The cutscenes aren't added by me--they were originally intended, as far as I can tell. If you uninstall the mod and check out Head1 > Head 5, there are cutscenes for each of them. All I did was add the dialogue back in and trigger them, heh.

Awesome, thanks for the corrections

Yes, I saw them... but do you see what I mean? - the last line of each head's dialogue strongly suggests that you're supposed to be able to talk to the others. I actually wonder if they went through two iterations before deciding to resort to the current minimal version?

That's actually what I was thinking. I would email one of the devs about it, but I'm not sure if its worth their time, really. If I have some time this weekend I'll do a different version where the player has to go around and actually ask them.

If anyone else wants to have a go, feel free!

Just loaded it and watched. I would definitely suggest making the player click on each head. Makes more sense based on the statements.

BTW:: That is really cool. I like stuff that adds flavor.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, I think I might have to admit defeat with regards to making each had have its own spiel as the player wanders around the map. The only way I can think of doing it is to patch the area so that the info points all have different scripts, which is a bit beyond my meagre patching abilities!

I'm definitely capable of the scripting involved, just not the patching, so if someone wouldn't mind writing the necessary tp2 patch for the area (so that each info point has its own script) then I'd be happy to do it. I just can't do the actual patching myself!

COPY_EXISTING ~ar4000.are~ ~override~
  READ_SHORT 0x5a region_count
  READ_LONG 0x5c region_offset
  FOR (i=0;i<region_count;i=i+1) BEGIN
	WRITE_EVALUATED_ASCII (region_offset + i*0xc4 + 0x7c) ~kae_s%i%~ #8
  END

now every info point has its own script: kae_s0 - kae_s9

Thanks, Bearwere! Will get onto this ASAP.

[Kaeloree]

I'll make it available as soon as I can.

Hi K'aeloree!

Version 18 of Unfinished Business hasn't Throne of Bhaal Heads in its components.

(Sob) Any chance of having file .tra of your mini mod?

[Jarno Mikkola]

Version 18 of Unfinished Business hasn't Throne of Bhaal Heads in its components.

Use The Wheels of Prophecy, as it has the content of this mod.

[Giuseppe]

I knew it, but in this way I'll have to translate the entire mod.

Anyway, thank you for the suggestion, Jarno!

[Kaeloree]

Wish I had more time to flesh this out more. What I'd actually suggest is getting DavidW to contribute his version to UB, as (in my opinion) it's far better than mine. But if you'd like this version, Giuseppe, I'd be happy to .TRAify it.

But if you'd like this version, Giuseppe, I'd be happy to .TRAify it.

I *adore* it!

I can also imagine how you must be busy - make it available when you have some free time
