Re: Semi-official bug tracking thread (SPOILERS)

I have an odd and somewhat exploitable bug to report. In the Akadai Underworld, I am somehow able to spawn a (so far) unlimited number of loot bags each containing a single Fetid Grubb Tumor by simply saving and reloading my game. This is related to the fix a bug where you could get stuck in the Ak...

Re: Would you purchase the soundtrack if it was available?

The one thing I do promise, 100% for sure, is a deluxe Trilogy download edition. It will be all three games on all three platforms, high-res map of the world, and a soundtrack pieced together from tracks (all three games) that I can get approval on distributing. It will be a big, fat digital downlo...

Re: Book III Character / Map Editor v1.0.1 (April 16, 2014)

Question: I'm using the Character Editor for Book III on a MacBook, OS 10.9.x. Looking for the directory where the datpak and character files are located. I'm not sure where to point the character editor to. Some help? Thanks. In the Finder, hold down the Option key and click the Go menu. From ther...

Re: Prefixes / Suffixes for special weapons/armor

Looking more closely down that list, there are plenty that I've seen. Supreme, Fiendish, etc. Each one is a particular bonus level on the object at creation. I've definitely seen a "Hellforged" weapon in at least one of my playthroughs as well. That said, some of those prefixes (e.g. Keen...

Re: Filling containers

Specifically it's the names in the "DESCRIPTION" field which you have to use. A few things to note: It looks like in general the items with apostrophes use "regular" apostrophes, with the exception of "A Bar Brawler's Guide," which uses a fancier one. Note that "C...

Re: Frequent crashes

I'm running MacOs 10.5.8 on a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 mac with 3 GB memory. I got book 3 this morning, and I've had a dozen crashes today while it's been running. Sometimes, it's a screen freeze, sometimes a straight crash. I've always done at least one restart before opening Book 3 again. This compu...

Re: Randomness function?

The problem with random numbers is: what do you do with it once you've generated a number? As far as I can determine, you'd need to somehow assign that random number to a variable in order to use it in any meaningful way...but the Eschalon scripting engine is so rudimentary it doesn't support varia...

Re: Max-out INT point for memorized spells.

I looked for a topic or post that addressed this but couldn't find. Maybe it's there and I didn't see it. There's info about a link to the info about this in the BOOK III Complete SPELL List . To answer the question more directly, there are a total 24 Divination spells in Book III (I'm assuming the...

Re: Need help with portrait

Ok I bought at first the app store version of book 3 and it won't let me add the mypic custom portrait and the game kept asking to be updated, so I uninstalled that and bough the GOG version of it and it installed much easier but still not allowing me to use mypic custom portrait, now I've done the...
