Implent a new kit during the game

[StrongArmand]

A friend of mine has created a NPC mod for Shadow of Amn and now she's trying to extend to TOB. But she has a little problem for change the kit of her character during the game. Here you have the kit :

As you can see, the kit has impleted thanks to a WRITE command so in the tp2 file. But as I already said my friend would likes to change the kit of her character during the game. We have tried this command with another kit which is similar (exept some "@...") :

 

 

 IF ~Global("#SXXXXXXXXX","GLOBAL",5)~ THEN BEGIN X
SAY @X
IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("#SXXXXXXXX","GLOBAL",6)
		   AddSuperKit("PISTEUR1")~ EXIT
END

 

However in game, "PISTEUR1" don't work and instead of her kit the game set ranger kit. Is it cause by a problem with AddSuperKit command ?

COPY ~Severian/Dialogues/#SBlVide.dlg~ ~override/#SBlaidd.dlg~

That's really cheese way to add anything as it can give you anything to the game as it has a lot of things in dependencies ... make your fiend create a .d file from the .dlg file and then ask, or make the .d file yourself from the files with this... as one can extend the dialog.tlk with the .d files... is your friend called "Ripper" by the way, as that prefix is theirs.

 

Like this would do for to a lot of files

COMPILE ~Esiriak/IJ#esir.d~
	~Esiriak/IJ#es25J.d~

APPEND ~pdialog.2da~
~IJ#esir IJ#esirP IJ#esirJ IJ#esirD IJ#es25P IJ#es25J IJ#es25D IJ#esi25~
UNLESS ~IJ#esir~
APPEND ~interdia.2da~
~IJ#esir IJ#esirA IJ#esirB IJ#esi25B~
UNLESS ~IJ#esir~

 

As the .dlg file is a pre-coded dialog file that can have disastrous results... like the one you mentioned above.

[StrongArmand]

is your friend called "Ripper" by the way, as that prefix is theirs.

 

 

Yes that's ripper. But in the beginning she had'nt encode her mod herself (she was a begginer) so that's true that there are some piece of code which not encoded very well.

 

Finally, we have correct this line and we have found another solution in using "tokens".
