"Garrick's Infatuation" allows Gorion's foster daughter to explore a closer acquaintance with her very first biographer through a series of 25 conversations. The flirtation is available to females of any race, class, or alignment and it begins shortly after Garrick is recruited. The mod is intended for the Baldur's Gate segment of the saga and is fully compatible with the BG1 NPC Project, though the latter is not required. At present, the EasyTutu, BG Tutu, or the BGT conversion is required. This mod is designed to work with Baldur's Gate Tutu, EasyTutu, or Baldur's Gate Trilogy, with or without the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion. It should be fully compatible with all other WeiDU mods. The mod is currently available for Windows. Once beta-testing is concluded, Mac OSX and Linux versions will become available. Q: Are there romance requirements? A: There is a gender requirement. Garrick prefers ladies. Q: Do any of the dialogues require specific conditions (at an inn, etc.)? A: No. Q: Can I play it on vanilla Baldur's Gate? A: Not yet. Eventually, that feature will be implemented, but the timers will need to change. Q: No music? A: It's a beta. Version 1 will have music. Q: Are there romance conflicts with any other NPCs? A: No. It's flirtation, nothing more. Q: Who should I talk to about bugs? A: Er... an exterminator? Use the bug-report thread. Domi wrote the mod, but berelinde is maintaining it. Q: I have other questions. A: That isn't a question. But if there's something you want to know, ask here.

No time to type much; will fill in more details later. Short course: Timers are set for FTs, LTs, NPC-Initiated flirts. Staggering content so they don't bunch up is relatively simple... until you give players choices on how long the timers work. Unsolvable problem in the long run, as starting/stopping flirts, starting/stopping romances, and talks that require specific conditions to fire will all throw them off, and the engine itelf seems to like to randomly wait much longer than the actual established timer (observation only, not proven). But, a partial solution, coded and installed in Aran's latest pre-Beta stuff: set everything up using OUTER_SET depending on the player choice. in c-aran.baf CODE /* ROMANCE TALKS */ /* * Romance Match and Initiation (He is not picky...) * One new thing here - Aran is ok if a friend switches genders - * but not so much on the romance side. So, we add a blocking variable * to make sure nothing progresses while that silly Girdle is in place. * He can have some special lines to play during the FT sequence on that. */ IF Global("c-aranmatch","GLOBAL",0) // Not evaluated Gender(Player1,FEMALE) // Player1 is female InParty(Myself) // Aran is here !StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) // Aran is ok !StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) // Player1 is ok !HasItemEquiped("belt05",Player1) // Girdle of sex change not on Player1 THEN RESPONSE #100 // 100% of the time SetGlobal("c-aranmatch","GLOBAL",1) // Matched SetGlobal("c-aranrom","GLOBAL",1) // Aran is interested END /* Berelinde: Please consider staggering your flirts and your dialogues.

WARNING. This thread contains swearing, poor depiction of prurient actions, reference to anatomy, and even a bawdy song. Do not read this thread if any of that offends you. You can also skip it is derivitave writing, poor spelling, and a high number of typos offends you, but I would much rather have you help me root those things out than skip the whole thing Underdark. A Pain in a Modder's Bottom. The entire Chaper 5 sequence is hard to work out. A player could be right there at very low level having raced for Imoen in Spellhold, they could be at very high level and 99% finished a romance (or two), and there is the whole "hey, how do I account for the Drow appearance being on, off, or ignored?". Then there is the lovely idea that some players will want to flirt and talk, but most normal denizens of Faerun see Underdark as a place of hell on earth, so to speak. Drow and Koa Toa and other strange beasties are the stuff of nightmares, and this is their home. Not many people say "Hey, all this danger and rot around us is kind of exciting - let's get it on!", unless they are about to become Slasher Victim #217, Second Class, Screaming, Death By Chainsaw. Or perhaps Girl Who Shows Bra And Therefore Dies In A Fountain Of Blood™. There are lots of ways of dealing with this, from NPCs that are specifically Underdark - Only, to the Flirtpack's single response "Not now honey, that mushroom over there is looking at us and trying to figure out how to kill us", to Edwin's Flirts which embrace the Drow appearence and script it with CODE + ~G("EdwinRomanceActive", 2) G("PlayerLooksLikeDrow", 1) Global("ERDrow", "LOCALS", 0)~ + ~Ask Edwin how he likes being a Drow.~ DO ~SetGlobal("ERDrow", "LOCALS", 1) ActionOverride(Player1, SetDialog("ERPlayer"))~ + Drow1 So, let's play around with Aran and his reactions to Underdark. On the one hand, if it is a female <CHARNAME> and she says "come here, big boy", he is going to want to grab her and make lots of little <CHARNAME>s, or at least try to. On the other hand, she currently looks like a Drow. And like any decent Faerunian human, the only good Drow in existence is drizzt, and most folks think he is just a myth, or a lie - without a disguse, he can't walk more than a few paces without being accosted - at least in most of the early books. And if <CHARNAME> is a dude, the flirts are left out, and things become easier - a disguise is a disguise. But there needs to be some kind of reaction because when your best bud looks like the enemy and is in enemy uniform, it is dark, smoky, and spooky, lit occasionally by phosphorus glow, etc... can you say "friendly fire"? So, a stab at building some interesting stuff into the Underdark. By now, most of the dialog code should be easy to read, after all the walkthroughs - nothing particularly new or interesting code-wise here, other than playing with some LOCALS and an occasional fun jaunt into hijack-states-land. We can save the Friendship Talks specific to Underdark for another day. here is the second or third pass at the PID (including Underdark-specific flirts).

