Jackkel dragon: early WIP

[[Endless_Adventures_Main_Page|Endless Adventures Main Page]]

(This page is a WIP, do not edit it until the initial draft is complete.)

==Silverhold History==

Many abandoned Tevinter outposts lie in the shadow of the Vimmark mountains, the most infamous being the City of Chains, Kirkwall. The mere mention of the city's name brings up images of the brutality and malice of the magisters. Outposts such as these were the backbone of the Tevinter slave trade, and some whisper that the slave trade never truely ended.

One such outpost lies on the northern side of the Vimmarks, west of Kirkwall. The Marchers know Silverhold as it is today: a small fortress surrounded by poor farmland that can barely sustain itself, a city that only exists because of the silverite mines in the nearby hills. But this is only part of the story. Each step in the path of the slaves and their masters has a terrible tale to tell.

The area surrounding Silverhold is known as Sorrowmarch Moor, a name commonly associated with the poor farmland around the city-state. However, this name originated from the elven slaves who managed to escape their Tevinter masters, who would watch their friends and family forced to march on without them over the sparse land. The few remaining legends of this time maintain that many of the elven slaves were eventually recaptured, and only a fortunate few managed to escape and tell of the "sorrowful march" of their families.

Silverhold itself was merely a step along the road to Kirkwall, and was a nameless outpost to the Tevinter slavers. To the elven slaves, it became known as (translated to the trade tongue) the "Dread Wolf's Fangs". From here, there were only three places to which an elven slave would travel: Kirkwall, the Shrieking Forest, or the Firepeak.

To this day, the Shrieking Forest is known to be haunted by demons and spirits from beyond our waking world. A scholar from Tantervale once suggested to me that the Veil that separated our world from the Fade was torn ages ago by Tevinter's blood magic and their executions of escaped slaves as "examples" to the others. These examples would be sent into the forest with a weapon of their choice and, as the stories say, were told they would be free if they could escape a demon. If the legends are true, the shrieks of the slave as could be heard all across Sorrowmarch Moor.

Those slaves that avoided being thrown to the demons of the Shrieking Forest but had become a nuisance to their masters were fated to suffer even worse than the fugitives on the moor. If a slave became a liability or tried to rebel against the Tevinter slavers in Silverhold itself, they would be dragged to Firepeak. This mountain is known today for its silverite mines and the shadow it casts on Silverhold Keep, but its name came from a much more sinister purpose. The legend varies by the storyteller on how the slaves were tortured on Firepeak, but today the most popular tale is of the Firepeak Dragons. The caves leading deep into Firepeak were home to a family of dragons that had killed any who tried to pass through the Vimmarks on this path, so the Tevinters would feed the dragons rebellious or useless slaves to distract them long enough to pass. This story became popular after the Nevarran dragon hunt, when a scion of the Pentaghast family claimed to have slain the dragons of Firepeak and discovered the silverite veins that would eventually give birth to Silverhold.

- Autolevel status can be set (default off)
- Followers can be set to any starting state (default Available) and will still be properly initalised and added to the party pool
- Autolevel tables for non-core followers can be explicitly set.
- Class and Specialisation can be chosen via script

Endless Adventures EAC Tutorials

2011-06-14T19:35:59Z

Jackkel dragon:

[[Endless_Adventures_Main_Page|Endless Adventures Main Page]]

==Before You Begin Your Addin...==

If you've already completed this step (either for an EAP or EAC), you don't need to worry about this tutorial.

Before you can begin creating an Endless Adventures Addin, you have to have a "fake" module to attach your addin to so that your module extends the base campaign. This tutorial walks through the basic steps required for this process.

* Open up the toolset and select File->Manage Modules.
* Create a new module. In the UID row, enter "endlessadv_da1" (minus the quotes.)
* Create your module. Aside from making sure your module is compatible, the only value you need to make sure to set is the "Extended Module" value, which should be set to the Endless Adventures base module (created in step 2.)
* Open your module from the module manager and begin creating your addin.

If you don't set your module to extend the base module, it won't properly attach to the campaign.

