Well, I can put out a mod that says "Guess what number I'm thinking of?" and if you're wrong you don't get to proceed and see the rest of my mod, but I don't know that I'd call that "role-playing."

Also, getting back on topic... reading D and TRA files makes us stronger human beings.

[Kulyok]

There's one plus of reading .d and .tra before playing (if one's intends to play): Alt-F7. For example, my particular tastes as a player require that no strong swear words must be present in the mod I am going to install. So, I once downloaded a mod(Fade Romance mod, I believe), pressed "Alt-F7" for the f-word, and, voila, here it was! Saved heaps of time, too.

[Shed]

I'm sorry you feel overwhelmed, Minotaur . I still have a partially-coded (properly, by myself) version of Tobi NPC that never was. Shall I post it here?

[Shed]

Great to hear it !

[hlidskialf]

Huzzah! Glad to hear to stuck with it.

[minotaur_in_maze]

Glad you people can put up with ME... Lord knows *I* couldn't.

Alright, a two quick questions, if I may (and if not I will commence to PMing people In The Know.


First: NPC Dies and is then brought back via temple or spell: How can I write a code (to tie in with dialog) to make her hostile/attack party until death? I have been told it is possible to make a code (Kindrick) where when they are dead they are dead, but I want her to be able to be rasied and come back pissed.

----------------------------------

Second SHOULD be easy for those who know what they are doing, but...

The appeal (for me) in October is her dialog...meaning that she is a chatty b*tch. In her banters with <CHARNAME> I want to cover a bit, but I don't want to give away everything at once, so, if I have a line of code dialog going:

----CODE:---

IF~~THEN BEGIN Octob001_20
SAY ~Manda was my sister. She was younger than me by about three years and joined the Silverblades at the same time as I did.~
= ~Manda was a Wardancer, something along the lines of a bard, but her art was in the movements of battle. She could make the act of killing seem like the best type of performance art.~
= ~ I miss her. We were...very close.~
IF~~THEN REPLY ~I understand how you feel, well, sort of. Imoen is dear to me as well. She's almost like a sister, come to think of it.~
= ~ Can I ask you something else about your group?~ GOTO Octob001_16
IF~~THEN REPLY ~It sounds like it, and sounds as though you miss her terribly.~
= ~If I may ask... How did she die?~ GOTO Octob001_29

IF~~THEN REPLY ~Your tone when you say that you and Manda were close is odd. What do you mean?~ GOTO Octob001_30 *******

IF~~THEN REPLY ~It is important that we never forget our family and friends who have fallen.~
= ~October, I would like to know more but we're a little pressed for time right now Can I ask you about these things later perhaps?~ GOTO Octob001_28
END


OR


IF~~THEN BEGIN Octob001_07
SAY ~Co-leader actually, if there is such a term.~
= ~A man named Auric Maplebeard is nominally leader of my Blades, but he gained that position when our previous leader was killed in battle. I was second in command then as I am now, though I suspect that many in my group would side with me more than Auric if push came to shove.~

IF~~THEN REPLY ~Why did you not assume command when your previous leader was killed? If you were his second, the position should rightfully have been yours.~ GOTO Octob001_30 *******

IF~~THEN REPLY ~Really? This guy must be something special then.~
= ~What can you tell me about him? From his named, I'm guessing he's a dwarf, right?~ GOTO Octob001_25
IF~~THEN REPLY ~Sounds like you got sort of screwed. Anyway, I'd like to talk more with you but we're a little pressed for time just now. Can we continue this conversation a little later?~ GOTO Octob001_28
END
---------------------------


Though these strings of dialog (And I am using my old code so I know I need to make a few changes in general) have to do with different issues, BOTH have the option of GOTO Octob001_30 - Which is a "I don't want to talk about this now, maybe later" type string. (See code below)


----CODE:---

IF~~THEN BEGIN Octob001_30
SAY ~I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>, but that is not something I feel like discussing with you just now. Perhaps later.~
IF~~THEN REPLY ~Fair enough, but may I ask you about something else? GOTO Octob001_16
IF~~THEN REPLY ~That's okay, we need to get going anyway. Can we talk again later on?~ GOTO Octob001_28
END
----------

Now, in the course of the story IF October and <CHARNAME> get to be better friends, she might then feel comfortable in speaking of things that previously she didn't care too... Something brought up in banter 001_28 say, might not be okay to bring up again until maybe banter 004_01

If that makes any sense.

So, how can I link these so that WHEN the time comes for her TO talk about the whatnot she declined to answer in banter 001_28.... do I link 004_01 to... 001_???

Minotaur Making progress in coding but confused.

[Shed]

Firstly, you know I put a lot of effort into fixing most of your dialogue coding, right? You did get that email right? I still have a copy.

For your first question, what I suggest you do is put a block in October's script.

