*sigh*Estralis Seborian wrote:Some people made promises they never planned to fulfill as it seems.
Well, so much work went into this project already that it would be a pitty if it is not put into the game soon. Before it will be postponed any longer I volunteer to make another NPC if nobody else wants to do it. Just tell me the NPC that you want me to do. I can use any existing code appropriate NPC as well.Estralis Seborian wrote: Project was stalled for some time (see other posts) and I completed other projects first, giving everyone involved more time. But as it seems, I'll have to do all what remains by myself .

I'll do Mining 2 (Silberbrand) then. I hope that the dwarves of Silberbrand can help me with this. I assume that nobody started this, right?Estralis Seborian wrote:Fine!
What needs to be done:
-Mining 2 (Silverbrand)
-Fishing (Zzyathis, points to the butcher again)
Three NPCs are 100% finished, and four I am revising/completing one after another. Thanks for the support!

Well, first you should read the description for this project right at the start of this thread as it explains how the quest and the sequence is suppose to work.Hadrian_Abela wrote: Sure I'm on it, just tell me what needs to be done, and it shall.
You should make yourself familiar with the script language, which isn't too complicated. The template will help you here most of the time.
Then you should contact Kranek to see if he has already done something for this quest. It is up to you to use it or to follow your own idea.
I will have to send you some information about the NPC of the Wheat Farming (Greenbriar) quest because it relates to your NPC.

Well, not being regulations but rather recommendations, here are the guidelines I applied while revising:Magdha Tiefenerz wrote:I think it would be easier for everyone if these regulations are published.
- Avoid strings with more than 250 characters; results in strange linebreaks
- Low and simple numbers should be written as words ("I give you ten copper coins for five ingots"). High numbers should be written with numbers ("357")
- Add as much small talk as possible and give clear hints on keywords. Nobody likes guessing keywords
- Let the noobs have the tools; demanding them back might cause people to abort the quests due to the tools being worth more than the reward
- Stick to the template; the quests 1-3 should deal with items of the craft (no, treasure maps are not part of fishing ) while the 4th quest should deal with items of the craft, next in the list
- Give a clear hint where to find the next quest
- Check your spelling with e.g. MS Word, both for the english and the german part
Allright, I have done quite a bit with the fisher-lizzy
I couldn't think of a 3rd item - since the only things you get from only fishing is trout and salmon, everythign else can be produced by other crafts.
No idea how to do the 4th quest - what exactly should I be doing for that?
Aside from the german-translation requirements and the above two I'm almost done.

How about a quest to smoke the fish?
This belongs to cooking, but oh well, who cares?
One of my quest by the minerNPC of Varshikar is to get life roots. You need to cut down the tree,and this belongs to lumberjacking, before you can dig for the root, but It's fine.
Aaaaaand...
How about a "bring me three thing of rubbish which you find during fishing"-quest?
Maybe a bit harder to script...but i am sure you can do it

Smoking fish sounds fine to me, even though it is related to cooking; better than oil lamps in any case!
The 4th quest should point to the butcher in Troll's Bane. So, something like this:
"I need leather/ham/insides because of stupid reason, you can ask for NPC_Name in Troll's Bane, he's a cool butcher dude."

It needs a german translation though. Who do I send it to?
That would be me, I guess. Do you want me to make the necessary changes that are needed for the connection to the Wheat Farming Quest or do you want me to send you the informations, so that you can do the changes yourself?Estralis Seborian wrote: For proof-reading, you will team up with the scripter who is above you in the list so he/she corrects your typos and knows exactly where to send his/her own NPC (name, location, type of NPC,...).
