Curious Artila Pheonix of the Blue Flame Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I've found that it overwrites the initial dialogue of the cook, who, btw, actually provides information about one of the begining quests. I'm not a programmer nor a scripter and one glance nearly fried my brain... but I think if it was moved to another non-essencial NPC (like a guard?) it'd be better ....

Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The problem is that it has to be a character that already has dialog. If there was an editor then it would be simpler to switch NPC's like that. I have't done much in A4, I'm waiting for version 2, but if a person compared them side by side it might be easy to put back the missing components. Absent that, tack back on the bits about the quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Publicly Displayed Name: Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 z60monasterdlg.txt 2 minute edit with the cook having the original conversation strings and the editor ones. Hope it works correctly. [Edit]: Meh, forgot about the 8 convo limit. Any suggestions? [Edit2]: Reuploaded file. Think I got it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Taffer Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The new trainer editor is better than this one as it mucked up the metal bar quest for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Eldarion Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 How exactly does this work? All I see is a .txt file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goto the directory you installed Avernum 4 on (Default: C:\Program Files\Avernum 4\) and goto Data\Scripts. Make a backup copy of z60monasterdlg.txt and then place the new downloadable file into that directory, overwriting (As you have a backup copy, it's not a concern). Then, in Fort Monastery, goto the kitchen and talk to Bodri. I'm learning the script pattern and I may have a bit of a better 'fix' - correcting typo's and misc errors that I found.

Kyshakk Koan Croikle Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 There's got to be an automated way to do that, since it's really simply organized. Aran (or many other people) could probably write some script to parse that data out of the file. However, if you enjoy hours of mindless labor, go right ahead. I won't stop you.

I won't stop you. I worked the State Fair of Illanois and Texas. Hours of Mindless Labor is nothin compared to THAT horror. But it's also giving me a bit more of an insight to the script functions. And since I'm already more then half-way (item 251 now) I'm a bit dedicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
