Darth Xander Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 If you put your new pc's name in these type of brackets e.g: {Darth Xile} the characters name won't show up in a lot of places. This function was used a lot by the people who made this game to hide some text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl Alt Del Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Interesting. That must be one of those text triggered by "And/or" events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ-W4 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 They needed to define a way to comment out things like: {Gameplay programmer says.... blah}. {} for commenting out are found in many Bioware and Bioware-related games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hah, cool. That must be one of those text triggered by "And/or" events. What are those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Xander Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 I believe that it is only to hide certain text. If you look at 904Kreia when she gasps before she spawns the three sabers. It says something about her hissing liek a hot stove! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Brackets were inserted into most of the game's dialogues by the devs so they could make comments in them without anything showing up in-game. It's not all that uncommon to see notes like '{make this NPC especially NPCrific if PC has high influence}' embedded in various lines. Surprising that they'd still allow brackets to be used in character names, though. NWN2 censored profane words from being used in them, so it's obviously not impossible to filter.

PoiuyWired Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Personally I think the name censor is kinda dumb. I would usually don't use profane names... but I would DEFINITELY make up some screwed names just cause some system is trying to pull a censor.

Aeroldoth Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 NWN2 censored profane words from being used in them, so it's obviously not impossible to filter. You mean for single-play? You're joking, right? Why on earth would a game company care what I call myself in my own game? MMOs I could see, but single-play?!? I was thinking that at some point I might buy NWN2. This would dampen that desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMOs I could see, but single-play?!?That's because some large distributors - like Walmart, mainly in the US - insist in such features. They want to have a say in the games they sell.

Serpentine Cougar Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Is the thing with the brackets only in the second game? I searched dialog.tlk using TalkEd for "{" but it didn't find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it uses a .2da file. There's a 'namefilter.2da' file in the KotOR/TSL .2da's, but it might be redundant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
