Fireball works brilliantly! You can even make the fire intensify by just running the same line a couple of times until it's white-hot. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
I have just fixed up the Johan Elting model affairs. In the next update, you'll have:
"Johan_Elting" - Thomas the Terror main character
"Johan_Elting_b" - Thomas the Terror sneaking around version (camouflage mod)
"Johan_Elting_c" - SuperDurnius dark version + armors
 
I have just discovered that it's not necessary to have added models like the DeadGeneral be an actual item.

Thanks Pieter. But, Could you test the camouflage mod for Johan_Elting_b I think it didn't work the last time I used this model <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Thanks for the information I will check that.

Btw: Today, I think I will finish the bomb scene. I'm improving it and it requires some work. I'm optimistic that at the end of this month this second quest will be finished.
 
I just tested in my game and the camouflage mod seems to be doing what it should. Note that you do need to set the model BEFORE a location reload.
Then when you wear it, everybody will want to kill you. But at night, they'll be very late to notice you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Ok, now I understand <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
As an explanation, the relations are set during the location reload and those depend on your character model in this case. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Alrightee. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
Can't see much again due to the lighting on my computer screen. When I'm back home, I'm hoping. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

SuperDurnius sent me the updated textures. Here's the file if you don't have them, Pieter
 
Thanks, Bartolomeu. What about the other two armored versions though? SuperDurnius did upload those previously.
BTW: I managed to look at your movie now; looks good. Too bad about the weird "underwater waves" effect. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

You already have them <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> he just put an anchor in each arm.

How do you like hyjacking parts of already made sidequests? That's what we've been doing for the Jack Sparrow storyline now.
The reason I ask is because I was wondering if you could include the original Hitman quest as part of the Assassin storyline too;
might fit in and it'd extend the quest without requiring much work. But it's just a random though; it's up to you to decide. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

It is really little work <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> since the last patch I have added 5 more sidequests and 4 of them are in completly different locations from the original, the dialogs are really different and also quest books. I've also test them multiple times and they aren't short sidequests either. I have redone the "Strange Things in the Caribbean" sidequest which takes a long time to just play through it.
 
Hitman in the Assassin Main quest ? I need to think a bit.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Otherwise, maybe I misunderstood your explanation because I put the following line :

Locations[FindLocation("Quest_FDF_CenterB")].items.randitem1 = "DeadGeneral";

and I removed DeadGeneral from initItems.c but it doesn't appear in the quest location (Quest_FDF_CenterB) even after a reload.

btw: If you were thinking of releasing your patch this week-end, can you delay it for a week because the second quest will be over next Wednesday.

First, thanks for the DeadGeneral <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Otherwise, I think I can include the Hitman quest, but a modified one. The vice-Admiral knew that Mateus Santos, a former Spanish mercenary, works for the English authorities from time to time when they need to kill some important Spanish officials. The Vice-Admiral wants you kill him.

He doesn't know where he lives seeing he regularly changes of town. However, at Tortuga there is a pirate working as recruiter for Santos. So you go there and talk to that guy in order to meet Santos and work for him. Accompanied by the pirate, you meet Santos in his house at Port Royal. To gain his confidence, you agree to accomplish his missions until you have the opportunity to kill him at the end. Quest over - go back to the Vice-Admiral.

btw : For SuperDurnius here's the list.
 
Sounds pretty good to me. Indeed it would need to be modified; that's what we did for Jack Sparrow too. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
Nice job on that summary list too, by the way. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
