Late Game Dialog Fix #3

A couple months ago I downloaded this fix for Nasrudin.dlg.

It basically changes the goto, in order to recover two sets of speech-dialog explaining that Arronax destroyed Vendigroth, before going into the movie.
{84}{Of course. So what did Arronax actually do that was so terrible?}{}{5}{}{1505}{}//LATE GAME DIALOG FIX
{573}{Why Arronax so bad you bandish him?}{}{-4}{}{1505}{}//LATE GAME DIALOG FIX

Saturday I brought my idiot to Nasrudin and it wouldn't continue. I don't know how I got through previously, either by taking an IN potion, or dumping Virgil. So I discovered that the Bug-Fix-Patch is a Nasrudin FIX #2 that takes care of it.
{48}{Why dat? You kilt big bad Arospaz!}{}{-4}{}{569}{}//BUG FIX PATCH
{575}{Why Arronax so bad you bandish him?}{}{-4}{}{1505}{ru2117}//BUG FIX PATCH

Nasrudin.dlg still has a bunch of problems with roundabout dialog and options that only come up once:
"Are you aware there's a tribe here worshiping you?"
If you miss choosing that option - too bad. So the first time I played, I tried to write them down, but got frustrated. Then when I got access to the Nasrudin.dlg I tried fixing them, but gave up when Virgil's religious rant spits you back out at the wrong spot, causing you to repeat dialog.
"So have we all been running around half-cocked for 2000 years?"

So Saturday I went through to try to fix Nasrudin for good (and idiot). The text and stories work by having a result that sets a flag when you choose it, and a test so you don't get that option again. But sometimes it's missing - and I just had to add either the test, or the result. Other lines were missing like the idiot version of Virgil's religious rant. My fix makes me laugh:
{617}{Vir-gel, he say you gull-bull!}{}{-4}{pa 6409, gf2444 0}{-40}{ }//NEW LINE - CALL VIRGIL RELIGION

There were two things exceptionally tricky. One was finding room for the tribal dialog so you don't miss it and he'll mark your map. The second was the religion-spit-back. It needed changing. It makes it seem like this is the first time you've told him your story (which it might not be). If it is then it's supposed to spit you back in 1 of three areas:
#1-he tells you what he think happens to the BMC,
#2-you're evil, so you'll have to prove yourself,
#3-you're ok, so he'll tell you what you need to do.

Anyway, I had to add or modify so many lines (almost 50), but fortunately I only had to renumber one dialog to make the responses fit. A big deal is that after you leave, you can come back and ask questions. I also found more speech that should go after the movie. Some of it is duplicate, and the part about the boat is dumb. I grabbed the speech file and cut and paste it to make it like line #1520 indicates. You can leave that out until you modify the speech file yourself.

Here's a list of things you should get from his dialog (of course this whole thread is a spoiler):

Spoiler

QUEST Complete: Find Nasrudin.
QUEST Complete: Find out what happened to BMC.
QUEST: Get device and meet me at Ring of Brodgar.
QUEST (evil only): Kill the Bogaroth.
Rumor: Nasrudin is alive, etc.
Rumor: Arronax is Nasrudin's son.
Rumor: What the device should do.
Map location: Gateway to the Wastes.
Map location: Lair of the Bogaroth.
Global Flag 2089: PC sent to Vendigroth.

My changes follow:

I don't have my Nasrudin.scr transcript with me. Basically after the above it tests whether you are stupid or not to decide where to spit you into Nasrudin's dialog.

Also I changed the line after the movie runs, to get my recovered "wandered delerious" dialog (see several posts below).

 

forgot Nasrudin script

Sorry, I forgot to post my Nasrudin script changes so that Virgil's religion talk with jump to an appropriate place. I probably should have used "local 1" to save a line, but didn't want to go back to test the change.

01108nasrudin.scr
47. goto line 52

52. stat 4 of Player: store in Local 0
53. if Local 0 <= 4
THEN goto line 56
54. dialog 364
55. goto line 57
56. dialog 596
57. Local 0 = 0
58. return and SKIP default

 

Could you repost this as something that could be copied and pasted into the appropriate (or new) .dlg file. I don't just play an idiot in game ya know. Or just email me the fix.

 

Er.. that was the point of all those line # in brackets, so you could cut and paste into the files. And they still work with double slash remark comments:
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}//COMMENT

The files are:

01108Nasrudin.dlg
01885Virgil_Nasrudin_religion.dlg
01108nasrudin.scr

To get the first, you download either the Late_Game_Dialog_Fix, the Bug_Fix_Patch, or dlg.zip. And cut and paste into the appropriate lines.

To get the second, you need either dlg.zip or to undat the Arcanum3.dat file.

To get the third, you undat the same, I think, or download scr.zip. But for scripts I haven't found a way to cut and paste, so you have to use the scriptmonkey editor. Usually you'd want to put the later lines in first, then the gotos.

Then you save these files in Arcanum/data/dlg and Arcanum/data/scr directories respectively. Hope this helps.

I don't know what to do with my speech file modifications. Maybe someone who has authority to post such things under downloads can send me a private message?

 

ah geez, nvm, I just now noticed there is a .dlg and a .scr.... I was throwing everything into the .dlg

 

Don't forget the four or five lines from my first post. They weren't mine, they were from the two downloads, but I'll add them in to the big one (above).

PS: lines 1520 and 1521 won't show up in your game unless you modify the script line that normally takes you to dialog 90. Also, you'd have to use a .mp3 editor for the sound files to get that exact speech. As a result, I've moved them here:

//NEW LINES
{1520}{Fatigued and delirious, I stumbled off, barely able to see or walk.}{Fatigued and delirious, I stumbled off, barely able to see or walk.}{}{114}{}{}// MODIFIED DIALOG
{1521}{[More]}{}{1}{}{90}{ }

I'm not sure the name of the exact speech file at the mo., but it has a "114" in the title. The original says:
"With our remaining energy, we were able to seal the rift with powerful wards. I stumbled off, barely able to see or walk. Time passed, and I found myself at the water's edge. Fatigued and delirious, I crawled into an old abandoned boat and drifted aimlessly upon the seas of Arcanum. When I regained consciousness, I was on the shore of Thanatos."
