ooop aaaaack...

ToB it is.

I will take a quick look and grab the correct F_E_I_G calls; do you want them posted here, or do you want me to update the docs and the mod and repost up in the SHS beta section for you?

I trust you.

[cmorgan]

OK - will push to get it done this afternoon, pending family stuff - at the latest, Monday night.

ACTION_IF/REQUIRE_PREDICATE FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~ar6200.are~ THEN BEGIN should work for both Tutu and BGT if it requires ToB.

Confirmed in EasyTutu, as well - updating mod...

Test installed on BGT and EasyTutu_ToB and EasyTutu_ToB_BETA. Link sent to you, Ascension64, as you are the chief dude on this - ready for mirror update.

Nice work. You might want to mask the author's email, at least from the forum post. I seem to recall CamDawg having some sort of gimmick for doing this in tp2 code too.

[cmorgan]

Good catch - sorry - edited out the email.

Now all Grave needs is either to decide he really wants to have some fun after all and take up the dialogue and quest writing,

or someone else comes along who wants to have this particular team fleshed out. I'm knocking this off my list and heading back to the big projects.

Thank you very much for updating this mod cmorgan.

no problem - Ascension64 did the hard work - I just added bells and whistles and dusted off the doormat. Have fun playing

No, no, the bells and whistles are what it's all about. Who cares about the steam engine that makes the sled move.

An opportunity to try this in a non-totsc tutu would be great. I do understand though if it's not feasible

Well, it certainly is feasible, and if you remove cmorgan's install check, you'll probably just get missing items. One of the original goals of Grave's was to use ToB-specific items in his mod. I'm sure Mulgore and Xavia could have a nerfed version at some stage.

I don't think there are any ToB TotSC-specific items, or any items at all in the mod. Just the two CREs, their portraits, sounds, some (minimal) dialogue and their spawning script. Which, right now, puts them in Ulgoth's Beard Inn, meaning it won't work for non-TotSC BG. You could change this to something like the following:

ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~%UlgothsBeard_Inn_Script%.BCS~ THEN BEGIN
EXTEND_BOTTOM ~%UlgothsBeard_Inn_Script%.BCS~ ~MulgoreXaviaNPC/scripts/%UlgothsBeard_Inn_Script%.BAF~
EVALUATE_BUFFER
END ELSE BEGIN
COMPILE EVALUATE_BUFFER ~MulgoreXaviaNPC/scripts/%UlgothsBeard_Inn_Script%.BAF~
EXTEND_BOTTOM ~%Some_Other_non-TotSC_long_named_script_variable%.BCS~ ~MulgoreXaviaNPC/scripts/%Ditto%.BAF~
EVALUATE_BUFFER (is this necessary?)
END

See above for my suggestions on alternate locations. This code would just drop them in that other location if TotSC isn't found - you might want to give folks the option to meet them earlier regardless, like BG1NPC does for some late-game NPCs.

Edit: Eh, where's the new version of this mod now?

Edited by Miloch, 06 March 2008 - 08:34 PM.

[Ascension64]

Ah yeah, my oversight.
The mod should be at http://www.shsforums...eidututu-tob-5/, just because there isn't a separate place to put it at the moment.
