Icendoan, would the first Anomen conversion go like this:

BEGIN IJ#esirC



CHAIN

IF ~Global("EsiriakBanterAnomen1","LOCALS",0)

	InParty("IJ#esir")

	See("IJ#esir")

	!StateCheck("IJ#Esir",STATE_SLEEPING)~ THEN ANOMENJ Anomen-Esiriak1

~I am curious, Esiriak, as of why you do not offer your services to the Order? One with your... abilities would be of great value in the fight against evil.~

DO ~SetGlobal("EsiriakBanterAnomen1","LOCALS",1)~

== IJ#esirC ~Are you blind? Or just daft? I have the form of an Illithid, you fool! The Order would kill me on sight. I do not even wish to work with such dogs, anyway. Protectors of the weak, bah! Weak should be slaughtered to make way for the strong.~

== ANOMENJ ~Spoken like a true bastard. Bah, silence yourself, Illithid. I see now you are nothing but scum, as is all your race! <CHARNAME> protects you, but go too far and I will take matters into my own hands.~

== IJ#esirC ~Yes, do that, like you did when Saerk killed your pathetic sister.~

== ANOMENJ ~You dare!~

== IJ#esirC ~Yes, I dare, human! Now be silent or I'll tell more.~

END

Cool! Can I also have a listing of dialogue files and a dv please?

And @Jarno, yes, sort of. You don't have to BEGIN the dialogue, however, and chain only appends. (Also, banters/dialogue are MY job )

Oh, you need to EXIT on the last line of each banter, please!

And the CHAIN's need to start with an "IF ~" not with a "GLOBAL("EsiriakAerie","GLOBAL",1)", like the second one...

But I'll leave the dialog moding for you Icendoan, with this: I would have used (master) IJ#esir, (minor) IJ#EsirB, IJ#EsirC, IJ#EsirD... as my dialog files, while IJ#Esir was the death variable for Esiriak in the .cre file, thus also in the dialogs. All this is will be a subject to change if needed. I also adjusted the dialog a bit for the last Aerie-Esiriak talk.
Download the last one, if you want to know what.

Ok, sure. I will always get errors like this, especially when I type in the Quick Reply box! I just spotted that bug there.

This mod musta given you ulcers, I've already got 2

[Icendoan]

No, it just makes me more than a little tired, and I make mistakes like those. It is usually surface stuff that isn't amazingly hard to fix.

MOAR BANTAHS PL0X!

[Jarno Mikkola]

Again thanks for Icendoan. Should I remake the Death Variable & Prefix to E9 ? As always, not thoroughly checked v0.084 release, but it installs fine...
And a little word of warning, if you ask me to change the DV, I might just quit upgrading the mod.

...

Already and done the Cernds barters.

Few questions to Icendoan, of the differences in Globals:
Is it better to use same Global 0, 1, 2... or several 1.0.0.0.0.0, 1.1.0.0.0.0, 1.1.1.0.0.0 as it goes on like:

CHAIN
IF ~Global("EsiriakCernd2","GLOBAL",0)
	Global("EsiriakCernd1","GLOBAL",1)

Also I saw there was SetGlobal("EsiriakCernd1","GLOBAL",1) and SetGlobal("EsiriakCernd1","LOCALS",1) what's the difference? For these type of dialogs, probably the "GLOBAL"s.

Edited by Jarno Mikkola, 05 November 2008 - 04:51 AM.

[Icendoan]

Having EsiriakName as a GLOBAL would be better, and a GLOBAL can be referenced by other things. Can we put checks into the Anomen banters to make sure he is MHOotRH Approved, please!

== IJ#EsirC ~Naive fool! I escaped that place, and the only reason I have not been caught is that my... lords, cannot pinpoint me. This is why I remain moving, with you, insufferable though you are.~
== ANOMENJ ~I should have known it was for your own reasons. Do you not care for our lives, if your Lords found you?~
== IJ#EsirC ~No, I do not. Now shut your mouth, lest I rip those putrid skin flaps from your withered face.~ EXIT

DO ~SetGlobal("EsiriakAnomenN","GLOBAL",3)~
== ANOMENJ ~Oh, silence yourself, demon. I care not for your empty threats.~
== IJ#EsirC ~Hah. The Abyss would destroy you in less than an hour, with your magic filled with reveration to distant and callous gods, nor your withered mace or even your tongue will save you. Maybe I will give some introductions, to the minor there.~
== ANOMENJ ~I said silence. Hurl all the insults you wish, I will not be drawn into this pointless argument.~

Is Anomen, and that is all from me for today.

Not only does this look really interesting, but things actually seem to be getting done ... before my very eyes! Good job, guys. I can't wait to play this - a new idea, and a different style of NPC, for sure. I hope he's not too overpowered, though.

[Icendoan]

Due to the code I send Jarno, it isn't, and this character is being more complex by the minute. Due to how easy I am finding banters, I might make my own NPC mod, or code for another... After this, possibly Morgrin and KY.

Ups, well, I found bug by looking my code and so I fixed it.

Having EsiriakName as a GLOBAL would be better, and a GLOBAL can be referenced by other things. Can we put checks into the Anomen banters to make sure he is MHOotRH Approved, please!

We actually should take a variable from Anomens barters within the quest to make sure...
And due to not knowing one, I haven't implemented your code into the release, but thanks anyway!

Yes, we should take a room so we can make out... Did I just say that? It sounded really gay, and not the happy sort. I swear I didn't meant it...
