Re: So, I guess that's it

Looking back, it is a shame that xolotl and SpottedShroom didn't get together and release an updated editor without permission from Basilisk Games. If I could code I would have. If only we could have. It wasn't a permission issue, it was a technical one. There simply weren't enough hooks into the g...

Re: So, I guess that's it

One of the biggest things that I was looking forward to was the Book III editor. Seeing it in the promised features section made my heart race. My thoughts were: 'All those plans I have made during the years, finally a chance to make them a reality!' And so I waited. I bought Book III and I enjoyed...

Modding the Eschalon Series

Since the current editing tools from Xolotl and SpottedShroom allow editing of all three Books I was wondering if it would be useful to replace the "Modding - Eschalon: Book III" forum with maybe one in The Drunken Lizard Pub category to be limited to modding per se: subjects related to us...

Re: Trapped in Atrox Deep, and with no earlier savegames

Yeah. That trap seems oddly out place within the overall design of the series... But be that as it may, you are definitely stuck. If you prefer not to load a save, editing your save game is the only option. Xolotl and SpottedShroom have developed some pretty awesome editors for each game. Unfortunat...

Re: Does anyone want to start a MOD topic?

FWIW, my take on a Basilisk-created modding application was pretty much that it would have required more work and resources than would make it practical. Games like Elder Scrolls have great modding tools because those tools were actually used to build the game. The coders created the construction se...

Re: A Beginner’s Guide to Modding

I think this is the right idea. Mod creating is an endeavor where peer support would help. The editor is great work. I haven't had a chance to play with it since early versions when map creation was pretty tedious. It looks nice at this point. Some tutorials for use would be very useful. The process...

There almost were. I mentioned in testing that Hasbro/WoTC can be pretty litigious about these things.
Well, ya came pretty close :)

Though they look nothing like the daedroth I first encountered in my travels through Azura's Coast, someone apparently misnamed them daedrotha. There's one under your bed.

Re: widgets

I'm trying to figure out why you're getting stuck here. You've seen the beholders, so you reached the intersection with the four gates? The first gate should be open, allowing you to enter the intersection. Then inside the intersection, you should see a lever, which will open the northern gate (and...

Ummm... You'll probably need to cast that at a higher spell level.

It sounds to me like your gfx card may be going. Can you run diagnostics on it?

Then there's random loot. Conditional statements would be great.

Randomness function?

Any chance there is a random # function available for scripts?

What "magic circle room"? I don't recall anywhere you need to pick a lock to advance in the game.
Are you using a mod? I also don't remember a magic circle room. Where exactly is it?
Maybe "magic circle" = teleporter?
