Hi everyone,

You may or may not be aware but along with the move to UE as our game engine we have also made the move away from IRC as our main chat location.

We now have PlaneShift discord server where all the Devs, GMs, and UE contributors are active daily. To gain access you can follow this invitation link https://discord.gg/f9y6TFjvnf

I look forward to seeing you there.

Venalan.

This topic has been moved to Development Team Blog as I think it is now a better fit here.

What I was thinking won't work.

But I have another idea which will use the active step variables of quest 2 as a way to lock out quest1. So this will work. Once the quests are ready we can load test and release them.

I can try and keep an eye on this topic to answer any questions you have.

I have some comments, for starters all steps in a quest need the same locks or not all options will be visible. So they will need to be split into different steps.

It's better not to have stacked menus and answers in one step, as this can cause problems with progression. I think all cases of that have been removed, especially at the start of quests when giving items over.

It is possible to randomize the quest options by creating a server script which randomly assigns a variable number which determines what the player is asked to do. This would have been my preferred options when starting the skill quests but it was not implemented. We could, it's not hard to do.

Repeatable quests do cause problems with progression. But with skill quests only one quest should be active at a time, meaning only the hardest options available to the player are possible to do. If you have two quests one for skill 0-100 and one 101-200. Then the moment they move from skill level 100 to 101 the first quest is no longer possible to start and they can only do the second. Without this players could be asked to do very simple things and gain very high levels, its a way to try and always make sure effort scales with the level given to the player. A current example in game is the fishing quests.

If, however, you wanted multiple quests to allow multiple ways for people to train a skill. Then you can just extend the time periods allowing the quest to be repeatable.

1 quest = X hours between repeats
2 quests = 2X hours between repeats.... etc

Hi,

Over the last few months there has been progress, but it's very slow and inconsistent. Most recently Talad was working on code to 'set up' all of our characters to work within a UE4 client. I've not seen anything like screen shots for it though.

All of the videos and screen shots I posted earlier in the year were me importing and setting up Hydlaa 3d art, but this flow of images stopped as no new assets (other bits of hydlaa and other cities) were made available to use to load into the UE4 map editor, where the new world should be created.

Since then Eonwind and I who were looking at helping on the UE4 project are concentrating on adding content to the current game which will also be made part of any UE4 game.

Thank you very much for your replies!
Launching the psclient_static with the terminal did the trick! Is it alright if it doesn't go through the update process?

I would very much recommend using the pslaunch program as it will update the client art. Without which you will miss out on many recent additions which will manifest as bugs.

We actually have about 140 books now. I'd love to hit 150 this year if we push for it.

If anyone is tempted to help me I'd appreciate it as i won't get there by myself with other things id like to be working on.

Details will follow on the.
