Fledgling Fyora FTP Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 First of all, I would like to state that I already used the search engine to verify about my next question but failed to find anything. So...to the question: Will be (or there is) a missio/campaing editor for Avadon yet? It would be really enjoyable to make whole campaings in this new game.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 No, there is not and will not be a way to drastically mod Avadon. Most versions (ie, all versions except the one from the Mac App store) allow you to tweak the scripts a bit (create a character editor, fix some bugs, etc.) but whole new campaigns are impossible.

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Jeff tried this twice actually. Once with Blades of Exile, and again with Blades of Avernum. I recommend them both; however, the former was much more successful than the latter. Blades of Avernum caused a huge sink in money for Jeff, and it almost bankrupted the company. You are very unlikely to ever see something like that again, given the high cost and poor sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean no blades remake after the new exile remakes. That would make me a sad panda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make me a sad panda. Doing things like this is always tricky because there's always the possibility that by doing so, something that is used in the user-created content breaks. I think the best we can realistically hope for is that Jeff either continues to support BoA by making it playable on new computers, or he releases the source code to the community. Either way, the game isn't ever going to end up using the Avernum 6/Avadon engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 A Blades of Avernum (Second Trilogy Style) or Blades of Avernum (Original Trilogy Remake Style) wouldn't be able to support the original scenarios anyway. The engines are too different. —Alorael, who would count on BoA becoming entirely open source eventually, like BoE. He'd also count on Jeff never trying to make a user-friendly editor again. He might be convinced to release the unpolished tools he uses, without support, but probably not; no matter how many warnings he slaps on them, angry customers will reject anything that doesn't run smoothly.

Hatchling Cockatrice Archaeolagent Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It's in progress. When it pops back up you'll see why it took so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engines are too different. How so? The only major issues that I can think of are the laser mirror puzzles and time passage. By that logic, Avernum 3 would be incompatible with the new engine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright...I can understand all the economical issues atached to it but its just a pitty since mods and new user made stuff always bring more life to games.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 yea but on Avadon's and Avernum's case missions can't be added to game easily and it would need new story too why party would get sent there etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
