cmorgan Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Original BioWare implementation: Scripting Aerie has two choices - not in romance with godhood chosen, or in romance with godhood not chosen. IF Global("StartEndBios","AR6200",1) InParty("Aerie") // ~Aerie~ OR(2) !Global("AerieRomanceActive","GLOBAL",2) Global("PlayerChoseEssence","GLOBAL",1) Global("AerieBio","GLOBAL",0) THEN RESPONSE #100 SetGlobal("AerieBio","GLOBAL",1) TextScreen("AERIEND1") SmallWait(1) Continue() END IF Global("StartEndBios","AR6200",1) InParty("Aerie") // ~Aerie~ Global("PlayerChoseEssence","GLOBAL",0) Global("AerieRomanceActive","GLOBAL",2) Global("AerieBio","GLOBAL",0) THEN RESPONSE #100 SetGlobal("AerieBio","GLOBAL",1) TextScreen("AERIEND2") SmallWait(1) Continue() END Original BioWare implementation: Epilogue.2da The AERIEND1.2DA references two strings, the important one being the text: 71020 73916 Aerie continued adventuring after leaving <CHARNAME>'s company, driven in her travels to oppose slavery in any form. Her compassion grew tainted by revenge, however: revenge for what had been taken while she was in chains. She might have lost herself entirely had she not stumbled across a group of avariel enslaved in Cormyr. They compelled her to come to Faenya-Dail, the home she was originally stolen from, and she learned much while there. Most importantly, she learned she was no longer one of them and stopped pining for wings she wouldn't use anyway. Aerie eventually became a high priestess in Understone, a gnomish village her mentor, Quayle, had sometimes spoken of. He had been her true family, and it was among his people that she finally found peace. The AERIEND1.2DA 71020 73917 Aerie and <CHARNAME> would prove inseparable, their adventuring careers becoming secondary to the raising of their son and, eventually, a daughter as well. Their later years would hold one last great trek, however, as Aerie still suffered a sadness from her time enslaved and the loss of her wings. Together she and <CHARNAME> sought the avariel of Faenya-Dail, the winged elves she was stolen from so long ago. They discovered not only her people, but loving parents that had spent years searching for their lost child. With no more mystery or confusion to cloud their lives, it was there, among the clouds, that Aerie and <CHARNAME> would finally be married. Their union, it is said, was blessed by visions of Aerdrie Faenya and Baervan Wildwanderer both. Mod implementation: Copying and Replacing strings in Epilogue.2da Many other mods use just one, or perhaps two potential endings. A sample of modder choices from the more extensive ones: Theacefes' Sarah uses 4: // No Friendship // Friendship // Friendship with god // Romance // Romance with god Domi's Kivan uses 4 as well. JCompton's Kelsey uses 10, but his includes a Kelsey/Imoen NPC<>NPC Romance. Nethrin and Sillara's Saerileth uses 14. Heh. lots of begetting and begatting and an epilogue for elves - and one without. OK - we can see that many modders give short shrift to ToB anyways - and among the modders who do, several of them put no epilogues, some put one with just friendship disassociating from PC, some put several possible outcomes, and a very few put several choices including player responses. That would be sane and sensible. But wait - there is more... hidden in those epilogue.2da references are a whole list of potential outcomes, none of which are seen, used, or referenced by the game engine. If they had been, the .2da above could have been only one, with the correct strings run based on what entry was cross indexed. When we glance at the actual .2da files that BioWare created, and we mess with to apply our own text to, we see that the original idea was to have 25 separate string entries per epilogue, divided out by race and class, so that the original idea must have been something like "Aerie and PC eventually settled in a fighter stronghold ruling all of their lands. While dwarves usually retire underground as they age, PC built tower after tower into the sky, revelling in his wife's joy of flight." "Aerie and PC eventually settled in a forest close to Tethyr, where PC's Ranger Cabin could host their growing family of sheep, chickens, and little winged children, all competing for the joy of studying the innermost workings of photosynthesis." Etc. Etc. So BioWare probably intended for some player choice; they thought between 50 (if just two versions of class epilogues set) and 100 (if two versions of both race and class epilogues set) were just way too much work and a huge drain on both cash and programmer/writer time, when two simple catch-alls would do. After all, we are talking about a few seconds of text screen at the end of a very, very, very very very long game. All this sounds sensible and straightforward. 1. Two epilogues. 2. Generic catch-all writing that vaguely paints a picture of "What If" after the game is over. ...except this is me writing a "do stupid things and push the coding envelope past the point of no return as I laugh manaiacally and whistle an ode to Terry Pratchett..."

cmorgan Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 So when folks posted over here about possible endings based on player choice, i just couldn't resist. It is like eating Doritos, only in writing. Or while writing. Though that gets the keyboard all messy, so scratch that last bit. No Doretos near keyboards when you are over 25 years of age. It is a new rule. This afternoon I played a game of "heck, why not', called on the Great Gods of Alternative History (Turtledove, Ed Greenwood, and anyone who wrote for TRS/WotSC while they merrily undid roleplaying reality not once, not twice, but *four* times). I added a literary nod to Vlad Taltos (you should find it easily enough), some more fun with play within a play within a play, etc., and here is the Epilogues Gone Wild™ result. Don't try this at home, folks. I am an untrained amateur hack. A professional trying this would die. You have to be completely off your rocker to even consider doing something this hair-brainedly stupid. But boy, was it FUN!!!

To quote Aran Whitehand himself, as written by the planar bard HaerDalis in the Geater Daggerford Incident, "Hells, no. Naught will split me from her side, nor she from mine own, but we be reasonable folk. If it were just us, we might even be pursuaded to let you roam around causin' mischief. But there be a little matter o' my daughter not growin' up where there be arch-devils, see... so I be takin' th' first turn to get my aggression all out, an' then my wife will be ready to start takin' you apart piece by piece.

Writings indicate that Aran remained active politically, protecting his wife and family from the vagraties of lords and kings.

cmorgan Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 MWWWWWAAAAHAHAHAHhahahahaha... now *that* is a set of interactive epilogues. I now retire to think of something suitably more insane to perpetrate upon the i.e. modding world. Link to comment
MissBehave Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Amazing! Now I get my happy ending. <3<3<3 Link to comment
Tempest Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Good grief. And here I thought I was going above and beyond with twelve epilogues for Darian. Godspeed, you crazy bastard. Link to comment
jastey Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 [Alignment shift: cmorgan: two point towars Chaotic Evil] For players, this is awesome. For modders, more of a nightmare. Anyways, I congratulate you for having them epilogues written! Link to comment
cmorgan Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 ..aaand with a little cleanup, some adjusting of .tra references, etc. voila... he lives on in immortal splendor. Of course now comes the hard part - adding the player choices to talks so that the correct bio plays. No problems will befall leaving everything at 0 for married and children, or even settig most of these on a dude - the romance active will screen most of that, and the only loophole is where a PC has chosen something like just wanting to be friends but not shut off the RA (for example, roleplaying "married but having an affair with Aran" or such). But if RA=2 and lifestyle or relation is not set to either 1, 2, or 3, we are going to be missing an epilogue.... so there will need to be some forced choice points for Global("c-aranepiloguerelation","GLOBAL",0) Global("c-aranepiloguelifestyle","GLOBAL",0) The basic pattern is 00 01 10 11 for marriage/kids, but it gets extended by relation/lifestyle 1 1 1 2 1 3 2 1 2 2 2 3 3 1 3 2 3 3 which is why itends up being so many epilogues. And even then, if a 0 shows up in the last setting when a friend ending" var isn't set, we have a loophole. Link to comment
