Hello. I just got a new iMac today, to replace the old one. I find first that the version of Avalon I was using (4.1.5) will no longer work. So I downloaded the newer version, but I am having some problems.

First, what do I need to transfer and to where to get all of my macros and settings back? The new Mac OS (Catalina) seems to work differently. I am not able to get my macros to work.

Second, does YASSE work with the new version (4.3.5)? If not, does 4.3.5 have a script engine--although the previous built-in script engines in Avalon would never work for me anyway. And is there any information anywhere on how the script engine works in Avalon if there is one?

Thanks for any help.

I can help with the Lich aspect.

But before we go there - have you tried just copying over your old Avalon app, and the appropriate script directory? Is that even an option any more for you?

I know there are problems with native scripting in Avalon, but I don't know where the staff is on addressing them.

Yes, the 32-bit exclusion. Ixix was kind enough to cut a new Avalon, but the scripting engine didn't (doesn't?) work. And I've never gotten YASSE to work with it.

In truth, though, I never tried very hard, since I can get Lich installed on Mac OS 'easily' enough.

>Avalon seems to parse the old script files right, but as already noted it just breezes through the WAITFOR/WAITRT commands. It's been awhile since I tried one so I could be wrong.

No, you are not wrong. That is a large part of the problem.

First off, I want to give a huge shout out to Doug. He helped me get Lich installed, and it all seems to be running fine. I have not actually done anything with it yet, but assuming it works well for me, that will allow me to keep playing. That's not hyperbole; I really can't imagine playing this game without scripts, and since I could no longer use YASSE and the Avalon native script engine does not work well, I was wondering if I was going to have to unsubscribe. So someone at Simu needs to send Doug a thank you, because he just saved three premium accounts for you. :). And in any case, Doug definitely has my thanks.

On another note, it would be really nice if someone could fix the Avalon native script engine. It seems so close. I was using it for a bit last night (since I did not have Lich installed yet), and for short scripts it is perfect. But for travel, for alchemy, for anything that takes any time or is at all complicated, it does not work because it goes so fast and blows through waitfor commands and such. I know nothing about programming, but it seems like it would be pretty fixable, and having a built-in script engine for Mac would be a great thing.
