Rouse's Dev Blog VIII

[Rouse]

Well if you didnt know I returned from Retirement about 2 months ago, Only managed to stay away for like 4 months hehe. Just cant stop working, I want SWG back just as bad as most of you!

So what have I been upto? Well
1. Been working on getting the code updated to use STF Linking instead of hardcoding our text in game, we have changed over to using the correct STF Linking so that communities can change the client into versions, like French and German to name a few.

2. Created a Dev tool for searching the Publish notes, easier with a keyword search.

3. Created a Dev tool for searching thru the STF Files using Keywords. This makes it easier to find the correct STF to use.

4. Started Work on the Flowchart design for Player Cities, this proved very effective when we did the tutorial. So if it works reuse it. Im about 85% done with the Player City Flowchart. The Flowchart should increase coding times alot since the Coder doesnt have to track down every single detail, then remember Damn I forgot something and have to go back and recode that section.

5. Helping Sostrata with QA as she is on Vacation for a week.

6. Smashing bugs during our Bug Smashing Week we had a few weeks ago.

7. Working on a Conversation tool to help the easy of Entry of Quest Dialog, and other Chat with NPCs in the game.

8. Working on a Item Attribute Tool that has an In-game View for entry of all the items attributes in game.

Planed projects in next coming weeks include, Guilds Flowchart and contiuned work on item attributes.