There are a few states not fully fleshed out left over in the PID "I am in an inn and have decided to try to talk to ARAN" - sample code: /* female in an inn, cyclical */ IF ~Gender(Player1,FEMALE) RealGlobalTimerExpired("c-aranflirttimer","GLOBAL") Global("c-innflirts","GLOBAL",0) OR(12) AreaCheck("AR0313") AreaCheck("AR0406") AreaCheck("AR0509") AreaCheck("AR0522") AreaCheck("AR0704") AreaCheck("AR1105") AreaCheck("AR1602") AreaCheck("AR2010") AreaCheck("AR0709") AreaCheck("AR0513") AreaCheck("AR0021") AreaCheck("AR1602")~ THEN BEGIN a762 SAY ~[PC] (The musicians have struck up a lively dance tune, and Aran is sitting at the bar.)~ ++ ~[PC] (You go over to him.)~ DO ~IncrementGlobal("c-aranflirt","GLOBAL",1) SetGlobal("c-innflirts","GLOBAL",1) RealSetGlobalTimer("c-aranflirttimer","GLOBAL",500)~ + a796 ++ ~[PC] (You decide you have had enough him for right now, and carry on about your business.)~ EXIT ++ ~[PC] (You take the opportunity to check through his belongings.)~ DO ~SetGlobal("c-araninncheck","GLOBAL",1)~ + c_aran_lettercheck_f ++ ~[PC] (You sit quietly, observing him, but not making eye contact.)~ DO ~IncrementGlobal("c-pcstalker","LOCALS",1)~ EXIT ++ ~[PC] (You flirt shamelessly with several patrons, occasionally glancing over at him.)~ DO ~IncrementGlobal("c-pcstalker","LOCALS",1)~ EXIT END /* Inn #1 */ IF ~~ a796 SAY ~[ARAN] Aye now, you are a sight for sore eyes.~ ++ ~[PC] So you like this dress? I was getting a bit tired of wearing the same functional clothing all the time.~ + a797 ++ ~[PC] I should have known you would be here. I suppose you have already chosen your evening's entertainment?~ + a799 ++ ~[PC] Dance with me.~ + a807 ++ ~[PC] Like I care what you think.~ + a811 ++ ~[PC] (Walk over and grab his chin, kissing him solidly on the lips).~ + a805 + ~RandomNum(2,1)~ + ~[PC] I want a bath. Do you know where they are?~ + a1808 + ~RandomNum(2,2)~ + ~[PC] Teach me to scribe something new.~ + a2057 + ~RandomNum(2,1)~ + ~[PC] I want a bath, and some time to relax. Come on, show me where they are around here.~ + c_2_aran_bathflirt + ~RandomNum(2,2)~ + ~[PC] Teach me to scribe something new.~ + a2057 END There are three of these, and they cycle with a timer, so the first PID attempt in an inn gets one and then the timer blocks it and regular PID happens. This gives the PC a shot at partying a bit or not, as she or he sees fit. They cycle - every thrid time, a set of two random things become available - either the "teach me to scribe" or In this case, it is the female "teach me to scribe something new" state that gets the full treatment. So, the good news is that if a player wants to repeat the same kinds of interaction, they get 3 different cycle sets, each with a random pair of entries, each with several possible outcomes - by the time we follow this all the way, you could replay the same state a very large number of times and get different interactions each time. This is actually an exercise in futility from a design standpoint. The reason folks stick with the "Looping Lovetalk" or branches that have A > [123] > B [123] > C EXIT is that creating this level of detail is hugely difficult and time consuming, can obscure the plot/point of the discussion, and can delay completion of the mod for a long, long time. In this case, since I am having fun pushing all sorts of boundaries and playing with ideas, I can go ahead and do it - but I don't have to have a huge storyline or plot develop. In a Companion mod, the whole story is the interaction between the PC and his/her companion. Outside events have some impact, of course. This week's work, untested, and un-typo hunted, and un-spellchecked. The main alpha file has had the first bathing scene integrated and state-labeled, installed, and decompiled for recheck - but not tested. WARNING. NC-17.

