New Mod? bg1npc - BG2 /Flirt pack continuity

[Domi]

If we are talking templates, I'd start with EXTEND_BOTTOM/ADD_STATE_TRIGGERs on Minsc's or Imoen's (Imoen is probably better since you can't avoid talking to her) original dialogue with a couple-three new PC options that will allow the eligible player to express the fact that he did romance Dynaheir and how he felt about it, set Globals from there that will activate the rest of the content, if the options were chosen and optionally taking into account PC's mood/etc.

[cmorgan]

Yep, cool idea: I actually have the info squirreled away on these states to help these folks when they get writing; just giving them the basic idea so they start posting dialog. Just a big game of "finish the sentence", and they would have a good basis for what they want done

 

EXTEND_BOTTOM  two joining dialogue states for Imoen;
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~textHere~ DO ~SetGlobal("DyPCRomance","GLOBAL",1) GOTO DyPCJustFriends
EXTEND_BOTTOM  two joining dialogue states for Imoen;
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~textHere~ DO ~SetGlobal("DyPCRomance","GLOBAL",2) GOTO DyPCRomantic
EXTEND_BOTTOM  two joining dialogue states for Imoen;
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~textHere~ DO ~SetGlobal("DyPCRomance","GLOBAL",3) GOTO DyPCBrokeUp

 

Label Imoen's CHAINs recoded correctly above with states and conditions and then

 

I_C_T minsc's state EXTERN Minsc's 3 possible chains

I_C_T jaheira's state EXTERN Jaheira's 3 possible chains

conclude with SetGlobals to 4 either BAF or on InParty(imoen)(minsc)(jaheira) response

[Domi]

What you also want to do is to add checks for each options so that a female PC do not see these replies (I guess you don't really need the add_trigger here, ie

 

IF ~Gender(Player1,MALE) CheckStatGT(Player1,11, WIS) CheckStatGT(Player1,11, INT)~ THEN REPLY ~textHere~ DO ~SetGlobal("DyPCRomance","GLOBAL",1) GOTO DyPCJustFriends

IF ~Gender(Player1,MALE) CheckStatGT(Player1,11, WIS) CheckStatGT(Player1,11, INT)~ THEN REPLY ~textHere~ DO ~SetGlobal("DyPCRomance","GLOBAL",1) GOTO DyPCJustFriends

 

Couple of questions:

1. why do you check for the WIS and INT in your query above? Is that to match the original conditions of qualifying for Dynaheir's romance?

2. can you confirm what the end states were for the D romance? Are they as Cmorgan laid out above? It would help to define what text needs to be written.

[cmorgan]

Which brings up another branch option; female PC responding to best friend's death...

 

Folks, do you see why Domi is hesitant here? A good, simple idea, that can rapidly expand into a full fledged 10000+ hour rebuild mod, just to add a few lines!

 

Still waiting for brave and interested souls to start playing with the text. Domi is way to busy, I stink at dialogue, and everyone else is around to help and comment, but this is your idea...

 

don't worry about the end states; write the dialogue you want the PC and actors to say. We will handle the integration and post here for you to tinker with. The point here is not to specifically match what globals were set, etc.... the player can do that by their reponse choice ("I wuvved her deeply, madly, truly" = 2, "Yo, Edwin was better all around" = 3, "I miss m' buddy"=1)

[Domi]

Is that to match the original conditions of qualifying for Dynaheir's romance?

 

I think so, but please, double-check, I wrote Shar, worked on Kivan, Valygar and seven original NPCs since Dyna, so my memory wavers Alignment will be restricted also, I guess.

 

As Cmorgan said, there is no use in trying to match romance globals from BG1, because by definition you initiate the mod 'from scratch' in BG2, allowing PC to chose that the romance as, as opposite to transfering the information from BG1 during transition. What will be more useful for you is to register a prefix at BWL and use it for your Globals so you prevent any potential conflicts.

I'm working on this now, but I'd like to get minsc's dialogue from the first scene in BG2 to work from. Do you know where I could get that?

