Fledgling Fyora Darkest90 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Could you make your own race? Add something like Slithzerakai and Nephilim with their own stats, and let those characters join your party? Can you make it so that when you create a party, you can get different races? This may sound like a farfetched question, but I really would like to see a few more races out there. Thanks, Darkest90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, what? You can already have Slithzerikai and Nephilim in your party. Just click on the race portrait in the character creation screen.

Articulate Vlish Rufo Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 If you are talking about creating new races, Jeff made clear before Spiderweb released the editor that there wouldn't be any possibility to do that. His intention with creating the editor was that people should design scenarios about the Avernum universe, he hadn't time or money to create a RPG development utility. Thus he didn't include a possibility to design new races. I don't think it's a bad idea, thought. I wouldn't mind some Vahnatai in the party...but I guess they're more bound to their people than Sliths and Nephils. So they wouldn't join a party of adventurers just like that. But we'll see. Maybe some day I hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 If Jeff ever makes another Exile/Avernum game, Vahnatai will not be anything more than NPCs, unless the game is set underground. Vahnatai will die if ever exposed to sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Vahnatai used to live on the surface, according to A3, so I think you've been 0wned By Avernum Canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Lattan Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Couldn't you create new races by replacing character pics and using custom special stats or items to modify experience? (I don't know if this is possible, but people dismissed the idea really quickly, which I've noticed tends to be a bad idea with scriptable engines like this...or anything else, really.)

Curious Artila Drakon Master Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 That would be cool if wecould get Vanahti or whatever. There is a way that I know of to do it but it involves a bit of graphic moving and stuff and it will only happen on YOUR OWN computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Sure you could, SNM. You just wouldn't be able to include your race mod in a scenario or anything, since it would require external tinkering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Lattan Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Oh, we're smart. If people can drop a scenario in the right folder, they can replace a graphics file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 It's been done before in BoE, but be warned that SW refuses to host scenarios that replace core files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 They also claim that it is against the rules . It may be some sort of violation of the Blades license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Jeff stresses compatibility, from what I can tell. This is a fairly reasonable standpoint. If you want to create such a scenario, you can host it in your own space. Jeff probably just doesn't want to hear complaints from morons who manage to overwrite their files permanently or do something ridiculously stupid while installing your scenario.
