Mikka Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I don't think me using a different modtool then they used will have effects on the new students; they worked off of my writing more then they worked off my coding, I imagine (was the mod file lost too when my doc file was lost?- they might not even have my coding at all). All in all, adding new students is pretty simple work, from what I experimented with: it's not really any more complicated then, say, adding new items, and even with new items you have to find someplace to put them in the game and edit something (IE, add 'you get beekeeper mask +1' at Zoology 7 to the Zoology skill, or add it to a certain vendor). New students is more like adding new background then anything, because the students themselves don't really touch anything that's already there. They're completely self-contained. So it's not really difficult or crash worthy or anything. What it is is time consuming. Making sure every adventure step links up, coding every piece of their standard routines... it's boring work, it's easy to make mistakes on (choosing increase instead of expand by accident, or forgetting to set a difficulty roll, or forgetting to hook an adventure up- all bugs we've ran in to since the game came out), and it takes a while to test every little dialog path in every event and adventure to make sure it's set to run correctly (add in that you'll only see an event, for instance, once a game), so you can never be positive it's all working. On something that fiddley, there's almost guarenteed to be bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Either way it is kind of awesome that the team is up for adding even new students to the game, and awesome of Mikka to have spent enough time on it in the begining. We are quite fortunate, I think, even if it is delaying a bit I'm hoping to play it soon. Also, happy (even more delayed) birthday ThatCrazyChick (or is it YouCrazyChick? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm hoping too. I'm sure Pebbles will be quite.... hard on some people looking for peace and quiet, eh heh heh. Perhaps we can even say that they will be between a rock and a hard place, nya nya nya!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Looks like we get some nice additions to the background. Maybe I go with the rock as familiar in my first DLC 16 game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Did the team manage to test if the bug that Chimney Crows Second Adventure don't start when you finish the first Adventure after Nivelos 1 is fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Schwarzbart; They haven't tested it yet, but I believe it will be fixed in DLC16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hopeful you can report to us tomorrow that the testing was without problems and you can finish the DLC 16 so we can get it in the next 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzbart Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hopeful the Legate get the OK for publish the Mod today . I don't think that any DLC before was awaited so eagerly by the community then the 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legate of Mineta Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Sorry folks, the news is that we've run into a snag in publishing, and for one Adventure in testing. I'll keep you posted, but the earliest is likely this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoInsane Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Can we know what Adventure is causing the hold up? I'll want to keep an eye on it next file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 II; It's one of Metis' extremely awesome Adventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoInsane Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Of course it is. Honestly, I really dislike the characters and am pretty annoyed with all the delays its causing. When no one could contact Metis,I thought that after that it should have been it, tough luck and move on. Is there still no chance of a release without them?

Legate of Mineta Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 II; You are thinking of Mikka, not Metis. Mikka has been in contact, and her adventures aren't causing any delays. Regardless, I don't think the Team will release until the issues have been worked through. Soon, though, not to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 That doesn't come as a surprise, given that due to the bugged modding tools I didn't do any of the coding for the adventure, I just type out all the text. If I did do everything I could, what I could, in the mod tools than I imagine testing it would have gone like "That's the third time this option devoid of any and all text, which I think is the investigation check, didn't unlock anything. Is it broken or did I just fail a v15 three times in a row? Or have I been picking the v20 roll all this time? Eh, it probably works well enough.". Not exactly first-class bugtesting, that. That said having DLC16 be delayed, if only by a week, by an adventure that I wrote? Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Proud, definitely. Plus, as you noted, it wasn't your mistake in the entry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Eh, what's another week to wait, after all those months? If it means more content to coast us over to the mythical Year 2, I'm all for it. That said, I'll have to pay special attention to that adventure, to make sure it was worth the delay *pulls out grades sheet*. Soon, though, not to worry. I hope it's not the trademarked Academagia Soon? I'm not that young anymore, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Soon It's all trademarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 That said, I'll have to pay special attention to that adventure, to make sure it was worth the delay *pulls out grades sheet*. If more than one of the three complete Y1 adventures I typed made it in, how will you know which one to check? I can see all three causing trouble at one point or another, so, eh, I got nothing.

Mikka Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hey, I sent my students in on Febuary 18th, 2013. Don't blame me that they lost them; I didn't have anything to do with that. It's hard to believe it's been over a year since then. I'm really kind of excited, actually. And, eh, adventures are always causing trouble. I wouldn't worry about it. For me, as I said, I've been waiting for this for a year and a month: what's one more week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
