interact.2da

[Avenger]

Just a request for clarification:

Would interact.2da start the appropriate strrefs in the actor's string table?

Or it is connected to banters in B<actorname>.dlg files?

I guess the first.

Is this mechanism work in bg2/iwd/iwd2?

It seems to be working in bg1/pst, but possibly it works elsewhere.

 

(i want to implement this in GemRB, so a really precise definition is needed)

I'm not too clear on what you're actually asking. Start what appropriate strrefs? Actor's string table?

[Idobek]

It randomly calls strrefs from the actor's soundslots (which I'm guessing is what you mean by string table). I think it is linked to the character's happiness. IIRC when I had a reputation of 20 all the good characters were regularly spouting these lines.

i = insult

c = compliment

s = special

In BG1 the soundslots are named as such. In BG1 I think they're INSULT, COMPLIMENT3 and SPECIAL3. There are also MISCELLANEOUS (should be RESPONSE_TO_COMPLIMENT) and RESPONSE_TO_INSULT slots. These aren't used usually, so they might work if a new interact.2da table were made.

[Idobek]

I think the SPECIAL slot is used for a three way "banter" e.g. INSULT/COMPLIMENT -> RESPONSE_TO_INSULT/COMPLIMENT -> SPECIAL.

 

Hmmm... Actually I think there is more to it. It would have been nice if BioWare had named the soundslots better. I'll see if I can work out the correct order the slots are called in.
