Technically two. Expanding some stuff for the plugin i consider a separate project, even though it helps my main one by adding in the stuff I need to make it possible.

The rest of my projects I just kind of spun into one giant massive project that will serve as a third expansion pack for Uru once it's finished. A new neighborhood, new office in D'ni, and several ages, that all are interconnected into one gigantic storyline.

That counts as at least 3 projects, which makes 5 altogether so that you are back to normal

Seriously, I am looking forward to seeing what you did with all the PyPRP modifications - I heard rumours of the first fan-age with a SDL day/night cycle and other never-before-seen goodies. And of course I'm also excited about other ages which are created, a new age is always exciting - it's great to see that there are at least 2 contestants now

Actually I cut the SDL day/night cycle out of Eder Licinius. I'll probably put it in one of the other ages though. So I didn't add support for that into PyPRP yet. But there's other stuff I put into my version. Layer animation support that will allow that allow support for an SDL day/night cycle. Support for Great Zero coordinates, and a few other surprises. One being ExcludeRegionMods and Msgs, so that we can have more multiplayer functioning doors that won't smack other players in their faces. With the added two weeks I can focus more on getting those changes out for everyone to use.

EDIT:

Okay, now I've got a question that I need an answer to.

The majority of my storyline for my age, is information held in an office in a D'ni neighborhood. Here the GZ is calibrated to send coordinates back to the KI if you've finished the GZ marker missions. Now, I could put the office into Eder Licinius and hide it behind the mountain so that it fits into the 200x200x200 cube Space isn't a problem there. The problem is that the GZ cooridinate system would then work in the rest of the age as well, which is something I don't want to have happen. So I was wondering, can I keep the D'ni office as a separate age (similar to the Ahnonay Temple and Ahnonay spheres) and release the two together. Or should i disable the coordinate system and put the office into the age itself. The problem I have with this is that Eder Licinius already has two prps, the D'ni office utilizes four, and once I expand the age Eder licinius will gain an additional prp, making it one really large age.

I leave this up to you guys. Is it okay to keep them as separate ages (since they are linked together via their story content, journals, GUIs etc) or should I add the two, disable the GZ coordinate system, and just separate them later if I need to.

[GPNMilano]

Still need an answer on that question folks. Hint Hint.

[Trylon]

No need to keep everything in one age file.
IF you need to split things up into 2 or more ages, it's ok to do so.


Sorry for not noticing your question - I usually only check Active topics with new posts, and editing a post to add something doesn't make it show up in that list.
(Personally I prefer double-posting above editing a post to add something later)

Thanks for the answer Trylon.

Yeah I realized that no one was responding, largely because editing my post didn't update the topic, hence the reply to bump it up so someone would notice.

Your age, your decision IMO...

I'd go for two ages though, but you'll need to make it clear to download both (or have them both downloaded at the same time... somehow).

What i'll probably do is just zip them up into the same .tar file. And just post that. Later when I upload them for use on ULM I'll seperate them into different downloads.

[Trylon]

No need to split the download up into multiple ages for ULM, just make one entry for the main age, and select all the files for both ages to go with it.
