Where to start...?

[worldwaffle]

Before anything else, I'd like to say hello to everyone. I go by waffledude on the Myst Online forum, just because 'worldwaffle' was taken. I can barely model anything in Blender, but I can program/script. I know C# (my favorite), C, Lua, [some] Python, Java, Javascript, and markup languages (XHTML, CSS, Html...)

So I guess I'm here to help program ages. *But since the python (can you use another language?) will be in Blender, I'll obviously need to learn more in Blender than knowing how to extrude, work with nurbs, what a mesh is, and how to color an object
----

But I have some questions:

How do I play fan-created ages now since Uru isn't open sourced yet?

*I should learn more about Blender, right?

Welcome.
You can play fan Ages by downloading Drizzle, then use it for installing the off-line KI and whatever Age you want from the list in Drizzle. There is a lot of them.

Wow, seeing so many programmers coming on board makes me much less intimidated about all the animations and puzzles I want for Eder Bahrehltahn. Welcome Worldwaffle!

I've just downloaded drizzle, but when I specify my Uru file (I don't have the Cd made by ubisoft...), it gives me an error: "Complete Chronicles/Path of the Shell file is not found"

Help?

Hiya there!

Hi Worldwaffle! You'll need URU Complete Chronicles to play offline Ages. I'm not 100% certain, but I think you need it until you install drizzle and the NoCD addon. Hope this helps!

[worldwaffle]

NoCd addon? where?

I don't have any of the disks for Uru...

[ZURI]

Oh. You can get it pretty cheap on Amazon. Less than $10 maybe. The NoCD addon is downloaded via Drizzle.

[worldwaffle]

oh... so its safe to install ages?

also, can you play installed ages with friends?

[ZURI]

Not sure about that one. Hopefully Dustin or one of the other Wizards will see this thread and confirm one way or the other. All I can say for sure is that you can't play them until you have CC installed. Sorry!