Like the swordfight materials, I think the 'make-out session" and RE-style things can be safely manipulated this way.

Ah, the Flirtpack - feel the love. In my opinion, a really good addition to your BG2 game, if you are pursuing an in-game romance. From a roleplaying perspective, why does the player have to initiate everything? If the attraction is mutual, why wouldn't the NPC in question try a little to let you know that you might just be a candidate for the position of That Special Someone? Completely useless for powergamers and folks who want to play quests without the distractions of additional banter. Also not the best addition for folks who want to keep to the "early teen years" rating (though the 10 - 14 year olds I teach know more about hooking up than one would ever want to believe). But Aran is designed as a Companion Mod, so he should probably flirt a little bit. Or alot, as the case may be. WARNING: Soap Opera Style Innuendo And Language Present. If You Have To Ask If You Are Old Enough To Read This, You Aren't. So, let's hit source material for code.

In a general sense, he is setting up Aerie's script aerie.bcs with a set of commands that will cause the equivalent of a "PID" or "Force-Talk" at prearranged times. He has a few things that have become as close to canonical in mod authoring as can be had within such a disparate group of rugged individualists: In the first block, he checks for a potential or active Aerie romance, and sets a timer for progress. Notice it also doesn't start until the 4th lovetalk, so the player isn't tackled by Nympomaniac Aerie before they have gotten to know eachother a bit... In the second block, AreaCheck screening out of any places where flirting would be really silly: PC: "Heya, oh Drow-Disguised Aran... you look hot tonight" ARAN:"Sune's Sultry Sandals, girl, you want to blow our cover? Eh... well... didn't mean no... shouldn't o' used "blow" an' "cover", in th' same sentence. Damn your bright eyes, stop laughin' like that, you will call in th' entire Underdark!" Same block, G("FWDisableFlirts",0) checked as a screening variable so that if a player finds the flirts not to their liking they can shut them off.

mod authoring: FLIRTS NOT TALKS. Initiation from the NPC = line, silent transition to a new state, response, exit. From the PC = line, player chooses an action, NPC gives response, exit. Otherwise, they are LoveTalks or Banters With Benefits. Use of IncrementGlobal() to track the number of flirts. Other mods, like berelinde's Gavin, Jastey's Ajantis, and a whole raft of other mods that track the PC responses (both positive and negative) have expanded that idea using IncrementGlobal("myGlobal","GLOBAL",1) and IncrementGlobal("myGlobal","GLOBAL",-1) to track player responses as seen from Use of RandomNum(#,#) to generate varied responses to the same basic action/dialog path taken by the player. Use of a "toggle" to turn a specific state on and then off again via script. NOTE: The Flirt Pack uses BioWare style toggles, standard for several years of i.e. modding, setting them active and then inactive via script. Modern usage is usually the safer "toggle on in script, toggle off and set timer in dialog". There are positives and negatives for both ways of doing this, but the current "industry standard" says that the best way to ensure that everything you have done in your own mod works correctly is to use dialog to close the variable as mauch as possible. So why don't we just do exactly what JCompton did, copying the code, and swapping in new values? I mean, why mess with success? Well, basically, that is what we are doing. But we can't just crib the code wholesale; for one thing, the package was coded before every NPC and their brother had PIDs. Look carefully at the player initiated flirts, and you see a conditionally modified PID. With IsGabber(Plaayer1) and then a second condition, JCompton switches in a new equivalent of a PID based on the globals and situation; for another look at this, look up the way Ajantis' PID is set up by Jastey in BG1NPC based on romance/no-romance conditions. So we would have hassles with Aran's