Horatio Hornblower Quest!

Hello!, guys as you may know I'm working on Quest about Horatio Hornblower. Don't think that it will be a big quest it's pretty simple actually. So far right now I got 3 characters that are complete.

1. Horatio Hornblower "Recruit able"
2. Commodore Foster "Not Recruit able"
3. Lieutenant Bush "Recruit able"

The story goes like this;

When you appear at the pier in Redmond, Horatio will talk to you about Navy's Officers you can recruit in town. He also inform you that the Commodore is in charge of the recruitment. From here on, you guys can guess the rest.

I will put more characters I got in mind 3 more:

4. M'Man Orrock "Recruit able"
5. Buccaneer Matthews "Recruit able"
6. Buccaneer Styles "Recruit able"

I don't know if you guys gonna like that story but we can change it if we have to. They will be normal officer, like the random officers you recruit in the tavern, the only difference will be this;

1. You can choose where to put abilities point and skills point
2. They all start at rank5 with 90hp + 5 ability points and 10 skills points
3. You can talk to them as they were normal random officer and hoist your flag or erect a building
4. All type of officer are specific, so no random type
5. Price of officer are below then a random officers
6. That quest is meant for starters, you can recruit them if your high ranking, if you want to take the time to level them up

This is pretty much what I got in mind, I thought to share it with you guys.

Also Thomas the terror I will require your model you got for Horatio, it's a very good one, good work on it. I don't know if it's hard work I presume it is but is it possible to create the picture of Matthews and Styles with they buccaneer hat, it will be amazing for my quest having those skins.

Cheers,
 
Running out of time now, so I will give you the Hornblower model and skin. And the Matthews and Styles I can't promise, my holiday is over now, so next week I will have very little time.
 
Horatio is now on the FTP on my map. If you have 14A6 or higher, you don't have too add any code. Otherwise:
In initmodels.c
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->// Thomas the Terror -->
    makeref(model,Models[n]);
    model.description =  "How about a young promising Royal Navy lieutenant?";
    model.id       =  "lt_Horatio_Hornblower";
    model.FaceId    = 210;
    model.nation      =  ENGLAND;
    model.price       =  2500;
    model.assigned    =  true;
    model.name = "Horatio";
    model.lastname = "Hornblower";
    n++;
    // Thomas the Terror <--<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

And this in models_description.ini
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->How about a young promising Royal Navy lieutenant?{How about a young promising Royal Navy lieutenant?}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
 
Great to see you working on a Horatio Hornblowr quest. It's really cool that Thomas' model will now also be used.

Would you possibly consider making a Horation Hornblower <i>main</i> quest with the player himself being Horatio? We are currently more-or-less working on enabeling multiple main quests and having a Hornblower main quest would be very cool. Please have a look at <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=11556&hl=" target="_blank">this</a> thread. You could then also use Thomas the Terror's Indefatigable ship reskin. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
But, can't test what I've got so far, my copied version of POTC which is for the mod, has an abnormal termination on startup.
 
Ok! Gonna let Darth-me do it, it's a to big challenge for me, I'm just starting in this domain and i doubt I will be able to do it. Anyway someone already working on Horatio and I don't want to interfere, good luck in your quest. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" />


Cheers,
 
Exactly. I'm sure you CAN do it. If you can do small quests with help, you can do big quests with help. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Alright I give it a try, right now I'm enjoying the game, something I should do from the start so I know how the content of the game is. So far the farthest I went in the game where when you start looking for that traitor. So as you can see I didn't do a lot of quest. This way I will know more about quest and stuff that will help me for making the quest.