===Finding Coordinates for the PRCSCR===

In order to make sure you place your hook character in the correct place in the hub, you'll need to have a testing area (that isn't exported or packaged in the player file) to find the coordinates.
* Copy the "cas_100" folder from the "endlessadv_da1" base campaign (in the addins/endlessadv_da1/core/env/ folder) into your addin's core/env folder.
* If the toolset is open, close it and restart the toolset. When you create the test area, cas_100" should be available as an area layout.
You want to find an unoccupied place (check all of the compatability guides to figure out which places are taken) and place your character or a waypoint on the spot you want to use. Once you are pleased with the coordinates and orientation, copy them down for use in the PRCSCR script.

==Script Templates==

===PRCSCR===

[[PRCSCR_Script_Templates#Adding_a_NPC_into_an_existing_Area| PRCSCR: Adding a NPC to an existing area.]]

The linked tutorial has the basic PRCSCR used for adding new characters to the hub area.
* The hub area's tag/resref is "ea_hub_main".

===Endless Adventures Hire Script===

(Based on the [[Follower_tutorial]].)

To create the hiring script, you'll actually need ''two'' scripts. One is an include file to hold the basic functions that make the hire script work, and another script to actually run the hiring.

You'll want to first create a script called "ea_companion_h", and make sure it has the following code. (This is mostly the same as the linked tutorial, but some changes were made "under the hood" to add or remove certain features.)
*Note: If this script doesn't have the same code as the base Endless Adventures module, you may override the functionality of the script and cause companions from other modders to work incorrectly when your mod is installed. Make sure to make any changes to companion scripting in your personal scripts rather than this one.

[[Endless_Adventures_Companion_Hire_Include|Link to "ea_companion_h" code]]. (Moved due to size.)

After you have copied and saved this script (it won't compile properly because it's an include script), you want to create your hire script (whether you will call it as-is or part of a plot flag script.) The standalone script should look like this:

<dascript>#include "ea_companion_h"
void main()
{
object oFollower = GetObjectByTag("eac_duncan"); //Pass your follower object, mandatory

int nClass = CLASS_ROGUE; //Pass a Class constant here, usually CLASS_ROGUE, CLASS_WARRIOR, CLASS_WIZARD. Mandatory due to a bug.

int nForceSpec = 0; //This is the ID of the Specialisation you want. Note they are NOT classes, but abilities. The full list is:
//ABILITY_SPELL_HIDDEN_ARCANE_WARRIOR, ABILITY_SPELL_HIDDEN_BLOODMAGE, ABILITY_SPELL_HIDDEN_SHAPESHIFTER, ABILITY_SPELL_HIDDEN_SPIRIT_HEALER
//ABILITY_SPELL_HIDDEN_BARD, ABILITY_TALENT_HIDDEN_ASSASSIN, ABILITY_TALENT_HIDDEN_DUELIST, ABILITY_TALENT_HIDDEN_RANGER
//ABILITY_TALENT_HIDDEN_BERSERKER, ABILITY_TALENT_HIDDEN_CHAMPION, ABILITY_TALENT_HIDDEN_REAVER, ABILITY_TALENT_HIDDEN_TEMPLAR

int nALTable = 0; //This is the ID of an ALTable from 2DA_base.GDA or your module's m2DA_base_*.GDA I recommended the latter, but you can edit that into GetCustomFollowerALTable below rather than passing it.

int nAutolevel = 0; //Sets the Autolevel flag on the character sheet. 0 is off, 1 is on, 2 forces it on and removes it so the player can't turn it off.

int bFreeSpecPoint = TRUE; //This grants a specialisation point to the follower if they do not have a specialisation.
//It's important to set this false for classes that do not have specs, such as CLASS_DOG.

int nTargetLevel = 0; //If you want a specific level, set this. Generally not worthwhile unless you set it higher than the player, since they'll just get XP from the party picker anyway.

int nMinLevel = 0; //Set this if there's a specific level you don't want the follower to go below. Probably only useful if the PC might be very low level but not necessarily so.

