The Knight Who Said Ni

Huh? I have played it through and done most side quests but never saw a Jeff NPC or an Adventurer code. This is spoiler heavy but tell me where this all is?

Ni

I love the Odyssey but also have never read the Iliad. Not even an abridged copy

Ni

As my scenario won't be ready in time, I will judge if you need one and trust me. I've been playing BOA since it came out and I have played EVERY scenario released too. If you need me PM me.

Ni

The A1 engine I find basic, as it has evolved quite a bit on it's way to BOA. This was the last Nethergatish/Avernumish engine. So Aloreal recommends A1 for exploring Avernum? Is there more in A2/A4 to discover?

Ni?

What is it with the whole A4 bias? I see it as a good game, however I've only played the demo. I like exploring Avernum, so should I register A2, A4, or A5

Ni

Well, the reason A1/A4 get bad raps is because they didn't advance the plot as much as say A2 or A3. They are necessary fun games but are void of significant plot advances. A1 sets the Hawthorne chain of events, thus giving A2 and A3 purposes.

Ni

Yes, I agree with the both Aloreal's comment and Dantius's. I personally thought A2 because it isn't fair to categorize A3-A5 as they do their own thing like adjectives on a noun, A2.

Ni

Well this is a little late, but it's GREAT you released it. I myself decided to MOD/adapt the G4 editor to do the job. I never posted it though

Ni

Yes, but when Rentar and Dorikas are involved, they simply become an adition to one side's "assets" so to speak. They try to set apart Avernum and the Empire. Well Rentar is just... Rentar. She doesn't fit any catagory, as she decides to wage war on everyone(Avernum and the Empire) as you get in her way in A3.

Ni

I saw a poll/topic similar to this over in the Geneforge series section and it got me thinking. Avernum and or Exile has been around for as long as I've been playing Spiderweb Games. Exile 3 was just released when I started. The Avernum series storyline is big, from escaping from the pit, to returning Crystal Souls, to seeking peace with the Empire to being stopped by several pitfalls. Which game is most important to the central ultimate conflict between Avernum and The Empire. You can vote once for one game, I included Avernum 6, if you think you can predict the future.

Ni.

The first part of the scenario is complete. Right now I'm working on the second half so those willing to help specifically hone monsters in the data file so they wind up being fightable at level 40-80 should please speak up.

-Ni.

And ALL problems are fixed up to this point. Anyone who wants to check out maps/towns/outdoors can.

Thanks, I have much to explore now and am preparing to release the beta of the scenario.

Ni

Ugh the tiresome dealings with enemies that do nothing put poke and poison me. I thought the swampfolk in BOA looked cool but they might be need some photons for those chlorophyllic (not a word) arms. That would not be welcome. Now squashing Rentar aaaaannnnndddd Dorikas that's Indy-worthy

Ni

Well anywho I did fix it so anyone else willing to lend a hand PM me or post here.

-NI

I've checked everything and I doubt the file just randomly decided to corrupt itself. Does anyone think it could be in the scripts?

NI?

Well Kelandon, I've been playing your scenarios for a while and I need help with a critical issue with my scenario. I don't know what you know about this but here goes. Every time I enter the scenario it plays opening text, the opening special encounter which happens to be a simple text message telling you where to go and it goes back to the main menu saying "The program encountered an error while loading scenario data. Make sure that the scenario is still in the Blades of Avernum scenarios folder. Giving the scenario editor more memory might help. It might also help to reinstall BOA and the scenarios. Error number: 3." Then I get the same message only it says error number 4. I've checked scripts and all and can't see what's wrong.

Well, currently I'm working on revamping maps, towns, etc. I can send you my scenario so far to look at. Now at the end of the segment I'm completing, you enter a portal and go to another town. But I won't spoil it for you. Either PM me your e-mail or post it here and I'll send you the file

NI

I won't spoil the plot but it basically focuses on a small region of Avernum being tormented by a cavequake tearing a hole in the ground and Draconians, an odd race of dragon type thingers attacking. Your job is too find their source and destroy it. I have had this on hold for 2 years now and intend to finish it. So anyone who would like to help me release this scenario and keep BOA alive is welcome to help. PM me for information or an e-mail, or just press your handy dandy quick reply button. Thank you a thousand times

NI!

Well Ephesos, I am terrible at coding and constantly am fixing up my monsters as all test runs prove them to be impossible to defeat by any normal means. My dialogue is constantly messing up by one NPC's node leading to a different NPC's node. I could go into more detail but I will start a new topic for the scenario if necessary. I'd like to get a beta run but it isn't ready for anyone to play it unless they play with a God Party. But anywho I tried opening files like outdoor.dat and they aren't opening. What is your method, as I tried opening it with BOA 3d editor and regular editor and they didn't work out.

Ni

I have done work with porting graphics, scripts, and scenario design. I understand much of this and have actually implemented graphics in my own scenarios (sadly none of which are released.) I can help with various tasks especially repetitive menial ones. I'm perfectly willing to help and would love to!

Yes

NI!

Well I love every good book out there but recently I have reread Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and continue to read the whole series which I haven't read yet.

I love political novels, especially Cold War era books, though sometimes historical fiction. I eagerly await the next in the Inheritance Cycle as well as Eon Coilfer's rendition of the sixth book in the Hitchhiker's trilogy.

Aye?

No NI!

So, did you manage to get it working for Geneforge 5? If so, please tell me what steps you took in which dialog script to get it.

-Master Aldrews

Right sorry about the double post go to my original one please

I need help with my new scenario "Draconian Invasion." It's part of a series of scenarios started last summer by me. I have played BOA for a lllllllllooooonnnnngggggg time and I have been cranking out bad scenarios since then. I finally learned basic scripting and started out making semi-decent half done ones. It has a small part done and has a full data file. But I am young and foolish yet an experienced BOA player. I need help from a mighty designer (or just a good one) to Pre-Beta test this and help me out here. I'd prefer if you had one scenario out and knew how to script. Or a utility.

I need help with my scenario "Draconian Invasion" which is part of a series of scenarios I'm making. I am a long time player of BOA and have been creating mediocre almost pitiful half-done scenarios for some time. I recently learned about basic scripting. Now I've been cranking out semi-decent half-done scenarios but this one's the star of them. I have a small part of it done with a full data file. I need people who have experience playing BOA for a bit and who can script and make scenarios. Preferably with one out or in the making. Please make a post here if you want to help and are mildly qualified.
