Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I discovered by accident that if you have this in your game notes you can temporarily redecorate almost any town in Avernum: Click to reveal.. Looking at it in your notes causes the primary walls in whatever town you're in to switch to the Vahnatai wall set. I have to say that the Spiral Pit looked a lot nicer that way. Screenshots exist, but unfortunately I seem to be unable to upload them. and here they are: Click to reveal.. Click to reveal.. Click to reveal..

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thank you, Dikiyoba, but both Photobucket and ImageShack want me to update my browser. I can do that for free, but not without also updating my OS, which is most definitely not free. And I'm not even sure it's possible/practical, as I'm on a Mac Mini. 1 GB really seemed like a lot at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Erebus the Black Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Still does to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 imagshack etc work fine with firefox and unless you have some very old os then upload should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Man, I miss the old days. "Charles Babbage" and "Ada Lovelace" are much more interesting names than "Steve Jobs" and "Bill Gates." Actually, "Steve Wozniak" isn't half bad.

The largest computer (in terms of physical size, anyway) I've ever seen up close actually took up two whole floors in an office building. Then again, remember the ENIAC? Quote: a bug in a computer was an actual insect. I forgot all about that one. That's how we got the term "debugging": someone had to go inside the room where the computer was and kill the insects that had taken up residence. Maybe they used a manual debugging tool similar to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 LOL! Fun! What a bizarre random bug. How in the world did you discover saving and reading that entry would do this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 By accident, more or less. It happened in the Tower after I looked at my notes. It seemed so bizarre that I didn't want to report it unless I could repeat it, so I experimented until I had isolated the specific entry.
