opps sry guys it was me forgot to login

[Sir BillyBob]

That would be because the banter file is actually "BJAHEIR". There is no "A" at the end.

[sadun]

So replacing BJAHEIRA.DLG with BJAHEIR.DLG in tp2 file will solve problem right?

[Sir BillyBob]

You can check there but I suspect the error is in Indira's D file. Open that with Notepad, and search for BJAHEIRA or ~BJAHEIRA~ and remove the A in each one.

[sadun]

Thanks for your reply. But i still have more questions.

which D file? The files under the Dialogue folder? There are three d files there. indi.d indiJ.d and murnethbanter.d which one do i need to modify?

In the indi.d file there is lines like that

CHAIN
IF ~Global("J#indijaheira","GLOBAL",0)
InParty("J#Indi")
See("J#Indi")
!StateCheck("j#indi",STATE_SLEEPING)~ THEN bjaheira indijaheira
@57
DO ~SetGlobal("J#indijaheira","GLOBAL",1)~
== J#indib
@58
== bjaheira
@59
== J#indib
@60
== bjaheira
@61
EXIT
can you explain which ones do i need to change pls?

Thanks..

[sadun]

Ty sbb i solved the problem changed above code with

CHAIN
IF ~Global("J#indijaheira","GLOBAL",0)
InParty("J#Indi")
See("J#Indi")
!StateCheck("j#indi",STATE_SLEEPING)~ THEN bjaheir indijaheira
@57
DO ~SetGlobal("J#indijaheira","GLOBAL",1)~
== J#indib
@58
== bjaheir
@59
== J#indib
@60
== bjaheir
@61
EXIT

and the problem solved. And you need to save in the plain text format otherwise you will get another errors.

[Sir BillyBob]

Correct, this is a text file so it has to be saved that way.

Correct, this is a text file so it has to be saved that way.

I thought I fixed that issue, unless I uploaded the wrong copy of Indira. That really is annoying.

I apologise for the error.

Jaheira, Viconia, and Dynaheir do not use the same dialog namings between BGT and Tutu. Everyone else is just a simple "_" in front for Tutu. These three have additional letters you have to watch for. In Dynaheir's case, the BGT name is actually shorter, DYNA while Tutu uses DYNAH (and the underscore). Their banter file names are not consistant with their "J" file names. Believe me, the BG1NPC conversion is a pain in the ass each time I do it.

I noticed that. It was one of the 'textbook' changes I overlooked in an earlier version of the Tutu2BGT converter utility that I used to convert IndiraNPC. I did a Notepad change and introduced the typo, then I found out and attempted to fix it, but somehow it managed to sneak through the veiled curtain.

Maybe a stupid comment just my thoughts. Why dont merging mods instead making them compatible. In short period this maybe time consuming but on the long term it will save you a lot of time and will be more user friendly. It will be easier to track bugs and handle the variables.

'Hey this is my cool mod I made' You want to do what to it??? No way! it is my mod not yours, don't steal it for your mod!


Get the picture?

[sadun]

lol got it

[Ascension64]

Unfortunately, there is no The Elder Scrolls: Construction Set (TES:CS) to merge your plugins for you, and that doesn't work too well either!

[Sir BillyBob]

Unfortunately, there are several mod developers out there that can't stand the idea of someone else touching their work (I have to assume they have never had a professional publishing company review their work, even Stephen King said most of his books have been slightly edited by others).

I have one small mod I have asked the owner to allow me to update and the answer was "let me think about it". That was several months ago. Needless to say, if you aren't willing to update your work or accept someone else to do it, your mod is dead on arrival. If I refused to update DS/NT or BoneHill for BGT-Weidu, you would only be able to play them on BGT-BP. Not many players are still using that platform.

Just something for the rest of you to think about: If you plan on joining into the mod making, please be open to others wanting to modify your work or at least make it work in environments you had never thought about.

Just my 2 cents.

@2005 (copywrite) only works with registered trademarks or patents, just because I put a @2005, or anything else to that effect, in my mod dont mean its "legally" copywrited. If i am correct we cant actually copy write mods because the game is registered and owned by Bioware. If they wanted to they could tell us to stop distributing mods.

If you have a problem installing Indira NPC, please post here. If you like to start talking about copyright, please don't do it in this topic, nor the BGT-WeiDU forum. BGT-WeiDU does not mention copyright at all, and will have no part in what is being discussed. Polite warning.
