Note that a critter can have more than one faction. Lets concentrate on the first one, which is from the Protos.tab in patch 2, I think. In that case, to talk to them (and say sorry perhaps) the player will either have to raise their entire factional reputation, or fulfill a quest that will then open up a new dialogue branch and of course raise their rep).Ĭonfused? No matter, lets start again and be methodical this time.įactions are set in col 154 of Protos.tab (by ProtoEd numbering, or just look for NPC Factions in ToEEWB).
So no negative rep things in the standard dialogue tree perhaps, that can be acccessed over and over (or if there are, the NPC might have a thing in their san_dialog script that below a certain point, say 20, they refuse to talk at all and thus the person can't push them below zero. This reminds us that when it comes to handing out negative reps, you have to be careful: just because ur player is slightly unpleasant doesn't mean folks in a bastion of Order like the Keep will start trying to kill them (or it shouldn't). We saw back in ummmm tutorial 1 or 2 that you can start a dialogue with the generic greeting,
These were rather poorly handled in ToEE, despite having a very good framework within which to operate - thats the story of the game, I guess. Today we are going to deal with the issue of reputations and reactions.
