Just a quick update.. I've completed all the conversion of each quest to full use of localization. This will allow the entire mod pack to be translated to other languages.
Anyone interested in helping with this language translation effort, please send me a private message. I'm also working on a few new quests for the pack:
Spirit of Vengeance - Take on a demon Juggernaut and obtain a super-fast vehicle. A player using this vehicle is a sure-sign of their elite status. Big thanks to
Snufkin's Server-Side Zombies &
Snufkins's Server-Side Vehicles for a big part of the base code for the vehicle and zombie. Tested for compatibility with Snufkin's mods, so you can run both at the same time if you want!
Callinicus Greek Fire - Find the book randomly in the world and learn to craft greek fire arrows. Shoot one zombie with a greek fire arrow, and the fire spreads to other entities that it touches.
Amelia's Gyrocopter - I'm still formulating the questline behind this one.. but the general gist will be to quest and ultimately take on a custom zombie in order to learn how to create a super-charged gyrocopter with custom components. Travels faster than the vanilla gyrocopter, with improved flying characteristics that allow it to fly more like a helicopter than a plane. Supports VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing)!
Elite Random - I've created a sealed crate that you can obtain from four veteran cards that gives you a single random elite quest starter. Obtain a veteran card back at the start of your elite quest. If you complete the Elite quest, you obtain an Elite citizen's card!
Gupta's Bandages - I've modified this existing quest to provide custom bandages and first aid kits that are more powerful than the vanilla.
Multiple quests have had the quest text improved. All in-game items now have a description shown. Nearly all quest starter items/recipes specifically list what you will have to do or procure in order to complete the quest. This allows you to pick and choose which quest to pursue based on what you think you could readily complete. There are also countless bug fixes in this release. Too many to list all. All custom weapons have had the attachment mods corrected both in terms of usability, and placement in terms of where the mod attaches to the weapon. I've also renumbered all of the lootcontainers to hopefully shift all of them away from a range that is likely used by other mods. This should help ensure compatibility with other mods that have lootcontainers.
Big thanks to
@mr.devolver for helping me puzzle through some of these changes, the idea to pursue a gyrocopter quest and the elite random quest to create an easier path to the elite set of quests, and for continuing to provide top-notch advice.
In addition, I've changed all elite quests so that they give you a veteran card when you accept the quest and an elite card back upon successful completion. Once you gain elite fame within the community, you retain your fame as long as you continue to see success at your pursuit of community quests.
I'm hoping to release this big update later this week.
HOWEVER, due to the nature of the switch to Localization, this next release
WILL NOT be backwards compatible and will require a new/fresh game. I'm very sorry for this. There simply is no good way for me to create backwards compatibility code with such a large change in code. I have done a full play-through of all the quests, so this next release is a PRE-TESTED release.
This release brings the
number of quests up to 20, not including the different tiers including in most quests.
