I LOVE IT!

In honour, you have the last coded:

CHAIN IF ~InParty("##ESIRIAK") !StateCheck("##ESIRIAK",CD_STATE_NOTVALID) Global("EsiriakJanBanter","GLOBAL",2)~ THEN BJAN Es-Jan3
~Esiriak...~
DO ~SetGlobal("EsiriakJanBanter","GLOBAL",3)~
== ##ESIRIAKB ~No.~
== BJAN ~But!~
== ##ESIRIAKB ~No.~
== BJAN ~If I could just-~
== ##ESIRIAKB ~No!~
== BJAN ~What if I-~
== ##ESIRIAKB ~NO!~
== BJAN ~Hmph.~ EXIT

Hehe Whaddyathink, Jarno?

[Yuwakusha]

Okay so let me say that this NPC looks damn bloody cool! I never thought of a mind-flayer as a party member but this has certainly captured my interest as far as creativity and individuality goes! His banters look great, so keep it up. If he is going to be a mage of sorts, I think he should be an Enchanter simply because he has the physche affecting powers of an illithid. And the Intelligence drain *is* a good idea, but I agree that it seems a bit cheesy. How about giving him the special ability to charm person and creature X3 per day each? Just some thoughts of course.

Good luck!

[Thanatos.]

Thanks! yes, I agree with making him an Enchanter, but!
He can just Time Stop everything then Melee with the Int Drain for kills, and what kind of demon can't even cast a fireball? None.

Whaddyathink, Jarno?

Busy, busy, busy... the freaking priest is always busy. ~harsh words~

[Thanatos.]

Aww, don't be like that Jarno Turn that frown upside down

AND GET BACK TO WORK

[Jarno Mikkola]

Aww, don't be like that Jarno Turn that frown upside down

Like this? ... well, I'll be working on it, the mad plan has 10 steps, involves 4 files and it's all color coordinated... with black.

...but it was all up to me.
Besides those reasons, there are many more, like that there is already known mod NPC that is Enchanter, Xan(BGII mod). Besides, the Enchanters are the worst kind of mages, in my oppinion. And what would Enchanter do with a cloak he could get rid of by polymorphing to a smaller being... as Abjurer can't.

Complicated

...

Complicated with every second more and more. Did you notice that Esriak already has both Epilogue and Biograph, well they might not be installed correctly, but the mod files have them... well, the last time I looked at them. In Esiriak v0.092a16 ... and no, you can't have it as it's still unfinnished alpha.
But I might do a few changes...

[Thanatos.]

Ouch. And here I was thinking this was my mod

[Icendoan]

Not any more...

[Thanatos.]

It appears so Ah well, I consider this mod as much yours and Jarno's as it is mine. I just wish he would tell me the things he does (all of them ) before he does them

[Jarno Mikkola]

Ouch. And here I was thinking this was my mod

Not any more...

Well, that's life, compromises, especially if you don't learn to code... after all, this is my first try at it.
And so the mod continues to v0.092...

At this edition, I redid the whole Temple of Talos scene. So when you step into, just go with the flow and don't move an inch!
I didn't add the sounds as I had to learn a lot of the basics of the code anew, just for this...

Yeah, well, coding is far easier than writing. Writing requires time and imagination! Coding requires a sponge memory and ability to get some basic rules right!

And a good formula that show how to program 2+ NPCs and the PCs dialog lines easily(as there is tutorial for each, but not for both), better scripting tool than NearInfinity(help!)... So I went without them, and finished that still.
By the way, I also did the Jaheira and Jan NPC talks, though the Jan #2 consists only of this:

CHAIN 
IF ~InParty("IJ#esir") 
	InParty("Jan") 
	!StateCheck(IJ#esir,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) 
	Global("EsiriakJanBanter","GLOBAL",1)~ THEN BJAN Es-Jan2
~~
DO ~SetGlobal("EsiriakJanBanter","GLOBAL",2)~ 
== BJAN ~~
== IJ#esirB ~~
== BJAN ~~
== IJ#esirB ~~
== BJAN ~~
== IJ#esirB ~~
== BJAN ~~
== IJ#esirB ~~ EXIT
END

Hmm, I also would like to say that I really appreciate what you are doing Ithilian Delorio. So don't stop... Hmm, if you like we can use more PMs to talk more personally... so you know exactly where this will be going... that is if I know.

Aww, thanks Jarno *hand fluters to heart*

Sure, go ahead and PM me.

[Icendoan]

Versus that formula:

CHAIN IF ~InParty("dv") !StateCheck("dv",CD_STATE_NOTVALID)~ THEN dialogue stateLabel
~text1~
DO ~~ 
== dia2 ~text2~
== dia3 ~text3~
END
++ ~pc_response~ + 1
++ ~pc_response2~ trans

APPEND dialogue
IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 1
SAY ~text4~
++ ~We have chained PC responses!~ EXIT
END
END

Hm?

Also, NI does suck for scripting. Use The IESDP instead.

I have fully updated the main post. I am now looking for someone to voice Esiriak!

[Icendoan]

How much voicing do you need for a frigging ILLITHID!?! CAN IT EVEN SPEAK?!
