Generally if you send Wes the synonyms you want, formatted for those files, and say, "Yo, please put these in file blah.ml for the next version", he does so.

Yeh, I know. I'm an Englishman myself. ;) It's good that the scripting actions and so forth accept both spellings, else there'd be many a typo.

Oh, hmm. I copy-pasted from NI and it gave me an error because I had DIALOG not DIALOGUE. Still might be nice to ask for both spellings (US and UK) to be supported.

Dialogue is "proper" English (think "monologue," "epilogue," "prologue," etc.). That said, I personally hate it, but what can you do?

Incidentally, saying SAY DIALOG_DEFAULT or SAY DIALOG_HOSTILE (or SAY UNHAPPY_BREAKING_POINT) in a .tp2 when you're making your CRE gives a WeiDU error (it doesn't recognise the terms), so you have to SAY at the appropriate offsets instead.

SAY DIALOGUE_DEFAULT #0
SAY DIALOGUE_HOSTILE ~Whatever.~

If you're ever unsure about which named constants are supported, you should always check src/var.ml. For reference, WeiDU v174 =

Incidentally, saying SAY DIALOG_DEFAULT or SAY DIALOG_HOSTILE (or SAY UNHAPPY_BREAKING_POINT) in a .tp2 when you're making your CRE gives a WeiDU error (it doesn't recognise the terms), so you have to SAY at the appropriate offsets instead. Unless we can ask Wes to add those three in.

Make sure you check out the CRE sound slots at 0x0198 and 0x019c (labeled DIALOG_DEFAULT and DIALOG_HOSTILE in NI). These control the creature's "no valid states" dialogue (this is the reason that Arthur, in the Graveyard District, gives a "You visit again..." speech instead of "has nothing to say to you").
You are the best person ever.

Aha, excellent!  Although it still displays the "X has nothing to say to you" message, the string is done, too.  One thing to note is that this only appears to work if the character has a .dlg file assigned.  I took away the dialogue from _0_ftowbe.cre, set her DIALOG_DEFAULT and _HOSTILE to her select common string, and it didn't work.  This means we may need to assign dummy .dlg file to, say, horses and stuff.

Thanks a bunch.  Tutu will become that much more like BG1 now.

Okay, it all works now.  WHILE loops are GOD.

Code: [Select]
COPY_EXISTING ~_0_ftowb.cre~ ~override~
              ~_ftowbe.dlg~ ~override~
READ_LONG 0x0 "filetype"
SET "patched" = 1
WHILE ("%patched%" = 1)
 BEGIN
  SET "patched" = 2
  PATCH_IF ("%filetype%" = 0x20455243) // .cre file
   BEGIN
    WRITE_BYTE 0x18 1
    READ_LONG 0x10c "selected"
   END
  PATCH_IF ("%filetype%" = 0x20474c44) // .dlg file
   BEGIN
    READ_LONG 0x8 "num_states"
    READ_LONG 0xc "off_states"
//    PATCH_IF ("%num_states%" > 0)
     WHILE ("%num_states%" > 0)
      BEGIN
       READ_LONG (("%num_states%" * 0x10) + "%off_states%") "string"
       SET "%num_states%" = ("%num_states%" - 1)
       PATCH_IF ("%string%" = 0x000f423f)
        BEGIN
         WRITE_LONG (("%num_states%" * 0x10) + "%off_states%" + 0x10) "%selected%"
        END
      END
   END

Okay.  I've tried adding a bit that will read the first byte of every state to check if it's string 999999, then replace that with "%selected%".  Unfortunately, I get a parse error when trying to run setup.exe.

Code: [Select]
COMPILE ~tutufix/commoner lines/commonlines.d~

COPY_EXISTING ~_0_ftowb.cre~ ~override~
              ~_ftowbe.dlg~ ~override~
READ_LONG 0x0 "filetype"
SET "patched" = 1
WHILE ("%patched%" = 1)
 BEGIN
  SET "patched" = 2
  PATCH_IF ("%filetype%" = 0x20455243) // .cre file
   BEGIN
    WRITE_BYTE 0x18 1
    READ_LONG 0x10c "selected"
   END
  PATCH_IF ("%filetype%" = 0x20474c44) // .dlg file
   BEGIN
    READ_LONG 0x8 "num_states"
    READ_LONG 0xc "off_states"
//    PATCH_IF ("%num_states%" > 0)
     WHILE ("%num_states%" > 0)
      BEGIN
       READ_LONG (("%num_states%" * 0x10) + "%off_states%") "string"
       SET ("%num_states%" - 1)                                         <--- parse error is at the "(" here
       PATCH_IF ("%string%" = 0x000f423f)
        WRITE_LONG (("%num_states%" * 0x10) + "%off_states%")) "%selected%"
      END
   END
 END

Okay, so far I've worked out a while loop that will read a .cre and patch a .dlg.  Haven't worked out how to replace strref 999999 with "%selected%" yet, though.

COMPILE ~tutufix/commoner lines/commonlines.d~

COPY_EXISTING ~_0_ftowb.cre~ ~override~
              ~_ftowbe.dlg~ ~override~
READ_LONG 0x0 "filetype"
SET "patched" = 1
WHILE ("%patched%" = 1)
 BEGIN
  SET "patched" = 2
  PATCH_IF ("%filetype%" = 0x20455243) // .cre file
   BEGIN
    WRITE_BYTE 0x18 1 // This is just to check if the .cre file gets patched/READ_LONGed
    READ_LONG 0x10c "selected"
   END
  PATCH_IF ("%filetype%" = 0x20474c44) // .dlg file
   BEGIN
    WRITE_LONG 0x1a4 "%selected%" // This is to check if I can write the "%selected%" variable at all, which I can.
//   REPLACE 999999 "%selected%" // This doesn't work worth a damn.
   END
 END
