I have been reading the stuff on making a qwest and i've come up with quite a good one but I need some advice as to where to go from here

my plan is that you know you meet becket at oxbay then at redmond and in redmond he asks you for the gold... well my plan is that if you don't have it and you say that then he gets very annoyed and says "it's nothing personal it's just good buisness" then you are transported to a sea battle where you are fighting the endeavour

this is the main coding I can get for becket in quest reactions

as you can see there's alot and I haven't even checked the dialogs yet! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> most I can leave alone but my main problem is the jump to the sea battle and the sea battle please could I have some advice.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

That sounds like a nice idea. One thing you should know is that for Build 14 are working on the Selectable Storylines mod that will allow you to choose one of several main quests at the beginning of the game. The Jack Sparrow one will be on of them. Short Jack Gold is working on that and is probably the best person to help you.

What I could recommend you to do is to search for "Flying Dutchman" in quests_reaction.c. There's a coded battle with the Dutchman in Bartolomeu's First Contact quest, which should show you how you can set up a sea battle.

 

[Thomas the Terror]

Maybe you can better move that encounter to the part with the slaves, it would be weird if he'd attack you with such a big ship just because he is annoyed... But it is a good start

 

[tbexon]

one small problem the version i've got (build alpah 7 plus) deosn't have it in the file

 

[Thomas the Terror]

I recommend that you upgrade to 14 8a, the newest build, thenyou can keep up to date AND it is a lot more stable then 14 7

do I just copy it over or is there an installer.

p.s is this version more stable as in my old one I couldn't change the starting ships in internal settings

 

[Pieter Boelen]

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
Sorry about that. Thomas' suggestion is a good one; it is in the Alpha 8 WIP files. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

 

[tbexon]

little problem my internal sttings choose ships still aren't working? help please

Which game version? One of the Alpha 8 WIP versions? Are the ship settings in InternalSettings.h strings now instead of #defines? Try the ingame Options>Advanced Options interface. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

strings <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

Ah; that complicates matters. Changing the strings doesn't readily work and you need to change it in the Options>Advanced Options menu. Personally I thought this was pretty silly, having to choose what choices you want, so in later game versions I reset them back to #defines, which do work instantly.

I tried resetting it in option adanced and they all went to #defines execpt the ships and the charaters

and changed them to:

but it didn't work <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Indeed that wouldn't work. It'd require some more work than just that.
In any case, Build 14 Alpha 8 is available now, so I recommend you get that game version. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
