Certain magic items protect from fire. Others from cold. If memory serves, nothing protects from darkness.

You can use Nethergate art in Blades of Exile scenarios, and ONLY in Blades scenarios.

>I have a few things:
>1. To make the illusion of moving walls (but to get it to look right they

>then change the 2nd wall type into floor during runtime and change the floor
>(you may have to make a 2nd floor terrain too) into a wall.

Interesting idea.

>2. Why won't Capture Soul/Simulacrum work? Those are my favorite spells!

Upgrade to the latest version.

>3. I found a way to make an underground outdoors section. create a cave

This is how Exile III has both outdoor and dungeon sections.

Sure you can. There are special nodes to increment a stuff done flag, and other nodes to check if the flag has gone above a certain point.

For you use put special encounters in them.

###

>May we use nethergate item graphics in blades?

You can use Nethergate graphics for Blades of Exile scenarios, but only
Blade scenarios (not different games).

These are used as custom graphics.

You can't change towns/dungeon levels during dialogue.

(1.)
In the scenario editor, when you make a new scenario, the "world hieght/width" will not allow you to select more than 9X9. What is the problem?

It just gets too big for the game to handle. There has to be an upper limit somewhere. And, believe me, 9x9 should be more than enough.

Could you e-mail me back some 'easier to understand' instructions on how to make custom graphics.


There are piles of examples and discussions of the topic on our Scenario Workshop. We can't make it much easier than that.

In Exile III. When you join the Anama your mage spells are taken away. Is there a way to do this in the scenario editor?

Nope.

>How do you make a town look like it has been attack. Like in exlie III

>some of the walls are brocken and some crake

Yes you can. There's one feature that lets you have variable town entrances depending on the value of a stuff done flag. I refer you to the documentation.
