Some NPC have "sounds" at DIALOG_DEFAULT, DIALOG_HOSTILE and SELECT_RARE with strings in the TLK. There aren't actual sounds, these are just basic text replies. Anyway, do they ever come in? Editing an NPC whose file I intend to revamp and whose dialogue I'm rewriting, it's a lot of bother to either disable or replace these responses. Do they ever actually get triggered, though?

They do. Well DIALOG_DEFAULT and DIALOG_HOSTILE do. If their .dlg has no valid states to run then this will appear in the text box instead. There also needs to be a .dlg attached to the .cre for these to be picked up (the dlg can be empty - there just needs to be something there.)  They also need to be actual sounds and not "sounds" like you have found already with some npcs.

Seems like a once on a blue moon scenario.
