Recommended Posts

May I suggest that if you did not find what you were looking for on the main web site, you were not looking hard enough? You have a question about one of the games, so click on Our Games . Then, since you want to know about Avernum, click on Avernum . At that point, you have a question about a technical issue, so you are looking for support, so click on Upgrades & Support . Scroll down, and you will find this:

Reactivating the Character Editor

You can turn off the character editor permanently. Should you have done this and want your character editor back, this is how to restore it (written backwards for extra secrecy): fI gnisu a hsotnicaM, worht yawa eht "munrevA sferP" elif ni eht secnereferP redlof. fI gnisu swodniW, eteled eht "tad.munrevA" elif ni eht munrevA ataD redlof. Please note if you have registered the game, this might unregister it. If your game becomes unregistered, contact us for a new key by calling 206.789.4438 or emailing spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com. There is no charge for this but please include the name you registered under, which game you need a new key for and your current registration code (located in the lower right hand corner of the title screen).

Note also that a quick search of this forum on "editor" will find you two other topics on the same thing.

While this is noticeably off-topic (and off-forum), I might as well answer.

 

There are two different editors involved in BoA. One is the Character Editor, which is much like the ones in the Avernum Trilogy.

 

The other is the Scenario Editor, which allows people to create new scenarios — new games, essentially. These new scenarios can emulate new spells well and to some extent new skills, although those new spells and skills only apply to each scenario for which they are designed.

 

A scenario can't really add new races (although one could kind of fake it) or genuinely add new spells and skills, though. It can add new items quite well.

 

As a sidenote, and a personal plug, the HLPM is a scenario that allows you to edit some additional things in BoA that the Character Editor doesn't, like level and traits, and does a few other things besides.

No races. No real skills. No real spells. You can fake them, but that's all you can do.

 

—Alorael, who will also point out that all changes are for one scenario only. It's fairly easy to hand out pseudospells in various forms and to tell people that they are playing a race regardless of their PCs, but BoA doesn't support it.
