Taris technical difficulties (KotoR)

[Revan's Soul]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm working on a mod for Taris and it's going rather well, but I've created NPC's with dialogues and their presence has some strange side-effects. For example, a (reskinned) Twil'ek male bartender's tentacles are transparent from the neck down. When playing as a female character, I come into the part of Javyar's cantina where he spawns and all the patrons are dead (or drop dead when I enter), lying next to or under their tables (suspect some are missing in the cantina as well no femme fatale jokes pls, friend already took care of that one) and oh yes, Larrim doesn't have a head anymore. Headless merchant prowling the corridors of the North Apartments. Scares the hell out of the janitor, I can tell you that.

 

I'm thinking the tentacle thing is a texture thing, I must be missing something. I'm sure I'll be able to sort Larrim (prolly accidentally overwrite) & the texture thing out, but the onenter has me puzzled. I'm guessing the dead patrons have to do with the onenter script I modified for Javyar's, but when I test the mod playing as a guy, everything's normal I think the executescript isn't firing properly, but why would it work for the male char and not the female one? I moved it around in the script a little, but that hasn't helped.

 

This is the script:

 

// k_ptar_a03ae_en.nss

 

void main()

{

object oEntering = GetEnteringObject();

object oPC=GetFirstPC();

 

if (GetIsPC(oEntering))

{

int iGender = GetGender(GetFirstPC());

if (iGender == GENDER_FEMALE)

{

if (!GetIsObjectValid(GetObjectByTag("TMBartender")))

{

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "tar03_mbartender", Location(Vector(85.15,110.95,0.0), 0.0));

}

}

else

{

if (!GetIsObjectValid(GetObjectByTag("TFBartender")))

{

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "tar03_fbartender", Location(Vector(85.15,110.95,0.0), 0.0));

}

}

}

ExecuteScript("old_k_ptar_a03ae_en", OBJECT_SELF);

}

 

Thanks in advance for any advice .

Hey there! I think I see one or two things. I must say, your code is a little hard to read, without tabbing in on those if statements... just a thought, you may do that already and lost it with the cut and paste....

 

Your code follows, my change will be in dark orange

 

// k_ptar_a03ae_en.nss

void main()
{
 object oEntering = GetEnteringObject();
 object oPC=GetFirstPC();

 if (GetIsPC(oEntering)) {
   int iGender = GetGender(GetFirstPC());
   if (iGender == GENDER_FEMALE) {
         if (!GetIsObjectValid(GetObjectByTag("TMBartender"))) {
             CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "tar03_mbartender", Location(Vector(85.15,110.95,0.0), 0.0));
         }
   } [color=darkorange]//This bracket closes your first if, IIRC. Thus, the else is not occurring properly. I may be dead wrong)[/color]
   else
   {
         if (!GetIsObjectValid(GetObjectByTag("TFBartender"))) {
             CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "tar03_fbartender", Location(Vector(85.15,110.95,0.0), 0.0));
         }
   }
 } [color=darkorange]//This bracket closes your main script, thus the ExecuteScript is dead before it starts.[/color]
       ExecuteScript("old_k_ptar_a03ae_en", OBJECT_SELF); 	
}

 

Also, the Twilek bartender thing is obvious to me, you are using a twilek head and not a twilek full body model or twilek bod/head (do they exist separately?) The lekku are incorporated into the body skin.

thanks qui_gon_glenn, that fixed the script! the patrons live again, And I figured out the Twil'ek thing - I forgot to include the txi file oh yes and Larrim is no longer headless.

Excellent! I am happy to have been helpful!

 

Glad you worked out the Twi'lek issue
