OK.  As soon as I get a few more volunteers, I'll see how many lines are left and then I'll split them evenly among everyone.  :)

(I moved your post here in case people decided to start at 34001, and 12 people all working from the same spot won't turn out well... heh).

Hmm, so this would involve readin through the file one line at a time?

If its tedious and menial, then I guess I could help. I know the game by heart. Or at least, I knew the game by heart.

Which parts of the Haer'Dalis script are they looking to write?  Are you talking interjections, or full quest scripts.  I've heard you mention some cut side-quests before.  Is this what you were talking about?

If I remember correctly they are looking for full quest scripts.  Icelus is the man to ask though and I'm sure he will reply soon enough.  I'm sure you could find some topic on this forum talking about Haer'Dalis and his quests.

I'm writing the Haer'Dalis quests already, and the first one should be finished (the writing part, that is) next week. Just so nobody starts to do a lot of work that won't be used.

And I'm not telling anyone that I was originally planning to write the quests in September last year...

Yeah, the H'D quests are covered, actually.  I'm going to try and get my ass in gear and write the Keldorn quest, but where I could really use help is with writing for Viconia.  She has two quests that were cut, one of which would be really nice to have restored.  Coding is not an issue--we've got that covered.  It's dialog that's the issue.  :(

But, before we get too off-track here, does anyone else wish to volunteer for the dialog.tlk digging?  I'll hold off one more days if anyone's still interested, and then I'll start giving out the assignments tomorrow evening.

May I suggest that everyone uses the exact same text file? I have an english dialog file with Baldurdash and TOB installed, and strings 0 to about 37000 removed (except for the weird ones); I could send it to everyone, and we'd work on it?

It'd probably be easiest to take #37001 to whatever end number, divide equally amongst everyone, and send out individual text files with just that person's assigned range.
