Dialogue Editing Conditionals Question (TSL)

[clydeski]

Been looking at the 650jedi.dlg in TSL. Best I can tell is if there are multiple possible responses for the non PC in the dialogue, the 1st one that meets the conditionals is the one selected. If there are no conditionals on the first possible response, than none of the following possible responses will ever be used. For an example, if you look at 650jedi.dlg in 650dan_dlg.erf there are several examples of this under entry 0, entery 231 and 228, if I'm correct, 228 will never execute, (i've never seen it) because 231 has no conditions it will always execute. Several other examples of the same thing latter in the file and in other .dlg files for the 650dan area.

 

I extracted the file using Kotor Tool and viewed it using tk102's dialogue editor, ver 2.2.4.

 

Am I even close, or just very confused?

 

Thanks.

This is correct, the first entry that meets the conditional (with no script the conditional is always met) is the one selected. The entries that never get used in this and many other DLG files are old leftover junk from previous stages of the game development. Rather than risk breaking anything the developers usually let the old entries stay in the DLG file since they'd never be used in-game anyway.

Thanks Stoffe.

 

There was so much stuff in there that isn't being used, I had almost convinced myself I must be reading something wrong.

 

Also, thanks for developing the TSL Patcher, it's a great tool.

 

Also really liked your highlevel force powers. Both playing it in the game, and reading the source to see how ya did it.
