Hi everyone! Ivan's here.
With this new patch I am introducing the scriptable quests, a new api which let's modders script their own custom quests type to be played in game, along with the base quest types already present in the game. So lets start with the awesome change list:
- Scriptable quests Now you can extend the BaseQuest class with your own custom quest class scripts and use them in the game, by placing the c# class in the Scripts folder under a mod. I will, in the next few days, add a tutorial on the official wiki so things will hopefully get a little clearer on how to implement this. As always just get in touch with me if you want to know something more or discuss the topic! I am looking for brave modders to wreck the game!
- Scriptable quests example mod I have released a new minimod on Hard Times official mods repository on https://hardtimes.mod.io/. The new mod adds a new custom quest class script which implements a new silly quest type to be used in game. The quest is then attached to a new Npc and used in game via the json descriptors as you would do with a legacy quest. The mod can be downloaded here: https://hardtimes.mod.io/scriptable-quests-example
- Updated the credits Just a little update to the credits section.
That's all for now. If you are experimenting with the new scripts features let me know and I will do my best to help and explain all that is needed to create awesome mods in Hard Times.
I will add new tutorials along the way, in the official Hard Times wiki, but i am doing it a bit slowly, so don't hesitate to ping me to get infos on things that may be unclear about the modding engine.
Thanks again to all of you this month I did the first donation to L'Alternativa Onlus. I am donating 100% of the revenues of the game, keeping nothing for me, until the new year.
So every game purchase made until 31 dec 2019 will go 100% to charity, less steams revenues and bank transfers expenses.
After that date we will see how to proceed further...
So Happy Hard Times to everybody and see you next patch! \m/
