#200039 A new NPC concept- would need help
Posted by Mabnuln on 13 April 2005 - 05:27 PM in IE Mod Ideas
Also, I have written (For the player character only!) the 5 "Universal" talks (the shaping talks, as I call them), the three Generic/friendship talks for cassie as a good character-which will fire BEFORE the love talks, 1 good love talk , and the majority of the second. There will be 5 or 6 love talks for now for each of her three alignments, which is short- but given 8 talks before it, not terribly so. If I can think of more for her to talk about after these planned, I will defanitely add to it. All currently in the order of 15-20 blocks long- a moderate size, I figure.
Just a friendly neigberhood status report for anybody who cares

Thank you both. I said I am new to it- but trying to get it down, and doing so relatively fast. I guess I am a glutton for punishment- making the hardist kind of NPC off the bat, and a complex one at that. I do have one specific question:The romance is a combination of:
D-file (dialogue file) that is appended to either PDIALOGUE.2DA (character interacts with PC or outside world) or INTERDIA.2DA (character interacts with the party memebers). Dialogies from PDIALOGUE.2DA is called by Dialogue()/StartDialogueNoSet(), from INTERDIA by Interact() command. Generally the Interdia file starts with extension B and the Pdialogue ends with J. Joining dialogue is usually a special case and is often simply 5 letters from NPC name.
BAF file (scripts) is used to drive all CRE's actions. It is usually appended to the CRE's override script.
Upon compilation D files become DLG and BAF's - BCS and the game then can use them.
You have quite a few errors in your D. A Road to Banter, Ghrey's How to Create... tutorials are great for learning structures. I also have a relatively detailed write-up on all sort of structures used in D files here:
http://forums.gibber...?showtopic=2822
The way the romance works is that BAF sets timers and sequence of talks and calls for them from D files. Simple actions can be done via D file using DO command.
For example the line:
IF ~~ Then REPLY ~As you would have it~ Enemy()
is incorrect in a few aspects:
It shouls be:
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~As you would have it~ DO ~Enemy()~ EXIT
or, using shorthand:
++ ~As you would have it~ DO ~Enemy()~ EXIT
always remeber that PC's line has to either lead somewhere (EXTERN/GOTO) or EXIT
Can a number in a global be negative? In this case, if you treat her like dirt early on she leans to evil (Remains TN, but is close to NE)- and continually racks up negatives (IncrumentGlobal("CassWV","GLOBAL", -1)). If it does that, or stay at 0, I am fine- but if it messes up the system I have to rework it.
As a side note- the line above was something I did not catch when making the last, 'enemy' line, and has been changed to GOTO Enemey. And if you are reffering to the statchecks, I have modified them to CheckStatGT(Player1, 15, CHR/WIS/INT (Depending on which stat it is) after looking at the Chloe romance- after I posted this. Also realize this is rough- I will go through it all, as will thebeta-testers when I finish it all (A few weeks, likely, at best) and at that time I will not only add to it, but rework my writing etc.
#199368 A new NPC concept- would need help
Posted by Mabnuln on 10 April 2005 - 09:06 PM in IE Mod Ideas
It has alway's bothered me that even with all of the mad mans tortures she automatically assumed you were her master and attacks you. Why shouldnt' charismatic, or smart, or wise PC's be able to convince her otherwise- and even get her help in escaping, and leaving the dungeon?
The problem is...I have tried, but stink at programing. I would need somebody willing to program it- I could write the dialouge, the banters, and potentially the love talks if somebody else put them in. I would also need a voice actress and a number of Ideas for flirt/force talk options. Any comments- or desire for such a character?
By the way- sorry if I put this int he wrong forum.

Posted by Mabnuln on 13 April 2005 - 06:11 PM in IE Mod Ideas
Wow, hard to belive this is your first attempt. I look forward to the completed project.
I didn't say I had a life ever, now did I
No, Seriously I have worked on her much of the day, and alot of yesterday- I had little else to do. Was to wet to do much outside here, and I am unemployed.
PS working on LT 3 now- soon I get to have her proclaim her undying affection to <charname>
And, now, onto, as Reialis Shai say's, one final....odd...request. I will not need it in some time, but is anybody willing to make a Ellisime like picture for her? Even though I can code it (With perhaps a little too much help from you guys- your great!), I know and I KNOW I can not do art! Also, I am a guy- so If I want her voice acted, which would be good, I could use an voice actress. She will speak in Thee's and thou's- just to keep that bit true to the game. And I would not need her voiced until, frankly, she is scripted and written- but just a for the future, on both.

