WIP Geralt of Rivia

[Grey Roger]

Due to having to incorporate this with other work, it's actually easier for me to edit the loading screen than to put back the versions with "traveling"! So the corrected version is attached, and here's a preview jpg:


According to that article, the shortened version "traveling", and other words shortened in US English, were created by Noah Webster in 1898 when he took it upon himself to simplify British spellings. Any time before that, "travelling" is correct. You chose to set Geralt in 1754, which means he probably uses "travelling".

Thanks, @Grey Roger!!!

I am fine with it anyway, as long as the title has the same spelling.

Any time before that, "travelling" is correct. You chose to set Geralt in 1754, which means he probably uses "travelling".

That is, actually a very good way of thinking this!

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

I have fixed the slightly cut W and d on the loading screen.



Please, use this file @Grey Roger.

 

[Grey Roger]

Got it - thanks!

Also, I'm inclined to comment out or remove Geralt's entry in "StartStoryline.c", so he won't get his special sword from there. Instead, he'll get it from "characters_init.c":

       case PLAYER_TYPE_ADVENTURER:
           if(CharFirstName == "Geralt of Rivia")
           {
               ch.shiplog.Title.log0 = "Travelling Worlds";
               ch.shiplog.Entry.log0 = "Ciri and I were on the hunt for a 'dragon' that had killed five villagers. However we knew that our employer was most probably mistaken and that the monster was probably a Wyvern or something similar. When we went to investigate, we were surprised, although no dragon, the beast was still very dangerous, it was a Manticore, one of the most dangerous beasts the world has to offer. I had killed one of them in the past, but this time something was troubling me and i made a mistake. Ciri quickly grabbed me and teleported us to a different world, saving my life. But we were separated once more."
               if(ENABLE_WEAPONSMOD)   GiveItem2Character(ch, "witcher_steel+2");
               else           GiveItem2Character(ch, "witcher_steel");
           }
           else
           {
               if(ENABLE_WEAPONSMOD)   GiveItem2Character(ch, "bladeC2+2");
               else           GiveItem2Character(ch, "bladeC2");
           }
           GiveItem2Character(ch, "pistol5");
       break;

That should prevent him from getting the free back-blade sword as well, though he'll still get the free horse pistol. It also means he should get the proper sword if you play him in "Tales of a Sea Hawk", not just in FreePlay.

Thanks, @Grey Roger!!!

I thought i about this, but i forgot to add it in the code.

 

[Grey Roger]

Geralt appears to be Greek, judging by his new Personal flag.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Well, since Geralt doesn't have a real world nationality, i just set the pirate and personal flag i usually use as default.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

For those who don't know what is a Witcher, here is a video explaining the basics.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Has anyone added a completely new character model to the game?
(Not based on a model made for storm engine)

 

[Grey Roger]

Yes, @DeathDaisy added the Ciri character which is not based on any Storm model. But she has not been active on the forum for some time.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Well she has used the body of a storm model, only the head/hair is non-storm.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Yes, @DeathDaisy added the Ciri character which is not based on any Storm model. But she has not been active on the forum for some time.

@The Nameless Pirate, you could still try to send her a PM.
Sometimes people who don't visit the forum anymore do still respond to those.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Maybe, i will do that when i retry this.

Thanks for the suggestion, @Pieter Boelen!!!

 

[konradk]

What's going on here?
We'll have to change the game's name to Wiedźmin i piraci/Ведьмак и корсары/The Witcher and Pirates.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Geralt is going to get a silver sword!



If anyone knows which sword this is feel free to post about it, but please put it in a spoiler.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Did Ciri steal the sword!?



Now I will make it so that it will be on your back when it's sheathed, just like Geralt's steel sword is; thanks to @Jack Rackham.

 

[Jack Rackham]

Yes that's the only ones I make, the bouncing ones.
So if you'll need any help...

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

If I will need help I'll let you know, thank you.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Very cool!
Both the addition by @The Nameless Pirate, but also the cooperation with @Jack Rackham.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

The back model is almost ready, but I will need to scale down the sword a bit, I fired up the Witcher 3, and it's a bit smaller.

And after that I should add it on the code and make the interface pictures.
