RPG Dialog 1.4 to T3D 3.8
(*It also works in T3D 3.9)

Since I couldn’t get the Yack Pack working in T3D 3.8, I decided to check out an old GG resource called: RPG Dialog (v1.4). After some experimenting, I was able to get NPCs spawning with the dialog options. Only issue is the sound isn't working. See console errors:

scripts/client/RPGDialog.cs (190): Unable to find function alxIsPlaying
scripts/client/RPGDialog.cs (191): Unable to find function alxStop
scripts/client/RPGDialog.cs (194): Unable to find function alxPlay

I used the following forum topics to get this working:

game/scripts/server/gameCore.cs

- In this function:
function GameCore::startGame(%game)

// // Start the AI on the specified path
// AIPlayer::spawn("Path1");

- Add:

Code: Select all

AIPlayer::spawnAtLocation(Kaneda, DemoPlayer, spawn1, "Test", "test.png", 1);

*Note: This is how you spawn the NPCs
- First is the NPC name: Kaneda
- Second is the datablock used for the NPC: DemoPlayer (derived from game/art/datablocks/aiPlayer.cs)
- Next is the new spawn point: spawn1
- Then the RPG Dialog script: Test (found in the dialogs folder)
- Next the RPG Dialog portrait: test.png (found in the dialogs folder)
- Finally, the RPG Dialog start question: 1

Create a spawnsphere in the world editor and name it "spawn1". Place it where ever you like. Also, if you don't want the player to use this as a spawn point, make sure it's NOT in the playerDropPoints simset.

Hey dude, the dropbox link looks dead. Any chance of a reupload?

Hi. Link is back and working. Sorry about that. I didn't think anyone was interested.
On a separate note, thanks for all your hard work on 3.10! And I enjoy your work blog. Later.
