Brigand: Oaxaca News

[p]The winner of the Haitian Voodoo Mod Contest is Smashzone with CULT OF MAMAN, which has you defending a cult compound from the feds, as is tradition.[/p][p][/p][p]https://smashzone.itch.io/cult-of-maman[/p][p][/p][p]I probably won't be able to beat it myself until this weekend because I just took on a bunch of day job hours, but I will make a couple of attempts tonight for sure.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Finally decided to upload the alpha of Brigand: Tombstone, a prequel story by Quadrajet that I've had on my hard drive since 2021. I haven't heard from him in a long time, and it's a sin to let this masterwork collect dust. Hopefully, Quadrajet is in early retirement somewhere on the beach. Also added it to the mods list in Steam Discussions.[/p][p][/p][p]Tombstone Download:[/p][p]https://blancaster45.itch.io/brigand-tombstone-alpha-quadrajet[/p][p][/p][p]Also did a patch that makes TAB indentation acceptable in BSL scripts. There were some user-made mods that had errors because of this, but it should all be fixed now.[/p][p]Fixed lots of dialogue inconsistencies and typos in PANAMA, thanks to Jacov. Winning at Trivia Night at the Mosquito Net will now impress Bella for romance purposes (max of two times). Also, there was one trivia question that popped up twice, and it's now been replaced by a new question.[/p][p]Also, I thought the default Steam Deck controls were set, but reportedly not. I will work on that soon and post in a comment when I think the Deck controls are fixed.[/p][p][/p][p]Finally, the Brigand Voodoo Mod Contest deadline is in 1 week.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Here are some screenshots of Brigand: Tombstone.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]SOURCE:[/p][p]-TABs are now acceptable for indentations in BSL scripts.[/p][p][/p][p]SCRIPTS:[/p][p]-(BATTLES) Corrected number of brew tanks in Echo's dialogue in BATTLES map (thanks to Jacov).[/p][p]-(PANAMA) Fixed one question appearing in two levels in Trivia Night in PANAMA (thanks to Jacov).[/p][p]-(PANAMA) Bella romance now improves when you beat trivia night at the Mosquito Net (up to twice).[/p][p]-(PANAMA) Fixed some more typos and inconsistencies in PANAMA dialogue (thanks to Jacov).[/p][p]-(CHINESE) Improved Osito dialogue in Chinese PANAMA translation.

[p]Started using Notepad++ for everything recently because Windows Notepad is so shitty now. I noticed it was converting spaces to TAB automatically, which causes an error.[/p][p]Included this warning in the Builder's Manual and thought I would make a warning post for any modders working on the Voodoo mod contest (deadline Feb 1st).[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]I did a search in every Brigand script using Notepad++ and found that a lot of user-made mods use TAB, which will cause errors. This includes Lunar Legend, Arctic Adventure, and Xiahai Wetwork.[/p][p]I also fixed a tab in the Russian translation that got put in there when I was updating the Boris dialogue.[/p][p]Finally, winning Trivia Night at the Mosquito Net in PANAMA will now increase Bella's romance (max of two times). Thanks to Jacov for reminding me with his romance guide.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink] EDIT: For modders, you can search multiple files for TABs in Notepad++ by checking "Regular Expression" and searching for "\\t".[/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]SCRIPTS:[/p][p]-(BATTLES) Corrected number of brew tanks in Echo's dialogue in BATTLES map.[/p][p]-(RUSSIAN) Fixed tabs in Boris script in Russian translation (script should only use spaces).[/p][p]-(PANAMA) Bella romance now improves when you beat trivia night at the Mosquito Net (twice).[/p][p]RESOURCES:[/p][p]-Updated Builder's Manual (don't use tabs).[/p]

[p]Finally finished updating the scripts for the Chinese, Russian, and partial Spanish translations. Also fixed a couple PANAMA bugs, thanks to Jacov again. Using bogthorn leaf in PANAMA would fuck up the variable for the Fire Loa quest. Also added a line of Osito dialogue that tells you to finish Echo's pirate quest before he will join the team.[/p][p]Here is Jacov's Guide to getting your romance on in the PANAMA DLC for the 3/3 ending.

[p]Lots of minor dialogue inconsistencies have been fixed, thanks to Jacov on Discord, especially relating to the Boris/Gomez objectives regarding the shop deed in Loma Larga.[/p][p]Decreased Scawuen respect requirement for recruiting Boris starting Ch.6 from 60% to 40% (but you still gotta sell his shop). Also fixed Abyssal Gate ability description, some buggy Gomez dialogue when he goes back to Pochutla, and some LC dialogue after Ricardo dies.[/p][p]Also, achievements now work on GOG, thanks to Kevin04![/p][p]https://www.gog.com/en/game/brigand_gold[/p][p][/p][p]EDIT: Still need to update the Chinese and Russian translations, but I want to make sure there are no more bug reports coming in, and I need to make sure my text editor program doesn't fuck things up.[/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]SOURCE:[/p][p]-Fixed bug where Loavision would make all sentients disappear briefly when player was damaged.[/p][p][/p][p]SCRIPTS:[/p][p]-Fixed bug with Gomez's dialogue while he is in Pochutla (thanks to Jacov).[/p][p]-Fixed bug with Laughing Coyote's dialogue after Ricardo dies (thanks to Jacov).[/p][p]-Fixed bug with Boris not changing positions to bar after you force him to sell his shop.[/p][p]-Fixed description of Abyssal Gate spell so it no longer says "random" demon (thanks to Jacov).[/p][p]-Fixed bug where Dog's Worst Friend ability wouldn't unlock when using grenades.[/p][p]-Increased respect gained for Ghoul Refugee objectives from +5% to +8%.[/p][p]-Decreased respect required for Boris to join party from 60% to 40%.[/p][p][/p][p]RESOURCES:[/p][p]-Got achievements working on GOG (thanks to Kevin04)![/p][p]-Updated Player's Manual (Abyssal Gate).[/p][p][/p]
