Just a heads-up to you all, with Coldstone out, PoG addons have started to come in. Ultima, the first 3rd-party plug-in for PoG, is available right now. Granted, it's a cheater, but I wanted to do SOMETHING with Coldstone, and it was pretty easy to make.

I took a look at it, (works fine btw), but I have a few questions/suggestions:
What is the purpose of the statue? Sell it to get a quick infusion of Cash?
It would be nice if your discription of each of the armor outfits also included a brief description of how much each affects your stats or if they have any special effects (increase luck, speed, vitality, etc.) that are over and above the other things that they do.
What's the damage rating for the sword?
Yes, I know I can equip one at a time and look at how my armor stat's change but it would still be nice if the info was included in the description of the item itself.

Yup. I accidentally missed the part where you can give the player gold.

Good idea. I hadn't known that it wasn't automatically added to the description, and since I know the values, I didn't check what they were.
Originally posted by ChristopherH: What's the damage rating for the sword?
9999. The others are 2000 each (or should be). At one point, they gave the player too high a defense rating, and rolled over, thus killing the player whenever he was hit by something.
Thanks for the input, I might update that tonight.

Just a quick suggestion: Maybe the old man should give you another sculpture if you talk to him when you've sold the one he gave you. That way you could get infinite money rather than a boost.
------------------
Well this is almost completely out of subject, but in the coldstone items part (Sorry if unclear!)there is two things labled "Armband". Do these really exist and if so, Where do you get them?

There's a problem wish money rolling over when you do that, I think. I'll look into it.
I dont mean to make you feel bad but are there any "decent" non cheating addons?
Originally posted by Elmo: I dont mean to make you feel bad but are there any "decent" non cheating addons?
Oh they're coming. The thing is making cheats is pretty easy; just throw together a superweapon and you're set. Making something new takes a lot more effort and so takes much longer. Judging from the interest on the Coldstone board though, there's a whole bunch of cool new stuff in the pipeline if Ultima doesn't float your boat.
BTW, doesn't Ultima contain a little extra story and such (I haven't had time to try it yet)? What do you want from the first addon released? "Patience grasshopper!"
Heh, don't worry, I'm working on them

Nope.
Starkiller, it might be a good idea to release the project for Ultima, for those of us who have Coldstone, but can't catch on as quickly as you. Also, may I ask where the name "Ultima" came from?

If you want it, send me an e-mail.

It sounded good.

Before telling you what I think of Ultima, I need to make it work first.... Help needed here, I've dragged the .dat thing to the plug-ins folder (was that what i was suppose to do??) but it doesn't appear on the start-up plug-ins thing. Can't wait to cheat a little too...

Data files need to be in there own folder in the plug-in folder, Plug-ins>Ultima>Data
I just finished PoG... Bravo! What a great "old school" adventure/rpg game! Please tell me someone is working on a sequel or an expanded mission plugin.
This game was really a great play. It was like reading a good book, I just couldn't put it down (or in this case walk away from the computer).
Now I'm off to download coldstone.

Quite a few people have posted their willingness to create add-ons for POG. Some will be simple cheats or modifications of the game. Others will create expanded mission packs(such as getting into Gidolan Keep, or going "over the mountain" which the ending suggested) or side-story continuations(termite farm, the storyteller's stories, etc).
I'm sure other people will take the POG engine and create plugins to change the world and story entirely(ie, using the POG engine to create say, a Tolkein world and story).
There have also been some threads discussing ideas for those who aren't capable for one reason or another of creating a plug-in, but would like to share thoughts and ideas to those who can but have run out of creativity.
So yes, people are out there working on plug-ins. Coldstone just arrived so it will take some time. But they will come.
Sounds like another plug-in may have just been started.
