Antioche Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Was creating a thief style character; reminicing about old stories I'd read the other afternoon, when Shadowspawn and his peers came to mind. within a few minutes I was researching mods that would add abit of flavor and interest to the life of a thief, non-psychic guards and the like. I quickly joined the thieves guild once the character was in IC, and was busy tipping each beggar I came across in hopes of a new interesting rumor or the like; when it occured to me. A child ran by, trailed by another; and I stopped him to talk. ( Children I believe are an invaluable tool for street information for thief types! ) Now, the problem is, Modems city life, and pretty much most versions therof i've ever worked with; limit children's interaction with PC's drastically. Toying with Factions, greetings, and conversation trees, it seems possible to wrestle a SINGLE 'normal' conversation out of a child, complete with pursuasion, ( STOP scowling at me you little rugrat! I'm a HERO dammit! ) AND rumors even; tied to the city or surrounding area. Trouble is, after that 'one' conversation, no matter the outcome ( increase in faction through persuasion etc ) the child's next responce is a generic "The boy looks at you and then continues about his duties" or some such. I can't find that piece of code ANYwhere. I can't stop it from running, but I DO think it is tied to the fact that "breton child" "High elf child" etc. etc. are their own races.. If you change a non-vanilla character to a child, they CAN exibit the same behaviour if their script doesn't override it. so it's ..racial right? How do I stop this? and turn these little urchins into the extensions of the gray fox's eyes and ears they should be? If the barrier can be broken for an initial meeting, then whatever cycle is then being set in motion SHOULD be avoidable isn't it? Also, in this vein, is there any way to link the importance of rumors, or willingness to GIVE them; to fame and/or infamy? Thanks in advance !! ~A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antioche Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Wow.. NO replies yet? Pretty technical question I guess, especially if you don't happen to be one of the three or so modders who have worked extensively with the 'base' of this mod. Ghah...Hate to see this fall to page three.. Not sure what the rules on self-bumping are. :( ~A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzirAphale001 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Which mod is it that you're using to add children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antioche Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 It's a version of Modems' city life. Probably one that is "beautiful people" compatible. was thinking more on this and I'd LIKE to give the kids "kid specific' rumors, ( " So-and-so always heads to the bank to deposite his gold on Friday at noon.." or " Lacy says her uncle keeps a HUGE gem in his flower vase next to his kitchen table! " ) but the whole " The child stares at you then returns to his duties" pretty much precludes any such work. ~A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
