This makes the call useless for creatures (it was originally intended for use in terrain scripts). If you use this call in a creature script, it will return the number of the creature whose script is running, not the nearest other creature. So town_status(-1) will return the status of the current town, but town_status() won't work correctly. The call town_status only works when passed the valus -1 (for the current town). That weapon (for example, a nephil archer can potentially have a yew orĬavewood bow), but don't have a single creature type that can have a bow orĪ crossbow, or a bow or javelins. The creature can potentially have different versions of To work around this, have any given creature type only carry one variety of ForĮxample, if a creature can start with a bow or with razordisks, you can get Systems when you set a creature type to be able to start with multiple

It is an unfortunate result of the way Universal code handles PICT resources and how badly some graphics editors (especially AppleWorks) handle PICT resources. It is unfortunate that this is necessary. Alternately, simply copy-paste it into Photoshop and then copy-paste it back into the resource file.

To solve the problem, copy-paste the PICT into a graphics editor, move the graphic to the far upper left, and copy-paste it back into the resource file. Only a few of them (AppleWorks being the most common) create PICT resources with bad framing rectangles. Most graphics editors (like Photoshop) don't ever cause this problem. If the top and left values for the PICT's rectangle are not both 0, the graphic will not look right in the game. In ResEdit and Resourcerer, you can check the frame rectangle for the PICT resource by opening it and opening the detailed information window. The frame for each PICT resource has to be all the way to the upper left (in other words, the top and left values have to be 0). Mixed Scenario Design Issues Important Note About Custom Graphics For the Macintoshīlades of Avernum v1.2 and later for the Macintosh are far touchier about the format for the PICT resources in custom graphics. Editor Support for the Macintosh and Windows It is recommended that you avoid using the faulty calls. Reading through this list is a good idea for new scenario designers. Also, several of the creatures, terrain types, and other assets in the default scenario data script are faulty. There are a number of problems with some of the calls in Blades of Avernum.
