Writing and scripting in Journal entries, troubleshooting troublesome bugs I left until later, adding details to environments, cleaning up conversation typos... My head hurts. My suggestion to everyone: Make sure you implement journal entries as you go - ESPECIALLY if you have multiple quest options and resolutions. My head hurts.

The nice thing is that you receive the updates in the order you unlock them, so it doesn't really matter what order you code the updates in, the player won't know the difference. It'd be really nice if there were a slightly more intuitive UI system for the journals, though. Also, I'm pretty sure the journal timestamps are hardcoded and I'm wondering if there's someway to alter that. Last edited by Baardvark; 25/02/15 02:46 AM. Bard Mod for D:OS2

Could you specify which scripts exactly? I haven't seen anything and I've been through the scripts a few times. https://kamesama.github.io/dos2-team-builder/

INIT section of AAA_Firstgoal. It's on my list of things to monkey around with later. If you are able to get anything out of it let me know :P Code // Time(_Day,_Hour,_TotalHours) // Current time (updated last time event NewHour was generated) // _TotalHours = (_Day - 1)*24 + _Hour // _TotalHours is suitable for calculating time differences //SetTime(ENGINE_GAME,10); TODO Time(1,10,10); // CurrentHalfHour and total HalfHours HalfHour(20,20); //TODO: for now we use these timers to simulate time passing. This should come from the game engine if we're going to support different time of day settings GameHour(300000); StartTimeOfDayTimerLoop(); There's more in the KB section. May have nothing to do at all with the journal times but I'm sure it does something. Last edited by SniperHF; 26/02/15 03:45 AM.