Something like this:

IF
Dead()
Global("OctDead","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("OctDead","GLOBAL",1)
END

Then in the dialogue file (the main one, not B or J):

IF ~Global("OctDead","GLOBAL",1)~ OctobResurection00
SAY ~Uungh...I'm...I'm *ALIVE!* Alive again!~
=~Who... Who did this? Who *DID* this to me!?!~
= ~It matters not! *YOU* <CHARNAME>! YOU lead this group and it was upon
your orders that I was brought back!~
++ ~Yes. I missed you, October. I couldn't stand the thought
of your being dead! Are you not glad to be alive?~ + OctobVeng01
++ ~Yes it was I. You are an important part of my group. I
need you alive and whole, as you are now, again. Lets get going.~ +
OctobVeng02
END

Etc. I haven't checked the rest of your dialogue for errors, though.

So, how can I link these so that WHEN the time comes for her TO talk about the whatnot she declined to answer in banter 001_28.... do I link 004_01 to... 001_???

Set a local variable before you GOTO Octob001_30. You can check it later to find out where the previous conversation left off .

Hope that makes some sense .

[Kulyok]

IF~~THEN BEGIN OCTOBRES02_00

EXTERN ~OCTOBRES02_01~

END

I am not good at coding, but it seems that in your October - PC dialogue, in these two places PC has only one thing to say, and it seems to be a very offensive one. (If someone in RL would say something about *my* bra, or call me a 'piece of meat' he would pick his teeth off the floor with broken arms, but it's just me.) Perhaps it is better if you provide additional responses, softer ones? Considering October's reaction, she will yell at PC anyway.

[minotaur_in_maze]

Shed,

Yes my friend, I KNOW you put a lot of work into correcting my code...which was why I was trying to avoid PMing you again for a backup. I try not to bother people, though in this case...

Actually, I have about 90% of it, but the dialogs with CHARNAME are still giving me fits. I will PM I guess. On the Other hand, the banters with other NPC's I have and took to heart! I..think.

Kulyok,

About the dialog and how it sounds mean...

Hmmm, in hindsight you may be right, though that was NOT what I was trying for. I was trying to make it seem as though CHARNAME was asking her in disbelief, though the comment about the bra was sarcasm. The fact is, if she were DEAD, she WOULD be "Meat, cooling on the ground."

Still... You are correct in that it does sound a bit as though CHARNAME is

I will edit.

Guest,

So, I have this coded so October is saying CHARNAME's lines? HOW did I do THAT? Better, how do I change it?

Minotaur In Mod Related Neurosis...

[minotaur_in_maze]

Ongoing thanks Guest,

The problem I have with the code is it seems to be such an imprecise kind of thing. I've read the "Guide to banter" tutorial by Blue, and this is the closest thing I could come up with for following those directions... Not to mention the fact that others have told me that sometimes other things must be done.
I mean, you can use CHAINs... sometimes. Unless...something. Except when...Something else...

Fer instance - If I want to talk to...Mazzy, say...


------------------------------------------

IF ~InParty("Mazzy")
See("Mazzy")

//Okay, First banter for Mazzy, above, so it is "0" going up to "1" - gotcha.

Opening banter, so we stop and do a:

"IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("MazzyOctobTalk","GLOBAL", 1)~ EXTERN ~BMAZZY~ OctoberMazzyBanter01_00"

In order to get to a section, in this case OctoberMazzyBanter01_00, where the fun REALLY begins.
-----------------------------------------------

IF ~~ THEN EXTERN BOCTOB October#Mazzy#Banter01_03

Fair enough, BUT I am told that I have to end this here and start yet Another banter, OctoberMazzyBanter01_03, to keep going...instead of just CHAINing it.

~I'm afraid I don't understand, Mazzy.~

IF ~~ THEN EXTERN BMAZZY OctoberMazzyBanter01_04

END

And so on up the number line until... Another NPC wants to butt in again. But assuming I don't want another of my NPC's to enter the conversation I STILL Can't make one long CHAIN 'till the end, and how long each section CAN be is a lil vauge.



(All information taken from "Road to banter" and Misc e-mail advice I have gotten from various people In The Know. At least as far as I can follow.)

Minotaur With Headache. - Going to look over an UnTRAfed mod I Know works right.

[jcompton]

You're looking at crazily old docs/mod samples if you're using CHAIN2 and APPENDI. The few mods I know of that use that code have explicit warnings not to use that code, in fact. Blue's tutorial has been updated in any halfway reputable place to remove such references.

[minotaur_in_maze]

So, as I understand it from that tuto you posted the link to, guest, I CAN use CHAINs and/or CHAIN2 after the first (Establishing) block provided that no other NPC/PC wants to insert a comment - and have maybe two or three blocks of code instead of a million little ones...
