City of Veksar update

[John Adams]

Ahh, PEQ Editor is no longer being developed? That's too bad, it was one of the more helpful tools. I have what i thought was the latest version from the PEQ site itself. (http://projecteq.net/tools.php#peqe).

I am still confused on how the game could interpret the difference between "a_bloodgill_shaman" from "#a_bloodgill_shaman" and "##a_bloodgill_shaman"? I see in the database, sometimes the NPC name also has this "#" before it.

I am about to source in your entire works so my players can have a nice base to start with before I screw the whole thing up adding PoP+ zones.

Thanks again!

They are still up dating the PEQ editor at
http://peqeditor.cvs.sourceforge.net/peqeditor/ where you can fish for your updates - they just aren't posting newer "compiled" versions.

The game doesn't see any difference between "a_bloodgill_shaman" from "#a_bloodgill_shaman" and "##a_bloodgill_shaman" , but the Perl scripts do - this lets me make them do different things and have the same in-game name. But I just used bloodgill shamans as an example - if you look at Nadox quests, you'll see some examples.
In Veksar, I just used the "#" for editing purposes - but you have to leave them , else the scripts will not work (unless you change script name also).

I think it is John, but you can't just get thier download, you have to do what Angelox said and get the latest files from their CVS located at http://peqeditor.cvs.sourceforge.net/peqeditor/.

Pick the one that says peqeditor.
Look thru the folders and see which files are the newest (usually says file is weeks old instead of months old) and replace yours with those...

Ahh ok thanks for the PEQEditor tips. I'll give that a shot. I am hoping to see an Items editor there soon, tried to add it myself but got a migraine trying to understand the scripts. They are brilliantly coded, I am not so brilliant.

GeorgeS is working on one now. When it's done., I'm sure it will be awesome.

[John Adams]

Cool, I love GeorgeS tools. Do you know if it'll be web-based? I'm leaning towards a lot of remote-admin abilities, so that's why I am using PEQEditor and Emu Manager a lot.

I haven't seen it, but I doubt it will be.. All of his others aren't.
