A Vist to Fennvale - Update
« on: February 26, 2011, 10:05:26 pm »


               Well...

Since I'm on the threshhold of the final release, I thought I'd mention some of the major changes coming to the mod.

1) The module has been changed from multiplayer to single player.  There's a crucial point where several players acting in a given area will cause the script to break down and produce all kinds of unexpected results.  It doesn't happen in SP, so SP it is.

2) Fennvale is NOT a hack-and-slashers mod!  NPCs talk.  A LOT.  The total word count for this mod is 448,894 words.  So far.  HnS folks will twitch and eventually explode if they try to play this mod.  Seriously.  You will hate it.  Stay away. 

3) Fennvale is still non-CEP because, believe it or not, I still don't know which version of CEP is current or how to add it in.  I know, I know - what rock am I living under?  Well, I've been literally keeping my nose to the KB for ages now while scripting and I've missed an awful lot of what's been going on in the community lately.  Heck, I didn't even know about this new forum until I came across a link on the Legacy boards that pointed to it...':huh:'

4) Point number two may change if I actually get around to looking at the CEP.  If so, I'll be certain to let it be known.

5) I will soon be removing the beta (like right-after-I-post-this soon) from the Legacy vault because I don't want it around once the newest version is out.  And I'm putting together a web page soon, but I'm still waiting for some art from a friend and I have a lot of writing to do for the exhaustive walkthrough.

6) The reason for the looooong delay is because I am the sole area creator, scripter, conversation writer, bug-tester, whatever else doer.  This is why I'm so grateful for all the feedback I've gotten over time because it's helped me to pinpoint things rather quickly...or, rather, relatively quickly...

7) if you've actually read this far, I thank you for your support and I hope this mod will hold up to your expectations as a player.

               No current link available, sorry.
The author is still "working" on it... 'sounds like another complicated one...
which means nothing but... very promissing! ':wizard:'

Hail, Zejan the Wonder Monkey!

 A Visit To Fennvale - Final Beta Version '<img'>


Thanks, but...it's not there anymore.  Took it down, don't want people to d/l it by mistake.

I'm heading over to a freind's house after these brownies are baked, he's the one doing art for me.  I'll discuss the web page and setting up of artwork for same with him.  He wants to actually run through the module to get some ideas for drawings, so I'll be subjecting him to a recent copy. 

The last bug run - which I did on Feb. 25th - showed much promise, but there's some loose ends as far as side quests go that need to be looked at.  And I need to take a break, because I've reached a saturation point where I'm just staring at the code and not doing much of anything...  ':blink:' ':crying:'':huh:'

Actually...

I have a bottle of Barton's Gold Rum that I plan to toast the completion of the mod with when I'm satisfied it's ready to be posted.  And after all this @#$@%#&*@  I've been through trying to get things running snoothly, I'll need to hit that bottle... ':crying:'

Brownies are in trade for his fiancee's yummy, freshly-baked rolls.  Melted butter and a dollop of grape jelly...yum.  '<img'>

My father.
I wish...
The father of my kids?
I hope!
Working on it.

About the toast, save the brownies for olivier. I'll take care of the rum.
(Take your time, there is nothing worse than playing an unfinshed module. I may have a good 30 years ahead of me, so, that should be more than enough. '<img'>:?)

Thanks!  '<img'>

If I can get some uninterrupted time, I'll finish my bug run tomorrow afternoon, hopefully.  I'm on layoff from work, so it helps me to pass the time.  Gah, I can hardly wait to finish this...!

It has been many, many years, admittedly.  ':unsure:'

Without getting a case of the blah-blah, allow me to say that I have been stubbornly and with great determination hammering away on this thing, and trust me when I say I'm fairly certain you'll enjoy your next visit to Fennvale.
