I am thinking perhaps there should be some more openness between the various modders concerning the work on Alpha 8. Previously Pirate_KK was the only person to have all the new stuff, but now I also have all his files. I am thinking we should make this version available to the other modders so that you can all see what is being worked on and can also take the changes into account for your own mods. This is especially important because the QuestBook code has been rewritten while Short Jack Gold and Bartolomeu o Portugues are working on new quests. It is relatively easy to convert old queststexts to the new format, but still it's better if all modders know what is going on.

It would also be usefull if the modders would be aware of what everybody else is working on. I would like to acchieve a way of working where we are all contributing to the same game version and we all have access to each other's files as much as possible in order to work as efficiently as possible. So I was wondering what the other modders think of this idea.
 
Of course, I support the idea of, Of course, I support the idea (vote for yes).

So Yes, Yes (hoping to sneak two votes in here <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> )
 
well, i say yes, me says yes, i be sayin' yes, and morgan terror over there says yes, not to forget mr. morgan who also says yes.
 
LOL. It's not going to do YOU any good though, because it's still not an amazingly stable game version. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Yes, I confirm what Pieter said: it's not a stable version at all, at all, at all. It has bugs, bugs, including serious ones, serious twos, serious threes. As well as some unimportant bugs bugs, glitches, glitchess, glichesss x 10.

AND TIME ON OUR HANDS !!!

(given my situation today that really is funny for me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> )
 
Agreeeeedddd about your idea, Pieter <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Very well then. I'll get to work on it tomorrow. Please note that this is only intended for the modders and not for potential players. It'll just be too frustrating, so for players wait until Alpha 8. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Absolutely <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> And not only for Alpha 8. In the past we had already a hell lot of problems because modders overwrote other people's work without even noticing anyone. Probably in good faith and with the best intentions, but still the result was EXTREMELY frustrating <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

So it would be nice if modders would post here what they are about to change BEFORE it is compiled into the Build. I concede that this requires some boring labor, but it would help other modders, and would also help new modders to learn.
 
Agreed. It would be very useful to know what all the modders are up to. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
I says yes, i'll be saying YES!!!, me be saying yes, my "Unlucky" 13 says yes, Cylon13 says yes and that
Lord Of The 13 on that little island over there *points at a little dot* yells also YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />
 
That seems pretty clear then. I'll get it made and uploaded. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Yes untill everyone has said their yes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

But that thankfully won't happen because Pieter already got working on uploading it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
It's uploading right now. 500 MB in 7-Zip format. That's the smallest I can get it, I think. We can continue to use this thread for discussion amongst the modders concerning the Alpha 8 WIP version.

I finished uploading the file!

<b><a href="http://piratesahoy.net/build/Build%2014%20Alpha%208%20WIP/b14_alpha8_wip1.7z" target="_blank">Download</a></b> (495 MB)
Note: It is in 7-Zip format, because that gives the best compression and the smallest filesize. You'll need the free <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/download.html" target="_blank">7-Zip</a> to extract.

This file is meant as update for Alpha 6. However, I didn't spend much time on compiling it, so there might be slight mistakes in there. It comes recommended to install Alpha 7 and Alpha 7 Plus first, just in case. Make sure to run the correct EXE and BAT files!

This file is meant for modders only! It is known to be unstable, but at least it will allow you to have a look at the latest stuff and try them out. Especially the Capture Colonies mod comes highly recommended: After capturing a fort, you'll end up fighting in the town and eventually you'll get to talk with the governor. Here you can give the town to another nation or take it for yourself and assign two of your officers as governor and fort commander.
 
That sounds good <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
