Thynar

As the title states, I have not seen it on Steam yet, but the game's page states that it is on Steam, GOG.com and such:

I've been playing the demo, and I want more!

Enhance your skills at casting Essence Armor, it might even be useful.

In my opinion, the music is where it needs to be, the ending credits, and the main menu.

Its sphax purebdcraft, there's a pack with textures for most of the Sopris mods here (128x).

That second link is broken for me, it leads to a Linksys 404 error page.

As a reminder, the Sopris server is not a hugelarge minecraft server, and if you steal things we will, in fact, notice things are missing. Especially when you try to start a conversation with an op about stealing things. Sorry MMXPERT, but you might have actually gotten away with it if you didn't go "Officer, how would I go about robbing that bank". Thanks for stress-testing our worldguard system though!

 

In lighter news, the end dragon was a blast, I wish i'd gotten screenshots of the actual event but I just have a stairs pic like grimm's, in Quake Pro: http://cdn.calref.ne...sc/d973f488.png

Which Texture Pack is that?

It was good.

Pong and Tetris are very unrealistic.

Hopefully not!

I think we'll see more activity closer to Avadon 2's release

You'll be happy to know that Avernum 2 is already out!

Sweet! You guys play it too!

I'd like to come along sometime! I'll be Thynar, I'll see if anyone's on at 6 PM EST to 9 PM EST

Probably a Drakon, since they're the creations that are closest to humans in the series, come on, they were shaped to imitate Shapers!

Yay!

How can I become a beta-tester?

He's alive in Avadon 2, so yes, forget it!

Why would an older Nathalie mean the death of other three hands?

At first glance, it looked like Nathalie looking over the bodies of the other three Hand followers, now I'm not sure, because if Redbeard is alive, then that means either the original party did not succeed in killing him (The endgame fight is pretty difficult) or sided and stayed loyal, or they split up.

What do you think happened? (As the canon) It's always fun to speculate

Could also just be a random sorceress, or even just a blonde-haired random. I don't think you can draw any conclusions from it...

I think we're supposed to be looking at the Snare Turret skill here, but yeah, male sorceresses will be cool.

I think it's Natalie because of the arm-sling, it was hinted that she would never fully recover, it's all speculation though.

Lets look at the new screenshots.

I think this is the second floor of 'new' Avadon, we can see the ? in the minimap, hinting that it's a stairway up or down.

I think this could be somewhere in the Kva, but there aren't any cacti in view, so some corrupted or dry woodland.

New potential Hand party members, with stronger personalities!

This got me really excited, it looks like Eye Leyara, or an older Natalie, that would mean Shima, Sevilin and Jenell died, and YOU disappear in the proper Spiderweb fashion.

Seeing the Razordisk and Lockpick icons, I'm sure this is a revamped Shadowwalker skill tree, on a female, too! MALE SORCERESS FTW.

I don't see anything interesting here, but I'd like to say.. I liked the Avadon 1 style of character portraits (at the top left) better.

What do you guys think?

Simple question, will we ever see a Blades of Avadon/Geneforge/Avernum anytime soon?

I couldn't find a similar topic, so I decided to make one

Seems interesting, I'm up for it

And to be fair, the engine could hide ambushes in what looks like green space instead of what looks like black space. It would just need to have an "unexplored interior of explored, opaque bondaries" fill that could display trees until the area was actually revealed to be something else. Yes, there are problems with that. Just a less abrupt fade into blackness so that it doesn't look like a thin layer of trees around an empty black space would be an improvement.

 

—Alorael, who doesn't think there was any suggestion of removing ambushes. It's a purely visual problem, and to be fair that visual problem has been a visual blight on Spiderweb games since G1. The last good-looking forest was either Avernum 3 or N:R, depending on how you determine last.

You explained it much better than me!

@BMA: I'll say the early Avernum games seem to be a good example, and I was wondering if something like that could be incorporated into Avadon 2 somehow.

I have played Avernum 3-6 + New 1, Geneforge 1-5 and Avadon, and throughout my adventures, one thing has really bugged me, not game-breaking, but on the map and isometric view, it looks a little.. off.

Here's what I'm wondering, what if the outer layer of trees were to be 'see through' like the ponds of water, you cannot step there, and it would show up as a full 'green' space on the map, with no pitch black area.

I don't see how this might be considered a cheat, it could help you spot ambushes maybe, but overall I think it would be better.

What do you guys think?

What would drive the Shapers or even the Rebels (and other sects...) to forbid the ultimate power?!

Is there a trainer that increases your skill in creating the things you can't normally shape (oink, servant mind, servile, golem )? so it appears on your shaping list with essence requirements, discription, health, mana? that would be awesome.

I want a party full of golems and serviles

I looked at http://inf1.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/function_list_raw.txt its a list of scripts used in the game, but where do I write them so I can use them in the game?

And I saw a Summon Creature script, could I summon a Drakon and then use (if there is) another command to make it a member of my party? thanks

is there a trainer that lets you create anything?

like you instantly learn how to make a drakon, gazer, drayk, fyora,thahd, artilla, and boasts it to level 3, so you can make Ur Drakons , Cryoa, Eyebeasts, that stuff?

would be really cool.