// Run the hire script.
EA_HireFollower(oFollower, nClass, nForceSpec, nALTable, nAutolevel, bFreeSpecPoint, nTargetLevel, nMinLevel);
// Set a plot flag (optional)
// The first field is the tag of the plot file.
// The second field is the flag ID.
// The third field is TRUE (1) or FALSE (0).
WR_SetPlotFlag("eac_duncan_plot", 0, 1);
}</dascript>

==The Darkest Larder==
Created by Jackkel Dragon

''The darkspawn don't get out much. Five times they tried to leave the Deep Roads to get some real food and sunlight, but the Blight they brought killed all the food and blocked out the sun. Worse, a bunch of creeps drink their blood and hold it over them until they go back underground. So when a few cheese-loving darkspawn sneak topside in search of food, something bad was bound to happen.''

A very short demo module used to test the basic concepts of the Endless Adventures Package system. It also grants some free health potions from the defeated enemies to bolster new characters without costing too much money.

This module includes:
* Two (or three) darkspawn to fight.
* An unexplained backstory.
* Free healing items.
* A lame final reward.

[[Endless_Adventures_Main_Page|Endless Adventures Main Page]]

Besides allowing the creation of dwarf mages, Endless Adventures has three new background options. All of these are for flavor purposes only: none will offer gameplay benefits unless a specific EAP references them.

=New Backgrounds=

==Mercenary==

"You go by many names. Treasure-hunter, sellsword, soldier of fortune; they all are true... to an extent. Whatever you really fight for, people know you expect a reward."

Title ("Surname"): Sellsword

==Outlaw==

"Whether through your own fault or another's, you no longer are welcome where you once lived. You might be a wanted criminal, wrongfully accused, or an outcast. Whatever you were, you can't go back."

Title ("Surname"): Wolf-head

==Chantry==

"The Chantry is on the rise; or at least that's what you are told. Whether you hunt mages as a Templar, seek out heretics as a member of the Inquisition, or try to spread the Chantry's teachings through heroism, the Maker is on your side."

Title ("Surname"): Chanter

==Modder Information: Checking for a Background==

To check for one of these backgrounds, you must either create a custom conditional script or use a plot script and defined flags. An example of the proper script:

<dascript>
int StartingConditional()
{
if (nBackground == 6)
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
}</dascript>

An example of a single flag in the defined flag section of a plot script:

<dascript>
case BACKGROUND_MERCENARY:
{
if (nBackground == 6)
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
break;
}</dascript>

The number to check for is based on the background you wish to return:
* Mercenary: 6
* Outlaw: 7
* Chantry: 8

="The Darkest Larder", by Jackkel Dragon=

==The Darkspawn Intruders==

Fate has not been kind to the darkspawn. Whenever they come to the surface, they are always sent back to the Deep Roads after a long and bloody war. So when three cheese-loving darkspawn decided to sneak topside for a bite to eat, they were bound to run into trouble.

The Emissary Feaster is a fickle creature, often going on long raids into the surrounding lands to find anything edible. While not quite the cheese-lover like his companions, he will gladly eat anything that isn't a deepstalker or spider.

The Hurlock Smuggler loves cheese. He loves it so much that he hoards it, hiding it under floor panels, in barrels, even going as far as to bury cheese if he thinks he might get caught. When someone gets too close to his cheese, he wields two incredibly long cheese knives to horrific effect.

The Genlock Snacker likes cheese, especially when he's not in the middle of something else. His hobbies include shield-bashing random passerby to death, then sitting down to a one-sided conversation with the poor victim. It pleased him to find that the larder that the Emissary Feaster had found happened to have a servant that often visited the larder to prepare cheese orders, but he finds the servant's conversation lacking.

[[File:Community_Contest_back.jpg|link=Community_Contest_Main_Page]] [[File:CC_BSN_GetInvolved.jpg|link=http://social.bioware.com/group/2535/&v=discussions]]

== Brief ==

Create a character with dialogue for use in a variety of situations including follower, questgiver and merchant. The character will have various removable lines so that modders may use them for whatever purpose they need. The contest discussion thread can be found [http://social.bioware.com/group/2535/discussion/10580/ here].

A [[Community_Contest_3_mini:_Head_Morph|raffled mini contest]] is also running, requiring only a character head morph. We'd love if you entered both!

