Troubleshooting

[Kendris]

When test-running a WeiDU mod, would other loaded mods interfere with operations?

 

I have the Bioware patch, G3BG2Fixpack & Dungeon-Be-Gone installed (had the Tweak Pack, but unloading & reloading my mod was taking too darn long.

 

The main .d file works, as does the .bcs, so I get a joinable NPC, but my B, J & P files don't seem to be functioning. Going to spend today going over the code for the nth time, but was wondering if there could be external interferance.

Only if they affect the way that B J & P files are handled, which I don't think so. Have you set up the relevant 2DA files correctly (i.e. INTERDIA.2DA, PDIALOG.2DA)?

This is the coding on my TP2 file:

Would case sensitivity be an issue? I noticed that your file names are in caps.

[Kendris]

I just thought of another issue that could be messing me up. Do I need to start a new game each time I reinstall following an edit?

[Kulyok]

Have you patched the initial dialogue file into your .cre?

 

The other case might be a misplaced variable.

 

Does he spawn?

Does he talk the joining banter?

What and when exactly is the issue?

 

(and no, you don't start a new game; case sensitivity is not an issue, as long as you're consistent)

Initial dialogue file is in place. He spawns & the joining banter works perfectly. When I try the kickout/rejoin, instead of what I have written, I get what appear to be the generic game choices.

 

Banter, Lovetalks & Interjections are not functioning (I set up a small sample of each to test the coding.). The Lovetalk Timer that I set up appears to be functioning, but when it's time for a LT, instead of what I wrote, he tells the PC "Why are you wasting my time with this dialogue?"

 

There's also something affecting the NPC's movement; when I move the group to a different location, he takes a step or two, then stops, so I have to keep clicking on the desired destination to get him there. I'm going to dig back through the code today; I tend to find the mistakes if I walk away & let it sit overnight. If I can't get it figured out, I'll post it for review.

This is an old error, pretty much everyone made You need to open your CRE file in NI, go to line 5, and set the Flags to 'no flags set'. In this case you will have to resummon CRE to make sure the changes took place.

 

 

In this line:

 

APPEND ~pdialog.2da~

~KEValen

 

Is KEValen your creatures death variable (script name) or his CRE name?

 

Also you might want to open the PDIALOGUE and INREDIA with your NI and see if the files got assigned; it looks like they didn't.

[Kulyok]

Yep, export flag.

 

There's also something affecting the NPC's movement; when I move the group to a different location, he takes a step or two, then stops, so I have to keep clicking on the desired destination to get him there.

 

A mismatched variable in one of your dialogues. If you check every baf-d pair, you'll be sure to find the guilty party eventually.

Could've sworn I set the "No flags", but I've redone him once or twice, so I'll have to recheck.

 

KEValen is both the DV & CRE name...I'm still a bit fuzzy on when and where each should be used, so gave them the same name.

 

And will check the PDIALOGUE & INTERDIA files as soon as I get home...they won't let me install the game on my work comp

 

Thanks!

[Kendris]

OK...the "No Flags" was set in the CRE file. PDIALOGUE & INTRADIA files showed that my stuff had been appended. I've looked at these lines until my eyes crossed; I'm hoping that a fresh look by someone with a better understanding of the technicalities will find what I'm missing.

 

The basic problem: Joining dialogue works fine, but nothing after that does: interjections, banters (tried the ctrl-i with the console), Lovetalks (the timer works, but the NPC doesn't use the scripted dialogue; instead, he asks why I'm wasting his time with useless banter.)

Override Script - KEVALEN.BCS

Default Script - INITDLG.BCS

Death Variable (aka Script Name?) - KEValen

Dialog - KEVALEN.DLG

[Ascension64]

Check if something is wrong with the way PDIALOG.2DA has been appended by changing the "multig" default entry on the second line with something else (maybe one of KEValen's dialogues). If your KEValen dialogue triggers when you kick the NPC out, it will indicate that something is wrong with patching of PDIALOG.2DA.

 

I'm not sure about this, but you might be able to test something similar with the "NONE" default entry in INTERDIA.2DA as well.

 

Your original question was whether other mods could affect this. You could try uninstalling them just to see if the problem lies therein, although I can't think of anything in those mods that would affect your dialogues.

[Kendris]

OK...question: the following lines would seem to be coding for similar results, i.e., the initiation of dialogue by the NPC

The only one that works (KEVALEN.D) uses THEN BEGIN; are the other lines an error on my part or a functional string of code (in other words, should I insert THEN BEGIN in those lines where it is not included)?

[Kulyok]

THEN or THEN BEGIN doesn't mean anything, no. It should be about your banter file not appending.
