Item sets could be done with a plug-in mutator.

Give each piece of that set EquipEffects=GBArmour. Then, in GBArmour::Apply you get the number of other GBArmour mutators active on that actor, and if it's 3 or some scripted number, you know the whole set is equipped and you can apply your special benefits.

As for the quests, I'm keeping my eye on everything that's getting discussed here, and once the full version of Scallywag has been out a little while and we've gathered some more feedback, we'll look at what we're going to do, be that quests, or anything else in popular demand at the time.

I've got to write the native scripting guide between now and August 26th. The perfect way to illustrate writing plug-ins, is to write some in that tutorial. I think item sets would be a neat way to show how new mutators can be created.

What else would we like to see in that tutorial if possible?

Anything that gets made during the tutorial is clearly going to be available for use by regular attribute scripters too..

Been out of town (Las Vegas)--they wanted 15 USD/day to have lousy internet access. Oh well. Anyway, how about the item set plugin (as above),a rudimentry quest plugin, a mutator plugin (some ideas only--summon monster, resurrects dead monster, lays eggs which spawn into additional monsters, teleporting from one location to another in same room, time stop--freezes character for x seconds).

P.S. Having gold and quests in the game is a must in my opinion. Speaking of gold, I did not lose any in LV. I ate until I won...

P.P.S. How about a wysiwyg map editor? How about multiplayer via tcp/ip as an expansion pack?

One suggestion about the script guide, a great way to learn could be having an example mod in it and show all the text written needed to produce it.

GeorgiaBoy, I'll see what I can do for the native modding guide, and pfreak, I'll see if I can combine your request with GeorgiaBoy's.

As for multiplayer and a map editor, let's see if we get a reasonable amount of interest first, and if we do, we'll do it!

pfreak, did you see the Zombie Fest MOD? Would this satisfy your request?

Where is that again?