PID. For our usage, we will borrow most of these ideas and reformat them into two separate sets of materials, one accessed as part of the PID made as a decision led from a single state, and the NPC-initiated flirts set up as an independent group of talks on thier own modifiable timer. For existing examples of that kind of work, here is an example from berelinde's code development in Gavin (the BG content, as the BG2 content is not yet available): IF InParty(Myself) TimeOfDay(DUSK) AreaType(OUTDOOR) Global("B!GavinDuskFlirt","GLOBAL",0) See(Player1) !See([ENEMY]) CombatCounter(0) !Global("B!DisableFlirts","GLOBAL",1) !Global("B!GavinQuietLover","GLOBAL",1) Global("B!GavinRomanceMatch","GLOBAL",1) !Global("B!GavinWoman","GLOBAL",1) //Gavin won't conduct his romance while he's female !StateCheck("B!GAVIN",CD_STATE_NOTVALID) !StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) THEN RESPONSE #100 SetGlobal("B!GavinDuskFlirt","GLOBAL",1) PlaySong(0) PlaySound("BGAV_SS") StartDialogNoSet(Player1) END firing the related .d, CHAIN IF ~Global("B!GavinDuskFlirt","GLOBAL",1)~ THEN ~B!GAVINJ~ BGavinDuskFlirt ~You know, <CHARNAME>, there was a time, not long ago, when the approach of evening would fill me with dread. I would watch the sun sinking on the horizon, and I would not see the beauty of the sunset, but the mockery of the dawn. There was no promise of a new day, just the cold emptiness of night.~ = ~I never realized how beautiful the sunset could be.~ DO ~SetGlobal("B!GavinDuskFlirt","GLOBAL",2)~ EXIT Here we see some modern flirt components: PlaySong(0) and PlaySound("myWAV") to stop background music and play a romance-related sound cue Highly tailored conditions for some flirts, so that they respond directly to the game situation (TimeOfDay, AreaType, added conditional blockers for waering a Girdle of Gender Change, etc.) Slightly longer flirts, with more speech than action (in this case). Let's use most of these ideas, both Old Skool and Modern. First up, let's set up Aran a good batch of what Friends® character Joey would call "Heya, how YOU doin'" materials. Playing With Ideas First up, an addition of two swap in/swap out lines to ~C-ARANJ~ to be integrated into a few friend talks and love talks, but mostly into the PID: /* Stop or Restart Flirting Duo */ IF ~Global("c-aranflirtstop","GLOBAL",0) OR(2) Global("c-aranromance","GLOBAL",1) Global("c-aranromance","GLOBAL",2)~ THEN REPLY ~[PC] You have to stop coming up to me and flirting.

I miss your company.~ + c-aranrestartflirts /* Restart Flirting Duo Finished */ IF ~~ c-aranrestopflirts SAY ~[ARAN] Tymora's against me today, I see. She's a fickle one, that one. Right. Business only. Got it.~ IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("c-aranflirtstop","GLOBAL",1)~ EXIT END IF ~~ c-aranrestartflirts SAY ~[ARAN] Sune's... well, I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't thinkin' about it. Can't figure if you want me to express appreciation, or not. Women. Naught but trouble, they are.~ IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("c-aranflirtstop","GLOBAL",0)~ EXIT END These will allow a player eligible or in the romance to start and stop Aran initiating flirting. we could go back and make these more interesting, but let's move on for now. Instead of relying on lots of conditions and checks in the J-File, we will set up most of the action via script. We set up four blocks in the BCS. We are also going to steal an idea from Lord Ernie and Bri's Tashia, and create a blocking variable that will send things off if PC and Aran are in a fight, using c-aranfight. We also want a bunch of these - some players like flirting, others don't. But on Mega Installs, things tend to run out, or repeat. So let's put a whole bunch of random entries, to spice thins up a little. Unless they are incredibly flirt-happy, no person will see all those in one game; but that is even better, as Aran will suprise folks if someone actually tries him a second time. Reminder - area list for BG2 The first block on C-ARAN.BCS, setting up when Aran feels like he can try his hand at a flirt or two: /* Set Up Flirting After 3 