Tales of Jack Sparrow work progress

Hey guys,

Just to let the general Build Mod public know I'm currently working on various sidequests that explain more about the tales of Captain Jack Sparrow (current sidequests in standard storyline changed + one completly new one), these sidequests will all be optional as to not make the game drag onto actually getting into familar territory.

All these sidequests will involve a Pirate Lord and show how Jack <i>"owes them all money"</i> but will also explain various things like <i>"impersinating a cleric of the church of England"</i>, <i>why Sao Feng really does dislike Jack Sparrow</i>, <i>"impersinating an officer of the Spainish Royal Navy"</i> and <i>how Jack becomes the pirate lord of the Caribbean</i> plus many more.

At the moment Capitaine Chevalle is done (thanks to Thomas the Terror and Pieter Boelen), Sri Sumbhajee is done with Captain Sao Feng and Ammond the Corsair being my current work in progress.

Cheers guys and let me know what you think <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

EDIT: Change topic name for the name change in Alpha 9.5 Patch 2
 
Awesome!

Just finished Jack's storyline. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" /> Can't wait for more side quests and Dead Man's Chest. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Sidequests are going to be done first as we do not have most of the locations needed for Dead Man's Chest to be achieved yet.

However in saying that we have made some good progress in DMC, Pieter has developed a Kraken attack code which is AWESOME! and I'm also currently joining the end of CotBP with the start of DMC
 
The Kraken Attack code you can already test in Build 14 Alpha 9.5 Patch 1.
There's just no tentacles yet, so for gameplay purposes it works, but it doesn't look so good for now.
Still fun though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I'm planning to try and set up the required locations for DMC and AWE once I'm done with my education in a month or so.
Of course we will need some model and texture work to be done to be able to make both quests properly.
 
Ammond the Corsair's sidequest is now finished (you get to punch him in the face <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />) will be sending it to Pieter later so he can add it for you in the next patch <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
Looking at the code, it seems like this quest is available from the beginning of the game.
Is that intentional or should this one also only appear after you turned pirate?
 
i dont want to burst the bublle, but how do you guys plan to make a mealstrom battle. i'm not so sure that its possible to add a new kind of weather

i mean, it would already be nice to battle the dutchman in a normal storm, but i think the mealstom ads just that last touch to making it a grand finale

Intentionally set so its available from the start of the game, Sao Feng will be when you turn pirate

We could have the battle begin in an ordinary storm and then you have to board the Flying Dutchman.
You are then reloaded to a boarding deck and we might be able to add some walls of water around that.

Another update guys,

Sao Feng's sidequest is nearly in the game (only need to do some dialog and questbook changes).
I would like to thank a number of the Burning Brig guys for letting me use them in this quest <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />, and dont hate them for the role they play in it (I'm sure they wouldnt do it in real life <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />o) )
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />
 
Starting work on Captain Eduardo Villanueva, his sidequest will involve Capitaine Chevalle as well
I'm actually looking forward to doing the finish of this sidequest and I am hoping (if it goes to plan) that you guys will love the ending of it as well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
That's what I'm hoping for too. And I'm looking forward to enabling you to get on with DMC. Soon... very soon... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Good to hear Pieter, I do however still have 2 more sidequests after this one to do, so you do still have time <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
Thank heavens! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
