* "It's the genre flag-bearer for offering substance over flash, and it's an epic finale for a series that deserves respect." - PC Gamer * Independent RPG of the Year Runner-up, RPG of the Year Runner-up - GameBanshee But if even a few people prefer mine then I am happy.* "Avernum VI on the iPad takes the crown of ‘best mobile RPG’ easily" - GearDiary I doubt it will be as popular as the one the Celtic Minstrel is working on, because it has been out in the community longer.

I am even taking on the task of polishing my C++ skills in order to present my Blades of Exile Scenario Editor to the Mac community. I am able to use my left hand again, my walking is almost normal again, and best of all, I am clear-headed enough to grind through even the heaviest days at work. He changed my medication, and it has had a tremendously potent effect in reversing the symptoms. He diagnosed me with a form of Parkinson's Disease. Last December I decided to change neurologists. Thank god I get to sit at a desk all day, but losing the use of my left hand severely impaired my work. It was all I could do to make it through a days work. The medications I was taking to relieve the symptoms made me sleepy. Once I got pulled back into the SW community, I have come to appreciate the interaction with other gamers.įor the past few years I have been having increasing trouble with the left side of my body, arm and leg. It was not until the server that hosted Silver Harloe's Annotated Maps for Avernum went offline, that I felt comfortable mirroring someone elses work. My web site languished for a couple of years with little to no notice. I like putting together picture puzzles you get out of the box, but programming is like solving puzzles you can only see with your mind. Yes it took a lot of time and patience, but this is the sort of stuff I live for. I intend to finish Avernum 5 and 6 in the same fashion. Again, I used a walkthrough written by Matt P.
The tricky part was how best to present the maps, as they did not fit the models used for the first three games. Actually it was for Avernum 5, but the principle is the same for all three games.
I got the hint for a cheat while Googling the pages of this forum. In Avernum 4-6 there is no magic spell to see unseeable areas, and even so, some areas are far out of range even for that. Combine the text walkthrough written by Matt P. A bit of work building the HTML pages (I shunned tools like Frontpage. Once I had the entire area mapped, alt-PrintScreen, Paint, save. Save the game, cast Farsight, anything interesting, no? restore the game, proceed to the next area. I used the Character Editor to build a really juiced up team with insanely high abilities, then explored every nook and cranny.

How did I get the full detail? In Avernum 2 there is a Mage spell Farsight. They only took 3 months apiece just to scrape the maps. This is because I have to put in a lot of overtime hours at work. Along the way I was learning HTML and Java, just trying to figure out how these pages worked.Īs to how long it took to do Avernum 2 and Avernum 4, I would guess it took about a year apiece. (Remember, I wanted these for local use, with no need to hit the internet.) Then you have to survey your own copy, again checking each and every link, making sure you have captured all the images. Then you have to do some editing to remove the ads that the web server would stick in. You have to make sure you follow every link so you don't miss a page. Scraping these two websites took months to do. I am happy to share that with the SW community.
Rache never did complete her second version, so I did it for myself. Again, I made the effort to scrape it for my personal archive. She had completed one version, rather simple in form, and had started a much more elegant version. Secondly, the credit for the Avernum 3 maps goes to Rache Leukefeld. The inspiration for doing the complete maps for Avernum 2 came from his work on Avernum 1. He had started the 2nd game, but never got past the newbie area. I merely scraped them off the web for my personal use and to preserve them should the server go offline. If you read my Updates and News page, you'll get the whole history.įirst off, the credit for the Avernum 1 maps goes to Silver Harloe.
