Wondering about the new starting location for Tiax

[Domi]

It's better to move him than lose what few voiced lines we have. Though I don't see why Tiax can't say the line he says in-doors just as successfully as in the outdoors when the party spooks him. (Shrugs).

[Bursk]

Oh, I didn't realise his opening greeting was voiced. Hmm.

 

Oh, and congrats on your sprog, Domi!

I had views on Travenhurst forever and ever. Seeing I dropped Shar-teel's quest that was to take place there (partially), I wanted *something* to happen there.

Didn't Bons use it for Finch's quest?

[Domi]

I wouldn't know, but It's for the best then that I didn't do Shar's

[Raven_Song]

What was Shar-Teel's quest going to be?

[Domi]

I didn't write anything for it and it's too spoilerish to comment publically.

[Raven_Song]

Not to worry - there are many other projects in the pipeline that I'm sure will keep me happy and occupied.

OK, someone post the location coordinates for the new placement, and I'll drop it in. I would prefer that we stick with just one potential location if possible - i really would prefer not to have 3 alternate locations starting a small mudslide of additions

[Bursk]

Well, I still think my idea is sound:

 

'What about if he was instead stood on the ground floor of Feldepost's Inn, so that he witnessess your (probable) fight with Marl. This way, his opening dialogue 'one such as yourself' would make more sense, plus an inn might be a good place to meet people to help in his crazy adventure.'

 

But outside is also okay. I've contributed very little to this community, so I think you should probably go with someone else's suggestion.

 

Edit: Don't know any coordinates. Sorry.

[berelinde]

Somebody/anybody give me a landmark and I'll get you coordinates. Do you want him by the monument? Do you want him at the bottom of the stairs at Feldposts? You tell me where you want him, and I'll get the x's and y's.

[Miloch]

Bursk's suggestion sounds good to me. I would oppose any suggestions to add another actor to Beregost proper. But inside the inn FW3351 around 500,630 would work.

[berelinde]

Cool. I don't even have to fire up Tutu to look, 'cause Miloch beat me to the punch.

 

Rock on!

[Miloch]

One of the handier features of DLTCEP - just fire up an area (use the map/list in my sig to look it up if you don't know the #), go to the Actors tab and "Set position" will bring up the actual map and give you the coordinates anywhere on it.

Unless vetoed (Domi?) the internal I am working on now moves Tiax to

 

FW3351 at 500,630

Does anyone have a screenshot of where exactly FW3351 at 500,630 is? I'm not sure how to work all this coordinates shrimp to find out myself?