My question is anybody willing to host a forum for me (Though likely not here) ? Or should I make one at Yahell? I have gotten plenty of help, and no doubt taken too much of your time- again, thank you! you have helped alot! at least S-conrad and Ashara will be given mention in the readme- when I finish it all!

As for making her a differant class- even though you are right and you can break the rules with an NPC- I can not see her as a bardess or a wizardess. Simply because her concept seems much closer to sorceress than that- a bard picks up a little bit of everything, and at level six is fairly descent in most things. She has had no life experiance other than being tortured and killed by Irenicus- and hence even making her Literate is a bit of a streach. But, a clone of Elliseme- a descendent of the Seldasine- would fit sorcerer well.
There is much I wish to ask people that is not technical help- so does not fit here. Such as flirt Ideas, what they would want in an FAQ, etc- and if anybody would want to be a beta-tester. I had not realized there were more than two or three moding sights for the Infinity/Aurora etc. engine.

Besides, I do not like using other peoples work (More than I would). I am pesky that way- I enjoy creating. But, I said last night unless there was intrest I would not step on anybodys toes (Ref: Chrystia) regardless- It is more asking if there is intrest in THAT Idea.

That is also the Idea I had- you would effect her alignment through your conversation, and she would end up whatever alignment you wished. Sort of like the Nameless one (Plane scape) She would begin as true nueteral. But, as I said- others have a very similter mod, and I am no good as a modder, or at least coder- I have tried before. and I truely do not know if there would be enough Intrest with Chrystia to do it. Perhaps I should have made a pole. Anybody else have any desire to see it? Heh. I would enjoy the creative challange- but would need a coder, a voice actress, etc.

As for the clonign tanks, aye- they were full of 'the same woman, or at least parts of the same woman'. that could mean stasis as much as it could cloaning. Actually, they seem very similer, to me, to the tanks Reilev Et all are in, which would seem more stasis- hmm.
And Ashara- I do mean that my brain works back working with my own work, instead of fan fiction. I have written fan fic before, but it is not as enjoyable as it would be to create- and like I said, I have not read any of the forgoten realms books ETC anyway, so making Ellisime a TOB character would be very difficult to me- I know only that she is a queen of the elves of Sullandsar, and a descendant of Rillfane- that is not enough to continue. So, lets see... a quick scetch of what I was thinking
'ellie' (Temporary name)
Race: Elf/clone
Gender: Female
Class: Sorceress
Starting Level: 6
Strength: 10- a clone, with little experiance and from an elf from the magic
Dexterity: 16- An elf, but with no experiance
Constitution: 12- an elf clone, though born of the gods, been abused many times
Intelligance: 14- knows enough to be a mage, but
Wisdom: 12- Little experiance in the world, but perceptive
Charisma: 15- born/cloned From a very lovely woman, but is unsure what to do in the world, and has few social skills- to begin with.
Profficiancies: Knife, darts
Spells:
Level 1: Protection from evil, Armor, Magic missle, flaming hands, sleep
Level 2: Agannazars scorcher, Mirror Image, Blur
Level 3: Monstor summoning 1
History:
One of a number of clones of the 'mistress', or perhaps in day's gone by wife, of Irenicus, Ellie, as she calls herself, is an innocent in the world- and for the first time in her life- after being created by a terrible and evil spell of Irenicus- she is traveling free. She would never have left on her own- she is unsure what to do, knowing only small amounts, practically, about the world, and will listen to her rescuer, and will travel with you to the end of the world... or beyond.
Ideas:
Possibly romanceable
No special items to begin with at least, likely if romanceable one or two special items to deal with the romance.
No special abilities above her sorcery
probably 1 or two small quests, and/or 1 moderate one
Can be influinced by her rescuers (Charnames) view of the world- will slowly warp to his/her alignment if brought the right way.
anybody interested? Heh. obviously some are...

As for Dedication, research, and effort, you write a 50 page thesis and say that again, little witch. Learn to have board ettiquite, and if you are so kind, until you do do not reply to my post again. I would rather it be stricken than be insulted.

My question- how are you going to have her romance evil characters as a CG? If a character is playing true evil, she would leave the party soon after joining it.
