Hi, it's me again. I need some help in finding a place where to put stan's coffin shop.

There is option A:


Option B:

Post your own suggestions.(Like for example the forest).

Thanks.

a) Why is it being moved? ¬¬
b) The woodshop was one of the best locations on scabb island, don't dare change it /me listens to music

What I really think is that you need to stop making new posts everytime you have a question. If you truly desire this much feedback, use #ags

Seems to me that the most logical place for Stan to have a shop would be right where he was on Booty Island. The demographic for a coffin shop: Older pirates who are less likely to end up just floating face up in the middle of the ocean are most likely to be there. Plus he already likely owns the lease to that position. Woodtick doesn't really seem the best place to open a business that doesn't involve ships. If Stan were reopening his shipyard, I could see a use for it on Scabb, but as is there just doesn't seem to be enough population on Scabb for a lucrative coffin business, so... Yeah.

With the exception of his crypt on Blood Island in CMI (Which he converted simply because it was convenient), he's always seemed to be located somewhere where there are people to buy his products. He's a businessman, y'know? Even Blood island was considered a hot business location, looking to have business pick up in the event that the Volcano started flowing again.

Remember - With business, it's location, location, location. Wally and the carpenter had business because they catered to the locale. Hell, even the bartender wasn't seeing much business (Though largely due to Largo LeGrande). And the Voodoo lady? Well, it's more aesthetics in her case.

So if you're intending to shuffle around business locale, you'll need to justify it, and I second Puddin's opinion in that the carpenter's shop should stay as-is.

I am not going to change the location only, but also the items he sells. I will try to edit the background too, and the reason i am changing the location is simply because he is needed in part of the story and you will only stay on the first island of the game. So, where should i put it?

You need to learn to read non-selectively.

Putting Stan where he is will be thoroughly inappropriate, and in all likelyhood your edit will look out of place. And if he's selling different items, as he does indeed in each game, why does he still have a coffin shop?

[Estaog]

I said Coffin Shop to tell people which one it is. It won`t be a coffin shop (althou you CAN actually buy a coffin), it will be a shop sellin all pirate hats, fake parrots, even ayepatches! The coffin will be part of the storyline and is needed to pass the game. You huys still didn`t tell me where to put it.

Oh and what does non-selectively mean, sorry i am not english.

Well, here's a terribly messy edit



used a melee island background, because there is no general path background on scabb

a real one would need to be, MUCH higher quality, probably a hand drawn original background, but you're not up to that, from what i've seen in the crits lounge.

[Scummbuddy]

there is already a store in the MI-universe that sells all that stuff. On Booty Island. The store to the left of where you park dock your ship.

[Privateer Puddin']

ah, scummbuddy, thatd mean tanker would have to play the games, and we know he doesn't have time for that (or probably care ¬¬)

[Evil]

What confuses me is why the bridge in option B gets bigger as it gets closer to the island. And that's a pretty big shop compared to the ship.

[Mr Flibble]

Why does it even have to be Stan? I get the feeling that you wanted to put a shop in, and decided to make it Stan's for the sake of it.

[Tiki]

Or perhaps wanted to include Stan, and decided to make him have a shop there for the heck of it.

At any rate, might I suggest Stan's Coffee Shop?

[BerserkerTails]

I'm guessing it's because the inside Stan's coffin shop is already a pre-made background from Monkey Island 2. It means he can put it into the game with very little work.

[Estaog]

Man you guys aren't helping at all. If I tell you why it will be there it will spoil the story! This really isn't going well.... (and considering I am working very hard on the game, this is disappointing).

[MrColossal]

Tanker, what do you want? Put it anywhere YOU want since it's YOUR game. I'm sorry but just place it somewhere and move on. We, the player, will accept it and play the game.

Good luck,
Eric

Hey guys i know this has nothing to do with the topic but i seem to need another scumm ripper. You see the ones i have (scumm revisited and costume viewer) dont seem to be able to read all the stuff from the game. An example of this is the coffin you find floating in the swamp. I was wondering if there is any other good ripper that will allow me to rip these sorts of images. Thanks.

be careful... you are toying with the very essence and universe of why I love adventure games.

[Estaog]

Could you be more specific on which one to download?

Oh and dont worry, i wont let you down.

[Scummbuddy]

costume ripper under utilities.

and I'm sorry to say, but you are already letting me down, by not knowing the MI 1 and 2 storyline front and back. (meaning knowing every aspect of the game). I'm sorry, but its true.) It's the same reason why MI3, and especailly 4 was not held in the same regaurd. MI3 has established itself as a GREAT game by itself, and mostly within the continuity, but falls apart about there.
