Remember my Fred Bob Quest? Well...

Small update, I "stared at the code a little harder" and got E to meet N - she joins up temporarily as an officer so as to follow him through the jungle - and is set up so that if there is an encounter, she will "back him up" with the sword she is carrying... Heh... :cheeky

IloveitIloveitIloveit!!!!!!! :cheers
 
And now I finally figured out how to get Armand standing, YEA!!!

But now he won't talk, :cheers but I think I have an answer, just need to implement it.

GAWD this will be really cool when I'm finished, even if I do say so myself! :cheers

But now I thoroughly understand why it takes somebody so darned long to make a quest like this... I mean, it merely started out to be, let's get Fred Bob into the game as a hireable officer, and SWOOSH, it just took off!

Although my forehead is getting mighty flattened from pounding it against my monitor - and my face has these weird little `keyboard-shaped` indentations from waking up after falling asleep "at the wheel" (LOL!)... :cheeky :cheeky :d: :cheers
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> All, I'm dredging up this old post because I wanted to let everyone know I am very near completion of this quest... It will hopefully go into testing sometime in the middle of next week - and depending upon what happens then, it'll be ready either sooner or later - sooner if there are no BIG problems, later if there somehow happens to be a BIG problem that will take some time to fix...

I'm not anticipating any really big problems - just little conflicts that hopefully can be fixed with a line or two of code...

So... This will be happening SOON!

You'll be able to hire Fred Bob into your game as an officer - and run the Estrella/Armand quest... It's a goodie with drama, adventure, and suspense - not to mention FRED BOB!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

I know you'll all have fun with it... I am glad to be finally near finish! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Way to go Catalina! Bet you and Fred Bob are glad to be near the end of it, and I hope the final stages of testing go smoothly for the two of you.
 
Fred Bob did a WONDERFUL job on "translating" his dialog - you all will LOVE IT! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

HAHA, I know... Don't worry, he has to be understood by Nathaniel... Heh... Fred Bob did a GREAT job on the dialog. You'll love it.

Still a little more work to be done, but FB asked me how many new files and how many altered files - and I counted it up:

Ten modified existing files.

THIRTY THREE NEW FILES.

Whew. No wonder I'm tired! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

I learned a lot in the process... Which is good...

Interestingly, I think silence from anyone I might have gotten any tips from helped me more than anything as it forced me to look deeper into what makes this game tick - and figure it out on my own.

It's like the old adage, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and he can feed himself for a lifetime... I wasn't really *taught* (per se) to mod - but picked it up with whatever I've read here - whatever tutorials were provided (thank you for this information, to everyone who freely and thoughtfully provided it!) - and otherwise I've just bulled through the code and figured it out on my own...

LONG process... But rewarding... And I think the best part will be seeing you all having fun with the quest... That was my final goal, to make a mod which would give everyone who played it a good time...
 
Ohhh how loving <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />: speech <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" /> Gracious... And you haven't even been able to play the quest yet! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Thanks... You will have it SOON... Ran into a small snag and I hope I'll be able to make quick work of it... Been staring at the code all day - it works one way but I can't get it to work "properly" - well... I'll get it... Just need to get away from the computer for a bit and it'll come to me... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
