Default gah! i\'m no programmer, or \'more quest problems\'

why is it that even though something's set up logically enough, if doesn't work?!? ok, /rant.

here's what i'm trying to do:
1-if you encounter the garthans while carrying an item, they tell you to take it to their homeworld.
2-when you reach their homeworld with said item, you can give it to them, and they will love you forever.

seems simple enough:
PAGE 0
encounter notfriendly garthan at nothome and with item,
TEXT go to gartha
FRND garthan

PAGE 1
encounter garthan at home and with item,
TEXT welcome to gartha, trade?
(then give a trade window, etc; probably set a variable so garthan remain friendly)


anyone see what's not working? my results are generally so unpredictable that i have trouble trouble-shooting it - things don't fire off, or they do on your second visit, and/or they go off twice! nur:\

That is similar to the 'Centauri Eye' quest.

You will need to set conditions similar to these:

CONDITION 0
TYPE encounter
STR0 centauri
END CONDITION

CONDITION 1
TYPE haveitem
STR0 it_centaurieye
END CONDITION

CONDITION 2
TYPE homeworld
STR0 centauri
END CONDITION

CONDITION 3
TYPE nothome
STR0 centauri
END CONDITION


Those will work.
(This information is in the alws_centauri.ini file, in the 2.60 version of the Babylon Project mod.)

blech! even that's not working! it just does NOT want to do anything on the garthan homeworld. I changed them to neutral in their race file to match the centauri, and all landing on gartha does is the default actions for a race encounter (hostile=fight, neutral=choose, friendly=trade).

i'm starting to run out of walls to bang my head up against

Attach the file and I will take the time to review it.

seems like i was having a problem w. 'endquest' stalling things from happening. got it fixed now, though i occassionally get the non-homeworld event popup twice in a row; but i can live with that

Look at your Condition 4:
CONDITION 4
TYPE notfriendly
STR0 garthanian
END CONDITION

Change the STR0 to garthan, instead of garthanian.
Everything else looks fine.

Make sure it doesn't conflict with the 'home_gar.ini' file.

luckily nothing's using condition4. i thought perhaps the garthans had some hard-coded stuff that was interfering with my pages (turns out it was just me), so i changed all the garthan stuff to garthanian; then converted it back.

Default Re: gah! i\'m no programmer, or \'more quest proble

I suspect your problem is actually with the mantle_gar quest. During the preenc stage, mantle_gar checks, Page 1 sees that you don't have babulon's mantle, and it makes the garthans your enemy.

The fix is to alter mantle_gar so that once the Garthans think you're Babulon, they'll always be your friend. Takes a bit of their personality away, but it solves your issue.

By the way, the non-homeworld quest occurring twice is probably because the game checks your quest and makes them friendly, then checks the mantle and makes them enemies, then for some reason checks your quest again.

That's my 2 cents.