FTs + 3 LTs */ IF Global("c-aranpcflirtstart","GLOBAL",0) GlobalGT("c-aranfriendbg2","GLOBAL",6) GlobalGT("c-aranrombg2","GLOBAL",6) OR(2) Global("c-aranromance","GLOBAL",1) Global("c-aranromance","GLOBAL",2) THEN RESPONSE #100 SetGlobal("c-aranpcflirtstart","GLOBAL",1) RealSetGlobalTimer("c-aranflirttimer","GLOBAL",ARAN_FLIRT) END and if things get going pretty well on the flirting front, advance the PDAs... /* Player likes to flirt, 12 interactions by either Aran or PC without shutting him down */ IF Global("c-aranpcflirtstart","GLOBAL",1) OR(2) Global("c-aranromance","GLOBAL",1) Global("c-aranromance","GLOBAL",2) GlobalGT("c-aranflirt","GLOBAL",12) THEN RESPONSE #100 SetGlobal("c-aranpcflirtstart","GLOBAL",2) RealSetGlobalTimer("c-aranflirttimer","GLOBAL",ARAN_FLIRT) END Now the first set of flirts, lightweight, unsure of PDAs (Public Display Of Affection) /* Lightweight Flirts */ IF Global("c-aranpcflirtstart","GLOBAL",1) RealGlobalTimerExpired("c-aranflirttimer","GLOBAL") Global("c-aranflirtstop","GLOBAL",0) Global("c-aranfight","GLOBAL",0) OR(2) Global("c-aranromance","GLOBAL",1) Global("c-aranromance","GLOBAL",2) See(Player1) !StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) !StateCheck("c-aran",CD_STATE_NOTVALID) CombatCounter(0) !AreaCheck("AR2100") // Underdark !AreaCheck("AR2101") // Beholder Cave in Underdark !AreaCheck("AR2102") // Adalon's Cave !AreaCheck("AR2200") // Ust Natha !AreaCheck("AR2201") // Temple in Ust Natha !AreaCheck("AR2202") // Inn in Ust Natha 1st Floor !AreaCheck("AR2203") // Inn in Ust Natha; 2nd Floor !AreaCheck("AR2204") // House in Ust Natha !AreaCheck("AR2205") // House in Ust Natha !AreaCheck("AR2206") // Qilue's House in Ust Natha !AreaCheck("AR2207") // Deirex's Tower in Ust Natha !AreaCheck("AR2208") // Jarlaxle's House wherever !AreaCheck("AR2209") // Jae'llat's House !AreaCheck("AR2210") // Deirex's Cave !AreaCheck("AR2400") // Mind Flayers in Underdark !AreaCheck("AR2401") // Cave Between Underdark and Exit from Underdark !AreaCheck("AR2402") // Kuo Toa in Underdark THEN RESPONSE #100 SetGlobal("c-aranlightflirt","GLOBAL",1) PlaySong(0) PlaySound("c-aranlt") StartDialogNoSet(Player1) END and the resulting toggled "light flirts" APPEND ~C-ARANJ~ IF ~Global("c-aranlightflirt","GLOBAL",1)~ THEN BEGIN c-aranflirtswithpc1 SAY ~(Aran's weatherbeaten face turns towards you, and he moves close by your side.)~ /* Random Light Flirts */ IF ~RandomNum(20,1)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1hale IF ~RandomNum(20,2)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1hearty IF ~RandomNum(20,3)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1eyes IF ~RandomNum(20,4)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1face IF ~RandomNum(20,5)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1bust IF ~RandomNum(20,6)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1legs IF ~RandomNum(20,7)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1touch IF ~RandomNum(20,8)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1joke IF ~RandomNum(20,9)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1look IF ~RandomNum(20,10)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1blush IF ~RandomNum(20,11)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1ink IF ~RandomNum(20,12)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1writing IF ~RandomNum(20,13)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1tease1 IF ~RandomNum(20,14)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1tease2 IF ~RandomNum(20,15)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1tease3 IF ~RandomNum(20,16)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1tease4 IF ~RandomNum(20,17)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1tease5 IF ~RandomNum(20,18)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1tease6 IF ~RandomNum(20,19)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1tease7 IF ~RandomNum(20,20)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1tease8 IF ~HPPercentLT(Player1,50)~ THEN GOTO c-aranflirt1heal END IF ~~ c-aranflirt1hale SAY ~[ARAN] (You notice Aran's gaze lingering on you.
