    I would really like detailed info on how to convert an npc to a recruitable npc, especially Llodriss. If anyone has the time and desire I would greatly appreciate all the help I can get.

    Well for starters, you might wanna add pc.follower_add(npc) to her dialogue.

    Copy-n-paste in these lines and see what happens:

    {46}{Hey, join my party! I'll give you a cookie.}{}{1}{}{47}{}
    {47}{Well, the chick with the cleaver looks a bit creepy but, meh, we can always kill her.}{Well, the chick with the cleaver looks a bit creepy but, meh, we can always kill her.}{}{}{}{pc.follower_add(npc)}
    {48}{See, everyone has their price. Lets go.}{}{1}{}{0}{}

    This should give you the option for her to join right after she says, "I'm not for sale".

    Wow that worked? Sweet, wanted to know how to do that myself :)

    To get her to chat to you in the party, add this lot:

    {300}{What can I do for you, you big sexy boy?}{O its you again.}{}{300}{}{}
    {301}{I need you to leave the group, Lodriss.}{}{8}{}{310}{}
    {302}{You leave group, Lottries.}{}{-7}{}{210}{}
    {304}{Never mind sweety, we'll pick this up later.}{}{1}{}{0}{}
    {306}{E:}{}{1}{}{0}{}
    {310}{Awwwww baby don't leave me... well, if you must. But I'm gonna wait right here til you get back.}{Yeah sure, whatever.}{}{310}{}{pc.follower_remove(npc)}
    {311}{Won't be for long. Bye.}{}{8}{}{0}{}
    {312}{OK. Bye.}{}{-7}{}{0}{}
    {313}{S:}{}{1}{}{0}{}

    And change the 'def san_dialog' thing in py00117Lodriss.py to this:
    Compare this to Elmo's .py file (py00091Elmo.py) to see where to put the line indents (they don't show up on here). This is all untested, can you let me know if it works? I can add Liv's equipment options and some stuff so she only leaves the party in Nulb if you like.

    Otherwise, what other stuff you two wanna say to each other is up to you ;) :kiss:

    O and I can add some stuff where Fruella butts in and gets cranky when you chat to Lodriss if you like, there is recorded sound for that though I have never travelled with her long enough to see if or where she uses it. That'll take me a bit longer.

    On behalf of Troika, who peddle this sort of thing in all their games, I have to speak out on behalf of more girl-on-girl action here. Fruella and Lodriss? Admit it, you're intrigued.

    Plus, it adds another element of tension to an already strained group socio-dynamic. Run with it, Ted! :dance:

    Well, maybe Lodriss with Riana or Serena or whatever those gypsy girls are called... and the occasional comment from Bertram of how he is sick of these all-girl parties.

    Right now I'm console happy/crazy. Lodriss stats are pitifully low. She has all weapon s related feats so I made her a fighter. I'M Cheating big time to boost her scores and stuff.stuff.

    Do that stuff in the protos, George, don't bother with the console (stats i mean).

    Assuming it works without having to restart or something... o well, can't hurt to try :)

    I don't know how to edit protos files but everything is working okay. I'll try some dialogue and see what's up.

    Is Bert sick of mono gender adventuring groups...or social functions that allow only females to gain entrance...? I think he'd be too busy to notice if he had a new love interest of his own...*cough...Lareth...cough*

    :love:

    I always suspected Lareth of swinging both ways, but I'll leave that to your disscreation.
