Unoficial Expansion Pack

Postby cskid13 » Sun Apr 03, 2011 1:39 pm

I am hoping to compile an unofficial expansion pack to Myst Uru: The Complete Chronicles (or Uru: Ages Beyond Myst), so I am holding a contest. The best ages will be added to the expansion pack. I am looking for ages with (a): good puzzles that are actually challenging, and (b) fairly large ages. (Anything the size of Janga or larger is good enough, if you know what Janga is). So far, there is no deadline.

If you are planning on using Drizzle inclusive in your endeavor..be advised it only works with CC not ABM..

Uh, may I ask what the use is of an "unofficial expansion pack" when you can install any combination of fan ages you want.
Building an age is a far more technical process than making a 3d Model.
Do I look like I care?

Ages coming to my mind: Takla Makan, Sonavio, Oolbahnneea, Adrael. Reportedly, Turtle Isle is also of such kind.

However, I second Luna's question: What are you actually trying to achieve? Something like an easy to install way to get some awesome fan-ages into a plain Uru TPOTS?
Also, Drizzle is a tool that works out of the game, so making it part of the expansion pack does not make much sense (unless you want to use Drizzle to do parts of the expansion pack setup process). The Offline KI on the other hand, which could be considered an "Uru extension", is already something like an expansion pack on its own ;-)
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

I am hoping to make an expansion pack that can be used with the Complete Chronicles without Drizzle or the offline Ki.

I hope you are good at Python programming then. Have you actually tried adding an age without Drizzle or the Offline KI?

If not, then maybe he'll become good at Python programming by trying this.
In any case, there's a progress.

About this--I am not giving up yet. I have actually started now. The expansion pack will include Fens, Neolbah, Serene, Eder Tsogal, Eder Delin, and Vothol Gallery. I remembered that Kirel's linking room is virtually empty, so I will make a new page for Kirel with the linking books. If you look hard enough, you will also be able to find a bahro stone to Vothol Gallery hidden somewhere. If there is a law restricting me from releasing the two Eders, then I might cut them out of the released version.

By the way, does anyone know where I can find the python code for the bahro wedges?

The laws you're looking for are those encompassing copyright, which restrict you from distributing any protected works (not just those two) unless you have permission to do so.
