Legends of Idaamub

[lhybrideur]

Thank you very much for the replays. I will try to watch them asap and get back to you.

I see you are using the item system, one way of combating this might be to create an item in the boots category which could grant extra movement

I had the same thing in mind. Maybe a mace giving +1 extra movement or smth like that. It would be really easy to do. I however need to think about in which scenario(s) to drop it.

Other possibilities could be that the orc is a criminal or something similar (why he was caged in the first place and so while he doesn't join you, he also doesn't join the enemy, instead attacking you both).

That's a really good idea. There is no reason for the caged unit to be friendly with those who caged it.

So in general theres a few grammatical errors (plurals, tenses, indefinite vs definite article) however these aren't major issues and most users will just skip past and autocorrect them anyway.

My bad. English is not my native language. If you could provide me a list of some mistakes I would be glad to correct them. I will pass the whole campaign through spell check in the meantime to see if I can correct some on my side.

Spoiler:

We meet Lujeje and she tells us what she's doing there but it all kind feels forced, like theres no backstory whatsoever, she's just like I'm down here translating necromancy books for orc. Ummmm why? Also, why are orcs interested in necromancy?

Concerning Lujeje, asking her a few questions on how and why would actually be pretty logical XD. I will implement that.
Concerning the orcs being interested in necromancy, this will be explained later.

Concerning last scenario, there is much more dialog in it in the "Chapter 2" version.

Don't worry, I found you post very useful.

[lhybrideur]

I just watched the replay.
Concerning scenario 2, I think the problem is that instead of fighting 3 vs 1 at 16,11, you fight 1 vs 1 which is a slow way to kill an enemy.
Concerning scenario 5, you forgot to equip Lujeje with items at turn 1. Not that you were in a rush, but that would have help her level up. I think it is not clear that you can do that, so I will add a message about it.

Don't worry about it, as I said, its not a big problem. Give me an hour or so and I'll see what I can spot.
With regards to spell check, depending on what you are using, it is great for spelling but usually sucks for grammar

EDIT 1:
The item descriptions and text in books repeats itself

EDIT 2:
Grammar and spelling

Spoiler:

S1
Io: Gu! You are wounded! What is happening? —> Gu! You are wounded! What happened?
So in your version wounded is in past tense while happening is in the present tense. As you are discussing an event in the past, happening needs to change to happened.
Gu: We have been friends for a long time but… you can’t do anything for the poor Gu anymore —> We have been friends for a long time but… you can’t do anything for the poor Gu anymore.
Don't use articles with pronouns. In this case the article is the and the pronoun is Gu. If you would like more information about this stuff then the following website may be helpful: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/articles/
You could also consider changing it to
We have been friends for a long time... but you can’t do anything for poor Gu anymore.
The word but is a conjunction and is used to join two different ideas. So it needs to be linked to the contrasting idea, namely that you can't do anything to save Gu. However, if Gu is dying and those ellipses are meant to indicate breathing then you can put that wherever you like and nothing needs to change . Although I would consider adding in a "(breathes deeply)" or "(gasps)" into the sentence. For example "We have been friends (gasps) for a long time (gasps) but you can’t do anything (gasps) for poor Gu now." You might need to add some "(gasps)" to the dialogue that follows though or else people might wonder why he's suddenly breathing easily again
Introductory Notes: ...will be always recalled automatically --> ...will always be recalled automatically
first way had three different tenses, second way has only one (although I can't remember what its called)
Introductory Notes:..If you get stuck at the beginning of a scenario, it might then be that you ended the previous one with too few gold --> ...If you get stuck at the beginning of a scenario, then it might then be that you ended the previous one with too few little gold. Not too sure about changing "few" to "little but to my ears it sounds better
Introductory Notes:..You will be able to sell the objects you have gather in shop in exchange of gold... --> ...You will be able to sell the objects you have gathered in the shop in exchange for gold... Just fixing tenses and clarifying meaning

S2
Dialogue triggered upon moving onto village: Anyway, I found a book upstairs. Maybe it countains informations --> Anyway, I found a book upstairs. Maybe it contains information. Spelling and plural changed respectively.
Izu:...but there was a welcoming comitee in there. --> ...but there was a welcoming committee in there. Spelling
Izu:... remaining down there, you can find everything you'll find down there. Consider changing "down" to "up" as the cave is located above the village
Izu:... you might have trouble going to Zei ---> you might have trouble getting to Zei.
Izu:Take care of yourself and don't worry for me. I have enough food in my cave to hold ---> ...don't worry about me. I have enough food in my cave to hold (out until they leave).

S4
Io: I hope noone... -->I hope no one...
Animation: part of the wall felt... part of the wall fell...
Lujeje: This foreseen nothing good. --> This does not bode well. Not sure what you're trying to say here but that's my best guess

S5
Io: I am glad we are finally out of this crypt. -->I am glad we are finally out of that crypt.
Io: Thinking orcs can master necromancy --> Who would believe that is was possible for orcs to master necromancy? i think he's asking a rhetorical question.
Io: bring the message --> bring this message
Io: We defeated the orcish leader that were pillaging the region. --> We defeated the orcish leaders that were pillaging the region.
Narrator: with only name...our shattered hero cross--> with only a name ... our shattered hero(es) crossed Not sure if you're referring to Io or Io and Lejuju
Narrator: then imagined than...to change forever, the... --> then imagined that ... to change, forever, the...

S6
Csia: thrown any stone ---> thrown any stones or thrown a stone I prefer the second option
Csia: goblins are involved --> goblins were involved Another opinion, I believe this could be said by another surviving member of the town, perhaps an old veteran. Would make the story flow a bit better for me, although more dialogue would need to be added to engage with this person
Csia: ...If you feel capable, take me with you. This was what i was talking about in my previous post, he's the authority figure but he's asking permission for Io to go. Just doesn't sit right. I feel like there should be some dialogue where Io volunteers or is ordered to accompany Csia

The item descriptions and text in books repeats itself

This happens since last LotI update. They changed the way the object description is shown, which now conflict with my way. This will be fixed in next update.

Thank you for the spell check.

I'm currently writing more dialog so I will publish the update once I will be done.

[lhybrideur]

The update is uploaded. As always, I noticed some typos right after. Those will wait next version.

[lhybrideur]

The add-on has been updated for compatibility with LoTi 3.2.6.
If you find any bug, please tell me so I can correct it asap.
The current solution is inelegant. I will try to improve it if possible.

[lhybrideur]

Chapter 2 is now online. If you already played chapter 1, you can continue your adventure by updating the campaign and loading Zei.cfg.

Please don't hesitate to write me if you find any bug or typo, or if you have a suggestion.

I'm currently trying to implement the new item management interface of LotI 3.2.6 before writing chapter 3.

[Major_Swampy]

Plz tell me, how many chapters on this campaign will be completed in next release soon?

[lhybrideur]

I don't really know ATM how many chapters there will be, but I think it will be around 10 chapters long. Considering the first chapter was completed roughly one year ago, I think the third one can be expected in a year, and the whole campaign not quite soon...
It is a side project of mine so I don't get ahead really fast.

[lhybrideur]

I just uploaded a new version of the campaign. It now uses the new LotI item management interface.
I implemented it in IMO the second cleanest way, but it is still experimental. Please tell me if you encounter any bug, I will fix them as fast as I can.

[lhybrideur]

I just realized that dropping objects from the menu, selling object and transmuting them into gold was broken in the latest version.
I uploaded a fix.

Still, I would love having a cleaner version where you could sell the items directly from the menu.
