Well, I'm trying to get my NPC's into TOB.
The Fate Spirit Summons them, they banter with each other, they initiate banter with other NPCs, but--when another NPC tries to talk to *them,* or at least to Larz, then the game crashes.
If I check the .cre with DLTCEP--any of the three--I get "Bad Dialog reference 'TM#LA25" (Or TM#NA25, TM#MO25) Thing is, I've only ever gotten that before when for some reason a .cre hasn't been installed in the game & so the dialogue's not been installed. But with these... I have:
BEGIN ~BTM#LA25~
BEGIN ~TM#LA25J~
BEGIN ~TM#LA25P~
BEGIN ~BTM#MO25~
BEGIN ~TM#MO25J~
BEGIN ~TM#MO25P~
BEGIN ~BTM#NA25~
BEGIN ~TM#NA25J~
BEGIN ~TM#NA25P~
At the beginning of BTM#LAR, which installs first of anything (And I tried it at the beginning of BTM#LA25, just in case) And they have been installed.
And the TP2 has the correct lines, I think: APPEND ~interdia.2da~
~TM#LAR BTM#LAR BTM#LA25~
UNLESS ~TM#LAR~
APPEND ~pdialog.2da~
~TM#LAR TM#LarP TM#LarJ TM#LarD TM#La25P TM#La25J TM#La25D TM#La25~
UNLESS ~TM#LAR~
The DV's are the same as the SOA DV's...
And I'm about ready to go crazy (again). Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? It's probably something blindingly basic.

Eh... shouldn't you have TM#LA25 instead of BTM#LA25 or something?If I check the .cre with DLTCEP--any of the three--I get "Bad Dialog reference 'TM#LA25" (Or TM#NA25, TM#MO25) Thing is, I've only ever gotten that before when for some reason a .cre hasn't been installed in the game & so the dialogue's not been installed.

BEGIN ~TM#LA25J~
BEGIN ~TM#LA25P~
BEGIN ~BTM#MO25~
BEGIN ~TM#MO25J~
BEGIN ~TM#MO25P~
BEGIN ~BTM#NA25~
BEGIN ~TM#NA25J~
BEGIN ~TM#NA25P~

It's still within the 8-character limit, so it's legal as long as it matches up.

Well, my point was that between this:
(As a side note, when did prefixes grow to four characters? I thought they were two...
)
And this:I get "Bad Dialog reference 'TM#LA25" (Or TM#NA25, TM#MO25)
There may be a mismatch somewhere. Are you actually compiling or otherwise defining the TM#LA25 etc.?BEGIN ~BTM#LA25~
BEGIN ~TM#LA25J~
BEGIN ~TM#LA25P~
BEGIN ~BTM#MO25~
BEGIN ~TM#MO25J~
BEGIN ~TM#MO25P~
BEGIN ~BTM#NA25~
BEGIN ~TM#NA25J~
BEGIN ~TM#NA25P~

She's using a three-character prefix: "TM#".
The "B" would be the industry-standard banter file prefix.

Yeah, INTERDIA and PDIALOG do nothing until the character is actually in the party; you need to make some pre-join dialogue (i.e., you need TM#LA25, TM#NA25, and TM#MO25 dialogue files).

Ah ha!
Found it. Turns out there was a duplicate set of BEGIN ~BTM#'s stashed in the middle of Larz's banter file, from some long ago beginning. And *that* is why the scripted dialogues were running just fine while the banters pulled *after* the duplicate begins were crashing the game.
Now, if I can only figure out how to get them to join properly....