Well, you'll need to do the following: install NI (Near Infinity) and WeiDU. Use NI to browse characters and find the name for Minsc's first dialogue. Then, using WeiDU tutorial (included into the install) learn how to decompile DLG files into D files, what Dialogue States are and the dialogue structure. After that it will become self-evident

Beautiful, gentlemen, thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for C. I work with computers so I'm not afraid of techie stuff When I can start on Phase II I'll being doing what you said there Domi.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think you'll find .

AAAahh my mistake, Dominique! very sorry! <sheepish grin> Catch you all a little later.

Whew. Ok, I got something down. Here it is, what do you think?

 

So I’m thinking we’ll just insert a new conversation item after Minsc introduces Dynaheir as a topic of conversation (Minsc ‘if-then’ sections 1-4?), and if the player chooses the new thread, then we assume that they were a male PC and successfully romanced Dynaheir through the end of BG1. Any other scenario would already be covered by the existing game, and hopefully phase II will take care of platonic grief for a lost companion.

Additionally, Imoen and Jaheira were also companions of D and knew of the PC and D’s romance.

 

=============

Minsc: etc. etc. dynaheir is dead…

PC: What!? No! Minsc, are you sure? We must find her immediately!

Minsc: No <charname>! She is gone! Boo and I have seen her fall with our very eyes! We could not help her… we… STINKING EVIL!!

PC: We’ll simply take her to a temple. She must be here! Come, let us find her!

Imoen: <charname>…

Minsc: She is gone from us! No.. No longer will my witch help us put the boot into evil. My witch…

Imoen: <charname>… she… we couldn’t help her even if we could find her. I’m sorry.

Jaheira: She has gone to meet the Creator. There is nothing we can do for her now.

PC: What do you mean?! We’ve lost people before! Why is she different!

Imoen: …Jaheira?

Jaheira: <charname>, please try to understand. Sometimes one cannot be returned from Nature after she has called them to her. We have been held in this… prison for some a time now. Whoever captured us left her behind. They were cruel, <charname>. Even had we the chance to find her… body, we could not help her. I also grieve for her loss, <charname>.

PC: This cannot be happening! Wh-what did they do to her? Why her?

Jaheira: <charname>, we cannot dwell on this now. We must escape as soon as possible. You must control your pain.

PC: No! Tell me now! How am I to accept this? I love her!

Imoen: (Puts a hand on <charname>’s arm) I’m so sorry, <charname>. I’m so sorry.

Jaheira: They hurt her badly, <charname>. You have seen too many battles not to know when a wound is mortal. We could do nothing for her. (pause) She looks upon us from a better place now. It is Nature’s course. It is better this way.

Minsc: No! It is not better that Evil has taken Dynaheir from Minsc and Boo and <charname>! This is not right!

Jaheira: That is not what I meant, Minsc. I meant… I meant that she is happy now, in the Light. We will all join her there some day. But for now, it is better for her to watch us and smile upon us. We will find those who did this, Minsc.

PC: I c-can’t believe this. Not my Dynaheir. N-not my Dynaheir…

Imoen: (Hugs <charname>) I miss her too, <charname>.

Imoen: …please, <charname> can we go? We’ll find them later. We have to leave now. Please?

PC: …

PC: (whispers) You’re right, Imoen. You’re right..

PC: We need to leave. And then I need to find whoever did this… I will avenge you, my dearest.

Cool start, but it assumes that Jaheira and imoen are both in the party. You might want to break it down so that Imoen (who doesn't take Imoen?!!??!) and Minsc carry the load, and Jaheira and Imoen only interact through Minsc. After all, you can pick up Jaheira, then Minsc, or you can pick up Minsc, then Jaheira, or you can just pick up Jaheira, or you can just pick up Minsc. The only person truly "forced" on you plot-wise is Imoen. To get an Idea of what I am saying, read the paragraph like this:

The thing that makes Domi the ArchMage of Character Development is not just her writing... it is constructing the chain so that if some of the people are present, the dialog works; if different people are present, it still works; and if all of the people are present, you have basically a fulll fledged movie scene.

[vtancredi]

Good point, I see what you are saying. I was sort of thinking of it as one of those cutscene kind of interactions, where you dont really have a choice, and the characters interject into the conversation. hmmm. I have to think about how to work it if we approach it like a normal choice based conversation.
