Hi everybody,
There's a new version of Avalon available, 4.3.5:
http://www.play.net/gs4/play/avalon-info.asp
A couple of notes: the script output indicator is now script> instead of s>, move commands issued by scripts will show the script output notice too now, and scrolling the story window up should be easier and more reliable when there's stuff going on.

Hi Ixix!
First, thank you so much for the new version, it's made gameplay much nicer for me as I can finally change the font and the font size. Very useful when you've been playing for a few hours, hah!
The scrolling is -much- improved and your notes are exactly right, it's far easier to scroll back and check/read things when there's a lot of input going on, merchants, storylines, etc. However, during the long Lich's Landing stuff on Friday I did notice that after a while, it went back to its old tricks of snapping back to the input instead of letting me scroll back. I tried restarting and it worked just fine again, and then a while later, it started up again.
I am -not- complaining, it's obviously a difficult puzzle and as I said it's greatly improved. I just thought that knowing that might help you in your future efforts. Much appreciated!

Berkana,
I had no trouble with Lich and Avalon on previous versions. There are some Lich scripts which add interface options that probably won't work, though. But that's a problem on a non-Windows machine no matter which front end you use. There are alternative scripts to try.
Lich doesn't seem to care whether I run Profanity, StormFront under Wine, or Avalon. It's all the same install of Lich.
I'm going to give Avalon a try again in a month or two and see if the updates . Life is too hectic right now to switch anything. :)

I did have some problems with a Lich script, but I can't remember which one now. I think it was that the interface wouldn't pop up. I ended up switching to my tiiiiny laptop so I could run Stormfront since it is visually prettier with the links and highlighting.
