To yet be determined, although its getting pretty polarized for either lost in the forests, or in the middle of the city.

OTHER INFO ABOUT THE LIBRARY

We will be adding at least one secret area, although it's location and nature might only be privvy to a few.

Might have more areas than that.

Anything I missed, just post.



Do not make another thread about anything that would be put in the library. If you have an idea please post it in here.

Thanks

The library wasn't going to be a faction. However i have been exploring the thought of having to do some "Favor quests" for some guy who lives in the middle of the city and knows about the library and its treasures.

Heres what I have so far.

Lets say the Library goes in Anvil ok?

You walk around and a guy will aproach you outside a tavern. He asks you if you want to know a secret and natrualy you say "yes." So he rambles on and on about this fabled Library and its lost treasures. After a while of listening to his... information he finally tells you that he knows where this library is and how to get to it. However this information comes at a price. And that price would be a few personal favors for him.

First he tells you someone had accused him of having illegal books. So he asks you to get the guards of his back by planting a illegal book in his accusers house and telling the guards that you saw him acting wierdly in his house. They go check it out and find the book and take him to prison.

Next he wants you to get a book that he has wanted ever since his childhood but could never afford it. Apparently he still can't afford it and he wants you to steal it for him. Its in a manor on the rich side of town. Steal it and bring it back.

Last the guy gives you a simple task. Go to the park in the middle of town that night and wait for him to meet you there. Once he meets you there he takes you on walk towards the middle of town and outside a book store. He takes you inside and leads you to a wall covered by a tapestry. He moves it out of the way and behind it is a door. You both go through it and down a long stair case and go through another door.

You walk through and enter a high ceiling room with lights hanging everywhere to brighten the place up. He then walks infront of you and tells you the magic words. "Welcome to my library."

You see? The guy giving you the quests at the begining is actually the librarian and he's testing you to know if you should be the next librarian after he dies.

That i think would be the most spectacular begining to a mod like this.

The library wasn't going to be a faction.

Actually, that could make some scripting things easier, even if being a member of this faction meant nothing more than gaining access to the actual library and being allowed to read the books.

What I mean is, you can't become a member until you've gained the trust of the guy you keep meeting. After gaining his trust (reward at the end of a quest/quest string) you become a member, and maybe we even make a little "library card" to show you are a member. Then, to gain access to the secret library we make a script on the door to enter the library that only allows you to access it if a certain condition is met.

That condition would be that you are a member of the faction.

Or, the condition could be that you must have the library card in your inventory, thus eliminating the need for the faction.

BTW, anyone know about how many books have been contributed so far.

And finally, welcome not-entirely-back stargate!
