[ RELz ] ABM 5 updated : III

» Tue May 17, 2011 4:43 pm

hello, I have updated ABM.
Some players, told me the dialogue speed decreases using this mod. I have find a way to reduce it. I believe the improvement is worthy an update.

I think that sending Ajira to http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/2162/screenshot764.jpg for you, is priceless...

Here is the short description

With this mod you have special privileges with the lower ranking members of your faction.
You can:
- promote them,
- teach spells to them and be paid for it,
- teach disciplines to them and be paid for it,
- reward them,
- expel them from the faction.
- the Guild of Mages and House Telvanni members can be sent on mission to collect ingredients for you;
Moreover, some NPCs may offer their special services:
- the Scouts can take you to every place in Vvardenfell,
- the Alchemists and Apothecaries may prepare potions by request,
- the Smiths may forge weapons and armor by request,
- the agents provide you several services;
- the Assassins and Morag Tong members can be hired to execute a target;- the Thieves Guild members can be hired to steal items from the Npcs;
- as member of the Imperial Legion, you may arrest npcs.
- as Master of the Temple, you may accuse people of heresy and they are arrested and may be executed.

:bowdown:

Just curious, what caused the dialogue slowdown? The large number of player responses for the topics? How did you reduce it?

I believe not all the dialogue conditions take the same time to be read by the engine and apparently, MW doesn't like when there are too many "function - choice" as first condition...
So, I divided the responses into groups and each of them has a new condition (a global variable) upon the "function - choice" condition.

THe dialogue may still be a bit slow, but it is much faster now than earlier.

The Children of Morrowind mod actually makes Ajira's fetch quests seem a lot more reasonable... no dialogue changes or anything, just puts a newborn Khajiit in a basket next to her on a chair. So instead of being bossed around by an apprentice, you're doing favors for a new mother

Still though, all resentment or non-resentment of Ajira aside, the mod does intrigue me and I'll definitely think about downloading it to see if it enhances my already-precarious game or crashes it.

I just noticed one thing...
Ever thought of a Fighters' Guild services component in your Big Mod?
The mod is already great but, in my humble opinion, they are an important faction and should not be neglected...

Your thoughts?

PS: Che strano scriversi in inglese tra due italiani.... :biggrin:

which services?

THe only one I can think of, is the chance to hire mercenaries... but this is already done by Dracandros' Voice.

Thanks a lot man. This mod has always been awesome but the slow dialog always lingered on the mind when I installed it. It was really noticeable when combined with other mods that used a lot of the same kind of dialog. Great job!

hm, maybe they can kill all the enemies in a dungeon.
service cost propotional to dungeon difficulty

Dracandro's Voice...
Yeah I forgot about that one :biggrin:

Possibly take on an apprentice (ala UL's mage apprentice) for a fighter/knight's type of life. This would be a bit like a knight's page and could be trained by player as well as training bought for him/her and could be brought in to House Redoran or House Hlaalu after the player rises a bit in one of those houses. The player could then send his/her page out to retrieve things when he is busy with some house business or stuff and answer important questions the page might have about the life of a warrior.
