http://thepit.ja-galaxy-forum.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=241991&&srch=NPC+scripting+info#msg_241991
Thanks, I allready know this one but the more it's brought to public the better. It's very useful for npc-scripting and helped me a lot to understand.
But those npc-scripts are also connected with edt-files for the text of the subtitles shown (if used). PCM is an example.
--------------
Regarding a real new quest, so far everywhere I looked, it doesn't seem possible because stuff is hardcoded.
But then I looked into the BriefingRoom-Feature. There is close to no information to find about this one, and only one working example.
In this example, there is an Overhead.lua file that is adressing quests 27-29. But it doesn't come with a changed exe, nor are those quests listed
in the Quest.lua coming with the example.
if ( gWorldSectorX == GetCharacterSectorX (216) and gWorldSectorY == GetCharacterSectorY (216) and gWorldSectorZ == GetCharacterSectorZ (216) and PCInSameRoom(216) == true and CheckMercIsDead (217) == true and CheckGlobalBool(1) == false and CheckMission(1) == Progress.MISSIONSTART ) then
SetGlobalTrue (1)
SetEndMission(1) -- end mission 2, next mission 3
EndQuest(27, gWorldSectorX, gWorldSectorY ) -- end mission 2. this uses NPC 'ART' quotes.
StartQuest(28, gWorldSectorX, gWorldSectorY ) -- mission 3. this uses NPC 'ART' quotes.
end
After seeing this, I thought I better ask again if this hardcoded thing is true.
I also asked at BriefingRoom-Thread for a description, but the last entry from the author, RoWa21, is from 2013.
But even just for editing an existing quest, like seen in many mods, I can't find any description what is basicly needed to change.
I thought for example Quests.lua would be a must-use, but looking at the example, that doesn't seem to be nescessary.
But then, maybe that's only true for this feature, one of the many puzzling things about this.
Sigh, without description I'm back to research old mods and do Trial-and-Error.
All this burrying out old documents and interpret them for today, I guess I gonna add Digital Historian to my Vita
If I ever manage to add a quest, I'm gonna post it.
