Oblivion takes too long to start after I tried to add a dialogue to a custom NPC

[Dimitrisgb]

I can't find Shady Sam's script.

All the NPC's don't have a script and you don't need to script the NPC's to add topics.

 

A quest script is a convenient mean to add topics and the conditions for a dialogue to apply depend of its filtering.

Can you be more specific with your instructions?, Like where should I click and what?

Cause I find it difficult to understand.

I also tried to make a new script and got an error message. The words "endif" and "end" were underlined in red.

What does your script look like?

[Dimitrisgb]

ScriptName JaraskasBackground

short DoOnce

Begin GameMode
addtopic JaraskasBackround
set DoOnce to 1
StopQuest JaraskasBackground
endif
End

Your quest and your script can not have the same editor ID.

 

Your editor ID's are too generic, you should better follow my advice "to avoid the mod conflicts and the crashes they cause create editor ID's you aren't likely to find in the other mods ; a mix of your nickname, a short description and the acronym of your mod makes a perfect combination"

 

You should use the Construction Set Extender, it gives more details about the things that don't work in a script.

 

EDIT: Don't use Endif and your script will work.

Ok, so this is what I wrote:

 

ScriptName ELSRhoJaraskasBackground

short DoOnce

Begin GameMode

addtopic JaraskasInfo

set DoOnce to 1

StopQuest ELSRhondalBackground

End

and still it's not working.

Did you set your script as a quest one and link it to a quest?

[Dimitrisgb]

Yes, I did , but it didn't work at first.

 

All I had to do was wait. I swear, I gave up on it, I loaded a saved game, played some hours, went later to that settlement and BOOM, the MPC has a background story. Now even more NPC's have something more to tell the player.

I even managed to put a small quest to buy a house in the area.

 

Thanx fro your time and help. I appriciate it.