'''DEADLINE: Monday 18 October''' - your entry must be ready for judging before midday GMT+0. It is strongly recommended you submit well before this time in case you run into troubles. Modifications to your submission are welcomed - the newest version of your entry will be judged, although modifications made after the submission date will not be judged.

=== Requirements ===
All entries must:
* Reserve and use a [[Community_Contest_ID_Ranges|StringID range]] '''(do this before you start)'''
* Be tested in-game
* Be in English (non-native accents are very welcome, perhaps give your character an exotic background?)
* Include MRH source material and dadbdata export of all relevant resources
* Use only
** DA assets (hairs, textures)
** (optional) hairs from [http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=392 More Hairstyles] (the agreed mod)
** (optional) hairs/textures which are '''your own work''' and are '''included with your submission'''
* be suitable as a follower, questgiver and merchant
* Include branches for the compulsory dialogues (see below)
* complete the overview section with their entry (see below)
* Be submitted before Monday 18 October midday (GMT+0)

=== Guidelines ===
Strong entries will:
* Be interesting characters with compelling dialogue
* Have voiceover with lipsynch (this is optional, but will be looked upon favourably if done well)
* Have quality voice acting, with attention paid to audio quality
* Tweak FaceFX to give natural and emotive expressions
* Set and check plot flags and approval where appropriate
* Include dialogues to use the character in many situations (see suggestions below). The more versatile the character, the better.
* Be usable in DA canon, or be canon inspecific, to allow them to be used in any module.

=== Allowable ===
Entries may:
* Include custom textures/hairs (please only '''your own''' work though)
* Include more than one character if they are relevant to one another as one submission (ex. brother/sister to be met together)
* Multiple entries are always allowed unless stated otherwise
* An entry may contain collaborative work (one person voices, the other person creates the character, for example)

In the case of [http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=392 More Hairstyles], please only state it as a requirement and do not include any of the files. You do not need permission (just don't share the files)... it is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure they have the More Hairstyles mod.

=== Disallowable ===
* For this contest, please '''do not use other peoples mods''' except [http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=392 More Hairstyles] and anything which is '''your own''' work and is included.

== Groups and Prizes ==

=== Groups ===
This contest has only one group.

* 1st place - 15 points, chooses first
* 2nd place - 10 points, chooses second
* 3rd place - 5 points, chooses third
* Best Newcomer - 3 points (unless 1st, 2nd or 3rd place)
* All other entries meeting requirements - 1 point

To receive an "entry point", your submission must meet the requirements of the contest, listed at the top of this page

=== Best Newcomer Award ===

== Ratha by Jackkel Dragon and DahliaLynn ==

* '''[http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1819 Dragon Age Nexus Page]'''

=== Overview ===
* Primary Role: Worker - Quartermaster and Archer (for Avvar clan)
* Class: Warrior (Archer)
* Race: Human (Avvaran Hillswoman)
* Voiced: Yes
* Quest: Errand - Find amulet

=== Description ===
Ratha is an Avvaran hillswoman whose husband has been lost in a raid on the "lowlanders." She might join the PC to find her husband, or ask the PC to find his amulet. She may also be a merchant, but not both a merchant and a follower.

No matter how hard the PC tries, her husband is dead when found. His amulet can be given to her to complete her quest.

Ratha is voiced by DahliaLynn.

Notes:
* Ratha's quest goal is triggered by a plot flag, not an item. The plot flag will give the PC the item.
* Ratha's companion flag functions should be configured by the modder before she is used as a companion, as she cannot gain XP or use the party picker.
* Ratha could benifit from extra lines as a follower, based on the module's plot.
* Ratha's approval hardly does anything in this package, the modder should create scenes in the module that allow change in opinion and create new plot flags for approval (included flags are for debug purposes.)
* Ratha should be equipped with proper gear in the toolset before being used as a companion.
* Ratha's Follower flag must be set before meeting her to work. Merchant flag may be set at any time, but will only work if she is not a follower.

Points Note:
* 1st: 8 Jackkel / 7 DahliaLynn (total 15)
* 2nd: 5 Jackkel / 5 DahliaLynn (total 10)
* 3rd: 2 Jackkel / 3 DahliaLynn (total 5)
* Entry: 1 Jackkel / 1 DahliaLynn
