CHAIN Problems

[CoM_Solaufein]

I'll offer some advice on the best way to learn all of this. Print out the tutorials, kick back and read them. Print out sample codes from a mod, read them over. Read all of this stuff over and over until you get it. That is the way I learned all of this stuff.

 

And yes I have a bunch of tutorials and samples in binders that I keep on my bookshelf.

Check to make sure that line is *above* the dialog compile line... that can have an effect

 

Dare I ask what line? And when you mean the dialogue compile line you do mean all the stuff like, "COMPILE", right?

Thanks for the advice, I think I just might do that, so I don't repeatedly probe people with meaningless questions...

As for sample codes from mods, is there a certain place I can find them at, or should I just find them while surfing the web?

You need to have a line in your mod's TP2 file, like so:

 

APPEND ~STATE.IDS~ ~0x80101FEF CD_STATE_NOTVALID~
UNLESS ~CD_STATE_NOTVALID~

 

Otherwise it can't parse CD_STATE_NOTVALID, because it's not in the original game.

 

As for sample code, check out Aran Whitehand's forum (on this site). Haldamir is also a good mod to look at, as is Tyris Flare. I've found some one-day NPCs, like Tiax and Ghareth, to be helpful as well.

Here comes my stupidest question yet....what's the difference from the one I had originally put down?

 

As for the sample codes, thank you.

In case it isn't obvious, you should put that tp2 append *before* any dialogue or script compiling you want to do.

I'm quite proud to say, I at least know that.

I have finally figured out what's wrong and thank you everyone who helped me a great deal!
