Dialogue Problem...

So I'm following AMTUT, and I got to the dialogue chapter in part 3. Anyways, I did everything he says to do, but I don't get the error that he mentions here:

So I tried it out in Arcanum anyways, hoping that it would work, even though what was supposed to happen didn't, and as I expected - it didn't work. The NPC still just gives the usual floating text above his head stuff.

Can anyone please help?

Thank you

 

BEFORE YOU WILL READ MY POST... JUST SHOW ME HOW LOOKS YOUR DLG FILE, BECAUSE I THINK THATS THE PROBLEM...

Your script have to have name like this:
xxxxxTEXT.scr and dialog must have the same name xxxxxTEXT.dlg where xxxxx is a number of script.

The simple script looks like this:

dialog N (nuber of line in your xxxxxTEXT.dlg)
return and SKIP def.

Remember that to attache the script in to NPC you have to check DIALOG option, and than on the bottom fill the nuber of script.

Rember that dialog must begin from NPC line, so this line always look like this:

{N}{Text to man}{Text to woman}{}{}{}{}

If it still not work, try to use an other number for the script. I know that some numbers just dont want to work.


And dont worry about ERROR, this Error will show up only when you open WORLD EDIT before saving your new script. So if you first save the scr file and than open WorldEd.exe, will be no error at all. Because Editor will have time during opening to load this script to his memory.

 

Everything that you and him says to do I did. And I did have world edit opened before saving it. And yes, I already tried restarting world edit, and it still doesn't work :/

 

send me your dlg-file

mackan AT tlen.pl

Actually I can make for you simple DIALOG MODULE to show you how it work and send it to you if you want.

AND ONE MORE THING...

Are you trying to edit orginal ARCANUM module? or just do your own module?

 

Okay, I just sent it. And at the moment I am just trying to make my own module

 

So I hope youre 00001Dwarwen_Smithy.dlg is in Arcanum/modules/YOURMODULENAME/dlg catalog

and your 00001Dwarwen_Smithy.src is in Arcanum/modules/YOURMODULENAME/src catalog

---
I just put your dlg file into my test module.
I wrote a script named 00001Dwarwen_Smithy.src
0. Dialog 1
1. Return and SKIP

I checked in my NPC field DIALOG and put in to script ID nuber 1.

So be sure if youre dlgs and scrs are in right catalogs.

In my case it looks like this:
Arcanum/modules/tests/dlg/00001Dwarwen_Smithy.dlg
Arcanum/modules/tests/src/00001Dwarwen_Smithy.src

 

Well, they're in the right folders, I have the dialogue box checked, and I have it set to script number 1, and it doesn't work...

I'm so confused!!! :-(

 

Did you compile your module?, well I will send you my Testmod, in zip file. Unpack it just and see if it work in your computer.

In this mod is only NPC and dialogue.

---
and please tell me if you got an e-mail. I send it just before moment

 

Well, I got the e-mail, but it says "File cannot be scanned for viruses because there are too many zip files" or something like that :-?

So yeah, I can't open it :/

 

Ok will put this file on the server. I will edit this post soon and give you an adress.

 

k, thanks

 

Or I will make new post and pit adress here. http://www.pewro.pwr.aiesec.pl/~maciej. ... k/test.rar

 

Nope, the dialogue in your mod doesn't work either...

 

so poblem is more serius. Did you install any patches? are you sure that you put my module in to Arcanum/modules/chrstmasegg?

Maybe yous should reinstal your Arcanum?
what version of WorldEd do you use? And what Arcanum version?
Did you make something with dat files?

In my computer my module work correct. So I think there is something wrong with your Arcanum. Try to reinstall the game maybe.

(I hope you unpack this rar )

Maybe, send me your module with Dialog, and I will check in my computer this. If it will be works, it means that you should reinstall your arcanum.

 

I am using 1.074 for Arcanum and 1.070 for WorldEd, and yes, I'm sure that I put it in Arcanum/modules/chrstmasegg.

Where can I upload my module? 'Caus it's too big to send over email :/

 

Just create new module, with one NPC and Dialogue.

 

No, I mean what website can I upload my mod to?

 

www.rapidshare.com would be a possibility.

 

Damnit, Rapidshare doesn't let me upload folders either. Do you have AIM or MSN or Xfire or something?

 

Just, make small 1MB mod with dialogue, pack this using rar, and send to me. I want only see, if your dialogue will work with my Arcanum. Or compile this mode and send me compiled file.
