version, and Ormus ported from Win16 to Win32, but they've disappeared too.

Perhaps I'll look at it over the holidays...

It means it will run natively on Mac OSX Intel; however, if you are able to run the demo character editor, you're clearly not using Mac OSX Intel (since that is the only platform it won't run on).

So I guess it's irrelevant. You could start a similar one for Win32 though, if you use Windows.

Edit: It seems the purpose of that thread may have been inadvertently expanded to include Windows...

I guess this is a bug, so I've added it to the bugs and suggestions list .

Added bug from this topic .

So... when will we be able to register?

That definitely applies to Mac Classic, but I think you should be able to run Max OSX in an emulator?

You put the .exs and .bmp files in the scenarios folder, right? Not in a subfolder of the scenarios folder?

And you restarted BoE after putting them there?

I can't think what else could be the problem.

*sigh* See here .

I am pretty sure that there is no way to run MacOS on your Windows computer without buying a copy of it. Sorry.

Oh, I see. The avatar thing is confusing. A note about that might be useful.

As for my name, removing the space does not work. I get a "User Name field is required" error.

Sorry, I'm afraid it doesn't exist... yet. If you have Windows or a PowerMac you can download the demo from Spiderweb\'s site and use the character editor from that, but this won't work if you use an Intel Mac.

Okay. If it's only for when you kill a specific character, go into the Blades of Avernum Files folder, and copy basicnpc.txt into your scenario's folder. Rename it Iffy.txt (or whatever you like). Open it up, and replace the DEAD_STATE with this:

beginstate DEAD_STATE;    message_dialog("Your","Message");    kill_char(1000,3,0);break;

That should work.

(Note: I omitted the set SDF code because it won't do anything if you die right after.)

You could probably also alter it to be triggered when you attack the character, but I'm not sure how you would do that. It would still require the Iffy.txt though.

Try something like this in the START_STATE:

if(get_crime_level()>0){  kill_char(1000,3,0);}

if(get_crime_level()>0){  i=0  while(i<4){    kill_char(i,3,0);    i = i + 1  }}

Note: this should kill the party any time someone commits a crime. If you want it to run when a specific creature dies, you will have to give that creature a custom script - which could simply be a copy of basicnpc - and put the code in the DEAD_STATE, minus the if part.

I doubt it. You need to go here (Mac) or here (Windows) to get a "registered" version.

To Moderators or whoever has this power: Perhaps we should add these links to the section above the topic list.

Which is perfectly acceptable!

The "Already Implemented" list is the yet-to-be-released version of OBoE. It is available in the darcs repository here , but it's probably not a good idea to design scenarios for it yet as the scenario format is apparently in a state of "being rewritten" (even though development seems to have stopped).

No, I got all three of these quests in the unregistered version of the game, so they aren't based on completion of the plagues quests.

Really? What about Linux, BSD, BeOS, RiscOS, and all the hundreds of other less common systems ?

Blades of Exile: Mac version | Windows version

Nephil\'s Gambit

I know about set_terrain. But it affects the current state of the town (or outdoor section). Jewlelz was, I believe, referring to a program to generate a .bas file with random towns (as Niemand pointed out). This cannot be done with AvernumScript - it is entirely outside of its sphere of influence.

• A rogue-like game, where the terrain is generated at runtime, is possible with AS.
• A program to generate terrain which can then be used to create a scenario in the editor, is not possible with AS.

That's an interesting but quite different idea. I do like the idea of a Blades of Rogue, I think. An automatic terrain generator cannot be done with AvernumScript, though, because AvernumScript does not modify the scenario file. It would have to be a separate application that uses code from the editor. It's interesting, but may not be worth the effort.
